Eight Ways to Use Sliding Doors
As property becomes more expensive, space is becoming scarce in many homes. We look for ways that we can make smaller rooms and living spaces more spacious. Because they don't open out, sliding doors create a space that appears more extensive and significant. They also add a modern and sleek touch to any room.
Choose a walnut- or teak-effect sliding door for a subtle, chic look. Add a mirror panel to one of the sliding wardrobe doors to reflect light in the room. Fitted sliding doors can be placed in the alcove space to maximize space.
Pale wood sliding doors are a great way to divide rooms like a bedroom or en-suite bathroom. This creates a spa-like atmosphere with a clean and stylish division between spaces.
A mirrored wardrobe panel can double the size of a small bedroom. A freestanding wardrobe with sliding doors can be added to ensure they don't open out into the bedroom. You will need plenty of storage space, including baskets and additional shelving to store folded clothes and shoes.
Add colored glass to your bedroom or a high-gloss sliding door. You can use the space behind the sliding wardrobe doors to hang clothes or if you want to maximize the space in your bedroom. You can create divisions for accessories and shoes.
