A fun way to make rooms more exciting is to trim out your doors! This was an easy update and made my home look more unique and sophisticated. If you have space, you could even replace doors with something fun like a barn door. An even more fun twist would be to search antique stores for that perfect old trim and give it a new life in your home. - New Garage Doors
