Bi-fold doors are normally used on closets. They can be beautiful and functional at the same time. The doors allow you to access closets that are very close to the bed. However, you can use simple shades to make them stand out. Bright colors are highly recommended. Try and also add lattice strips after painting. This will help to accentuate the door.

This allows you to experiment with various designs until you find something that works. You can choose a wide range of colors too. 

Using tape is probably one of the cheapest options you can go for to revamp your door’s look. But in case you don’t want to use the tape, pre-made vinyl cutouts should work, too.
