Paint should make a huge change for a small cost. :)
Hi Hilda, a picture of the door would help us provide better recommendations; however, fresh paint and perhaps the use of stencils or adding verbiage to the door might help alleviate the tired look. Perhaps accent any hardware or design items on the door with a contrasting color paint.
I agree. Painting is the easiest and cheapest way to go.
Painting it would be the easiest thing to do - you could also paint on flowers or whatever you like if that is something that would fit with your decor
Agree paint would be a cheap and dramatic change. But this would be a great time to add a little personality either thru color or a added graphic or design.
I agree with painting but I would definitely power wash it first and use an oil-based paint such as Rustoleum to make sure it will last.
Hi Hilda, it depends what the door is for, where it's located, what your style it, etc, but there are some really great large decals for sale now. They could transform the door into a work of art and they're all just peel and stick.
Painting is always a great upstyling improvement and economical option. Posting a picture of your door might be helpful to give you give us more information to offer more narrow and custom suggestions. Hope you find the perfect solution
I agree that a new paint color is a good way to go!

By “tired” do you mean rusting?
You could screw pallet wood onto it in any of a number of patterns.
You could paint it
Hi! We switched from sliders to French doors, which I like much better! It was worth the cost of professional installation!
Paint it! That would totally make it look better.
