How To Choose Wardrobe Door Designs That Maximise Storage

Fitted wardrobes are a smart addition to any bedroom because they offer plenty of storage without taking up any more space than is absolutely necessary. While opting for a simple, plain white wardrobe set-up is something that you can't really go too far wrong with, another option is to make your wardrobes a feature by choosing fully bespoke replacement wardrobe doors.

Whether you're looking for something classic and chic or a style that will help you to make a real design statement, here's how to choose the right wardrobe doors for your bedroom.

How to Choose the Right Wardrobe Doors

Classic Shaker Doors With A Twist

If you're looking for something classic, Shaker is an ideal style to explore. It's simple yet characterful and can bring a sense of elevated sophistication to any space. But it's also a style that you can do more with if you'd like, simply by choosing an unexpected colour over a classic neutral tone.

Our Richmond wardrobe doors are a beautiful example of Shaker style, featuring elegant symmetrical panelling that'll bring character to your bedroom. It's this assured sense of character that makes space for some experimentation when it comes to colour, with options including blush pink and Scandinavian blue able to bring a flash of contemporary chic to the style.

Another option to consider is our Bella Surrey style, which also makes space for experimentation, as the narrow grooves bring a flash of modernity to what is otherwise a very classic profile. Selecting a rich jewel tone, such as fir green or indigo blue, can make a bold statement, as can slightly more muted hues with a modern feel, such as smoke green or denim.

Pro Tip: Colour plays an equally important role as style when it comes to finding your perfect replacement wardrobe doors. So while a style may not initially feel as though it's right for your bedroom, something as simple as choosing an unexpected finish could mean that it's the right addition to your space.

Establish A Sense Of Calm With Oak Wardrobe Doors

Wood finishes have been popular in UK homes for centuries and they remain a great option if you're hoping to create a relaxing sanctuary that offers you a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

A simple slab style door offers the space for the finish to really shine and our Bella Venice wardrobe doors are one of the most popular examples of this style. As it's part of our Bella collection, there are an array of wood finishes to explore, including the classic Halifax natural oak, which has a gentle warmth and a beautiful grain. However, there are also many other wood finishes to explore if this isn't quite your style.

Our Urban oak finish is cooler in tone and has a more delicate texture, which offers a more modern and contemporary feel. Our Vinenza oak is slightly deeper in tone and can bring extra character to your space, whereas something like Cremona oak cotta is more neutral in tone and texture which offers a gentle, comforting presence in a space.

Keep It Contemporary With Unexpected Textures

If you want to add some texture to your bedroom but aren't feeling wood tones, there are a range of other options to explore in our collection. Our Valore slab wardrobe doors are an ideal example of a style that is available in a plethora of finishes with a beautiful visual texture. The porcelain gold grey finish is delicate yet intricate, with beautiful gold veining throughout that glistens in the light.

For something a bit richer, oxide artstone has a unique blend of tones and offers a sense of luxe contemporary cool to a bedroom when paired with softer finishes, such as velvet and knitted textures. Cupria slate has a similar effect, while offering a touch more depth and drama to a design.

Pro Tip: We recommend ordering a selection of colour swatch samples to compare at home under different lighting conditions, as this will help you to see which finishes will look best in your space. You can order up to six samples from Happy Doors completely free of charge by filling in our free colour samples form here.

Simplify Your Space With Handleless Wardrobe Doors

Too many small details in a bedroom can compromise the sense of space and airiness you feel, and if this is something you want to avoid, consider choosing a handleless style. Handleless wardrobe doors don't need additional hardware, as they have a cleverly concealed groove within the design itself. This means that you can easily open and close your doors without disrupting the overall flow of your wardrobes.

Our Bella Chelsea wardrobe doors are one of our most popular handleless styles. The recessed groove has a gentle curve for additional softness and can be positioned on the top, bottom, left or right to suit the configuration of your wardrobes. The handle-free surface is clean and contemporary, making it an ideal addition to a streamlined bedroom.
