Turn Ordinary Fitted Storage Into Statement Bedroom Joinery

Since the 1950s, on average newly-built properties in the UK have reduced in size each decade. Some post-war housing constructed in the 1950s and 1960s benefitted from larger rooms, however modern homes in the UK are now often cited as being amongst the smallest in the whole of Europe.

But while fitted storage can be extremely handy in smaller homes, even more expansive properties can benefit from built-in storage because it also has a stylish look and feel that's well-suited to an array of different interior styles.

How Bespoke Wardrobe Doors Can Elevate Your Bedroom

Perhaps more so than some other spaces in the home, tired-looking storage can have a huge impact on the overall ambience of our bedrooms. A space to rest and recharge after a long day, your bedroom should be an inviting space that reflects your tastes and enables you to prepare for the day ahead.

With many different styles, finishes and colours to explore, custom wardrobe doors can offer your bedroom a new lease of life and help you to create a space that feels truly your own. So, while storage can often feel like an afterthought, investing in bespoke wardrobe doors can give your bedroom an anchor point and help to inform other design choices, from the colour of your walls to the style of furniture you want to incorporate.

Here's how we recommend approaching the process of selecting the right doors for your home, measuring to ensure a seamless fit, and installing them to achieve a professional, high-end finish.

Explore Different Styles To Find Your Perfect Match

Whether you've got a clear design vision or you're not yet sure what your dream bedroom space looks like, it can be helpful to browse through a range of different doors to find your ideal fit.

If you're hoping to maximise the sense of space you feel when you walk into your bedroom, a sleek style like our Ora slab wardrobe doors or our Bella Chelsea handleless wardrobe doors may be ideal.

On the other hand, you may be eager to infuse your bedroom with some additional character, in which case something like our Bella Richmond or Bella Westbury wardrobe doors may be a better option for you. These are just a couple of our most popular styles, which feature panelling or tongue and groove details, which take inspiration from traditional design styles in a way that doesn't feel at all dated.

Choose A Colour That Sparks Joy

Bedrooms are intensely private spaces and so it's important to make choices that bring you joy without thinking about what others may think. After all, it's not a space that casual visitors to your home will necessarily see unless, of course, you want to show off your design choices!

As well as the overall style, the colour and finish you select will also ultimately have a big role to play when it comes to the look and feel your new doors will bring to your bedroom. From bold, heritage inspired hues such as fir green, indigo blue and rusty red, to bright neutrals including cashmere, ivory and antique white, there's something for every home in the Happy Doors range.

Find Your Ideal Finish

Many of the doors in our range are available in a variety of finishes, including ultragloss and supermatt. Much like colour, finish can also impact the overall look of your wardrobe doors, which means that finding the right combination for your space is key.

Matt finishes tend to expertly tread the boundary between contemporary and traditional design, offering plenty of versatility and longevity. However, gloss and ultragloss finishes typically have a very contemporary look and feel, which can quickly help bring even the most dated bedrooms firmly into the 21st century.

Pro Tip: Light coloured, gloss finish wardrobe doors can also bring some extra lightness and brightness to smaller rooms, as they're adept at reflecting the light and bouncing it around a space.

The Importance Of Taking Accurate Measurements

As we'll use the measurements you provide to cut your new doors to size, it's really important to take accurate measurements and ensure you've entered them correctly into our website when placing your order. Measuring is incredibly easy and we've created this straightforward step-by-step guide to help.

The Installation Process Is Easier Than You Think!

As soon as your new wardrobe doors arrive on your doorstep, you can get started with the installation process and we've put together this short video guide to prove how simple it is. We recommend using our Hettich hinges to install your doors, as they have 3-way adjustment capabilities which will help you to achieve a perfect fit.

Pro Tip: For a truly hassle-free installation process, include hinge hole measurements when placing your order. We'll use these measurements to pre-drill hinge holes into your doors, so all you'll need is a screwdriver to get the job done!
