I'm a DIY designer
A HOME whizz has revealed how he jazzes up a doorway in order to make the frame more visually appealing.
He shared his renovation tip, which he says elevated the look of the entryway and won't break the bank.
Lucas Shaw (@emyludesigns) filmed his old doorway in a video on TikTok.
"You have ugly door frames like this and want to make them look nicer, adding a plinth block is an affordable, easy way to upgrade the look of your door frames.
"First, take a plinth block lined up to the inside corner of the door frame and trace it.
"Next, you'll use an oscillating tool, like this Dremel Multi Max that I'm using here to make your cuts along the lines that you trace.
"This tool is great because it's very precise and allows you to work in very tight corners like this one here.
"Once you've made all your cuts, you're simply going to remove the remainder part of that trim with a flathead screwdriver.
"Clean up the area, add the plinth with a couple of brad nails, a little bit of caulk, and then fill in those nail holes," he said.
Lucas assured that the home improvement project won't be too pricy due to cheap materials.
"Since each plinth only cost a few bucks, it really is that cheap and easy to upgrade the look of your door frames," he said.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
"Last owners did this," one wrote. "They came off and are now just another to-do for me."
"Sorry they didn’t do it right," Lucas replied. "Our builder left the massive gap on our trim so had to fix it."
"I was LITERALLY just staring unhappily at the bottom of my door frames," a third commented. "I am absolutely going to do this. Very excited. Excellent timing lol."
"Thanks now I can’t stop looking at my door frames," yet another wrote.
"I don’t have this problem in my new house, but man I wish I could’ve seen this for my old house," yet another commented.
"It’s such an easy fix," Lucas wrote back.
"This has been the bane of my apartment for over a decade and you just fixed it," one more commented.
