It is easy to think of wardrobes as simply being a place to store our clothes, accessories, and shoes; however, a wardrobe forms an important part of your bedroom’s aesthetic. Wardrobes might feature either hinged or sliding doors, so let’s look at the pros and cons of each.

Existing wardrobes can easily be updated with replacement wardrobe doors; in fact, replacement wardrobe doors are a great way to give an old piece of furniture a shiny new lease of life.

Hinged doors

Wardrobes with hinged doors allow access to the whole interior of the wardrobe at once. They are ideal for tight spaces or corners, and it is easy to fit hooks on the back of the door; however, you need to bear in mind that there must be ample clearance for the doors to swing open, which is not ideal for tighter spots or cosy bedrooms.

Sliding doors

Wardrobes featuring sliding doors are a fantastic way of saving space; what’s more, they create a streamlined, contemporary look. The sliding door mechanism is usually smooth and quiet when closing, which can add to your home’s sense of peace and quiet. Another great feature of sliding doors is that you can seamlessly integrate that all-important full-length mirror.

On the other hand, sliding wardrobe doors can be more expensive to install. You also don’t have the option to view the whole contents of your wardrobe at once, as only one door covering one section of your wardrobe can be opened at a time.
