Adding decorative trim to bi-fold doors to turn them into something more custom is nothing new (we used inspiration from Room for Tuesday and DIY Playbook, and Project Palermo recently turned her doors inside out to do the same!), and we were determined to make this work for the closet in our Scary Room, too. It’s a great solution to create a higher end look from an everyday item! As much as we wold have preferred a set of side-by-side swinging doors, space is limited in this already narrow room, and we want to have full access to the contents of the closet. The trick with ours is that we wanted the doors to mimic the look of our extra-deep RTA cabinets installed above, and a closer look at the cabinet doors had us realizing that we could, fingers crossed, easily replicate this look with the use of 1″ x 3″s and decorative molding. Luckily, we found a near identical match for the detail trim at this Chicagoland lumber supplier, and we got to work, hoping and wishing that we really could make a pair of bi-fold doors look, well, nice! Fancy, even. SUPPLIES + TOOLS USED
