Design-First Wardrobe Fronts: Turn Fitted Units Into a Bedroom Feature Wall

The beginning of a brand new year can bring the motivation to redesign some of the most-used rooms in our homes. Whether you're looking at a complete renovation or a smaller upgrade, having a comfortable and inviting bedroom that feels personalised to us can make a world of difference to how we feel, as it helps to promote rest and relaxation. While bedroom interior trends naturally change and evolve over time, the notion of maximising space and ensuring that you've got enough storage space is a consistent cornerstone element of every well-designed sleeping space.

As bedroom storage can occupy a significant amount visual space, it's a great place to start with your redesign. Here's how upgrading the look of your storage with custom wardrobe doors can create a stylish feature wall on a budget.

Bedroom Feature Wall Ideas With Custom Wardrobe Doors

Surround Yourself With Rich, Earth Tones

Grounding and warming, earth tones consistently work beautifully within bedroom design schemes, as they're particularly adept at creating an atmosphere that feels cosy and restful. A simple and streamlined silhouette like the one that can be achieved with our Ora doors is a great way to incorporate a large amount of colour into your design in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.

Pro Tip: Whether you choose a light cashmere, a mid-tone agave green or a slightly more unexpected aquamarine finish, surrounding yourself with colours that are abundant in nature will help you to switch off and relax, even at the end of a stressful day.

Lean Into Eco-Friendly Chic

Living more sustainably is something that many of us are thinking more keenly about in 2026. Incorporating sustainable materials into a bedroom is a great way to contribute to the creation of an atmosphere that supports wellbeing and rest, particularly as they can further amplify feelings of comfort in a deeply authentic way.

Our FSC certified Valore wardrobe doors are an ideal option here, not only because they're constructed from responsibly sourced materials but also because they're available in a variety of interesting finishes inspired by natural materials. If you want to incorporate a sense of richness and depth into your bedroom, Vanguard Walnut or Tigerwood Nero are both striking finishes with a subtle yet statement texture. Alternatively, a lighter finish such as Porcelain Gold Grey or Driftwood Light Grey will offer plenty of visual texture whilst helping to maintain a lighter and brighter overall look.

Explore Biophilic Designs

If you're a plant lover, incorporating houseplants into your bedroom space can help to amplify its sense of calm and serenity. Houseplants can also boost our well-being by improving air quality, and they have an inherent ability to make a space feel alive in a way that can't be replicated.

Biophilic interior design is going to be a top trend throughout 2026 and this style works best when every element within the design feels cohesive and aligned. So, we recommend choosing custom wardrobe doors that complement your favourite houseplants. There are several routes you could take here, each of which will offer a very different look and feel.

Selecting wardrobe doors in a rich green hue will create almost a forest-like atmosphere in your bedroom that envelops you as soon as you step inside. However, if you're eager to maintain a sense of lightness and brightness within your bedroom, choosing wardrobe doors in a light wood finish, such as Cremona Oak Cotta or Light Vincenza Oak will maintain a sense of openness and space.

Be Bold With A Solid Block Colour

If earthy tones aren't your thing but you want to incorporate a solid block of colour in your bedroom, choosing wardrobe doors in a rich jewel tone can be a great way to make a statement in a way that's better aligned with your personal style.

A rich burgundy, emerald or sapphire colour will help to create a sophisticated and opulent look within your space, allowing you to create an almost cocoon like environment that allows you to recharge away from the stressors of modern life.

Pro Tip: Lighter colours can also make a style statement in your bedroom and help to create a fresh atmosphere. The blush pink, pistachio green or Scandinavian blue finishes that are available throughout our Bella range of wardrobe doors are all excellent options here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose matt or gloss wardrobe doors?

Our range of wardrobe doors is available in a selection of finishes, each with its own unique look and feel. Gloss finish wardrobe doors can help to bounce light around a room and can give a space a more contemporary look. Matt wardrobe doors have a chic and sophisticated look, which can be easily incorporated into both traditional and more modern design schemes. Allow your personal sense of style to guide you here and you're sure to make the right choice.

Can I choose a deep or rich finish for my wardrobe doors if I have a small bedroom?

It's a common misconception that only light tones can be used within smaller spaces. While light neutrals can help to create a feeling of space, the colour drenching trend highlights how it's possible to use a deep tone throughout a room without making it feel claustrophobic.

Finding the right colour and tone is key, so we recommend ordering a selection of colour swatch samples that you can look at in different lighting conditions. To do this, you can order up to six samples completely free of charge via our website simply by filling in this online form.

Should I hire a professional to install my new wardrobe doors?

Many of our customers install their new wardrobe doors themselves, so if you're confident with a screwdriver, this is a task that you could complete yourself. However, if you would prefer to hire a professional, this will be a quick task that they're sure to make light work of!
