Future-Proof Fitted Storage: Timeless & On-Trend Wardrobe Door Ideas

Storage is an essential feature in every bedroom, as it helps to create a clutter-free environment that's conducive to rest and relaxation. Replacement wardrobe doors can have an impressive impact on the look and feel of your bedroom, so if your storage is in need of some TLC, here are some tips that will help you to find a style that looks beautiful and will offer maximum functionality long into the future.

Understanding Your Storage And Configuration Needs

Before jumping into the different styles of replacement wardrobe doors that are available, it's important to understand exactly what you need from your new storage system and which configuration will best suit your space.

Pro Tip: Make sure that you're taking things like skirting boards, plug sockets and light switches into account, as well as alcoves and sloped ceilings, all of which may impact your design and installation process.

A two-door system is often ideal for a small wardrobe, whereas larger wardrobes may require up to four doors to provide optimal accessibility and a sleek finish. Sliding doors are also an option and can be better suited to wider wardrobes, however, it's important to factor in some additional clearance space into your measuring process as you may need an extra 50mm to accommodate fully opened sliding door panels.

Creating Design Harmony With Colour

With so many different colours and finishes available, you can play with colour and texture in ways that bring depth and harmony to your bedroom design. Choosing a colour that matches other tones in your bedroom will instantly offer a cohesive and seamless look, however, you could also choose a contrasting colour to make your wardrobes one of the main focal points within your design.

Light tones will help to make your room feel brighter and more spacious, whereas deeper hues can bring a touch of drama and sophistication. When deciding which colour and finish to select, we really recommend thinking about how much natural light your room receives throughout the day and the lighting solutions you plan to incorporate to create a usable space during the evenings.

Pro Tip: Generally, well-lit rooms are able to better accommodate more dramatic tones and finishes, whereas spaces that don't experience a lot of natural light may benefit from a finish with light reflecting properties.

Hardware And Accessories Offer A Finishing Flourish

High quality hardware and accessories will elevate your wardrobes both aesthetically and functionally. While not something that you'll necessarily look at all the time, quality hinges and soft close mechanisms will extend the lifespan of your doors and prevent your doors from accidentally slamming closed, offering a premium experience each time you open and close your wardrobe.

If you've chosen a style that requires handles or pulls, it's worth spending a bit of time thinking about which design and finish is best suited to your space. Our Windsor knob in a brushed copper finish can add a subtle traditional design flourish to your wardrobe doors while ensuring they're easy to open and close. Alternatively, a slimline D handle in a chic and contemporary stainless steel finish may be better suited to the style of doors you've selected for your space.

Now that we've run through some of our top tips and considerations to make, let's look at some specific styles that may be right for your bedroom space.

Chic and Contemporary Sliding Wardrobe Doors

Space-saving and super chic, our Ora wardrobe doors on a sliding mechanism will bring a touch of contemporary luxury to your bedroom. The sliding mechanism means that you won't need to account for the space required for doors that open outwards, making this style perfect for new build properties with bedrooms that are perhaps on the smaller side.

Our Ora doors have a soft-touch finish which is stain resistant and antibacterial for longevity. Plus, all colourways come with a colour matched reverse and edge, which offers a seamless and elevated look. This style is available in both supergloss and ultramatt finishes in a variety of beautiful natural and earthy shades, including cashmere, aquamarine and agave green.

Embrace Traditional Design With Shaker Style Wardrobe Doors

From simple to more intricate panelling, our shaker style range of wardrobe doors contains a style to suit all tastes and preferences. If you're looking for timeless simplicity, our Bella Richmond wardrobe doors are ideal, as they have clean lines and gently curved edges for a touch of softness.

If you're looking for a slightly more traditional style that still suits contemporary life, our Bella Surrey doors feature subtle yet impactful details that bring character and interest to a bedroom. Like our Ora doors, our Bella range is available in a selection of gloss and matt finishes in colours ranging from blush pink to pistachio green, Scandinavian blue, mood grey, and rusty red.

Achieve A Sleek And Ultra-Modern Look With High Gloss Doors

Our Zurfiz doors with a glass effect edge can instantly brighten your bedroom with their high gloss finish. Ideally suited to ultra-contemporary spaces, our Zurfiz doors are available in a variety of brightening neutral shades, as well as a selection of more unusual finishes with a striking visual texture. Ultragloss cream, cashmere or champagne are perfect if you want to keep your bedroom looking light and bright, however, if you're looking for something that will bring a touch of drama to your room, ultragloss copperleaf or limestone are excellent options.
