Bedroom Wardrobes Reimagined: Elegant Door Updates to Elevate Storage

Whether you're a minimalist or a maximalist at heart, every bedroom can benefit from beautifully designed wardrobes offering much-needed storage. As such an integral feature of a space, it's easy for wardrobes to get a bit overlooked, however you might be surprised at just how much of an impact giving your wardrobes a bit of TLC can have on the entire feel of your room.

As specialists in replacement wardrobe doors for both standalone and built-in wardrobes, we've got plenty of stylish options regardless of whether your wardrobes are an unusual shape, tucked away in an awkward spot, or are mounted onto a sleek sliding mechanism. So let's run through the different styles you can choose from and find the right solution for your bedroom.

Top Wardrobe Door Styles from Happy Doors

Maximise Space With Sliding Doors

Sliding mechanisms can be a simple way to maximise the sense of space you feel whenever you're in your bedroom. There's no need to account for any opening space with sliding doors, which can offer you a bit of additional wriggle room when it comes to floorspace. This simple solution may mean that you can fit in an extra bedside table or rearrange your layout to feel more open, airy and usable.

Pro Tip: Sliding doors can be ideal for a child's bedroom, as there won't be as many sharp corners that could be accidentally bumped into.

Our Ora replacement wardrobe doors are a beautiful example of a style that looks effortlessly chic when installed using a sliding mechanism, as the slab style has an understated profile which further contributes to an enhanced sense of spaciousness. Our Ora doors also have a soft touch feel, which is perfectly suited to a comfortable and relaxing bedroom environment and come in a selection of gentle colours, including cashmere, aquamarine and light grey.

Selecting a gloss finish for your new doors can also help to further maximise the sense of space in a smaller bedroom, as they'll reflect the light and make it feel as though the room is airier and larger than it actually is.

Keep It Classic With Traditional Style Wardrobe Doors

Characterful bedrooms are often immediately inviting, creating a sense of comfort in a way that feels truly timeless. Choosing wardrobe doors with traditional design elements is a super simple way to enjoy these benefits without needing to redecorate your whole room.

Our Bella Westbury wardrobe doors feature tongue and groove detailing as well as a curved arch, both of which are classic features. Interestingly, this style looks great with a number of different handle options, including contemporary bar style handles and more traditional door knobs. This offers an extra layer of versatility, enabling you to amplify the traditional elements or tone them down to suit the style of your bedroom.

If you're looking for a traditional style with a distinctly contemporary edge, our Bella Surrey bedroom doors could be perfect. Featuring contemporary clean lines and subtle detailing, this style can complement an array of interior styles, offering a timeless quality that'll continue to look great long into the future.

Pro Tip: Don't forget that your choice of colour and finish will also have an impact on the overall vibe of your wardrobe doors. Lean into the traditional elements by selecting a heritage inspired hue or opt for something more modern for a fresher look.

Create A Feature With Bi-Fold Doors

Also sometimes called concertina doors, bi-fold wardrobe doors can be a great alternative to both traditional and sliding options. Bi-fold doors can be opened and closed fully in a single smooth movement, allowing you to see exactly what's in your wardrobe all at once. They can also help you to create a functional and stylish design feature, making them an excellent option regardless of whether you're working with a smaller or more expansive footprint.

Break Up Large Wardrobes With Glass Panels

Large wardrobes can dominate a bedroom, so if you don't want to give up any valuable storage space, selecting wardrobe doors that can be fitted with glass panels can help to add a bit of extra detail and interest to this area of your space.

There are a variety of styles in the Happy Doors range that can feature elegant glass panels, including our Bella Carrick doors. This simple style has an understated elegance and features clean lines that'll offer a classic finish to your bedroom. Our Bella Warwick doors are another style to consider, which feature slightly more traditional detailing but in a way that still retains a contemporary edge.

Incorporate Open Shelving Into Your Wardrobes

If you've got an impressive shoe or handbag collection that you want to display or you're simply keen to incorporate some open shelving within your wardrobes to display treasured ornaments or photographs, there's no need to conceal every compartment behind a door.

It's important to style open shelves carefully to avoid creating an area that looks cluttered or overwhelming, but when executed correctly, this is a feature that can also help to break up the appearance of large wardrobes to keep a room looking light, fresh and airy.
