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.
