Doorway Trompe l'Oeil: Couture Deco

These doorway graphics are convincingly realistic, and feature such exotic scenes as Montmartre's stairs and the French catacombs.

While we're not sure it's a safe idea to clad a solid wooden door with an image that looks like a beguiling stairway, we do like the funny scenes of a closet stuffed with books (as if we ever read anything that doesn't come from the internet) or the empty closet filled only by hangers (as if we have an inch extra space in our apartments).

You can order these pieces and more at Couture Déco.

absolutely love it.

Photoshop disaster, hey there's a blog for that!

I like the empty hangers one...but the designs would really have no purpose in my place. Maybe a fun one in a child's room?

I think it's kind of tacky.

#4 is really depressing...

I like them, but I'm not sure I'd want to put them on a door. I think I would prefer to have one at the back of a closet. You open the closet, move some clothes out of the way, and hey, there's a mysterious staircase here. Hmm...

A little less tacky, a little more magical, and very Narnia-esque. :D

i think nobody would walk into the door in real life; it looks more realistic in a picture. i find them funny, perhaps for a door off the hallway - too "funny" for anything in a room, though.

its a fantastic idea - but! checking their website its so expensive! actually it costs more than my actual door! lol!

I like the last two. The idea of having them in the back of a closet sounds like so much fun!

We love our door poster of a classic English red phone booth. It's on the door of our coat closet. It's perfect.

Minor necessities like doorknobs kinda ruin the effect - No?

Although probably mistaken, is the large, stone, exterior staircase the one from the movie The Excorcist? If not, it reminds me of it.

omg. it does.

Nope, reading on...Montmartre. Mon dieu! A little off from Georgetown...

"J'adore" !!! I was in France last summer I've seen so many of them in homes during my trip. This is a really stylish way to decorate your home for a small portion of the airfare ;-)

Montmartre.. The Excorcist.. Come on.. Montmarte is the best romantic place in the world !!!!! ;-)))

Roshin - I love your idea of putting them on the back of a door!!

I think these are really fun/funny. If this was installed in the back of my son's closet he would NEVER come out of there.
Oh the adventures he would have......

Great idea! Wish they made them for my ugly double fold out doors.

When I was a teen I would jog up and down the Exorcist stairs...and that pic is NOT of those stairs.

I hit "Submit" too soon...here are the Exorcist stairs: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/features/dcmovies/exor2.htm

They connect Prospect and M streets in Georgetown

these are really fun.

"If this was installed in the back of my son's closet he would NEVER come out of there.

I guarantee he would have far more adventures if he came out of the closet...

*bepsf* Too funny!

To me they scream "dorm room poster". Sorry.

They are indeed VERY expensive... but what you do with your doorknob??!!

I'm a teacher in a classroom without a single window, and these would be GREAT to put up over the closet door. I've often thought about covering one wall in a giant photographic mural would be so nice.

But at that price, no way. Lowe's sells wall-sized ones for $150.

Basicmouth, come on... the one you'll find at Lowe's will definitly not be the same quality. It is not the traditional wall size posters we use to see on stores from 80's.
And best of all, not the same pictures. This is not a poster it is more like a canvas. But ok, I admit these will fit more a stylish home that a classroom.

These Doors trompe l'oeil are now at $199.00.
