wardrobe knob help
6 years ago
Hi everyone,
We have a built in corner wardrobe. I have to admit we didn’t put much thought into the design process or how we use the space so I won’t go into that as it’s more complicated to fix.
The issue is that if we put two handles on the corner it won’t open. I’ve been looking for flat handles that look nice. Or shall we just keep one knob on the one of the doors and leave the other one without a knob?
Any suggestion is much appreciated
Thank you all!

Comments (14)Agree with painting the doors, and the beading the same colour - either to blend in, or as feature - do you intend to keep the blue on the walls? Might be the opportunity to go mad and do the whole job in a modern colour, there are some lovely grey and light brown colours in Valspar, but use a gloss on the wardrobe and a soft sheen (not matt) on the walls. Also change the knobs on the wardrobes for something wow - how about silver or crystal?...See MoreRedecorating bedroom with fitted wardrobes - help!
Comments (10)We're all for a bit of hard work, and would definitely paint the cupboards. You are right not to use F&B, it's an inferior paint compared to dulux, and not correct for your purposes, being Eggshell finish. Dulux Trade Satinwood is far better, gives a better finish and is hardwearing. ( It's also more expensive than F&B i'm afraid, but you get what you pay for ). I'd paint the cupboards in a pale grey and replace the knobs. Give the area behind the bed a good dark grey finish, to help with making your choice of headboard really stand out.

Comments (10)Hello again Thanks for the carpet comment. I took a while to choose it, and had a moment (or ten) of self doubt, but it really does go perfecttly in the room. I cant find a tape measure so have taken pics to give an idea of scale -they're probably about 4cm square....See MoreBedroom wardrobe beading help needed please. Thank you so much!
Comments (16)Hi Maria That's a shame, I've worked with fitters in the past that put far too many fixings in which is great when it comes to it being structurally sound but I always feel bad for the people that have to remove it in years to come! In my opinion, if the 3mm is secured on with 'no more nails' and pins then I can't see how it would lose its rigidity. I would put a line of no nails along the surface of each groove (not inside the groove but the top part) then push the cladding onto it until it won't go any further (maybe even use a rubber mallet), then just some small veneer pins up up the edges and in the middle - Make sure the pin heads are buried slightly so you can fill the holes afterwards. The other advantage of 3mm is you can hide the edge of it much easier as you can just sand a bevel onto the edge which hides the joint. You wouldn't need MR MDF here either with it being in a bedroom, once it is painted it is sealed. I have done a similar thing in my bedroom where I clad an existing unit in 6mm MDF (not moisture resistant) and it has stayed in the same condition 6 years later....See More- 6 years ago
