25 Creative Classroom Door Designs

Back to school season is a great time for teachers and students to unleash their creativity in designing their own classrooms. Some teachers like to take it one step further by painting their classroom doors with colourful designs that reflect their teaching style and subject area, often involving their students in this fun activity.

We followed the Instagram hashtag #classroomdoors and found these amazing door decorations where teachers and students showcase their inner Picassos. Here is our roundup of the best classroom door designs you can get inspiration from!
