The French Door is perhaps one of the most impactful, yet underrated, design details you can add to a main ground-floor room, such as a living room or kitchen, to brighten your home. These architectural solutions aren't most people's first line of thought for fixing design problems, but photos of Jim Carrey's home from 1991 show why maybe they should be.

White, glass, and gold doors on the side of the comedian's home serve peak '90s chicness. Jim sits on the ledge, ushering light into his wooden living room. Though the space is barely visible, the many windows on the doors mean that Carrey's backyard view will be just as much a part of the interiors as the piano and hardwood floors we can see through them.
