If you paint, then it's right
Do you know why you can immediately see that the door is painted? Because important rules were not followed: there was no preliminary surface preparation, implying sanding and sealing all cracks, the handles are not unscrewed (therefore, around them there are stains and smudges of paint). And one more important point - choose not a brush for painting, but a roller. Then there will be no characteristic stripes, and the surface will become uniform and neat.
Wallpaper on the doors is real
It is quite possible to decorate the doors with wallpaper, provided that the canvas is absolutely even. You can take the same wallpaper as in the room, then you get the effect of a hidden door.
In order for the wallpaper to stick well to the canvas, you need to use not an ordinary wallpaper paste, but PVA.
If you have not found such wallpaper on a non-woven basis, but only on paper, additionally cover the surface with acrylic varnish.
Painting on doors
Painted doors are something fabulous, especially if the master knows a lot about his work. If you are unsure of your artistic skills, use stencils.
Door mirror

You can use not a solid mirror, but a flexible glass mosaic - it will look very impressive.
Self-adhesive film on the door
Another easy-to-use and inexpensive option for updating the door is to use a self-adhesive film. The drawing on it can imitate wood, stone, or be monochromatic.
Before pasting, the surface of the door must be cleaned and degreased. It is necessary to apply the film gradually, from the upper edge, using a rag, ironing it as it sticks in order to expel excess air. If the bubbles still remain, they can be pierced with a sharp thin needle and expelled air.
