Sliding
The classic reborn, sliding wardrobe doors have become something of a staple for many modern homes in lieu of the free-standing and hinged alternatives. With the array of colour and material options being available for the sliding variants, it is hard to look past them as a simple, elegant, and useful solution for an interior look.
The variants in sliding systems have also allowed an endless tirade of possibility for adjustments and unique implementations. In terms of space saving, you can’t go wrong as the intrusion of more traditional alternatives can impede a smaller interior space whereas a sliding set of wardrobe doors can easily be implemented without sacrificing spacing.
Hinged
The old reliable and dependable option for those who like a little bit of authentic old-school in their interiors. Hinged varieties are among the most popular choice around the world, not only for their unique aesthetic and varied options, but also with their ability to be locked and overall versatility.
The traditions are traditions for a reason, they’re a beloved addition to any home and can bring back some roots of tradition if implemented correctly – bear in mind that they can be quite bulky and cumbersome for smaller homes so always measure out twice and install them in areas where the full breadth of opening is possible.
Mirror
The spatial saviour is without a doubt the mirror wardrobe doors. These add new layers and dimensions to the space with absolute ease and allow for some breathing room and visual flair that would otherwise be impossible in smaller spaces. The mirror look has always been a staple of modern homes and has become quite impressive in its ability to reflect light and enhance the size perception of any given space with no effort.
