If you want to enhance your area with natural design components, consider using boxwoods. This perennial plant received its name due to its wood being frequently utilized for making boxes and chests in the past; however, nowadays, people mostly associate it with its dense, verdant bushes. These can be found shaped into intricate topiary designs in manicured gardens as well as

If you’re looking to refresh your environment with a contemporary, nature-inspired look, consider using artificial boxwood panels. These panels are both adaptable and widely favored. Typically measuring about 20-by-20 inches, they are sold in packs of 12 or more for approximately $100. By connecting these squares, you can form an unbroken, upright “hedge” of boxwood, transforming walls, dividers, or even mundane closet doors into striking focal points.
To create a nature-inspired boxwood statement closet door, obtain your boxwood panels (like the top-rated
Sunnyglade Boxwood Panels Set
) and position them to fully cover the door(s). Cut them to fit properly and join them seamlessly. Ensure they do not obstruct the door’s opening and closing; it would be wise to verify this beforehand. Before attaching the boxwood panels to the closet door, take off the door handle using a drill. Once secured, reinstall the original handle or opt for a new decorative one instead.

If you wish to add a personalized illuminated sign to finish off the appearance, all you need are some additional supplies and plenty of patience. Bend a strand of 12-gauge wire into your chosen shape or message. Next, apply a small amount of super glue to secure a slender LED strip along the length of the wired design.

This could work well. Attach the sign to the boxwoods by threading additional wire through the panels. Make certain to think about the placement of the sign’s LED battery pack—you can hide it neatly at the rear of the boxwood panel close to the door’s edge for convenient access. While the LED sign is quite charming, a simpler alternative would involve hanging a standard sign or banner on the door featuring your chosen message. Consider using a customizable banner option such as

to create your unique sign.
There are so many ways to make this boxwood closet door just right for your decor. One idea is to add a frame to the parameter of the door. This will create sleek lines instead of the ill-defined edges of the boxwood panels if that’s more your style. You could also add in some faux flowers for pops of color against the blanket of green foliage. Or, attach a full-length mirror on top of the panels for a

. To create an even more hidden closet door effect, attach your boxwood door to heavy-duty sliding drawer tracks to convert it into a ‘floating’ sliding door.
