To disguise a door that interrupted a wall in his dining room in his centuries-old space in Paris, artist/dealer Maxime Defert painted an elaborate pattern that turned the the door in a very undoorlike objet. It isn’t necessary to be an artist to disguise a door; there are all sorts of ways to achieve the affect.
This inspired wall illusion done with yellow tape appears to cast light on the door of shop. It could also be done with paint…
We love this wondrous trompe l’oeil door in Brooklyn (we often barter with friends for their art skills, in exchange for some of ours)…
This red door embedded in a high gloss square relies on reflection to make it recede…
With a graphic quality similar to this…
Dining room door has murals from the early XIX century painted around it …
Hand painted “wall papers” completely disguise this door
You can go high end with wallpapers to obliterate doors…
Or look toward nature for elaborate trompe l’oeil…
….like beach-themed garage doors
