Help with wardrobe doors please.
I have a walk in wardrobe with doors that have been too heavy and weren´t secured properly to the wall. They have been attached with small wheels at the top and nothing at the bottom. They have been taken off so the room can be painted but my husband is not happy about putting them back up in the same way. We don´t particularly like the doors and this would be a good time to change them, but I´m not sure what we would change them for. Ideally I would like glass, but I´m worried about the weight. Either side of the wardrobe, in the wall is a solid pillar, but the area that you can see is not solid at all and the walls here feel very thin. Plyboard maybe. Looking at these, I don´t like the curved design on the glass panel or the height of the door which seems too tall for the opening.I would really love some suggestions for both design and fixing if possible please.

Comments (7)You could do one of two things:- Either wallpaper the doors in the same paper on the feature wall. Wrap the edges and then give a good coat or two of water based matt varnish, to help protect the paper. Or, place mirrors on the doors to match in with the bedside tables. You need to remove the knobs, fill the holes and paint, re-drill the hole for one knob as presumably you took a long handle off and rather than replace with one handle, you put two in, which looks a little odd!Here's a door and drawers that i wrapped with the owners paper....See MoreWardrobe door ideas - please help I’m stuck
Comments (12)Yes I did look at these as would have gone for something like that for sure if I could only find a contemporary version that wasn’t frosted glass - if anyone has seen any please do shout! emily, a carpenter friend of ours suggested Louvre doors - it maybe an option. I think I’m so hung up on the nice grey glossy sliding wardrobe doors I wanted that anything else isn’t matching up! If only I could get a grey glossy door in that barn style the previous person posted about I’d be a happy bunny! Thanks ever so much for taking the time to give your ideas...See More7 doors fitted wardrobes.. symmetry?
Comments (23)Hi Minnie There will be drawers in the double wardrobes on the either side of the triple wardrobe. so I don't really need to have them on the outside. I like the idea of the 4 panel mirrored wardrobe doors but I also like the shaker style door aswell see pic. i agree with you I should have the glass inside the panels and have the frame around the door . I'm wondering will I have the same effect if I have the 3 centre doors in the Shaker style with the panel and glass inside?? similar to the 4 panel mirrored doors. thank you...See MoreIkea wardrobe doors - anyone got any nice ideas?
Comments (13)You could ask a timber merchants to cut sheet material to the size of the door - perhaps birch ply which could be stained, varnished or painted. Alternatively, a company with the ability to cut and edge band a finished panel (e.g. Egger) - Cutlist are one company. This option gives you many options. In either of the above, you will need to use a forstner bit to create a hole for the hinges without going through the face of the door the other side....See More

We were in exactly the same situation when we moved into our current house - with two bedrooms having had previous DIY wardrobes installed!!
An inexpensive way to a solution, would be to choose doors you like and buy them and then get the fittings from a company called ironmongerydirect.co.uk. They have every fitting you can think of - I have used them for a spare bedroom. I attach a photo- although you may want to go more modern!
