2. Headboards for your room
Another great idea to recycle old wooden doors is to use them as bed headboards. We already know that unique headboards are fashionable. Now you can also use old wooden doors as a headboard and get a room with an original point. In addition, if they are decorated doors or with some special detail even better because they will give a very vintage look to your bedroom. Beautiful!
If it is normal doors without any charm, you can always give a finish that makes them special, like pickling in a nice color or make a small drawing with stencil technique. A simple idea but with a spectacular result for both single beds and double beds. That can give a chic touch to that guest room that you resist. An option to take into account when redecorating at home, don’t you think?
3. A very original table
It is one of the best ideas to recycle wooden doors. The idea is very simple, you just have to add some legs to have a great table in which to extend the gatherings after a family meal or with friends and in which the table will become the main protagonist. Leave it in its original state or give it a coat of some beautiful color and you will have the perfect piece that you lacked for your dreamed dining room.

If you are one of those, who never have enough shelves at home, now you can have a different shelf that all your visitors will admire. And a door can become that shelf you needed for the books you still keep inside a box or lost in any corner. There is never enough storage at home. If it is as original as this one you will always find something to store in! It is only necessary to add some shelves and you already have a unique shelf.
5. A very personal mirror
I am not much of mirrors at home but I have to admit that these have conquered me, perhaps because they are not typical mirrors that you can see anywhere. But if you convert your old door into a mirror it will undoubtedly be a unique and special piece. Surely you will find a perfect place either in the living room, in the hall or in one of the rooms of the house. What do you think about it? Depending on the type of door, the result of the mirror will be very different but I wouldn’t know which one to stay with … I like them all!

Surely you’ve seen them in more than one magazine and perhaps in a hotel or restaurant you’ve visited. Barn style doors are fashionable. Apart from they are looking very practica,l they are really decorative. Now you can recycle wooden doors that you no longer need. The result is so beautiful that we are looking forward to putting it into practice, you too?
7. Picture frames
Do you want to create an ideal frame for your family photos and don’t know how? Well, an old door can be the solution for them to shine in. Also with an original and very chic touch that will surely triumph. If you put some hangers and put it at the entrance of the house, it can do the function of a rack.
