Statement walls can add visual interest without high cost, but layouts with many doors can limit available wall space. A DIYer used a door as the design element to create an accent effect. The original hollow builder-grade door was too plain for a bright, earthy, eclectic room with built-in features and cheetah print wallpaper. Hardboard was applied to the door face, cut into strips, and arranged using painter’s tape for layout. Strips were cut to matching angles with a miter saw and nailed in place with a pin nailer. The process required careful, piece-by-piece cutting and fitting for a clean finish.
"Statement walls - made with photo galleries, accent paint colors, and more - can add a lot of interest to your home for not a lot of money. But sometimes they can be trickier to pull off than they might seem - especially if the layout of your home is working against you."
""I wanted to do an accent wall, but with no space, I turned to design my door," she says. "This is the only door in this space, so it was a good candidate to get a makeover.""
""I felt like there was a lot of opportunity, as doors can be an overlooked design element," Hana says. "This space is such a great mix of bright and earthy with the built-in, but also fun and funky with the cheetah print wallpaper. I wanted to make the door a design element as well!""
""The process can be tedious, but because you want every piece to fit together, I cut one piece at a time and nailed it before cutting the next piece," Hana says. "It will give you the perfect finish.""
