More than simply somewhere to sleep, well-designed bedrooms offer us a comfortable sanctuary where we can experience the deep rest that's necessary to maintain our sense of wellbeing. But while it can be tempting to start with a blank canvas when ready to breathe new life and character into your bedroom, there are many simple and affordable changes that can actually be more transformative than you may initially imagine.
Three Reasons To Replace Your Wardrobe Doors
Wardrobes are often one of the hardest-working elements in a bedroom, as they need to house an array of objects to keep the space feeling light, cosy and clutter-free. So, it's no surprise that wardrobe doors often start showing signs of wear and tear before many other design features. There are a variety of advantages to replacing your wardrobe doors, including:
They're Easy To Install
Replacement wardrobe doors are incredibly fast and simple to install, so you can start to transform the style of your sleeping space with ease. This easy DIY project can be completed in a matter of hours and offers a new look without the disruption of a complete renovation.
They're Sustainable
If the main body of your wardrobes is still in good condition and the internal configuration offers the variety of storage you need, replacing the doors will minimise waste and help you to create a more sustainable bedroom.
Pro Tip: Many replacement wardrobe doors in the Happy Doors collection are made from sustainably sourced materials and have been certified by the FSC.
They're An Afforable Way To Transform Your Bedroom
A full renovation project isn't the only way to transform the look and feel of your bedroom. In fact, swapping out your wardrobe door fronts can help you to achieve an entirely new design style without breaking the bank.
Let's take this opportunity to look at a few different styles and explore the transformative impact they will make in your home.

Our Ora wardrobe doors can be mounted on streamlined sliding door mechanisms, which can be ideal in more compact rooms where floor space is minimal. The soft touch finish has an inherent sense of luxury, and the colour matched edges and reverse guarantee a high quality, truly elevated look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which handles are right for my new wardrobe doors?
Your choice of handle should complement the overall style of the doors you've chosen. For example, if you've selected an ultra-modern, slab style door with a gloss finish, our sleek Slim Square D-Handles in a cool and contemporary stainless steel finish may be the ideal match. Alternatively, if you have selected a more traditional Shaker style door with panelled detailing, our Windsor Knob in a warm satin brass or classic pewter finish can complete your new feature in a charming and characterful way.
Should I choose a neutral or a more colourful finish for my new wardrobe doors?
Both neutral and more colourful wardrobe doors can be incorporated into a range of bedroom design schemes, so it's important to allow your personal sense of style to guide you here. If you want to use colourful accessories throughout your space, neutral wardrobe doors can offer a firm foundation that will allow for experimentation in other ways. However, if you want your wardrobes to be a central feature within your design, a more colourful or bolder finish may better suit your vision.
Are handleless wardrobe doors trendy in 2026?
Clean lines and uninterrupted surfaces are hugely popular within a variety of contemporary bedroom design styles, as they allow the eye to take in the full scope of the room without getting caught up on tiny details. This can make a space feel lighter and airier, which can instantly make us feel relaxed and at home. Handleless wardrobe doors will continue to be a popular and stylish choice throughout 2026 and beyond for this reason.
