Hi! I painted my old hollow doors. I had serious thoughts about adding molding, but, didn't have the budget at the time. The white paint really spruced them up. I've seen lots and various molding used, since then. A friend painted hers black and they were very dramatic! Good luck!

Add molding to the field (center) of the door. Not along the perimeter.

Here’s how we made over our plain door: https://www.frugalfamilytimes.com/2019/05/our-easy-hollow-core-door-makeover/
Hello. We had the same situation and ended up buying new hollow core doors with the impressed panel framing. They were very expensive and not worth our frustration of the many miter cuts and alignment for our needs. Something to consider.
You can add trim to make them look like panel doors.
Washi tape can give them a cool modern look.
Painting can go a long way is refreshing. Then you can add something unique like vinyl cut outs.
