Transform Ordinary Sliding Doors Into A Work Of Art With This Affordable DIY
Sliding glass doors let in the light to help illuminate a living space, but they aren't exactly the most exciting home design feature. Wouldn't it be nice if you could add eye-catching detailing to the doors without harming the glass or spending thousands on a pricey upgrade? This is actually easier to accomplish than you might think. All you have to do is create a grid on your window using a product like the New Panes Insta-Panes and fill them in with the DOOCKIN Colorful Transparent Window Film. This transforms ordinary sliding glass doors into a work of art that resembles stained glass. The window film will also make it a bit trickier for passersby to peek into your home through your sliding glass doors.
The DIY transformation is simple enough for a beginner to pull off, and it should also be pretty easy to elevate the look by adding other self-adhesive detailing onto some panels. When you are done, you get to enjoy a gorgeous, colorful display of natural light seeping into your home through your newly decorated sliding glass door. You might even be inspired to recreate the look on some of the windows inside of your living space too.
Create a stained glass look in just a few steps
To create this look on your sliding glass door, start out by cleaning and drying the glass thoroughly. Next, install your New Panes Insta-Panes according to the instructions that come with the product. If the Insta-Panes are out of your price range, you can purchase the Kweetle Window Grille Inserts for only $12.99 and install them instead to achieve the same look. Just take measurements of the length and width of your door's glass and cut the material into strips of the proper size to create your own grid. Peel the protective material off of the back of the strips and stick them onto the glass.
When you are done, measure the spaces within your window grid and cut your colorful transparent window film to the appropriate sizes. Smooth them onto your door's glass with a tool like the Arayker Store Vinyl Wrap Squeegee. To create a one-of-a-kind sliding glass door covering, consider leaving some panels for other window decor, like the YUOROS Window Decals. Alternatively, adding some of the Rabbitgoo Rainbow Film in between some of the colorful panels would also produce a stunning design. Feel free to use any remaining material to decorate windows throughout your home.
