The interior door occupies an important place in the interior of the room. It serves not only as an obstacle to noise, delimits space and allows privacy, but is also a noticeable decor item.

There are several reasons that may motivate you to decorate the interior door:

1. Firstly, despite the huge selection of ready-made (and very attractive) doors, it is sometimes very difficult to find the right model. Sometimes all the doors seem to be the same - "I've already seen this one at the neighbors'", "and this one looks like the door to our office." You don't want to repeat and acquire something unoriginal and has become banal, because your interior is unique, so the door must match.
2. Secondly, even an old door with scratches, peeling paint and irreducible stains is not known from what you often do not want to change! After all, any replacement of the door is also the replacement of the box itself, which is associated with dust, plaster, sealing the resulting cracks, the need to change the wallpaper (at least around new door) - in general, with local and sometimes overhaul.

That is why sometimes it is much easier for the owner to update already installed door“On the spot,” that is, without changing the whole box, right here in the room. Of course, in some cases, you still have to remove the door from the hinges, but this is much easier and faster than starting a full-fledged repair. Whatever the reasons that prompted you to start decorating the interior door, we will say right away that often you do not need practically anything for this, except for the materials left over from the last repair.

So, we offer you 14 ideas for decorating an interior door that you might want to bring to life by decorating your interior.

The first idea. We paint, we just paint

The easiest way, without frills and unnecessary work, to put the door in order. To do this, you will first need to remove the door from its hinges, then go over it with a spatula, removing old paint, smooth the surface with sandpaper, seal cracks and scratches with putty, remove greasy stains, seal the glass with masking tape so as not to get dirty, and you can take a roller or brush in your hands! It is better to choose acrylic paint - it dries faster, and painting the door in a horizontal position - so the paint will not drain and will lay down more evenly. However, if it is convenient for you to do all of the above on a vertically standing door, you can not remove it from its hinges. Just remember to put something on the floor while painting so as not to stain the linoleum or laminate flooring.

White, plain painted door. Updating it or repainting it in a different color will not be difficult, although moldings and carvings need special, careful handling when sanding and removing a layer of old paint

Second idea. We paint in several colors

The option is more complicated, although it is also associated with staining. In this case, we do not just paint the door in one color, but create a simple or complex geometric pattern from stripes, squares, rhombuses, and so on. The door must first be prepared, as in the first case - that is, cleaned of old paint and level the surface. However, in this case, we will need much more masking tape - it is with its help that you delimit the zones between stripes or rectangles. In addition, in order not to buy several cans of paint of different colors, you can buy white paint (one liter is enough for the door), as well as several dyes with which you can experiment with shades.

Gold and white, blue and pale pink, bright stripes on a neutral background, rhombuses and winding lines - a variety of patterns and color combinations can appear on the canvas of your door

When choosing a geometric pattern, remember that a wide strip along the entire door leaf is more suitable for the country style, and for the classics it is better to choose other options, for example, paint the upper part of the door in a lighter shade and divide the parts with a horizontal strip

Third idea. Selecting moldings

Also the painting of the door, which in general is not too different from the first option. However, in this case, we will focus on the moldings, painting them in a contrasting color. White and black are a great pairing, but already well-worn, so think about which colors would work best together. Designers have long recognized white and green, blue and yellow, red and dark blue as an excellent option. Such a door will look great both in a bohemian boudoir and in a strict classic living room.

The white door with highlighted black moldings is a real classic. By the way, if your door does not have such decorations, it is easy to make them yourself - special wooden thin strips are sold, which are simply nailed to the canvas.

An unexpectedly bright, pink door that looks especially aristocratic and attractive thanks to the white-highlighted frames

The fourth idea. We paint according to the finished stencil

A very convenient and easy way to turn your door into a work of art, even if you do not have the talent of an artist. Ready-made stencils can be purchased in construction and specialized stores, or ordered on one of the sites, and the choice of drawings and patterns is very large. Then we just apply the stencil to the already prepared door and paint it on. Easy, fast and the result is very beautiful!

It is as easy as shelling pears to apply a drawing using a ready-made stencil, and the choice will allow you to choose an original inscription, an exotic pattern, and an unusual picture

Such a deliberately simple drawing can be easily created without stencils. It was the uneven lines and simplicity that became its main highlight.

Fifth idea. Art painting

Unlike all the options for decorating a door already listed, this option is not for everyone. To create a real masterpiece on an ordinary door, you need the talent of an artist and certain skills in working with brushes, since a roller is no longer enough here. Imagine that your door is a blank white canvas, on which, thanks to your skill, a beautiful landscape, a cheerful painting or an exquisite pattern will appear. Thin hand-painted painting always looks expensive and stylish, and you can achieve this effect by spending only on the purchase of paints.

Many European companies offer ready-made interior doors with artistic painting. They are, of course, not cheap, so you can try to create something similar with your own hands. Afraid it won't work? You can always just paint over a bad drawing!

Sixth idea. Children's creativity

Does your kid love to paint? Give him this opportunity - let him decorate the door to the children's room. Yes, such a naive, bright drawing would be out of place in a strict living room, but as a decoration for a children's room it is a great option. Just agree with the young artist that the second half of the door is already your field for the embodiment of fantasies!

Usually, children's paints can be washed off very easily, so your aspiring artist can paint the door again every day. But you will have to pre-prepare the canvas, putting the door in order.

The seventh idea. Unusual texture with paint

If you think that just applying paint is boring, and you are afraid to take up hand-painting, you can try to achieve an unusual texture, for example, the effect of a wooden surface or an antique door using a very simple fixtures... So, using a sponge, you can get a spotty surface, steel wool will help to achieve the effect of an old door, a hard brush - to create an expressive surface of denim. Special ready-made paints are also sold, perfectly imitating jeans, wood, canvas, velvet or slate board.

On such a door, painted to resemble a slate board, it is convenient to leave messages to household members

Eighth idea. Wallpaper

If all the previous ideas concerned only working with paints and brushes, then this method is suitable for those who do not want to mess with paint. Photo wallpaper will instantly transform the appearance of your interior door, turning it into bright element design. Of course, it is best to purchase wallpaper designed specifically for doors - in this case, your drawing will definitely look complete. Ready-made wallpaper usually has standard size 86x220 centimeters, therefore, they are suitable only for standard doors, and without moldings and glass inserts. However, now many online stores offer custom-made door murals, so you can choose the option that is ideal for your door, with any pattern. You can trim doors and regular wall murals to fit, but this may make the drawing look unfinished.

How do you like this unusual option- a door that has been turned into a telephone booth with the help of photomurals?

Before gluing the wallpaper, the door must be cleaned of stains, and the surface must be leveled, sanded and degreased with a solvent. You can use regular wallpaper glue, but PVA is much more reliable. The disadvantages of this option for decorating the door include the fact that a bright image will immediately catch the eye, so it can quickly get bored. In addition, photowall-paper on the door, due to frequent touches, will lose its original attractiveness. However, no one will prevent you from changing the wallpaper on the door to something more original in a couple of months.

Photo wallpapers with picturesque landscapes are especially popular.

Wall murals on the door will help to make small room visually more. And it is very easy to stick them on, for this you don't even need to remove the door from its hinges.

Ninth idea. Regular wallpaper

Previously, this decor option was very popular, but now many designers consider it bad manners. It does not bother plain wallpaper, "Migrated" to the door, remain a popular way to decorate the interior. Alternatively, you can buy cork wallpaper and varnish it on top for reliability. Their unusual texture will make the door more original.

Preparing the door is exactly the same as in the case of using photo wallpaper. The main advantage is cheapness, since you can use wallpaper left over from a previous repair, and ease of decoration. The main disadvantage is quick wear - wallpaper can peel off and tear at the joints.

Wallpaper glued not on the entire door, but on the parts highlighted by moldings, look more spectacular

The door, covered with the same wallpaper as the walls, will literally merge with the interior. On the reverse side, the door, of course, is pasted over with other wallpaper, so as not to stand out against the background of the wall of another room.

Idea ten. Fabric instead of wallpaper

This option will look especially cute and home-like. The door decorated with fabric looks original, the choice of fabrics is surprisingly wide today, but this method also has its drawbacks.

If you choose a single piece of fabric to decorate the door, you should take care of the original drawing.

First, when choosing a fabric, you should make sure that the glue does not stain it. Secondly, the edges of the fabric must be pre-processed, otherwise the protruding threads will not look very aesthetically pleasing. Thirdly, fabric-decorated doors are not suitable for every style of interior design. Those who are fond of patchwork, that is, creating canvases from different pieces of fabric, can turn their door into a real applique made of bright patches. By the way, if there is room for a glass insert on the door, you can hang a small curtain here, fixing it on a fishing line and small nails.

Very nice door, decorated with patchwork technology. The trouble is that such bright patches have nothing to do with the classic style of the interior, this is an option, rather, for a "rustic" and colorful country

The eleventh idea. Posters, cards, paper

Option for creative people and a great idea for a teen's room. The door can be decorated with a poster and a picture of your favorite artist or band, sheets from an old geographic atlas or sheet music. Sticking on these paper sheets and posters is as easy as using regular wallpaper.

An old geographic map will be appropriate even on the interior door of an ordinary living room, but it is better to "lodge" posters in a teenager's room

Idea twelfth. All kinds of stickers

This simple and not too expensive way to decorate a door is becoming more and more popular today. Vinyl decals can be purchased online, model size cost standard door starts from 2.5 thousand rubles, they are glued very easily, and they will last longer than ordinary photo wallpapers.

Stickers with such funny and at the same time useful inscriptions will not only decorate the doors, but also cheer up the guests.

If you do not want to hide the entire door behind the stickers, it is quite possible to purchase small images - a butterfly, a bright flower, and so on. They are cheaper, and the outer appearance of the door will be completely transformed. Also popular are "informative" stickers, for example, on the door of an office, bathroom or toilet, which will tell guests what is hidden behind this door.

The elegant lady on this sticker will immediately inform the guests of the house that it is this door that hides the bathroom.

Often, the stickers can look like ordinary photo wallpaper, and sometimes like hand-painted on a white door or a child's drawing.

Thirteenth idea. Decoupage

The technology of scrupulous cutting out of the vending images from paper and further composing applications from these pieces allows you to transform not only a casket or photo album cover, but also an ordinary door. Everything that a novice master of the ancient art of decoupage will need: paper drawings, napkins with a pattern you like, postcards and the like - everything from which you can cut a picture, a brush, PVA glue, scissors, glitter, acrylic varnish, contour and acrylic paint.

In the decoupage process, you can use literally anything - from scraps of old newspapers to greeting cards.

In a brief description, the process looks like this: apply a layer of white acrylic paint to the door surface, wait for it to dry, then another layer - and wait again until it is completely dry. Then we apply a layer of paint of the selected shade, and then we attach the cut paper drawings with PVA glue. At the same time, we try to glue the piece as evenly as possible, without folds and expel all air bubbles. With the help of glitter and contour, we can draw dots, stripes and others small parts... Then we cover the finished painting with a layer of varnish. That's all. The rest is your imagination and beautifully selected drawings.

The decoupage technique allows you to create amazingly beautiful paintings, and the varnish coating will extend the life of the decor.

Idea fourteen. Mosaic

A door decorated with bright mosaics will be an excellent option for a bathroom; you can also decorate a metal entrance door in this way. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to use pieces of ceramics for these purposes - in this case, the door may turn out to be too heavy. Mosaics can be created from pieces of wood or veneer, or purchased ready-made made of glass.

In this case, a bright glass mosaic takes up most of the door, making it very unusual and cheerful.

The mosaic is fastened with special glue ("Moment" or liquid nails are suitable) on the prepared and cleaned surface. It is worthwhile to think over all the details of the pattern in advance by drawing a diagram of the arrangement of the pieces with a pencil. By the way, you can decorate with a mosaic not only the door itself, but also the box, highlighting the slopes using the selected pattern.

Creating a mosaic pattern is a huge scope for creativity. And if some part still falls, you can always attach it back

An old door can become a real art object, just a little imagination and effort is enough. To begin with, you can use one of the simplest ideas, and then, getting a taste, try yourself in the art of decoupage or painting. In any case, your door will definitely be one of a kind!

Doors play an important role in interior design. There are many in stores different models, but high-quality ones cost a lot of money, and you usually don't want to look at cheap ones. There is a good option - to update the old doors with your own hands. There are many techniques, and not the most difficult ones, that allow you to fix the situation for little money.

Preparation

Whichever method you choose to update the old interior door, you will need to carry out a row preparatory work... Usually old painted specimens are going to decorate. Painting is usually amateur, so there are more than enough irregularities, sagging and other small defects. All of them need to be aligned.

We remove the door leaf from the hinges, put it on a flat surface. You can - on the trestle or table. We take putty on wood (even if they are from or) and we cover all holes, chips and depressions with it. After drying, proceed to the next stage - grinding.

We take sandpaper with a coarse grain and a fine one. We process, achieving a flat surface. If you work by hand, it takes a lot of time and effort. With a hand sander, work moves faster. If further painting is planned, we try to achieve the most even surface. If you plan to decorate with wallpaper, fabric, self-adhesive film, you may not bring it to the ideal, but it should be exactly.

Next, remove the dust, wash off the remnants with water and diluted dishwashing detergent. We dry it. Further actions depend on the selected update method. If you are going to glue fabric or wallpaper of any kind, you can prime the surface (with liquid diluted glue or a special primer). After the primer has dried, you can glue the chosen type of decor or apply paint. By the way, if you are going to paint the doors, the paint must be of the same type, which was before, otherwise you will have to remove everything to a clean base, and this is very difficult.

Refresh old doors with wallpaper

The simplest and affordable way make old doors attractive - use wallpaper. They do not have to be in tune with the walls, although this option is not excluded. First, we prepare the canvas as described above, and then you can start finishing.

The procedure for wallpapering doors is as follows:

Wallpaper

Modern photo printing allows you to transfer volumetric images to paper. It will turn out very nicely. And you can print any image of your choice. In general, any. Usually advertising agencies are involved in photo printing, sometimes printing houses. Go there, explaining what you need (have a USB flash drive with the selected pattern and the exact dimensions of the canvas on which you want to print the image). Having received the required image, we glue it on the door according to the method. described above.

Wallpaper with moldings

If you stick foam or foam on plain wallpaper polyurethane moldings, sockets, the style will change completely. Doors of this type are suitable for classic interiors or rooms; when using a colorful background and another form of moldings (with rounding), they can be decorated in the Provence style.

The work is no different from the sequence described above. We take the prepared doors with a leveled surface, spread it with glue, glue the wallpaper.

It is not difficult to achieve good results by leveling the panels with a rubber roller, but a certain amount of small air bubbles remains. To remove them, they take a special plastic spatula (they are in any hardware store), and they are finally removed from the center to the edges. Also, this spatula is used to iron the wallpaper joint, if any. It is quite possible to achieve the fact that the joint will not be visible.

Cut the edges of the wallpaper with a wallpaper knife. This should be done until the wallpaper has softened from the glue, otherwise they can then "reach" for the blade and break. We leave to dry. After 12 hours or in a day - depending on the temperature and humidity in the room - you can continue decorating the old door.

Neatly, simple pencil we apply the markup. When everything is drawn, measure the required length of the pieces of molding with a tape measure. Cut off, saw the edges at an angle of 45 °. We take a suitable glue (PVA can be used) and carefully spread the back surface of the cut elements, glue them according to the markings, and leave to dry.

By the same principle, you can update old doors so that the style will be different. Several examples in the photo gallery.

Designer decoration of old doors

If you are interested in design things, you can try turning it into an art object. Good news the fact that it is not necessary to cook it: irregularities and sagging will disappear under the design.

The decorating process begins with the manufacture of papier-mâché. Take the egg trays, sprinkle with water, knead with your fist, trying to level the surface. In the process, they will tear, this is normal and even good - we need small pieces. These almost flat fragments, on liquid nails or with glue gun, glue to the surface in random order.

Lids, rings, a small perfume bottle, a small non-working computer mouse, the remains of a mosaic, everything that comes to hand are used. There will be a lot of trash, you can collect it ahead of time.

When most of the surface is "decorated", we take acrylic silver paint in spray cans (2 pieces are needed) and paint over the decor well. When choosing a paint, it is better to take an expensive one, in particular a German one, so that it does not pour out in sweat.

Decorating doors using decoupage technique

A romantic or "cheerful" door design can be done using decoupage. To work you will need:

• napkins with a suitable pattern;
• PVA glue (about 200 ml);
• natural bristle brush;
• acrylic lacquer.

Preparing the canvas, as described earlier. We prime and paint in a suitable color. After the paint has dried, we start decorating. We take a pack of napkins we liked, separate upper layer which is patterned.

Tear napkins with a pattern lengthwise into three strips. We tear, we do not cut. We want a slightly jagged edge. Two stripes on one side get an even edge, we put them to one side. We break the middle part into squares. The best way, if they are with a side of 3-4 cm.

We take glue, a brush, a small container. In it we mix PVA with water in equal proportions.

Next, we proceed to decorate the door with our own hands. We take a strip with an even edge, apply it to the area to be decorated (in this case, this is the center of the door leaf). Dip the brush in glue, with it we begin to smooth the fragment in different directions. Wrinkles are formed, but this is just not bad - the finish will turn out to be more textured, so it is not particularly necessary to align them. Wet wipes are very delicate and elastic, remember this when working, act carefully.

Gradually make a frame with one smooth edge. The second turns out to be carelessly torn.

Filling in the middle of the "frame"

When the entire surface is filled, we leave it for a day - we wait until the PVA dries. Next, take an acrylic varnish and cover our decor with a soft brush. To prevent it from smelling, we take a water-based varnish. It is a little more expensive, but it doesn't have a headache.

The beauty of decoupage is that we get beautiful things at low cost.

Decorating the door with self-adhesive foil

Perhaps the easiest way is to update old doors with self-adhesive. All you need:

• the film itself,
• a spray bottle containing soap and water;
• plastic spatula or soft rag;
• a sharp knife (wallpaper can be used).

This film is available in different versions - there is a monochromatic matte or glossy, there is a monochromatic one with holographic patterns, wood imitation, there are even special doors for pasting with applied photo printing.

Regardless of the type of film, it is glued in the same way. In this case, they decided to update the old doors using the option with photo printing. One moment: before pasting, we remove handles, latches and other door accessories.

For the decor to be of high quality, the door surface must be clean, even and smooth. If you sanded it before doing this, try gluing on a small piece of film. If it sticks well, everything is fine. If it doesn't "stick", the doors will have to be primed and then painted or varnished to create a smooth surface.

We take a spray bottle and evenly wet the surface of the door.

We shave the film, remove the protective layer from one of the corners, and also spray it. So, wetting, we separate the protective paper from the upper part along the entire width of the film.

You should get a strip 15-20 cm wide. Do not remove any more so that the film does not stick to the canvas. We apply the unsticked part to the upper edge of the door leaf (or the area to be decorated), it quickly sticks. Try to immediately apply it evenly, but the position can be corrected - for this we wetted the surface so that the film could be moved. If you pull it, it moves a little.

After making sure that the canvas lies flat, take a plastic spatula (for wallpaper) and smooth the surface with it, moving from the center to the edges. The task is to remove all the air. Since the surface is wet, it is not difficult - water displaces air.

The rest is simple. We pull down the protective paper, peeling off the strip, glue it and so on - to the very bottom of the door. If you have glued the upper part for a long time, the lower one may dry out, therefore periodically check that the doors are not dry, spray again if necessary.

After the entire film is glued, cut off the excess around the edges with a sharp knife. All that remains after this is to install the fittings.

Door decor with stencils

Old doors can be renovated with applied drawings. The only pity is that not everyone has artistic talents. But in this case, the problem is solved with the help of stencils. You can draw them yourself, or you can find the image you like, print it on thick paper, with a sharp knife, cut out the pattern, leaving the jumpers in places. So the stencil is ready.

The disadvantage of a paper stencil is that it does not last long. If you need a "long-playing", you need to transfer it to a transparent dense film. In more detail, the technology for cutting a stencil for door decoration is shown in the video.

The drawing can be anything. Both geometric and floral, stylized images of animals, birds, cartoon characters are popular.

Interior doors act not only as functional elements of the furnishings, separating and isolating rooms from each other, but also are an important decorative component of the interior. One of the possibilities to diversify the environment without resorting to expensive repairs is original design and door decor.

Thanks to such simple solution the interior will acquire individuality, which is quite difficult to achieve with ready-made store solutions.

Often the reason for decorating doors is negative changes in their appearance due to operation, when the door leaf is covered with scratches, cracks, chips and other defects. At the same time, the door itself works as it should: it closes and opens perfectly, does not jam and does not creak. It is a pity to change it, and it is not necessary. There are many simple and effective techniques, allowing you to quickly and inexpensively reanimate old doors, giving them a second life. Let's talk about this.

In different styles

Doors are an important style-forming element of the interior. Most likely, one of the purchasing criteria was their style. For the same reason, when planning to decorate doors, immediately decide on the style component of the future design. Consider the popular style directions:

• Classic style. The adjusted proportions of doors inherent in ancient Roman and ancient Greek classicism, as well as the luxurious artsy decor of paintings, characteristic of palace styles, and the simplest design in neoclassical trends are considered classics. Due to their massiveness, authentic classic doors are usually associated with interiors country houses... In reality, they often decorate a variety of apartments, in line with the owners' idea of ​​comfort. You can update their appearance different ways.

So, the design of paneled interior doors is distinguished by the presence of a visible wooden frame, which performs the load-bearing function and curly inserts - panels. They can be glass or made of sheet materials- MDF / chipboard or plywood. Relief elements can be interestingly played with mirror mosaics, and glass surfaces can be painted with acrylics.

• Minimalism and hi-tech. Among the most sought-after style directions, the leadership belongs to high-tech and minimalist designs. They are characterized by impersonality, inconspicuousness, versatility, thoughtfulness and convenience. Combine with furnishings in any modern design and do not make claims to the most daring artistic experiments of the owners.

Having a tendency to frequently change the space, but without radical transformations, you can simply limit yourself to changing the color of the doors.

• Provence. The design in the style of gentle pastoral French country, like the scandi design, gravitates towards a light palette of shades. Therefore, in such houses and apartments, white doors are often met. You can transform their appearance with patinated finishes. Known different ways creating a fashionable semi-antique plaque from simple patination to the use of gold, silver and bronze and complex surface treatment technology with obtaining two effects - patina + craquelure. The last two coating methods are quite difficult to reproduce at home, but the first option can be mastered by anyone.

• Vintage. The vintage direction echoes the French country. However, vintage interiors are distinguished not by cozy lightness, but by well-groomed old-fashioned or even artificial "aged". The versatility of vintage doors allows them to fit into living spaces of any size, including open-plan spaces.

Decoupage technique is a great way to update door designs.

• Loft. The popular brutal design in the attic style allows you to use door designs in any design, but ideal solution door structures remain for such interiors sliding type... They can be used to divide large studio spaces by performing zoning. In this case, it is worthwhile to decorate the doorways in an original way.

The main thing here is to decide on the shape of the opening: in the form of a rectangle, an arch - round, ellipsoidal, trapezoidal, asymmetric or imitation of an arch with openwork corners.

The most popular materials include PVC panels, polyurethane stucco moldings, artificial decorative stone and clinker - these are bricks. The design of the opening looks most impressive, where the bricks are laid out by analogy with masonry. Since it is not necessary to clearly draw lines, everyone can implement this task without the involvement of specialists.

Purpose of premises

Consider that door decor is suitable exclusively interior structures, not right. It is no less interesting to decorate the door of the pantry, utilitarian rooms and the entrance to the hallway. When choosing a design, they start from the style orientation of the interior. It is important that the doors in the room are in harmony with the existing furnishings, and the entrance metal door does not contradict the interior design of the corridor. In addition, the dimensions of the room are taken into account, since some types finishing materials able to visually change the proportions of space, and not always for the better. We'll talk about this a little later.

DIY patterns

The most uncomplicated and easy-to-execute option decorative finishing doors is staining. You can make them monochromatic or decorate them in different colors, if you wish, also create interesting patterns.

Emphasize the volume of the protrusions and the originality of the design decorative overlays on embossed door leaves, paints with interesting effects like metal, leather or marble will help.

Color nuances

Regardless of the method chosen, the doors are removed and placed in a horizontal position - it is more convenient to work with the paint and it will lie more evenly, without forming ugly smudges. Preparation involves cleaning the surface from old paint, sanding and priming. Glass inserts are pasted over with masking tape. With a simple painting of a canvas in one tone, everything is clear.

But when several colors are used, they first paint the background areas, letting them dry, after which they begin to design decorative elements and moldings with contrasting shades. To create a simple geometric pattern - striped, diamond-shaped, combined with masking tape, the desired areas are delimited, and then painted over.

Decorating doors with more complex floral or fantasy patterns involves the use of stencils.

Features of painting with acrylic

Glass painting is performed using acrylic paints. Since a stained-glass window is created, then without stencils and decorative mastic to form a contour with an imitation metal frame not enough. To decorate the glass surface with stained glass paints, the canvas must be placed in a horizontal position. You can use ready-made stencils or your own production.

How to decorate?

The following several methods are suitable for updating old doors in cases where you have to deal not with a couple of scratches, which are easily masked with butterfly stickers, but with an orderly worn canvas. That is, it already needs global transformations.

Decoupage

The decoupage technique allows you to create unique stylish vintage pieces. Various household items are decorated with original themes, using cut paper pictures, napkins, decoupage cards, and fabric. Although you can decorate any surface: glass, leather, plastic, plywood, but it is on wood that decoupage trim looks most impressive.

To decorate a door:

• The surface is prepared - cleaned, sanded and primed with a white / transparent emulsion
• They make blanks from napkins and stick them according to a planned scheme.
• The composition is allowed to dry and varnished in several layers. Before applying each layer of varnish, they are passed over the door leaf with an emery cloth with a zero pad to make it more smooth.

Such doors will organically complement any interior, making it unique and memorable.

Decorative rock

The decor of openings with artificial stone looks most attractive in spacious rooms. With all the advantages of decorative stone, it "eats up" the space. For country house this option is ideal, while in an apartment the implementation of such a door frame will be successful only if the interior is kept in the tendencies of minimalism. That is, the furniture ensemble is formed from the minimum number of furnishings.

This decision is also justified when it is necessary to hide the inaccuracies of finishing. They can be easily hidden by placing a stone around the door block, capturing problem areas.

In terms of aesthetics, this option is one of the most advantageous, because the texture of the stone looks very beautiful. Diversity color solutions allows you to choose an option for any interior.

Wallpaper

If the wallpaper decor option is definitely not suitable for the entrance doors, then to decorate the elements interior space quite. The advantage of this method is efficiency, and the disadvantage is fragility due to the rapid wear of the material itself, which leads to the inevitable loss of its original appearance. Even if you glue the door leaf with washable wallpaper, which is designed for a certain amount of wet treatments, you will still not be able to admire the results of your work for a long time.

So, you can use:

1. Wall wallpaper. If you need the doors to be monochromatic, use wallpaper of one type, and to draw up a complex composition - several. The main thing is to keep the color balance, then the design will turn out to be harmonious.
2. Photo wallpaper. Modern types of photowall-paper please with high quality images, accurate and problem-free joining of canvases with each other. Thanks to special photo wallpapers, the size of which is equal to the standard size of the door structure, and its design does not imply glass inserts and moldings, finishing takes a minimum of time.
3. Liquid wallpaper. With their help, you can interestingly decorate the doors, creating beautiful, unique patterns. The advantages of this method are the originality of the design and the simplicity of pasting doors with standard roll wallpaper, and the disadvantage is that it is absolutely unacceptable for rooms with high humidity- kitchens and bathrooms.

Regardless of the type of wallpaper used, door surface preparation will be required before pasting, which means cleaning old paint, filling cracks, sanding and degreasing the door leaf.

Stencils
