Default Cushion for slamming doors

How about a thin bead of matching caulking (or clear)

Is there some kind of continuous gasket or something that can be painted
the same color as to door jam that will cushion the blow when a door
closes?




They sell special hinges for that. Usually only used for solid-core
doors, but they may have ones small enough for an interior door. I'd try
self-adhesive rubber pads on the hinge faces. Find ones squishy enough
that you can still pull the door closed over them. Make take some trial
and error, carving them thin enough so door can still latch. Either that
or the old trick of bending a hinge pin, so door doesn't swing so easily.
