We take out the glass, and in its place (perpendicular to the canvas) we place wooden shelves, cut to size. We attach the shelves with corners or hang them on chains. The depth of the shelves depends on the position of the rack. If it is inclined relative to the wall, the depth of the shelves gradually decreases from bottom to top.

If you prefer maximum capacity, make the shelves the same depth, and align the rack at the level of the wall. In this case, it is necessary to attach the back side of the shelves to the wall (for stability). However, if you have small children or pets, it is better to attach any shelving structure to the wall.

Also, to increase the reliability of the design, the rack can be equipped with a drawer at the base, or with a shelf on legs or wide legs, they will hold the massive canvas well.

If appearance you are satisfied, you can only clean the wood and remove excess fittings. The charm of old wooden doors- in their retro appearance with traces of time.

Step 2. After the appearance of the countertop door has been perfected, attach it to the base.

If you are doing home renovations, you will probably find interesting material for reuse.

Step 3. If the surface of the door is uneven, with carvings and patterns, then it makes sense to lay a tabletop made of tempered glass or transparent acrylic (plexiglass) on top of the door for ease of use of the table. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain cleanliness and wipe off dust.

Reusing old things in the interior is always an opportunity to show creativity and inventiveness. Sometimes remade things fit so harmoniously with new role, that it is difficult to imagine that they were once used differently. Today we will talk about the new life of old doors. Not iron entrance ones, but wooden interior ones. Believe me, they have a chance to bring charm to interiors different styles: Provence, shabby chic, rustic and even eclectic. So, we present to you 10 ideas on how doors can be used for other purposes.

Headboard by the bed

We have already told you more than once what types of beds there are and even made a thematic selection - . You can use doors in a bedroom interior in different ways, and almost always it looks unusual and interesting. May Morpheus come to you through them with good dreams.

Mirror frame

Mirror in full height- this is what a door can become with skillful alteration. Mirrors generally love antique “baguettes” made of window frames and door outlines.

Workplace

By combining the door with a console or table, you can get a stylish work area or a women's table. In order for such a design to look harmonious, you should make sure that the door and table are the same color.

Coffee table

One of the most obvious ways to use the flat surface of a door is to turn it into a countertop. In general, the table does not have to be a coffee table. Dining area may well be based on homemade table. Imagine how stylish such a table will look if you paint it with bright paint and make it the main accent in the kitchen.

Rack

A rack for books and small items will serve you faithfully if you provide the door with stable supports. Reliability is the basis of this design.

Corner shelving

The most difficult option from our selection, but almost indistinguishable from finished furniture. It is necessary to saw the door almost in half (one side should be longer by the size of the thickness of the door, since the shorter one is attached to the long half, and then it turns out that the lengths of the side surfaces are the same). And then you need to cut out triangular shelves from wood and attach them. Classic version for corners in the hallway. On such racks, as a rule, all small things that are needed before leaving are stored: glasses, keys, change.

Wall decor

This is where there is freedom for creativity! Some people hang doors horizontally, others turn them into a huge photo frame, others use doors as reminders above their desk. What people don’t come up with! The main thing is to make sure that the door hangs securely and that it won't fall on anyone's head or toes.

Screen

The screen is very... It can be a headboard for a bed, divide space, disguise unnecessary things (clutter, a hole or the absence of a piece of wallpaper on the wall), serve slate board(if you paint it with appropriate paint) and simply be an interior decoration. Consider connecting several doors (preferably narrow ones, of course) and see how unusual this design looks!

Organizer

For such option will do rather a door to a dressing room, which is often made with slits. However, you can add shelves or hooks to an ordinary door and store umbrellas, tools, wide-brimmed hats, and whatever your heart desires on it.

Bench in the hallway

My favorite option from the entire selection. Surprisingly, this design is found very often on foreign sites. This DIY hallway shelving unit may or may not have seating, provide extra storage, and generally not take up too much of your precious space.
