Every day feels special when you open these artisan doors
You can create your own exotic escape, no matter where you live.
The most memorable homes don't wait until you're inside to make an impression—they greet you at the threshold. Mogul Interior's hand-carved entry doors transform ordinary comings and goings into moments of genuine pleasure, capturing those "somewhere beautiful" vibes year-round. And while statement doors elevate any home, we really love them for creating that instant sense of sanctuary.
But why stop at the entrance? The coastal aesthetic that works so beautifully on carved doors translates perfectly to interior furnishings—especially when you bring in whitewashed armoires and sideboards that continue that breezy, collected luxury throughout your home.
The Wellness Aesthetic That Works Anywhere
The artisan coastal look is all about natural wood textures, intricate hand-carved details, and those weathered patinas that make you think of faraway places. Mogul Interior's collection features carved wood doors sourced from across India—each one carved by master craftsmen using techniques passed down through generations. We're talking jali lattice doors that turns sunlight into lace-like patterns, lotus motifs that symbolize fresh starts, and aged teak that's weathered real monsoons and collected real stories.
The best part? These hand-carved wooden doors work just as beautifully on the California coast as they do in landlocked suburbia. That's what makes authentic craftsmanship so special—it transports you no matter where you actually live. Each antique carved door is both functional architecture and sculptural art, setting the mood before anyone even steps inside.
Different Ways to Do It
You've got options if you don't want to go full-on ornate. Go for the coastal bohemian vibe with doors that have simpler geometric carvings and natural wood finishes. Or lean into something more polished like the California coastal aesthetic, where carved doors pair with clean architectural lines for a tailored, sophisticated entry.
The Whitewashed Luxury Look
For those who want maximum coastal impact, Mogul Interior's hand-carved wooden doors come in whitewashed or sun-bleached finishes that are absolutely stunning. These carved wood doors bring instant luxury—the intricate carvings create depth and texture that catches light beautifully throughout the day. But it's really the vintage coastal style and that whitewashed patina on these antique carved doors that give them their breezy, sun-soaked personality.
Picture this: vintage wood doors with carved lotus motifs peeking through layers of pale paint, delicate jali panels casting gorgeous shadows on white walls, aged brass hardware adding warmth against all that cool white. The rustic carved door effect feels like something you'd find at a Mediterranean villa or in Santorini—that mix of luxury and laid-back ease. These decorative carved doors turn everyday entries into something worth pausing for.
Design Detail We Love: That vintage brass accents aged to honeyed gold. Combined with the hand-chiseled carvings showing through whitewash, it's completely transportive—like stepping through the door of a villa.
Once you've set the mood at your entrance, keep that coastal luxury going in bedrooms and living spaces with Mogul Interior's whitewashed armoires. These hand-carved beauties bring the same artisanal quality as the entry doors, just sized for interiors
What makes each vintage armoire special:
- Hand-carved floral and geometric patterns that add real texture and visual depth
- Whitewashed finishes that let the wood grain show through—authentic weathered charm, not faux aging
- Brass artwork details like ornate corner brackets, decorative hinges, and medallions
- Brass nailstuds carefully placed to create patterns along door frames and panels
- Aged patina on all the metalwork for that collected-over-time feel
The nailstud detailing is especially gorgeous on whitewashed pieces. Those rows of brass studs catch the light like jewelry, bringing a subtle glamour that takes the coastal aesthetic beyond casual beach house into something more sophisticated. Think French Riviera, not boardwalk.
How People Are Actually Using Them:
In bedrooms: Place a whitewashed armoire across from your bed to balance out a carved door headboard. The repeated carved details tie everything together while the whitewash keeps it feeling light and airy.
In entryways: Put a tall armoire in your foyer to echo your carved entry door. Use it for shoes, bags, and seasonal stuff while keeping that global, collected vibe going from your front door inward.
In living rooms: Whitewashed armoires make surprisingly great wardrobe cabinets or bar storage. Close the carved doors to hide clutter, open them up to show off vintage glassware—either way, those brass nailstuds and carved details look amazing.
Sideboards That Actually Make a Statement
If armoires feel too tall for your space, Mogul Interior's whitewashed sideboards give you that same artisanal appeal in a lower, longer format. These pieces work incredibly hard—providing tons of storage while giving you surface space for lamps, artwork, and all those things you've collected.
What makes carved sideboards different:
It's those hand-carved panels on drawer fronts and cabinet doors. Even with a whitewashed or natural wood finish, the carvings create depth and shadow play that flat surfaces just can't match. Add brass artwork accents—detailed corner pieces, decorative backplates on handles, ornate keyhole covers—and you've got furniture that doubles as sculpture.
The brass nailstuds on carved sideboards usually outline drawer fronts or run along the carved detail, creating clean visual definition. When you style them with brass candlesticks, vintage brass frames, or even modern brass table lamps, all those metallic touches create a curated, collected look that feels intentional without being too matchy.
Styling Tips That Actually Work:
Layer your textures: Pair whitewashed furniture with natural stuff—rattan baskets, linen table runners, ceramic vessels. The variety keeps all that white from feeling flat or boring.
Love the imperfections: These are real antique pieces with history. Variations in the whitewashed wood, spots where more wood shows through, a little weathering on the brass—these aren't flaws, they're what makes each piece authentic and special.
Balance ornate with simple: If you're using heavily carved doors and furniture, keep your walls and bigger pieces fairly simple. Let the carved elements be the stars of the show.
Mix metals the right way: The brass details on Mogul Interior carved furniture look beautiful with other warm metals—copper, bronze, aged gold. Just avoid mixing with chrome or shiny silver, which feels too modern for this vibe.
Why We Love the Sustainability Angle
Here's what really makes investing in Mogul Interior's carved wood collection feel good: every single piece is a restoration, not a reproduction. These vintage carved doors, armoires, and sideboards have been carefully sourced from across India, lovingly restored by skilled artisans, and given a second (or third, or fourth) life in modern homes.
Creating Your Own Maximalist Feel
Mogul Interior's carved entry doors prove that coming home should feel less routine and more like returning somewhere you actually want to be. The vintage armoires and sideboards keep that feeling going throughout your home, creating spaces filled with texture, history, and that hard-to-define quality that only comes from real handcrafted pieces.
Whether you start with a statement entry door, add a bedroom armoire with those gorgeous brass nailstuds, or anchor your dining room with a hand-carved sideboard, you're building a home that tells a story. The vintage maximalist aesthetic isn't really about it's about capturing that feeling of escape, of slowing down, of living with pieces that have soul.
