Best on smooth, flat doors
This works beautifully on smooth, sealed doors. Flat doors, removable panels and simple cupboard fronts are the easiest to wrap, so they are a lovely place to start.
Wardrobe door makeover Australia
Give tired wardrobe doors a whole new mood.
Wardrobe doors are one of the biggest surfaces in a bedroom, so a new finish can lift the whole room. Velven peel and stick vinyl goes straight over smooth, flat doors, with no need to replace the built in. Start with a few samples, then wrap the doors once the finish feels right.

Big visible surface
Wardrobe doors can transform a bedroom, and they reward a little planning.
This is a rewarding project for smooth doors and careful measuring. Take your time with the prep, the seams and the surface, and the finish will look its best.
A big surface is worth planning
Wardrobe doors are much larger than a shelf or a drawer front. Before you order your metres, think about the grain direction, the gaps between doors, the handles, the edges and any joins.
Try a sample in the bedroom first
Your wardrobe sits next to the bed, the floor, the walls and the curtains. Stick a sample on a door and look at it in the morning and at night, then choose the finish that feels right for the room.
Start with the easy doors
Smooth, flat doors and panels you can remove are the easiest place to start, especially on furniture you own. Test a hidden corner first to check how well the vinyl sticks.
Measure each door on its own
Measure the height and width of every door one at a time, and add a little extra for trimming. If a door is wider than the roll, plan where the join will sit before you order.
New to wrapping? Start small
If this is your first Velven project, practise on a bedside table, a shelf or a drawer front. Once you are comfortable with smoothing and trimming, the wardrobe doors are a great next step.
Plan the project before you order
Use how much vinyl wrap do I need to plan each door, then read the how to wrap guide before you start trimming. For a smaller first project, see furniture wrap and bookcase and shelf makeovers.
