Using Bifold Closet Doors as Part of Your Decor
If you have Bifold closet doors in your home's bedrooms than you are probably aware of how much of a wall they can take up. While they are absolutely great options for your home and budget, they do present a challenge when it comes to decorating a bedroom. Still, there should be no stressing over this particular matter since it is a simple and easy fix.
First of all, consider the closet doors as they are. How old are they? Are they still functioning properly as they should? Maybe it is time to replace the hinges or other hardware, or perhaps even time to replace the Bifold closet doors themselves. It depends on their condition. New ones will immediately bring into the room a fresh feeling, adding to the atmosphere you are trying to create in the room. And there are many great options to choose from if you are considering buying new.
If, however, the doors are in pretty good shape and still performing as they should, then think about sprucing them up a bit. There is a simple way to do this which will also save you money. Paint them! Another really great look is to glaze them. And, of course you can do both. Glazing is a bit more difficult, so if you are hesitant to try it, then no worries. You can always try that a different time. Painting on its own looks fabulous. Choose a color that is at least a semi gloss or high gloss. This will give it a really smooth and finished look. Also, consider replacing the knobs and hardware with a newer, better look.
Simply by changing the look of the Bifold closet doors, you can create a new and improved look of the whole room. Look around on the web for more ideas. More often than not the way to changing the look of any room is not with money but with a little bit of work. Once you have decided just how you want to go about changing the look, then choose a weekend which you will be free to work on it and have it all finished. Then you can move on to the next room another weekend. Good luck!
