5 DIY Projects from Old Wooden Doors

You have finished the renovation process and are very happy with the result. However, you are left with many things that you replaced and don't know what to do with them. Your first thought is to throw them away. Doors are among the first things you change when renovating and are probably the first things you want to get rid of considering their volume.

Don't throw them away yet; here's what we propose: 5 DIY projects from old wooden doors that will save you money and bring originality to your decor.

Depending on the degree of degradation of the door, you need to recondition it so that the project turns out as you wish. If you have chosen to go for a vintage style, then the slightly chipped paint could even be an advantage for your project.

From old wooden doors you can create an original coat rack for the hallway of your house; if you live in a small space, such an object will be both practical and aesthetic. Add two drawers to the lower part for extra storage space. Simplify the project even more if you only use part of the door to create a coat rack just for clothes or towels for the bathroom.

Fix the wooden part and add handles that you can buy from DIY stores.

With a little creativity, from the old door you can create a headboard; paint it so that it matches the decor of the bedroom and here's how you have cheaply and quickly solved the problem of replacing the bed.

Paint the door with chalkboard paint and make your child happy. You can also cut the door if it is too large to fit into the wall or take up too much space in the room. They will be able to draw whenever they want. And you can benefit from this project as well. Fix the door across the width in the area where you have your office and create your own schedule and important things from your agenda.

You will no longer forget about scheduling a doctor's appointment or paying your internet bill.

Don't know how to decorate the corner of the room? Nothing simpler. Use two old wooden doors and you've solved the problem. We know it sounds strange but the result is fantastic. For this project you will need a carpenter to cut the door into equal parts; you will also need to add two or three shelves to complete the new piece of furniture created. Apply a paint complementary to the color on the wall.

If the wall is white, you can use orange to create an accent area in the room.
