A great look and easy on the pocketbook!
Tip:
I'm always on the lookout for easy and inexpensive ideas that appear high end. Last year I spotted this photo running on HGTV's Rate My Space, and immediately added it to my idea file. The young man who ran the space said he transformed these mirrored closet doors using frosted window film. I've seen this product sold in rolls at Home Depot and Lowe's for around $19.00.
Tip:
Window Film can be cut with scissors, but I suggest using a straight edge, rotary cutter and mat to create sharp, clean edges for a professional look. If you're not familiar with rotary cutters I highly recommend them. I use mine frequently and they are worth the investment!
Mirrored closet doors can easily be updated.
Some window films applications look amateur, so be selective how and where you use them. On the plus side they are easy to apply, are affordable and can be cleaned. However, children could pull it off so that should be a consideration.
Window film for an easy fix:
I'm currently working on a client's master bathroom remodel that has a problematic bathtub window. It overlooks their neighbor's patio, which creates a peek-a-boo situation. They recently purchased their home, and the bathroom came with an expensive window treatment that looks great so they kept it. However, it didn't address the privacy issue so wasn't functional. I suggested using a decorative window film solution, which easily corrected the problem with minimal cost.
