Whether you want to salvage an adorable arched entry door fit for an elf’s cottage or an elaborately carved architectural panel door fit for a king’s dressing room, there are many great repurposed old door ideas to be found. Detached doors abound because the craftsmanship of yesteryear produced specimens that were built to last. Sometimes a quality door long outlasts the home or room it once adorned. Other times, beautiful doors are no longer functional, but the owners hate to part with them. Countless vintage doors that have been separated from their original homes end up in antique shops, where collectors snap them up. Old doors can find new purpose as interior doors, freestanding room dividers or even as rebuilt furniture and shelving. Adding a vintage door to your home design adds character and function.
