Don't junk the cupboard! Replace the Door! We spend a lot of time decorating our houses to keep them looking fresh and modern.
One area we tend to neglect is fitted cupboards and cabinets we have around the house.
They tend to be ignored because we think we can't do anything with them.
If you rip them out you've got a repair job on the paint or wallpaper not to mention the gap it leaves! It's time to look at it in a different way by considering replacement doors.
We often think about replacement doors for kitchens but what about other rooms? That fitted cupboard that you put the towels in the bathroom or the cupboards in your bedroom can easily be revitalised by simply replacing the doors.
Sometimes we don't even have a cupboard but could really do with one.
It may be that there is an odd space or a difficult angled area that you think you can't turn into a cupboard.
As long as you find a company that can make made to measure cupboards and doors you can.
The key when selecting a supplier for your replacement cupboard doors is to ensure they have facilities on site to make doors to custom sizes.
Doors do come in standard sizes but not every cupboard you have is going to be a standard off-the-shelf size.
If you find a supplier who offers a made to measure service the world is your oyster.
You can have doors made for any size cupboard.
The same goes if you actually need to build a new cupboard.
Don't forget the styles and colours for your doors too.
You need to find a supplier that can offer you a wide range so that you can match your new cupboard door to your existing decoration.
You ideally want one who can offer you free samples so that you can take a few away and see what they look like against the rest of your room.
If you want to be a bit more creative with your door you may want to consider having a unique pattern or design cut into it.
For older houses, some cupboard doors may need to be ventilated to prevent mildew and mould building up, particularly if the wall of the cupboard is and external one.
Having a design cut into the door can help you provide a stylish solution to this problem.
You need to make sure your supplier has the capability to do this.
The final thing to remember is you may need new fittings for your door.
This includes hinges and door handles.
If you are modernising your cupboard door, a new handle will be a must as an old, worn handle will look wrong and detract from your new door.
Replacing cupboard doors is a great way to spruce up a tired old cupboard and make it look like new.
It's a much more cost effective way of modernising your house and it's more environmentally friendly too.
