If you are passionate about playing cards, this could be the opportunity to include them in your decor. It doesn't matter whether it's hearts, clubs, spades or diamonds: choose your lucky suit and consider decorating the doors of your house with these symbols (or a mix of them) printed on specially made decals!

2. A classic touch

If nineteenth-century buildings fascinate you and you would like this style in your home, why not consider this type of patterning decal for the kitchen door, for example? The effect will be very elegant indeed.

3. How to make a room larger with just one feature

If space is tight in your home, then you could opt for an optical illusion that gives the feeling of spaciousness. A mirror mounted on a door could be the answer you've been looking for - or even a decal of a mirror on a door! Check out the wonderful opening-up effect.

4. A passion for flowers

If you love flowers, a door decoration in this theme is for you. Simply apply flower/plant-themed decals to your doors and you're back in nature in no time.

9. "You need a little encouragement in life..."

If a boost is what you're missing to start the day on the right foot, then the time has come to choose a motivational phrase and have it stuck on the bedroom or kitchen door. It could be the first thing you read when you wake up and will put pep in your step.

10. Subtle

If you like pastel colors and delicate shades, consider covering the doors in your home in this way. You could choose a different color for each room and, if you like the idea, match the colors to the furniture. The effect will be wonderful.

11. "Oh no! It never ends!"

Here's another wonderful optical illusion on a door decal that gives an sense of infinite depth. What an incredible effect!

Do you love the seaside? Well, why not bring the seaside into your home? No, we are not joking and it is possible, but you will have to settle for a "dry" sea displayed on the doors. This will make you feel like you're still on holiday!

13. An extra window always helps...

If you believe that there are too few windows in your home, then the time has come to put in another - but without knocking down any walls. All you need is a decal specially made for doors, and your home will be transformed.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a window at home from which to enjoy looking at the moon and stars. Here's a way to do this anyway. Perhaps also with light reflecting off the water will give each room the touch of romance that was missing.

15. Watch out for the cat!

Is this cat really entering the house? No - it's just an image on a decal, but it can still provide a degree of feline company to those who want it.

16. Glass door?

If you have a glass door in your home or office and it gives you the feeling of a sterile environment, think about decorating it, perhaps with leaves, flowers or other natural materials. 

Transforming your home seems like a titanic undertaking, but it doesn't mean that major interventions need to be made to give it a new life. These decals are just what you need for a cheap, quick rennovation.
