While you might not often consider how your wardrobe doors and storage are affecting your space; old, outdated or damaged wardrobes can impact the overall look and feel of the room they’re in.

Whether the inside storage isn’t up to scratch or the doors are bringing the appearance down, an upgrade can make a world of difference. If you’re unsure whether your home could do with a refresh, we’ve compiled the top five signs that point to the fact it’s time for an update with the installation of custom wardrobes. 

Wear and Tear

It doesn’t matter how careful you are with your home – time and natural wear and tear eventually affect everything – and not just things like the carpet and appliances but your wardrobe too. 

The first things to look out for with general wear and tear are the small aesthetic issues. While they don’t always impact the use of your wardrobe, they can still give away how long it’s been since they were first installed. 

From obvious visual aspects like chipped paint to practical aspects like squeaky or sticky hinges and sagging shelving, wear and tear usually creeps in slowly. Refreshing your wardrobe before anything fully breaks is usually the best time to take care of things. 

Damage

The next level up from standard wear and tear is outright damage that impedes your ability to even use your wardrobe the way you want to. Things like damaged or wobbly tracks for sliding wardrobes or hinges that have warped or dropped can prevent you from getting adequate access. Internally, things like broken shelves or missing hanging rods are more tell-tale signs of your wardrobe being overdue for an upgrade. 

Outdated Style

It takes a while to make a home your own, and we know that your own personal interior design aesthetic takes shape over a long period. However, certain parts of the home can be easy to forget when you’re transforming things – including your wardrobe. 

Depending on how you’ve renovated, painted, or styled your home, your wardrobe style and storage needs may change. The facade of your wardrobe may have embellishments that don’t go with a more modern interior. Or, you might have very plain doors that could do with something like feature door handles and detailing to be more in line with a vintage-inspired home. 

Functionality Issues

An obvious one that you may have learned to live with is functionality issues. Whether your room layout makes it difficult to open the doors fully, or they simply don’t provide enough storage for your needs, functionality is a major sign you need to replace your wardrobe doors. 

Space-Saving

Space is at a premium in any home, regardless of whether you’re in a large three-bedroom or a studio apartment. Having proper wardrobe storage can make a world of difference when it comes to making the most of your space to keep the rest of the room feeling open and clutter-free. 

Get rid of that pile of clothes that’s started to live permanently on the chair in the corner of the room and elevate your storage with a comprehensive array of wardrobe extras like shelves, drawers, and hangers.
