Doors can be used for a lot of things. Woodworkers may want to use it as the top of a workbench or it can be turned into a desk.

You could paint it and use it as decor, esp if you're into farmhouse style.
Hi Beverly. Old doors can be used to create a headboard. We have wanted to do this for several years now. We will lay the door on its side and attach a mantle down the entire length. If we need more length, we will add 4 X 4's on both ends and we will put some sort of decorative finials on top of each 4 X 4. Then we will paint it all the same color and attach it to the studs in the wall above our bed. Good luck Beverly. Hoping all is well with you.
Create a hall tree with coat hooks, or use as decor in a corner!
Depends on the type of door, but if it’s a flat, hollow core door it can be used as a workbench top for light duty applications, or a top for a potting bench.
