Color your door. Doors of this type are often made of wood and are therefore brown. They can be painted, however, becoming any color of the rainbow.

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."
- English poet William Blake

Creak! Does the idea of a creaky door send chills up your spine? Or does an open door remind you of the colorfully painted rowhouses of your favorite childhood television series?

In literature, doors are often used to represent choices and the outcomes the character must face.

Although inanimate, doors have played a role in many cartoons and films.

For example, in the 2001 film Monsters, Inc., doors similar to the one in this tutorial served as windows into the human world, the basis of the monsters' economy. Much of the film's plot revolves around finding or restoring the correct door to get Boo home.
