7 ways to renovate your Sliding Wardrobe Door

It is true that sliding wardrobe doors can often be difficult to redecorate particularly when made of glass. However, this does not prevent one from wondering if it is actually possible to freshen up or refurbish a room’s sliding wardrobe door without having to buy a new one? Thankfully, in spite of the limitations often posed by the nature of these doors, there are still a good amount of options and designs that are available to renew sliding wardrobe doors without actually ruining them. Thus, this article will discuss 10 ways you can reinvent your sliding wardrobe door and give your living room, bedroom, or office the makeover it merits.

1. Add mirrors

Who would have thought adding mirrors to wardrobe doors could spice up a room? Apart from providing additional ways to check out your attires, mirrored sliding door panels tend to brighten up a room and give it more visual space thereby providing the illusion of making a room feel and look much bigger than it really is.

2. Paint it

Yes, it might get your hands dirty but you can give your wardrobe a dash of style by painting the doors. What’s more? Painting your wardrobe doors does not have to be bland either; for example, you could use stencils to make the doors more artistically interesting, or draw stripes across them.

3. Cover in wallpaper

Wall coverings can also be used to revamp sliding wardrobe doors. For example, you could use a self-adhesive, peel-and-stick, removable or temporary wallpaper like Tempaper to add some creativity to your room. Whilst doing so might appear to be quite simple and straight to the point, it also offers a good opportunity to be inventive.

4. Replace with shoji screens

Shoji sliding wardrobe doors originate from Japanese architecture and are made of translucent paper or plastic held together by wooden frames. This is also a viable option to traditional sliding doors when you need to redesign a room.

5. Disguise with film

Consider disguising your interior sliding doors with translucent, frosted or plain window film. Doing so can emphasise the desired theme of a room, personalise, change or even add more style to it.

6. Chalkboard

The use of (black or white) chalkboard paint is a great way to liven a sliding wardrobe door particularly in the children’s bedroom. This is perhaps the only wardrobe design facelift that will allow kids to have fun learning and interacting with sliding doors by writing and drawing on them.

7. Privacy film or spray

When used, especially on glass or mirrored wardrobe doors, privacy film or spray tend to add a completely different look and feel to a room.
