Discover your favourite style
When you’re designing a fitted wardrobe, you can’t go wrong with the tried-and-true styling of plain white. But never be afraid to experiment with colours and different looks. The joy of going bespoke is that you can tailor everything down to your personal tastes, whether that’s choosing a more unusual finish or picking just the right handles.
For those looking to try something outside of the norm, we’ve put together 14 different built-in wardrobe door ideas , so you can get inspired to create the stupendous bedroom space you’ve always wanted.
1. Shaker doors done differently
Shaker’s a classic, that’s undeniable. But you can do more with it than just sticking with the regular neutrals. If you want a look with contemporary flair, why not choose the calming natural tones of Willow Green?
Refreshing, rejuvenating. Willow Green wraps your room in a tranquil, nature-inspired blanket, creating a space where you feel uplifted just from stepping inside.
And it works with so many interior schemes too. From cottage cosy to eclectic, Willow Green pairs up with Shaker to blend the best of old and new.
2. Make it luxe with mirror panels
Fitted wardrobe doors like our Hampton range just exude style and refinement. And it’s all down to the detailing. This distinctive 4-panel style brings a traditional look right into the modern age. While it’s already gorgeous as-is, one way to make it a statement design is with the addition of mirror panels.
Perfect for dressing rooms or master bedrooms where you want a high-end boudoir feel, the bevelled edges of the mirrors offer an added lustre to the finished aesthetic, calling to mind cut diamonds and crystal. Simple yet elegant, it’s a mirror wardrobe door style that leaves a lasting impression.
3. Go modern with Urban Concrete
Sometimes a statement finish can bring a room together. And for this we’re introducing you to Urban Concrete from our Fusion range.
Unconventional yet highly chic, it’s tailor-made for high-concept interiors.
Stone finishes can be very grounding in your design and is another way to add a natural element to your space.
So, if you want something that can be both dramatic and calming at the same time, this is a great go-to option.
4. Penta Mid sliding wardrobes
Sliding wardrobe doors are the epitome of sophistication and are a superb option if you’re looking to get a little more creative.
What’s so fantastic about them is that they come in a wide range of door styles which you can customise with mix and match finishes, allowing you to make something highly personalised to your space.
And for our first look into sliding wardrobes, check out these gorgeous Penta Mid doors. Designed with three thinner panels at the centre, they create a striking focal point for your finished wardrobe design and look especially stunning with glass or mirrored finishes.
5. Be in your element with Nordic Oak
Wood finishes are such a mainstay of home decor but even more so for bedrooms, where they add a touch of zen tranquillity to your surroundings. And this is what our Nordic Oak finish does so well.
With its warm tones and tactile grain texture, it creates the feeling of being one with the elements - perfect if you’re trying to create a Scandi or Japandi style interior.
If you’re all about elegant minimalism, Nordic Oak is the one for you. A wardrobe door style idea that creates clean, serene bedroom designs with ease.
6. Sink into the depths of Midnight Blue
Is there anything more luxurious than the deep, rich tones of Midnight Blue? This regal finish has been such a popular addition to our range of colours, creating captivating bedroom styles with an opulent ambience.
Though it’s a striking look, you’d be surprised at just how flexible it is to work into different home interiors. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer the traditional look of something like our Sherbourne range, or want the crisp lines of a slab-front door.
Midnight Blue enfolds them in its majestic feel. And here’s a tip - pair this finish up with Brushed Brass knobs and handles to give it a warmer contrast.
7. Handleless designs keep things simple
Handles aren’t mandatory, though. If you just can’t stand to have anything break up the look of your fitted wardrobes, why not try a design that dispenses with them entirely?
Handleless wardrobes look absolutely superb if you’re going for a slab-fronted look like our Manhattan or Element ranges, and really help to give your chosen finish maximum visual impact.
Instead of knobs and handles, they use a push-catch mechanism to open and close, which is what allows them to have a super pared-back look. Just give the door a gentle press and it opens to reveal all of your storage.
8. Accentuate height with long handles
For rooms with high ceilings, bring out their best by adding long, vertical handles to your fitted wardrobes.
It’s a fantastic way to accentuate their linear look, drawing out their height and offering an elegant focal point to your finished design.
Our Sienna handles are a fantastic option for this type of aesthetic, with their Satin Steel finish complementing fresh neutrals and modern interiors.
Or for a more opulent look, why not pair up our Alana handles in Brushed Satin Brass with a Slate or Graphite finish?
9. Glass sliding wardrobe doors
Wanting a more unusual design for your sliding wardrobe? Try a single-panel glass finish.
It’s a hugely underrated look, offering style, glamour and an extra bit of shimmer into your bedroom space.
If mirrors seem a bit too glossy for you, glass is a fantastic alternative, offering low-key elegance that can enhance any dreamy bedroom space.
Make it dramatic and moody or soft and feminine - there’s plenty of colour choice to personalise yours to perfection.
10. Embrace traditional style with Ascot
You might think traditional styles are the exclusive province of period properties but not so. While naturally fitted wardrobe doors like our Ascot range are the perfect fit for older homes, they can also be given a more contemporary feel by pairing them up with an on-trend colour.
By blending them with colours like Slate, Graphite or Midnight Blue, it gives these ornate door styles a more transitional quality, straddling old and new to create something with stylish appeal.
It just goes to show, there’s always room to get inspired by the classics when you give it a modern twist.
11. Go dark and brooding
We’re all familiar with bright neutrals but what about the other end of the scale?
Yes - you can pull off dark fitted wardrobes, and they add a wonderfully cocooning sensation to your interior design, swathing your space in calming deep tones.
Don’t be afraid that it’s going to create a visual void. As long as you add contrast with pale walls or large statement fittings, you can enjoy their dramatic dark influence in any home.
Fantastic for dressing rooms, make sure to match them up with black handles to complete the full effect.
12. Mix things up with inlaid panels
A standout feature of our Pure fitted wardrobes is their unusual optional inset glass or mirror panels, drawing inspiration from Italian design.
Ultra-sleek and sophisticated, they use clean, crisp lines to add interest to the whole composition.
Ideal for avant-garde bedrooms and lovers of minimalist style, our Pure range proves that you don’t need ostentatious style to make a statement.
13. Triple Wide sliding wardrobe doors
Going back to sliding doors, how about this stylish little number?
Our Triple Wide style doors use larger panels at the top and smaller panels at the bottom to create a kind of accent strip, where you can use different finishes for a captivating customised design.
And while we’re at it, we thought we should also mention that we do 11 different door styles for sliding wardrobes with 24 beautiful finishes, so it’s never been easier to find the right combination for your space.
14. Dazzling gloss finishes
Love a shimmering finish but don’t want a mirror or glass? Then go gloss.
The brilliance of gloss will reflect more light into your space and give your fitted wardrobes an added accent, softly helping to illuminate your bedroom interior.
Check out our Cosmopolitan range for this chic finish, where its White Gloss design injects a fresh feel into contemporary homes.
