Bedrooms have never been so important, particularly since the advent of Covid-19. Most of us have been spending much more time at home with the family. This has meant the bedroom has become a place for working, respite, family togetherness and for binge watching the latest TV series on Netflix from between the sheets.
When considering what fitments to include in your bedroom renovation it is really important to carefully evaluate the space available. Many modern and new build homes are very well planned but, much more compact than older homes so space can be at a premium. One of the key considerations for your new room is whether to opt for normal hinged doors or a more contemporary sliding door.
One of the great advantages of sliding doors is the significant space saving opportunity they offer. With no outward opening mechanisms they can be placed closer to the bed or other furniture without obstructing walkways.
Another feature of sliding doors is that you can select a combination of materials to structure your doors. So you can create a really beautiful and unique combination that suits your style and decor. Textured surfaces can be combined with stunning glass or mirrors to provide a chic stylish combination. Again the reflective surfaces work really well in smaller rooms.
Generally sliding doors have a more contemporary feel about them. Probably all that sparkly glass and shiny metal runners. However, we are now seeing a trend towards more traditional doors such as Shaker style being incorporated. Whilst they sound like they shouldn’t work they actually do, giving a more characterful feel but with a contemporary twist.
Sliding doors are ideal for adding some recessed lighting for mood and ambiance.
