Decorate with Doors

"Who would have thought interior doors would make such a difference?"

Transform the look of your home just by changing your interior doors, hinges and hardware. Why not open up a greater sense of space with an Impression™ mirrored door? Or add natural light to a dark office with glass-panel French Doors. You can even complement your cabinets by matching their finish to new interior doors. Just imagine how your home could look with new JELD-WEN interior doors.

If you have hollow, white, builder-grade doors in your home, it's easy to create a truly custom look to your home by changing out your doors. If you're like most homeowners, you never even thought about replacing your interior doors, especially if you have a newer home. But new homes often come with hollow-core doors, and most builders don't focus on interior doors as a main selling or decorative feature. It's easiest for them to put the same type and style of door in every opening, order all doors in the same color and sell the home as quickly as possible. But for resale purposes, what better way to separate your home from the me-too pack? And it's so much more affordable than a major renovations – and the whole installation process is complete in just a few hours.


If you're not planning to sell your home, but strive to make it a showplace where you have not overlooked a single detail, replacing outdated and worn interior doors with a fresh new style - complete with the latest hardware and finishes – can dramatically change the personality of your home, making it more in tune with your furnishings and decor. At The Design Center featuring JELD-WEN Windows & Doors, we can take your interior doors from boring to beautiful in just a few hours. Choose from contemporary, traditional or something in between.

It's really this easy:




• Define your home's openings, identifying the number and type of door openings in your home – you can even add a door where none exist – helping to better define a space with unique character.


• Choose your doors, selecting the style that best suits your needs and taste.


• Choose your door color - specifying one of our many standard paint and stain finishes, or choose a custom color – there's no limit to your design possibilities.
