Mirrored Wardrobes: Our Guide to Getting Them Right

 

Do you ever say, “I wish I had more storage space” or “I don’t have anywhere to put my stuff”?? If so, we have the answer for you. A mirrored wardrobe is a timeless piece of furniture that can add style and function to your home. A mirrored wardrobe is a high-value addition to your room and will enhance the space with style.  This post is all about mirrored wardrobes and the benefits of having one.


What Is A Mirrored Wardrobe?

Mirrored wardrobes are practical, classic, and space-saving storage in any home. Whether you prefer a standard hinged wardrobe or one with contemporary sliding doors, mirrors add functionality. A mirrored sliding door wardrobe is an excellent choice for those who want to give their bedroom a complete look. It provides a sense of luxury as well as practicality and security. Mirrored wardrobes make rooms look more spacious, creating the illusion of a larger area. The mirrors add depth and dimension to the room and build a sense of positive energy. There's no denying that mirrored wardrobes are stylish. But what's even more impressive is how versatile they are.

Whether you're looking for a sleek and modern wardrobe for your contemporary home or a more traditional option for a more classic space, a mirrored wardrobe will suit your needs. Be sure to choose a material that will complement the rest of your furniture. Wood is traditional, while metal and glass are more contemporary. Do you need to hang a lot of clothes? Or need a place to fold clothes or store handbags and shoes? Think about how you will use the wardrobe before purchasing one. Consider the size and dimensions of the room you will place it in. Make sure the wardrobe will fit in the space but also have enough room to open the doors and still move around the room. Whether you're looking for a functional piece of furniture or a stylish accent to your bedroom, a mirrored wardrobe mirror is a great choice.

 
 

Which Spaces Are Best Suited For Mirrored Wardrobes?

One of the many benefits of having a mirrored wardrobe is that you can put it just about anywhere. It doesn't always have to be in the bedroom. Any room that doesn’t have a lot of natural or artificial light would be an excellent room for a mirrored wardrobe. Dark hallways, bathrooms, living rooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens are some rooms that could use the extra storage space that a wardrobe provides. Mirrored wardrobes can be very beneficial in a small bedroom, providing vital storage and clearing away clutter without taking up too much visual space. The mirrors will help you feel less cramped in the small room. The mirrored surfaces allow the bulk of the wardrobe to disappear while bouncing daylight around the room for a brighter feel.

Do you work from home? A mirrored wardrobe would be a beautiful place to house your computer, paperwork, printer, and office supplies. The wardrobe would look like an impressive piece of furniture to your guests, who would never know your home office tucked away inside.

Do you like to entertain? A mirrored wardrobe could double as a bar cabinet in the kitchen, living room, or family room. The wardrobe could have built-in wine bottle racks, shelves for glasses, and drawers for appliances like a blender, shaker, and ice bucket. You could also use a wardrobe as an extra pantry in the kitchen or laundry room. Any room without a closet would be a good place for a mirrored wardrobe. Do you need a place to store your china and serving pieces? A mirrored wardrobe would dress up and make your dining room a luxurious space while acting as a storage unit. Mirror wardrobes complement any room regardless of the colors in the room. They are sleek, modern, and look stunning. They add class to your room.

DIY Mirrored Wardrobe

Wardrobe. It’s one thing to have a closet in your bedroom. It’s another thing entirely to have a large and well-organized closet. If your closet space is a mess of clothes, shoes, and accessories, these DIY wardrobe closet ideas can transform your chaos into harmony. You can buy a closet system from any well-known retailer to build a simple wardrobe and install it to change your one-shelf closet into a multi-functional wardrobe.

When buying items to make the wardrobe, purchase real wood over manufactured materials. Natural wood will be durable and long-lasting. Drawers that have wooden fittings versus glue and nails are more stable.

Depending on your preferences, you can get any wardrobe framed door design in any color to enhance the mirrors on the doors. Ensure you measure the space available for the wardrobe and the doorways and stairs to make sure you can move the wardrobe. Hinged doors usually occupy space since they swing outwards while sliding doors save space. If you have a small bedroom and choose hinged doors, you will need to plan the position of your wardrobe so that the doors can open fully.

Lacquered glass is popular for adding glass to the door panels. It's a decorative glass with a protective layer to ensure durability. Other glass options include frosted, transparent, tinted, or even painted glass.

You can customize the type of handle or knob you want from sleek stainless steel handles, classic door knobs, or even luxe leather-finished handles. Or, just keep them handleless.

Our Favorite Mirrored Wardrobes.

Since mirrored wardrobes are a long-term purchase, weighing every aspect of the wardrobe is wise. Various factors go into purchasing a wardrobe, such as color, style, material, and the type of wardrobe doors. Here are a couple of our favorites:

Wood Wardrobes With Full-Length Mirrored Panels-A mirrored wardrobe design is an excellent option for small homes or if you have tiny rooms. The mirror panels on the wardrobe instantly open up the room, giving an illusion of a larger space. The mirrored surface allows the bulk of the wardrobe to disappear while reflecting the daylight around the room for a brighter, warmer feel. A classic wooden wardrobe with a modern twist is an excellent option to add a touch of elegance to a neutral background. If you prefer the rustic style, you could have sliding wood barn doors on your wardrobe. Try to match the wood of your wardrobe to the other wood furniture in the room.

White Floor-to-Ceiling Wardrobes With Mirrors-White wardrobes with full-length mirrors complement a house's sleek, modern, contemporary look. There is plenty of storage space in a classic floor-to-ceiling wardrobe. It provides a sense of luxury as well as being practical. You can’t go wrong with a white mirrored wardrobe. It would add a touch of class to any room.

Multifunctional Wardrobe Units With Mirrors-By combining swing doors, sliding doors, and shelves, this wardrobe becomes multifunctional. It can be a storage space, study desk, and mirrored dressing unit. Multipurpose wardrobes are designed to accommodate hanging and folded clothes and accessories like belts, scarves, and jewelry. The sliding mirrored doors save space and make the room visually appear brighter. You can find these wardrobes in a variety of colors and shades. A colorfully painted wardrobe could become the focal point of your room.  This post was all about the benefits of having a mirrored wardrobe.
