Wardrobes are more than just a functional space to keep your clothing, and when styled correctly, they can make a real statement in your room. From door profiles and patterns to unique colours and textures, your wardrobe doors can serve to elevate the style and aesthetics of your home.
Choosing custom wardrobe doors opens you up to a world of stylistic choices. There are a few key considerations that’ll help you narrow down your options and find the perfect design for your home.
Architectural Style
To find the perfect match that’ll elevate the look and feel of any room, consider the time period your home was built in and which elements stand out the most. Keeping in line with the existing architectural style of your house will help new installations fit in seamlessly, complementing rather than clashing with the surrounding areas.
For example, if you’re living in a classic Victorian-style home, consider the look and design of your existing internal doors.
Typically, Victorian homes favour doors with four panels. Incorporating this more vintage style will refresh the quality of wardrobes without compromising the classic look and feel.
If you’re in a mid-century modern home that was made anywhere from the 50s to the 70s, you find a simpler design with a cleaner profile looks more in keeping with the home’s overall aesthetic.
Picking the design is often the hardest part, but once you have a strong base to work with, the other details fall into place more easily.
Building Materials
When you’re looking at updating anything in your home, including custom wardrobes, it’s an investment that you’ll want to stand the test of time. This is why choosing the best materials that are fit for purpose is so important.
MDF, for example, is a more versatile building material option if you ever decide to repaint your wardrobe, enabling you to sand it back and change its appearance at any stage.
Environment
Considering the location of your wardrobe doors can also help you refine whether you want to go for a darker or lighter colour scheme. If you have recessed wardrobes and want to minimise their appearance in your room, making them a neutral, light colour can help them blend in better.
Adding colour to your wardrobe doors can help bring a touch of vibrance and personality, as well as help in setting the overall tone of the room. Keeping softer shades like greens or timber prints for the bedroom can create a more restful atmosphere. In contrast, using bolder colours for places like home offices or the living room can promote a more energising feel.
If you’re adding custom wardrobes to an entertainment area or office, adding a unique colour can help create more distinctive zones in your home, which is particularly useful with open-plan living. To make them a more stand-out feature, you could add darker panels, framing or an all-over bolder colour scheme.
Personal Taste
The beauty of having a fully custom design that you’ve chosen yourself is that you can incorporate your own style. Your choices span everything from unique panel designs and colours to a wide range of handle options.
Whether you’re looking for a modern combination of a stone grey with matte black handles or want to go for a crisp white that’s complemented by brushed brass handles, you can make something that’s truly custom.
You can also choose from an array of striking wardrobe door designs, including mirrored, framed or frameless, panel, and/or routed doors.
