An easy way to restore your old door – DIY!
The DIY formula (short for do it yourself) is gaining popularity in the era of grassroots ecological movements and the trend of being "zero waste". Instead of throwing away old things, let's give them new life by refreshing them ourselves. This practice can relate to many areas of our lives, from an old bicycle to worn-out shoes. However, in today's article we will present an easy way to restore a door. A much lower cost, both financial and measured in terms of global exploitation of our planet, will be to refresh the current door than to buy a completely new one. In addition, it's very simple and each of us can quickly change our existing decor!
What do you need to do? New-old doors – step by step!
We decided to write our idea for an old door, step by step. Here it is:
1. At the beginning, we need to carefully measure our door in order to know its height and width.
2. Then, we choose a door sticker in the right size and with a theme that we like and that suits our interior the most.
3. Next, we should thoroughly clean our old door. For this purpose, we will definitely need a wet cloth and a proper cleaning agent (remember that a different agent will be used for wooden doors, and a different one for metal ones). In this way, we will prepare our door as a base for a new nicer layer. Lastly, make sure that the door is wiped dry.
4. And finally, carefully place the chosen sticker on the door – we suggest starting to stick it from the top. It's important not to accidentally create unwanted folds.
5. And done! Isn't that easy? You can enjoy the completely new look of your old door. And certainly, this metamorphosis has not only benefited it, but also the whole room to which it leads!
Refresh the old door in every room!
It's a practical and reliable way to quickly refresh the appearance of your door and the entire interior. You can successfully use this solution in different rooms: in a child's room, hallway, bathroom, office or even the door in a pub. So, it's a fast and convenient idea for an old door, both at home and at work. Moreover, the door stickers have a really smooth surface, which is why they are extremely easy to clean.
In addition, if you get bored of your new door after a while, you will be able to restore it just as easily. Just peel off the old sticker and replace it with a new one! Is there a faster way to renew our interior design so radically?
Depending on your previous design and your personal taste, you can choose your favourite decorative theme: from coffee and fruit ideal for the kitchen, through teddy bears dedicated to the child's room, to universal geometric patterns that really suit any type of interior! The only thing that limits you is your imagination and the number of doors you can cover!
