How to Transform Your Closet with Custom Tambour Bi-Fold Doors

Writer's picture: Naika AndreNaika Andre

Is your closet an afterthought in your home’s design? It doesn’t have to be! A simple yet striking update can transform it into a design feature that enhances your entire space. At NJA Interiors, we specialize in creating thoughtful, custom designs that elevate everyday elements.


One of our favorite projects, featured in Domino Magazine, involved designing custom bi-fold closet doors with tambour inserts. These unique doors were created in collaboration with a talented local woodworking company. The result? A stunning focal point that seamlessly blends form and function.

Why Custom Tambour Doors?

Tambour panels, made of thin wooden slats adhered to a flexible backing, are celebrated for their texture and sculptural quality. When integrated into a custom door design, they add warmth, character, and a sense of craftsmanship to any room.


At NJA Interiors, we collaborated closely with a local woodworking company to bring our vision to life. We provided detailed drawings, specified the paint color, and entrusted them to execute our design with precision. The result is a testament to the power of collaboration and custom craftsmanship.

The Design & Creation Process

  1. The Vision

    We began by sketching a modern yet timeless door design that would serve as a statement piece.

  2. Partnering with Local Craftsmanship

    Our drawings and detailed specifications were shared with a local woodworking company. They expertly crafted the bi-fold doors, ensuring the tambour inserts fit perfectly within the frames.

  3. The Finishing Touches

    Once the doors were completed, we selected a paint color and hardware that would harmonize with the rest of the space and chose complementary hardware for a cohesive look.
