How to Make DIY Minimalist Wall Art in a Weekend

Paint Doors

Prime and paint all three doors white. Since you're covering a large area, it's easiest to use a roller for this. Be sure to paint the edges, as they will show when mounted on the wall. Let dry completely.

Prep Doors for Design

Use wide painters tape to mask off the edges of the doors so the black and gray paint won't seep over the sides. Lay down a drop cloth to protect your work surface and be sure to work in a well-ventilated area. Push the three doors together on the floor next to each other so they form one large rectangle with no gaps.

Paint Design

To make our abstract design, use a mop to create a path of light gray paint across all three door panels. Repeat at the top and bottom of the faux canvas. We created a Y-like shape and a rounded half circle design, but you could choose any abstract shape. Let the paint dry, then repeat the design with black paint. This method of layering gives the design dimension. Use a separate mop head for each color. Don't worry about making the lines perfect—the streaks and imprecision give it character. Add splatters as desired. Let your second color and splatters dry.

Install Hanging Hardware

Use a drill and the provided screws to attach two picture hangers—one on each side—to the back of each door. Run thick wire through them to form a hanging loop. Tie multiple knots until secure.

Now you're ready to mount your door triptych! How far apart you space the three door panels is up to you, but measure their placement first to check that they're even. The doors are heavy, so you may need to hang them on studs for support.
