Don’t send your old door to the junkyard just yet. Upcycled doors can be repurposed in dozens of creative ways, adding a vintage-chic feel to any room.
Repurposing, reusing, and upcycling an old door is just a great idea. Turning your old door frames into beautiful and functional pieces for your home.
Wooden doors make for a gorgeous DIY headboard! If you like this natural style, scrape off the old, chipped paint, sand the door down, and give it a stain to bring out the natural luster. Then drill and secure the doors onto the wall behind the bed. This style looks especially great placed on top of white walls. Alternatively, paint your doors if you prefer a pop of color behind your bed!
Upcycled doors are great additions to wedding decor, especially for a country wedding! You can use them as photo booths, altar backdrops, table tops, hanging tables, photo/menu boards, or seating charts. They add so much rustic charm!
Old doors can make the perfect upcycled item. You can use them to create some privacy via an outdoor nook in your yard or the corner of your garden. These can make great additions to any property and add a lot of value. Just attach the doors with some hinges, and you can create a covered area to relax in when the sun is relentlessly beating down on your head.
And while you’re spending time in your yard, you might as well consider the obvious – or not so obvious, depending on how you look at it – and build a garden fence with your leftover collection of doors. You can use these doors to attract attention to a certain part of your property or to keep unwanted critters away.
As a nightstand, a door makes a great addition to a room. Since it is quite tall compared to the height of a bed, the top of the door provides space for you to add an attachment or an adornment that can really spruce up a room.
And with that, we come to the real reason why it is a genius idea to mount a door sideways inside your home. When you do, you can create a folding table that can become the perfect place to fold laundry and keep things organized. Since it folds up and down, the door-on-the-wall trick can help you save square footage as well.
If you’re into the vintage look, you’ll love this upcycled porch swing! This delightful swing is made from an upcycled door and antique table. It has such a sweet farmhouse style and can comfortably fit 3 people.
The essence of upcycling is to make something new from something old. This process can breathe new life into your home’s decor. Whether you use an upcycled door as a decorative piece inside your home or garden; an upcycled door will never fail you. All it takes is some creativity, and a little bit of effort to create the perfect project!
