A Creative Closet Door Idea For Renters With A Taste For Unique Designs

Adding a bold statement to any room, especially when renting, can help make the space feel more like your own. There are many renter-friendly DIY décor tricks to beautify your home, but a closet door DIY is perfect for decorating in the bedroom. You can create a creative closet door to show off your taste in interior design, and it can be easily be removed when its time to move out. All you need is some pole wrap, mounting tape, and paint to get started.

Start by measuring your closet doors to purchase the right amount of pole wrap. If your closet has a sliding door, make sure that you measure the thickness of your pole wrap material to ensure that the closet door will continue to slide easily with the pole wrap attached. A 96-inch by 48-inch sheet of pole wrap from Home Depot costs just under $190, and you may need even more depending on your closet door size. If this project doesn't seem like it will be affordable to you, there is always another option to achieve a similar look. A product such as Livelynine's wood slat peel-and-stick wallpaper will give you the look without the cost. While there are many different colors to choose from, if you use peel-and-stick wallpaper, you won't be able to paint the design any color you want. However, if you don't like the pole wrap look, there are lots of other designs and patterns to choose from!

If you've decided that this DIY perfectly matches your style, it is fairly simple to create. After you purchase your pole wrap, use a box cutter to trim it to the correct size. Then, paint the pole wrap the color of your choice. Creator Kelsey Macdermaid from YouTube channel TheSorryGirls went for a bold red, but you could also choose a more natural and calming color like blue or green. If you love a rustic vibe, skip the paint and leave the pole wrap as is or tint it with a wood stain. Once the pole wrap is dry, attach it to your closet using a few pieces of mounting tape.
