Last Friday I wrote about rustic style bathrooms and how I love seeing natural elements such as wood and concrete in all white interiors. Even in small doses these materials have the ability to add so much depth, texture and warmth. Well, recently I've stumbled across some interiors that feature vintage or recycled doors and the effect is striking. I can't seem to get enough of the contrast between the raw timber and pristine white surroundings.
This beautiful minimalist home is a great example...

So there you go. If you're renovating, don't throw away your old doors just yet! Whether you're remodelling the living room, bedroom or any area of your home that has internal doors, they could become a standout feature of your freshly painted white interiors.

You could also use recycled doors purely as a decorative element, as shown with the shutters (above), or as a bedhead...
