Any ideas about decorating a wardrobe door please

We have very plain white wardrobe doors and are looking for something to decorate them with. We've had Shortwood Carvings before but I think they are a bit too fussy and I don't want gold.
Hubby made the wardrobes himself. There are 6 floor to ceiling doors on one wall, two either side of the bed and 5 small doors above the bed. They all have 'crystal' round handles with small silver bits attaching them to the door.
I'd just add that there is skirting underneath and coving at the top so not quite floor to ceiling lol.
Any ideas please.

If it's just the plain white that's the problem, how about painting them the same colour as the walls - but in satinwood rather than emulsion?0

Could you decoupage them?0

Stencils? Easy to do and you can paint over if you want to change.

Cover with fabric, PVA it on. I did my front door [in a lock of flats] looked fab.Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0

Change the handles? Makes a bigger difference than you might think if you get really nice ones: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/explore/cupboard-knobs/?lp=true0

If they're covering large areas of the wall, why not use less obvious handles and treat them as wall? I think decorated wardrobes look pretty dated unless they're quirky old ones.0

Thank you everyone. Don't fancy them the same colour as the walls and I love the handles so wouldn't change them lol.
In our first house, we covered spare bedroom wardrobe doors with fabric and must admit it did look nice - looked like sacking but that was nearly 50 years ago. Good idea but a lot of work.
Quite like the ideas of decoupage and stencilling though0
