HOW TO RE-USE OLD DOORS - old beauty with a new destiny

doors, marrakech, homestyling

Doors ...

If there is something that 'might' reveal what's hidden behind the walls in the medina, than it must be the door.  Often the only element exposed in the pink walls of the centre.

The magic and surprise when they open and they reveal a spacious inner garden, or a modest home.  it doesn't matter what's behind, the magic stays the same and the door often protects the ones living behind. Symbols and Moorish patterns on wood or metal. They all serve to protect and praise and...sometimes arouse our curiosity

Even after a life long service, their beauty is not in vain, and many a door has found itself a new future inside a modern home....

Let's look at our selection!



HEAD BOARD

A beautiful door found at pinterest, used as bedroom decoration.
A simple way that needs no further adapting in your home. Just pick a size that matches with the size of your bed AND your room!If you keep some space between the back wall and the door you might be able to fit in some indirect lighting.

ROOM DECO

A very popular way and a centre piece! Zoco Home uses this old door as a coffee table. You might want to get an even surface and some protection by putting a glass on top, but I prefer it this way!
