There’s an undeniable joy that comes from settling on a style for your home and implementing that beloved look into every nook and cranny. 

Whether you’re going for a style maintained between every room or want each area to have its own self-contained look, it’s all about creating harmony within those spaces.

The design of your wardrobe doors plays a key role in maintaining a set style for your room and can greatly enhance or detract from its overall aesthetic. 

At Flexi Robes, we’re here to provide you with some helpful tips on how to harmonise your wardrobe doors with the style of any room in your home.

The Importance of the Right Wardrobe Doors

When it comes to wardrobe doors, they come in one of two main designs – sliding wardrobe doors or hinged wardrobe doors. Choosing which one to go with isn’t just a matter of aesthetics, but also function.

For example, if you want a wardrobe placed in a smaller room, then you may find sliding wardrobe doors more functional than hinged doors as they can swing outward and use up essential space. 

Mirrored sliding wardrobe doors will likely look more at home in properties built within the last few decades, whereas a classic sliding door design will be more befitting to older, more traditional-looking homes or rooms.

The same applies to hinged wardrobe doors. Modern designs naturally match better with homes or rooms with contemporary design flourishes, whereas a more classic hinged wardrobe door will better match the design of heritage homes.

The right match can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic language of your rooms while also accounting for functionality and adding value. 

You can also customise the features and stylings of different elements of the doors with our product options. We have a range of handles, tracks, and extras to help you make the right wardrobe door for your preferred look.

Room Styles and Corresponding Wardrobe Doors

Identify Your Room Style

Consider the style you want to emulate in your home. Is this style modern or classical, minimalist or maximalist, vibrant, neutral, or understated? When you have the basis of your style chosen, you can then consider which style is best with wardrobe doors.

Options for Different Room Styles

The style and size of your room will play a critical role in determining the style of wardrobe doors you opt for.

Similarly, the colour of your room matters. If you’re going for a classic white tone, then you’ll want your wardrobe doors to reflect that. But if your room is darker, with more earthy tones, then you should consider either dark doors or ones with a dark timber or oak finish.

Functionality Meets Style

In the pursuit of style, make sure you don’t forget about functionality! If you’re styling a smaller room, then you’d also want to account for the functional benefits of wardrobe doors with integrated storage solutions.

You should also consider how door hardware and accompanying finishes (such as striking door handle designs, the style and colour of interior tracks, materials, etc.) contribute to overall looks and function.

As an example, if your room is filled with metallic tones (chromes, silvers, etc.), then door handles made from metal or that mimic the look of metal would be a natural consideration.

Overall, you want to ensure you’ve carefully considered your room’s aesthetics, what functionality you need from your wardrobe, as well as your personal style preferences.

By considering these different points, you can land on the ideal wardrobe door design to match the style you love.
