Tired of closet doors that haven’t been updated since 1980? Or maybe you’re just tired of the struggle to open swinging closet doors.

No matter the occasion, if you live in Toronto and you’re looking for an upgrade, Keystone Home Products has what you need!

Replace Swinging Doors

One of the most frequent reasons for closet door replacement is that the type of closet doors someone has isn’t what they want. Often, they have closet doors that swing outward and take up a lot of space. Trying to get into a closet that has swinging doors can be an ordeal. You have to make sure there’s enough floor space to accommodate the doors. If you live in a cramped room, that’s easier said than done. More often than not, you may end up wrestling with your closet doors and turning yourself into a pretzel to get to what you need on the shelf within.

Make accessing your belongings easy with sliding doors. Even if your floor is a mess, you can simply slide your closet door to the side, revealing the shelf or clothing rack you’re trying to reach. Additionally, one of the best parts of ordering sliding closet doors from Keystone is that we custom make closet doors. That means that no matter the size of your closet doorway, we can outfit it with sliding doors that fit perfectly.

Living with a small bedroom can be difficult. If you have the rest of the house to help you store things, that’s one thing. Sharing a space with others is a whole different story. If you share an apartment with roommates or share a family home, you know keeping everything you own in your room can be a real challenge. So, without further ado, Keystone Home Products is here to help you make your bedroom feel bigger with mirror bifold doors.

Reflect Light

One of the first things mirror bifold doors do to make your room feel bigger is reflect light. Small rooms can feel even smaller when they’re dark. Having mirrors in a space allows lamplight, sunlight, and any other kind of light source you have in your room to reflect. This means your room is easier to light up. A small lamp reflecting light off mirror bifold doors can make your whole room feel adequately lit. Thus, your room feels bigger.

Double Space

Reflecting a space back onto itself makes it feel bigger. This is because, looking into a mirror, you see the space available in your room twice over, making it feel twice as big. While this doesn’t actually give you more space to store things, it can trick your brain into feeling less cramped. This is why having mirror bifold doors will make your bedroom feel bigger.

If you want to do some cleaning that provides a similar feeling, try moving everything in your room toward the walls. If you have a walkway between your bed and the wall, remove it. Move any nightstands on that side of the bed to the other and push your bed toward the wall. Every bit of space that you move to be more toward the center of your room, the bigger it will feel. This extra space allows you more room to move around in, making the room feel less cramped overall. Plus, when you reflect a more open space, rather than a cramped one, the mirror doubling effects are even better.

View the Whole Closet

Mirror bifold doors have a special feature about them that standard, sliding doors can’t hope to compete with. Because they fold in half and open outwards, you’re able to see the whole closet at once. Sliding closet doors can tend to make small rooms feel smaller because they put limitations on what you can see all at once. Bifold doors allow you all the freedom of movement you desire. You’ll be able to comfortably look through your clothing without having to switch which side of the closet you’re looking at. That’s sure to make your bedroom feel bigger.

Full-Body Mirror Built In

Because our brains equate accessibility with comfort and space, having mirror bifold doors allows an additional comfort. Having a full-body mirror built into your closet doors allows you to try on new outfits and check them out easily. This ease of access is sure to help you with your sense of space.

If you have any questions about our mirror bifold doors or any other products we offer at Keystone Home Products, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.

A small space can begin to feel crowded very quickly. Every piece of furniture and every decoration that takes up blank space in a room contributes to crowding. If you’re like most people, you like to feel like you have a little breathing room in your home. That’s why it’s important that we as people come up with new and inventive ways of giving ourselves that breathing room. Sometimes breathing room comes in the form of optical illusions. Making your space feel bigger than it really is can be just the antidote for a crowded bedroom. Today, Keystone Home Products wants to let you in on how you can benefit from mirror closet doors.

Multiply Space with Mirror Closet Doors

The reason why mirrors are so useful for making a space feel bigger than it really is is because the mirrors are multiplying your space. A mirror reflect back all of the empty space your room has to offer. That means, when your gaze falls on a mirror closet door, the reflected space registers as being real. That means your brain is less prone to panicking because there’s not enough room to move around. It’s calming to feel like you have room to move.

Brighten Up the Space

The next thing that mirror closet doors accomplish is actually important for anyone who spends a lot of time in their bedroom. Even if you like things cozy, you can always benefit from better lighting. Whether that’s lamp-light or sunlight, pouring in through the window, your mirror closet doors will reflect it. Mirrors help brighten up a space incredibly well. Rays of light will bounce off a mirror’s reflective surface and bring light to even the darkest corners of the room. Combining mirror closet doors’ ability to spread light and multiply space, your room is on its way to feeling bigger in no time. 

More to Look At

It might seem like mirror closet doors are only effective at making a room feel bigger by spreading light and multiplying space, but there’s more – more to look at, to be exact. This is something that’s somewhat unique from the space-multiplying effect. When you have more to look at – when you can see things from a different perspective than you usually can when seated in one place, it generally makes a space feel bigger. If your brain isn’t running out of things to look at as fast, it’s more mentally engaging and feels larger. This effect will help to keep you from focusing on how small a space actually is.

Clean-Inspiring

Possibly a side effect of the last point, having mirror closet doors tends to inspire people to pick up after themselves more. Being able to see every corner of your room from a different perspective than you normally do can help with clutter-blindness. This can inspire you to pick up more. And, as we all know, picking up a space makes it significantly more spacious.

Mirrors are the one-stop-shop for opening up a room. They illuminate any area simply by reflecting natural light. With more light, and less obvious boundaries, any room in your house can be transformed.

Upgrade Your Home Office

Fitting one or more walls with a mirror will open up any space in your home. This is a great idea for rooms like an office. Especially if you do a lot of work from home, you know how easy it is to hit creative walls, or lose interest when you’re stuck in a dark room by yourself. With the addition of a mirrored wall, your home office can go from feeling more crowded than a cubicle, to become the light, inspiring space you need and deserve.

Maximize the Time Spent in Your Home Gym

Another great area in your home that can be enhanced with a mirrored wall is your home gym! What better way to motivate you during your workout than by making your home gym feel like a real gym? Exercise establishments almost always utilize the space defying hacks of mirrored walls, but they have more than one reason to use this design trick. Having a mirror in your gym allows you to watch yourself as you exercise. With a mirrored wall in your home gym, you’ll be able to watch your form during your workouts.

Make a One of a Kind Living Room

Many people think that having mirrored walls means you have to compromise on other design components. While you might not be able to hammer nails into the mirrors, there are plenty of unique ways to decorate a room with mirrored walls. You can easily use mirrored walls to highlight your favorite piece of art. Simply place the desired piece opposite of your mirrored wall, and let the wall do what it does best-reflect! This way, you can enjoy your pictures or art from multiples angles in the room.

You can also add photos or art to the mirrored wall itself, so long as they are light enough to hang from an adhesive strip. Placing plants in front of your mirrored wall is a great way to add a pop of color to your living room.

Use Smaller Mirrors for a Big Statement

If you watch any home renovation television shows, you know that one of the top concerns for homeowners these days is a large, open kitchen. This can be an expensive, and time-consuming project for many people. However, there are some tricks you can use to make your kitchen appear more open without knocking down any walls. Adding a mirror backsplash in your kitchen has a similar effect of adding a mirrored wall in other rooms. A mirrored backsplash is an easy, cost-effective way to open up your kitchen.

Practically any room in your home can be enhanced with the addition of either a mirrored wall, closet door, or backsplash. Mirrors can be installed in your home quickly, and with little hassle to you and your family.

Homeowners are always looking for ways to make their rooms seem larger, airier and more visually compelling and have been known to go to great lengths to achieve those goals. In reality however, there’s often no need to knock down walls or hire the most expensive interior decorator in Toronto. All it sometimes takes is mirrored closet doors. Installing mirrored closet doors in your bedroom is going to change the entire look and feel of the space in ways both subtle and overt. Below we’ll get into the many reasons to install mirror closet doors in Toronto homes.

The Many Benefits of Installing Mirror Closet Doors in Toronto Homes

Mirrored closet doors are going to alter the way the entire bedroom is perceived from the minute they’re installed. They will:

• Double the amount of space your brain perceives – As the mirrored doors produce a perfect copy (in reverse of course) of the bedroom your brain registers that the space is actually twice as big as it is. This is why so many elevators are lined with mirrors. It’s a trick that’s been known and employed by interior designers for centuries.
• Create a visually harmonious balance – Having a perfect copy of the room reflected in the mirrored closet doors creates visual balance. Everything in the room is visually counterbalanced by its reflected opposite. Even if you have been having difficulty creating balance in the room mirrored doors will often provide that balance all by themselves.
• Add a subtle sense of luxury to the room – By introducing mirrored doors into the room you’re conjuring up associations with the Palace of Versailles and a thousand other classic, opulent buildings that have employed mirrors throughout history to help create compelling spaces.
• Hide the actual closet from view – Closet doors without mirrors are just closet doors. They’re a visual dead end and there’s no way to spin them as anything else. Once you install mirrored closet doors however the visual dead end is opened up and the closet becomes invisible until you need to enter it.
• Reflect both natural and artificial light making the space feel more open – One of the many great things about mirrored closet doors is their ability to reflect light and make a space seem more airy and inviting. And this is true both during the daytime and at night when the lights are low and you can create compelling counterpoints with the reflected light.
• Provide you a way to check your outfit before going out – Not to be forgotten in the discussion about the many advantages of mirror closet doors on Toronto homes is the fact that they’re full length mirrors that will enable you to check your outfit from head to toe before you leave the house.

Mirrored closet doors are a sophisticated yet affordable way to enhance the look and feel of your bedroom. Contact Keystone Home Products on (905) 790-0997 and speak to one of our experts to learn more about our full line of classic and contemporary style mirrored closet doors.

Some people love them and some people hate them but everybody has an opinion, or so it seems, about mirror closet doors. If you are one of those people who really like them but you cannot decide whether they are really right for your home, this article is written just for you! In it, we will examine the various factors you need to consider in order to establish if they are suitable for your needs.

Are Mirror Closet Doors Right for Me?

Below is a list of the most important factors for you to consider, along with some thoughts on each one from our professional furniture consultants.

• The Location – While it might be safe to assume that you are thinking of installing them in your bedroom, this is not always the case judging from the inquiries that we sometimes receive. If you are considering installing mirror closet doors in any other room in your house, and you do not live alone, one of the most important questions that you need to answer is what does everyone else in your household think about the idea?
• The Size of the Room – Installing floor to ceiling mirrors is an excellent way to make a small room appear larger but it may not be the best choice in rooms that are very big in the first place. You especially need to consider whether your new doors will be opposite any existing mirrors because if they will be, this could create an effect on which you are not very keen. On the other hand, some people just can’t get enough as far as a feeling of space in their bedroom goes so if you are one of these people, go ahead and enjoy!
• The Interior Décor – Although there are no hard and fast rules as far as we are concerned, and there would be nothing to stop you from breaking them if there were, we feel that full-length mirror closet doors are more suited to contemporary homes than to period properties with a traditional décor. As we say, this is not a rule, just a suggestion and if you happen to live in a period property and adore mirror closet doors, you may still like the effect that they have on your bedroom interior.
• Maintenance – Although they are not particularly hard to keep clean, mirror doors, in common with glass shower doors, will start to look a little shabby if they are not wiped down every once in a while. For this reason, it is a good idea to have a word with your son or daughter about cleaning responsibilities before fitting mirror closet doors in their bedroom.

If you would like any help in choosing the right type of closet doors for your home, please feel free to call at any time. We also install high quality shower enclosures, along with various other fixtures and fittings, so we may be able to help you renovate your bathroom as well as your bedroom.

Remodeling a home can be expensive, time consuming, and stressful, creating disruptions to everyday life. Many homeowners decide it’s best to tackle smaller projects over the course of a year or longer, rather than do it all at once. If you’re considering re-decorating a bedroom or other area, one way to add style and a sense of space is through the addition of new mirror closet doors, or even renovating existing doors. At Keystone Home Products, our experienced and talented staff can help you choose the best options for installing new doors, or provide insight that will help you do the work yourself. Whatever path you take, there are a wealth of styles and features to consider.

Common Types of Mirror Closet Doors

If you comb through home décor magazines or visit home improvement stores, you’ll see there are many kinds of mirrored doors to choose from, with mirror closet doors being no exception. Here are the types we’ve worked with in the past that may work perfectly for your re-decorating project:

• Sliding mirror closet doors are available in a range of customizable specifications, including height and length, special finishes, and different types of glass.
• Bi-fold mirror closet doors can be purchased not only in custom sizing but in multiple panel quantities.
• Sliding full length mirror closet doors can also be ordered in custom sizes.
• Many homeowners opt for sliding mirror closet pocket doors that are available in a variety of sizes.

When you need to make a room brighter or appear larger, mirror closet doors are an ideal choice. In many cases, they’re also less expensive than other types of doors, depending on style, features, and dimensions.

Where to Install

If you’re interested in this kind of door, it’s always a good idea to take into consideration existing home décor, as well the type of room where the doors will be placed. For families with children and high traffic areas, mirror closet doors aren’t the best choice because of the chance of toys being thrown or run into them, or children accidentally falling into them and getting injured.

Small bathrooms that appear claustrophobic are ideal for these kinds of doors because they make the room appear larger; the same goes for small bedrooms. But remember, mirror closet doors aren’t just for bedrooms. Our designers can work with you by evaluating your home’s floor plan, and suggest areas that may benefit from mirror closet doors. It’s not unusual, for instance, for multi-purpose rooms – like a family room and home office – to be divided up with a built-in desk, filing cabinets, and office and computer equipment hidden behind a sliding or set of bi-fold mirror closet doors.

A Range of Styles to Choose From

Perhaps most importantly, homeowners need to consider existing décor and give some thought on how mirror closet doors fit in, and what finishes will go best with draperies, furnishings, carpeting, and other home features.

When speaking with customers, they’re often surprised by the range of options to choose from, but soon realize this can add more style to their home. Frames are available in wood – which can be stained or painted – aluminum, and even stainless steel. Chrome-tinted mirror closet doors are available, too, along with beveled or intricately designed edges for a unique decorative touch. Mirror doors can also feature glass of varying thickness, depending on the type of door and where it’s going to be installed.
