15 Creative Upcycled Door DIY Projects

Here are some tips to help you get the most form your old door:

  • Leave the old paint. Depending on the door that you have, you may have very little that you need to do to it to repurpose it into your dream item! Consider leaving the distressed paint on antique doors.
  • Leave the old details. Work with the grooves and molding on cupboard doors. Sometimes it’s better to work with the inherent details of an upcycle item than to try to sand them all away. It can make your project easier and give the final result more charm!
  • Check for lead-based paint. If you believe your antique door was painted with lead-based paint, be sure to dispose of it and keep your family safe. Lead paint wasn’t banned until 1978 in the US, so if your door is from an older source, be careful.
