As the proud owner of a beautiful period property, you might be currently considering how to refresh your space in a way that’s sympathetic to its original character and personality. If this sounds like you, here are some ideas to consider.

Key Replacement Wardrobe Doors Ideas

Choose colourful replacement wardrobe doors

Accent pieces are a foolproof way to start incorporating colour into your space, and replacement wardrobe doors are firmly in this category. By keeping your walls white and fresh, you’ll continue to benefit from the sense of space this provides and retain solid foundations upon which you can start to play with colour and tone. 

Choosing replacement wardrobe doors in a style that aligns with the character of your home will provide the much-needed link between old and new. The Bella Aldridge range has panelling and sleek lines which offer a sense of timelessness that's ideal for period properties. As well as a number of classic colour options, the Bella Aldridge also comes in a variety of colourful options including blush pink, sage green and denim blue. 

Pro Tip: Incorporate a single colourful element to create a feature in your space or use the same colour throughout several different elements for a balanced and cohesive look.

Go bold with a two-tone colour palette 

As period properties are overflowing with character and charm, they often have the proportions to pull off a bold colour combination if you want to really make a statement.

Navy blue is a tone that works beautifully in Victorian properties, as this was an era where rich tones were really embraced throughout the home. Plus, it also pairs beautifully with a variety of different tones, including pinks, greens and yellows, so it's extremely versatile.

Pro Tip: If you want to give your bedroom a bold two-tone makeover, the Bella Richmond replacement wardrobe doors have an elegance and simplicity that offers both character and versatility. There are a number of rich blue options here, including colonial blue, indigo blue and denim, all of which will pair wonderfully with mustard yellow, dusky pink or jewel green accents. 

Play with characterful wallpaper 

Patterns became very popular during the Victorian era, particularly the intricate damask style, which featured heavily in French design, as they were viewed as being elegant and luxurious.

From simple patterns to intricate designs that adorned middle and upper class homes throughout Great Britain and France in the late 1800s, incorporating wallpaper into your bedroom can increase the sense of luxury you feel as soon as you step inside.

You can either choose replacement wardrobe doors and other accessories to match the colours and tones in your wallpaper or use this as an opportunity to add some extra interest and depth by choosing a contrasting colour instead.

Don’t discount soothing neutral tones 

When thinking about adding colour to your home, your mind may initially be drawn to bright, bold or rich tones, however it’s important not to underestimate the impact that soothing neutral tones can have on your home.

Everything from natural wood finishes to gentle dove greys and elegant cashmere hues can impart their own unique sense of character and personality into your home in a charming and understated way.

Select grounding accents 

While it can be easy to get carried away with colour, selecting grounding accents will ensure that space never feels too busy, too modern or simply too much.

Adding pewter, brass or brushed copper handles to your replacement wardrobe doors is a subtle yet effective way to reflect the core essence and character of your home, especially if you select a style that is in-keeping with the period of your property.

Our Windsor Shell handles are an excellent option and add extra detail in a simple and understated way.
