A California Spanish Revival Home Defined by Floral Carved Antique Doors

A Spanish Revival home in California finds renewed expression through an abundant use of floral motifs, hand-carved doors, and whimsical tilework that appears in almost every room. Rooted in the romance of early 20th-century architecture, the home balances historic reference with an expressive, collected sensibility, where ornamentation is embraced rather than restrained.

Throughout the residence, carved doors serve as both functional architecture and sculptural art. Antique floral carved green doors, sourced from Mogul Interior, anchor key transitions between rooms, their weathered patina and botanical reliefs evoking old-world courtyards and monastery gardens. In other spaces, reclaimed wood French doors and antique rustic doors introduce warmth and texture, reinforcing the tactile richness central to Spanish Revival design. A feature wall art installation composed of a vintage sunburst carved barn door panel transforms what might otherwise be negative space into a dramatic focal point.

Floral hand-carved custom French doors appear repeatedly, creating visual continuity while allowing each room its own personality. An antique carved floral entry door sets the tone at the threshold, signaling the layered craftsmanship found within. Even utilitarian elements are elevated, as seen in a whitewash wood sliding barn door whose softened finish allows the carving to remain the hero.

Complementing the carved wood doors, whimsical tiles enliven floors, stair risers, and bathrooms with layered pattern and color. Rather than matching perfectly, the tiles vary subtly, giving the home an authentic, lived-in character. This dialogue between hand-carved doors, textured woodwork, and decorative tile captures the essence of Spanish Revival style—where artistry, imperfection, and storytelling define the space.

The result is a home that feels deeply rooted yet personal—an environment where floral motifs, antique doors, and handcrafted surfaces come together to celebrate California’s enduring relationship with romance, craftsmanship, and light.
