Why can\’t many people save money on renovations? The decoration process can be summarized into five major types of work: water, electricity, shingles, oil.

But in actual decoration, each type of work can be divided into countless projects, a little here, a little there, and the costs add up.

Today, let’s talk about this inconspicuous and easy-to-step-upon project: door covers.

From a practical point of view, the function of door covers is to protect the corners, protect the door body, and reduce collisions.

From a decorative point of view, depending on the materials used, door covers can enhance the overall beauty of the home.

The scope of application of door covers is different now. In the past, door covers referred to the door frame that protects the door. But now the door opening between the balcony and the living room has a door cover.
