How to create beautiful Fire Doors

Iron wrought firedoor

Fire doors are usually ugly but are a must in commercially used buildings, right? I got hired by the company Personal Court Reporters in Van Nuys, near Los Angeles to create a Trompe L’Oeil for the fire doors and the entry. The wine cellar door I did some time ago was the actual reason why my client contacted me. He really liked this style of  the wrought iron door  in front of a wine cellar.

I found and adjusted a design for  thre fire doors, one in front of the elevator and the office entry door.

The background is a transparent greyish white, and creates the illusion of matte glass behind the iron doors.

One good thing is that the firedoors are made out of metal, so I just had to imitate the color of the handles.

 These wrought iron doors bring life into the hallway and add some elegant touch to the whole floor.
Interested in making the best out of the fire doors or any door?
