Yes, but it also take a special kind of arrogance to override an architect's vision for a particular development. For example, my parents' housing estate was designed with no garden walls at the front so that the houses would seem as if they are almost in a park and there would be an expanse of green all the way along the roads. Then a few territorial types took it into their heads to build piddly little garden walls so now the road is a hodge podge of some green with a few silly walls around some gardens. There is no design consensus so the street doesn't look as good as it could look. Anarchy in design doesn't usually work. Usually it looks better when one person makes the design decisions and one, cohesive vision is expressed. For example, would you employ a different interior decorator with wildly different styles for each room in your house? It might work, but there's a greater chance it will look like the hodge-podge that it is. Would you have one dress designer make your whole dress or would you ask for pockets and collar to be cut by someone else? In some cases, a good result can come of an individual resident on a street making their own strong statement with the exterior of their house (we're not talking about subtleties such as colour of doors etc), but they are definitely the exceptions that prove the rule. I can think of many examples of tasteless 'improvements' made by individual residents to their properties (e.g. the one pictured above, frankly) and only a few good ones.

Hi, yes I did get my bookcase door. My joiner made a bespoke matching pair of bookcases, one of which is a door. I ordered the hinges from Murphy Doors in USA and they provide a basic set of plans. Finished product is brilliant.

I’m sure some of the pros will advise better than I can but based on what I have seen with some other angles doors the top of the door frame where the point is could be squared off slightly with a wood panel so the actual door has a small flat top instead of a point if that makes sense?

Hi, sounds fabulous! I believe the best way to tackle this is to use a pivot hinge on the door. See pic below, but I would place the pivot fairly close to one side so you still get a decent sized opening. Using a hinge like this means you will not need architraves inside that room and the plaster can go right up to the opening, allowing a smooth base for the mural.
