Embrace Arts And Crafts With These Replacement Wardrobe Doors

During the 19th century, the movement we now refer to as Arts and Crafts sought to offer an alternative to the increasing volume of factory-made items whilst celebrating natural beauty and high quality artisanship. 

From natural textures, motifs inspired by nature, and layers that give an inherent sense of comfort and cosiness, here are a few tips and techniques that can help you to design an Arts and Crafts inspired bedroom. 

What is Arts and Crafts? 

From handmade pottery to beautiful embroidery and woven rattan accessories, Arts and Crafts inspired spaces put artisanal pieces at the heart of the room, elevating them above mass-produced goods. 

The most successful Arts and Crafts inspired rooms create a sense of balance and harmony between form and functionality, give a nod to the beauty and intricacies of our natural world, and establish an ambience that feels restorative, comforting and inviting.

Work with a nature-inspired colour palette 

A cohesive colour palette provides you with strong foundations that will allow you to curate a bedroom with the right look and feel. While there are many examples of dark Arts and Crafts style spaces, one of the simplest and refreshing ways to work with this style is to choose a colour palette with lots of warm, earthy tones such as sage green, rusty red, brown and beige.

Pro Tip: Lean into the Arts and Crafts style by incorporating flashes of indigo and teal into an earthy colour palette. This will evoke a sense of warmth and tranquillity whilst reflecting our natural world, which is perfect for a restful bedroom space. 

Choose Arts and Crafts inspired patterns 

William Morris patterns sit at the heart of Arts and Crafts design. They can be used on everything from wallpaper to soft furnishings, offering an added layer of depth and detail to your bedroom. Again, these patterns feature blues, greens and warm tones that will create a relaxing and restorative bedroom, as well as beautiful motifs including botanicals, flowers, birds and fruits.

Choose traditional style replacement wardrobe doors 

Staying away from features and finishes that feel too modern is key, as this will create a sense of confusion in an Arts and Crafts inspired space. When choosing replacement wardrobe doors, we recommend choosing a style with timeless features, including panelled detailing and traditional handles. 

Our Bella Richmond replacement wardrobe doors feature a central panel and simple drawer front, which is both elegant and versatile. If you're looking for replacement wardrobe doors that will make more of a visual impact in your bedroom, our Bella Aldridge doors have extra panelling and more detail without losing any of their timelessness. 

Pro Tip: The finish you choose is just as important as the style, as overly glossy or reflective surfaces will feel out of place. We recommend ordering colour swatch samples, as our matt, supermatt or wood effect finishes are all ideally suited to an Arts and Crafts style bedroom.

Make wood the star of the show 

From grand antique furniture to intricately carved wall panelling, wood is more than capable of being the star of the show in any Arts and Crafts style bedroom. You can really follow your own sense of style and creativity here, as everything from small yet perfectly formed bedside tables to a large-scale carved headboard with an inherent sense of grandeur can bring something beautiful to your space.

Pro Tip: If you live in a more contemporary property but you still want to infuse your bedroom with the essence of Arts and Crafts to make the space feel more characterful, choosing smaller pieces of wooden furniture and peppering decorative accessories throughout will allow you to strike the right balance between old and new.
