Traditionally, wardrobe doors have been made out of wood and designed to open outwards. In some cases, these choices may still be desirable, fitting the aesthetics and functionality of the space. However, this is not the only option.
Wardrobes with sliding doors adorned with mirrors are rising in popularity. This is because of all the benefits they bring.
In this blog, we will explore how sliding mirror wardrobe doors could benefit your bedroom.
1. Space-Saving Design
One of the biggest benefits of a wardrobe with a sliding door is the space it brings.
Typically, wardrobes have doors on hinges that swing outwards. For this to work successfully in a particular room, this means there must be ample space for the door to swing outwards. If your room is not very big, this can take up valuable floor space. Worse still, if you do not have room for the door to open fully, you may only be able to access some of the wardrobe. This is frustrating and impractical.
Wardrobes with sliding doors do not have this problem. Sitting on runners, this design enables you to move the doors out of the way easily to see the contents within. There is no need for additional space, so they fit neatly within small bedrooms and remain completely functional despite the small space.
2. Enhanced Aesthetics and Modern Appeal
Aesthetically, sliding mirrored wardrobes enhance your room. They have an elegant and modern look that lifts the space. In addition to reflecting light of all varieties, their mirrored surface allows you to see the room you are in from different angles. This can complement the decor of your room.
3. Illusion of Larger Space
Mirrored surfaces naturally reflect the environment around them. They have been commonly used in interior design to add design flair to the room. This is because mirrors create the illusion that the room is bigger than it is. This effect can benefit all rooms, but it is especially beneficial for small rooms.
4. Increased Natural Light Reflection
In addition to making the room appear larger, mirrored surfaces can also enhance lighting within the room. This is because the mirrored surfaces reflect light of all varieties. This is perfect for filling your room with natural light, which is desirable for bedrooms of all sizes. The mirrored doors will also help enhance any artificial lighting in the room, adding a natural, soothing ambience.
5. Dual Functionality
One of the great things about mirrored doors is that they serve two purposes in one.
First, as a mirrored surface, the door acts as a mirror. This enhances the room aesthetically by increasing natural light and creating the illusion of a bigger room. They are also practical, enabling people to use them as a mirror to study and enhance their appearance.
Second, as a door, it fulfils all the desirable practicalities of a door. When slid open, it gives access to all the clothing and items within. When closed, it hides all the items from view, helping you to maintain privacy.
6. Easy Access to Wardrobe Contents
While traditional hinged wardrobe doors are perfectly functional, not all rooms have the capacity to fit them. Since they open outwards, in small rooms, you may not be able to open them fully due to other furniture in the way. This is frustrating and impractical.
The sliding mirror wardrobe makes it easy to access your clothing. The doors can be slid open with minimal effort, no matter how much room you have around the wardrobe.
7. Practicality and Convenience
One of the biggest benefits of a mirrored sliding door is its ability to be used as a mirror. This prevents the need for a standing or hanging mirror elsewhere in the room, making a sliding mirrored door a very practical choice. This is in addition to the benefits of making the room look bigger and spreading natural light.
The sliding nature of the doors allows you to access clothes easily, with minimal force expended on the door. This makes this style of door more convenient to use.
8. Reduced Clutter and Seamless Look
As an enclosed wardrobe, the mirrored doors effectively hide your clothing from view. This has the effect of reducing the cluttered look of the room. Conversely, the mirrored surface has the added benefit of making the room look bigger.
9. Versatility in Design Styles
No matter what style of wardrobe you like, there are options out there to suit you. Sliding mirrored doors feature on all sorts of styles of wardrobes, from modern to classic, so be sure to shop around to find the right one for you.
10. Customisation Options
If you want to use your space to its full potential, you can’t go wrong with opting for a custom built-in wardrobe. Given that these are tailor-made based on your space and specifications, you can choose the size, style and storage options. This allows you to customise your wardrobe completely.
With this in mind, you can easily request sliding mirror doors for your wardrobe.
