Designing Wardrobe Fronts To Suit Your Lifestyle

From cupboards tucked cleverly into alcoves to spacious walk-in wardrobes, bedroom storage comes in many different shapes, sizes and configurations. Regardless of how much storage space you're working with, it's really important to make sure that it's both a usable and beautiful feature in your room, and custom wardrobe doors can really help with both of these things.

Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing doors that'll align with how you actually want to use your space.

Custom Wardrobe Doors Replacement Tips

Design A Chic Dressing Room With Shaker Wardrobe Doors

If you're fortunate enough to have a spacious dedicated dressing area or a walk-in wardrobe, Shaker wardrobe doors can bring a beautiful sense of elegance that'll take this area of your home to the next level.

The symmetry and understated style of Shaker wardrobe doors means that they look beautiful in pairs or across much larger cupboards without ever looking too visually overwhelming. Our Bella Shaker doors are a really classic example of this style, but there are also more detailed options in our collection, such as our Bella Richmond doors which have additional panels for a more impactful look.

Streamline Your Storage In A Smaller Space With Handleless Wardrobe Doors

Wardrobe doors with minimal fuss always make the right impression in a smaller bedroom space, as their uninterrupted surfaces can make ceilings appear higher and rooms feel much larger and airier than they actually are.

With grooves specifically designed to accommodate the fingertips with ease integrated into the design, handleless wardrobe doors are a brilliant addition to smaller spaces. Our Bella Chelsea wardrobe doors are one of the most popular handleless styles in our range and they offer optimal versatility, as you can choose whether the grooves are located on the top, bottom, left or right of each door to best suit the configuration of your wardrobes.

Give Tired-Looking Wardrobes A Modern Makeover With Chic Slab Wardrobe Doors

If you're eager to give your bedroom a more contemporary edge, slab wardrobe doors are a great option. Our Zurfiz wardrobe doors with a colour matched edge are a good place to start, as they have an ultra modern profile that can be enhanced by choosing an ultragloss or metallic finish.

Our Valore wardrobe doors are also worth considering, particularly if you're interested in making your storage a real feature of your space. Alongside some beautifully understated finishes, such as matt cashmere and natural Kendal oak, you can also explore some of the more eye-catching finishes that are available as part of this collection.

If you love mid-century style and rich wood tones, Vanguard walnut can easily offer your bedroom the sense of timelessness and texture that this style is known for. Porcelain gold grey has a neutral base that's flecked with beautiful golden veining, which offers a subtle sense of luxury that'll elevate any space. But if you're looking for a bold finish that's just a bit flamboyant, the black Mustang Nero finish could tick all the right boxes for you.

Create A Characterful Space With Traditional Wardrobe Doors And Finishes

Proving that traditional doesn't always equal dated, our collection of classic style wardrobe doors can instantly offer a hit of character to any room. The tongue and groove detailing on our Bella Newport doors channels country cottage chic, and can give your bedroom a sense of warmth that'll help you to create a space that feels like a genuine retreat from the outside world.

This tongue and groove detailing can also be seen on our Bella Westbury doors, which also feature a subtle curved arch at the top. This style can really draw the eye upwards, either to highlight any decorative moulding your room has or to make your space feel larger and airier.

Pro Tip: Traditional styles look beautiful as a single door or as a more expansive wall of wardrobes, so they can be a great choice regardless of whether your bedroom is bijou and cosy or more spacious.

Think About The Installation Process

Depending on the style you're choosing, Happy Doors custom wardrobe doors can be installed in a number of different ways. Standard hinges that open outwards are the most common way to install both handled and slab-style wardrobe doors. We recommend our Hettich hinges, which have a soft-close mechanism and 3-way adjustment capabilities.

Pro Tip: If you want to maintain a sense of sleekness and would prefer not to have handles on your wardrobe doors, a clever push-to-open mechanism may be ideal for you.

Many of our doors also lend themselves well to being installed on a sliding mechanism, which can be perfect for rooms with a smaller footprint because you won't need to account for the necessary space to open your doors in front of your wardrobes.

Don't Forget The Accessories

If you're choosing handled wardrobe doors, you'll want to spend a bit of time thinking about which style of handle will look best. Bar handles have a sleek silhouette which leans more modern; however, depending on the finish, it's a style that can also complement more traditional wardrobe doors too.

On the other hand, cup style handles tend to lean slightly more traditional; however, a polished nickel or stainless steel finish can offer just the right amount of modernity to suit wardrobe doors with a more contemporary look.

Pro Tip: Many of our handles are available in a selection of finishes, including shiny chrome, antique copper, matt black, brushed gold, and stainless steel.
