Training

Before you start decorating, you need to prepare for this process:

• Remove the door from the hinges.
• Lay on a flat surface.
• Unscrew the knobs and other fittings.
• Then, using a spatula, it is necessary to remove the old paint, which exfoliates and does not hold well.

• If it is glazed, the old glass can be changed or simply washed well.

After the preparatory work, you can begin the main process - the decor. Next will be the most popular and effective decor options.

Painting

Самый простой декор – перекрашивание в новый цвет (см. Painting межкомнатных дверей ). Для этого надо подобрать краску, которая будет сочетаться по цветовой гамме с обоями и мебелью.

You can paint the sides of the door in different colors:

• First choose paint (see Paint for doors: choose and make painting).
• The main paint coat is applied on the door. Tassel can tint protrusions and depressions.

Tip: to distribute the paint evenly over the surface, take a paint roller instead of a brush.

• Now we must wait until the paint dries.
• Next, apply a second coat of paint.
• During painting, apply a picture or abstraction  - the decor will become more attractive and unusual. To do this, cut a drawing out of the masking tape and attach it before painting to the surface.

Pasting film

Recently, many have begun to apply self-adhesive film (see. Door decoration with self-adhesive film will always update the design). This type of decor is relatively cheap and does not present much difficulty, and the appearance will be much more attractive. You can choose a film of any color and pattern, it is easy to stick, and later to tear off and replace with another.

• The surface should be sanded with sandpaper.
• Then the film is stuck.

Please note that when laying the film it should be smoothed with a spatula to remove wrinkles and air bubbles.

• When pasting edges and ends, it is necessary to ensure that the film is not warped at the folds. At the end it is glued overlap.

Wallpapering

Now let's talk about how to decorate using photo wallpaper. Such decoration also does not require large cash costs and a lot of time.

Tip: when sticking wallpaper, it is better to smooth it with a napkin or a soft cloth, so as not to tear them, from the center to the edges.

• After the glue is completely dry, it is varnished. If you do not open it with varnish, the wallpaper will quickly lose its original look and wear out.

Fabric finish

Do-it-yourself fabric decoration is an unusual, beautiful and effective method of decor that perfectly enlivens the room, and it is not difficult to make it (see Interior door design). First you need to prepare the fabric, preferably bright and multicolored.

1. Glue double-sided tape is glued around the perimeter.
2. The size of the fabric cut a piece of cloth.
3. The cut is glued to the tape. Make sure that the fabric does not have folds.

Such decor perfectly will be suitable for a nursery and for a bedroom.

2. Then the glass is well moistened with water.
3. Then wipe dry with a lint-free cloth.
