How to Make Bifold Doors More Decorative

Cover the bifold doors with a fresh coat of paint. Make the doors blend in by painting them the same color as the surrounding walls, or pull a color from the room’s bedspread or furniture to make the doors stand out.

Replace the bifold door’s handles with more ornate, decorative pieces. Choose handles that are functional and beautiful to add a minor detail to the room that makes a big difference.

Paint a mural on the bifold doors. Hire a professional muralist to create a whimsical portrait on the doors, or use paints that complement the room’s existing color scheme.

Cover the bifold doors with fabric. Glue or nail individual strips of fabric over the slats, or cover each door with one large fabric panel. Choose a breathable fabric, such as cotton, that allows airflow into the closet.

Hang artwork or family photos on the bifold doors. Use sturdy nails to hang framed art or photographs, or glue the photos in a collage directly onto the doors.
