Be creative and don’t limit your design. Go Google some diamond shapes, and apply them with various and colorful washi tapes. Don’t forget to place a large hanging mirror at the back of your door to give your room a larger effect. However, beware of people slamming your door too hard. If you are worry that it might shatter, you can place the mirror elsewhere.
