Bi-Fold Closet Door Update
My sister’s future nursery had these boring outdated bi-fold closet doors and I knew that I could give it an inexpensive update! With some PVC trim, liquid nails, caulk, and paint, they look so different!

Before
I picked up some cheap and simple PVC trim and pre-cut it all at my house. You could easily cut this type of plastic trim with scissors or miter shears. I did make sure to cut the ends at a 45 degree angle for nice corners.
Back at my sister’s I used liquid nails to attach them, creating these nice decorative trim boxes. I could have used a nail gun but this kind of trim can dent or break easily.
It looked so much better already just with trim! Next, I caulked all the seams inside and outside the boxes. You could do this to any boring interior door!
Next, paint! My sister wanted a rainbow themed nursery for her “rainbow baby” so it seemed only fitting to have rainbow doors!
Finally, I added some updated knobs and they were done! Such an easy transformation for a baby’s room!

I love the look and I’m always looking for ideas on how to change up my bifold doors. Thanks for sharing!

I don't feel confident with my cutting skills, so I have purchased some assorted picture frames at the thrift and dollar stores to glue onto our 2 wooden, bifold closets. I plan to paint them and the doors, soon. You could use all the same frames if you feel you need more consistency!

Don’t care who did what. But this is great idea. Very hard to make icky, sometimes necessary bi fold doors not look cheap and tacky. Great upgrade. Thanks for sharing
