Refresh your Wardrobe Style…
With Spring just around the corner, it’s time to reinvigorate your storage space and freshen up the overall design and feel of your sliding wardrobes and in-built storage. You may have sliding wardrobes installed in your own bedroom, a spare or guest bedroom, or dressing room, no matter where they are in your home, they can become a stylish feature piece or addition to you room.
Here we have found some top tips on how to update your sliding wardrobes…
Add mirrors
Adding mirrors to the front of your wardrobe doors is a great way to add the impression of space to your room. Mirrors make a space look twice the actual size of the room, so this is a great tip for those with small spaces available. Another great reason to choose mirrors is that they bounce light around a room. If you have a small window that doesn’t let in much light or you have spot lights in your storage space, the mirrors will bounce this light around the area to create a fresher and lighter feel.
Paint them
If you have solid wardrobe doors made from wood or plastic, then you can add a lick of paint to the surface to brighten them up and create a stylish look that matches the rest of your room.
Adding a splash of colour can take an old and worn looking wardrobe front and liven it up no end. Depending on the paint you choose, will depend on the overall look you achieve, for example, choosing matte paint will create a contemporary and modern feel, whilst choosing a satin or glitter finish paint will give a fun and glamorous look to you wardrobes.
Swap the doors for curtains
If you really want to get creative and add a huge dose of luxury, you can swap the doors out entirely and opt for fabric curtains to replace them. Adding curtains to a wardrobe, especially if you opt for a heavy and luxurious material, will give the whole space an added touch of traditional glamour and opulence.
Add wallpaper
If swapping doors out isn’t your thing, and you don’t like painting, or would like to opt for a pattern, then wallpaper is your solution! This is a rising trend at the minute of people adding wallpaper to the front of their wardrobes tie them in with the rest of the room, or create a seamless finish between the wardrobe and the rest of the room. This also helps if you are using your wallpaper as a feature piece of your room, meaning your wardrobe doesn’t interrupt this but enhances it instead.
Try materials
Somewhere in the middle of swapping doors for curtains and adding wallpaper is another popular trend of adding material to the front of the doors. Many people have experimented with velvet, felt and cork to add an extra texture to the room.
Swap them for screens
Another way to create a light and airy atmosphere among your storage is to opt for slightly opaque screens for your wardrobe fronts. This means you may be able to see the colours of theorems inside but light will be able to travel across the surface of the material and disperse across the room. This also creates a great spa feel, going the impression of calmness.
Add film
Adding film to your wardrobe doors is similar to opting for the screen option above. You simply add some film to the surface of the doors (this works great if you want to changed mirrored doors), that can be coloured or plain, to add dimension to your storage space. Adding a white/cream film to the top and bottom of your wardrobe doors and a metallic film through the middle will create a luxurious and modern styling.
Add chalk paint
Building on the paint option is the option of chalk paint. If you have storage in a children’s play area or bedroom, then this one is for you! Adding chalk paint to the front of your wardrobes create a fun and interactive space where drawings, notes and more can be added to the doors.
Add vinyl stickers
Another option is to add a vinyl sticker to the front of the doors to create a feature piece. Instead of camouflaging your wardrobe into your room, many people are opting for the wardrobes to take centre stage and become the feature piece, adding stickers across the multiple doors to create an image.
Change handles
If changing the styling of your wardrobe doors is too much change for you, you can simply change the style of the wardrobe door handles. This surprisingly can have a huge impact on the over all style of your storage and can take a warn traditional style wardrobe into a modern and sleek storage space.
