Ideas for using old doors and frames in the interior

When making renovations, people often remove old interior doors and windows that could still serve well. And designers really believe that they can be successfully used in a new interior, creating unusual decorative elements. The imagination of specialists is limitless; many unique items are made from old doors and window frames that look great in a renovated apartment.

Unusual design ideas using doors and frames

There are many options for using doors and frames. They can be used in different rooms, in particular, living rooms, bedrooms and even hallways. Designers suggest thinking about the following applications:

• headboard for a bed (a single-leaf door would be an excellent option for a single-and-a-half bed, and a double-leaf door for a family double bed; canvases with various decorative elements or relief details look attractive);
• dressing table (a dream for every lady, it’s easy to achieve with your own hands, you just need to attach a small console, and also hang a small mirror in a beautiful frame, you need to complete the work by painting so that everything is in the same style);
• a table top or a beautiful dressing table (old wooden doors have a very attractive structure; to make a table, just fasten the canvas to the furniture legs; it is better to lay tempered glass on top);
• hanger in the hallway (to decorate the interior in the hallway, you can attach several coat hooks to the old interior door leaf and place a bedside table).

Important! It is better to remove glass elements and replace them with wooden panels or fabric inserts. This will make you feel completely safe.

Frames can also look organically in the overall design of the apartment. They make excellent frames for photographs, paintings and other decorations. Some designers suggest using frames for false windows in the interior, for example, when decorating a room in the Provence style.

The frame can also make a beautiful and practical tabletop on a dressing table. In this case, it is better to replace ordinary glass with tempered glass to ensure the safety of household members.

Where to repurpose old pens?

Door handles are an integral attribute of any apartment. When removing old doors, the handles are often left out of use. But designers advise not to put them aside. They can be successfully used as decorative elements.

Handles can be used to decorate hangers in the hallway. For each family member, you can come up with a strictly individual hook for a bag and various small items. You can also design a chest of drawers in an original way with different types of handles. They look very unusual and attractive.

Using old, but good-quality things in interior decoration is a good way to save on renovations, but at the same time get an exclusive decoration of the room. You can come up with your own ways to use outdated frames and leaves of interior doors or be inspired by the ideas of famous designers.
