Offbeat and Unique Doorways
What does your home say right from the start? Boring or extraordinary? If you’re going to be offbeat, you may as well start with the door.
Crazy Barcelona door:
Luna: Light + Air Door from seven02design. This innovative door, works as a vent, while still ensuring security and privacy. The series of holes in the door can be opened and closed easily with a knob, of course, adjusting sound, light, and air between rooms. Thanks to Gizmodo (UK) for the heads up.
Yikes. Welcoming gate, huh. Perfect for homes with small children.
Round tiny door: 16cm x 15 cm.
So, of course you won’t be fitting through a door that’s only 16cm x 15 cm but I had to mention these fairy doors, because as it turns out, fairy doors are popular. Who knew? They’re also fairly odd. Here’s another set below; only this time, the fairy door is right next to the main entrance. Good for when busy fairy and people days end at the same time.
Curvy mod doors via 2modern.
Art deco door - install at your own risk… of embarrassment.
So, which door are you thinking of? Be aware, if you say the flamingo door, I will have to pretend I don’t know you.

I’d probably vote for the curvy mod door but I have to say I’m intrigued by the fairy door. (Plus, set it a little lower and you could use it as a cat door–always a plus.)

I know that you really want the pink door. You can’t fool me :D
Those fairy doors are so odd. I guess tons of little girls are obsessed with them. Having a “very boy” son I never knew. People put them on trees and all kinds of things.

The fairy doors are kinda cute, I’ve never heard of them before. Of course I also only have a boy, who hates anything that might be for girls:)

We are going to build Tottie Tomato’s Story Door into our next house. (We’re moving in about a year, so we won’t be leaving the Story Door behind)

Linette, you should see the little fairy doors people put on trees in their gardens - so cute. I want a girl!
Noreen, thanks for the link. I’ll check it out.
