Mirrored Closet Doors

Mirrored closet doors are a great way to spruce up your space. They can make your room feel nearly twice as large, provide ample ability for primping and judging clothing combinations, and, in general, are more nifty than other kinds of closet doors. Along with the full-body mirror, a mirrored closet door will allow you to prepare yourself in the morning outside of your overly steamy bathroom. This is a particularly nice benefit for bedrooms with smaller attached bathrooms.

Style and Options for Your Mirrored Closet Door
Mirrored closet doors seem like a straightforward installment, but there are actually quite a few options to choose from. Chrome-tinted mirrors can add classiness to the quality of your mirror. A beveled edge puts a more decorative touch on your doors. You can also purchase and install mirrors of different thicknesses. A thicker mirror will create a sturdier door, but you may also need to upgrade your door hardware to handle the extra weight. These features may add a small amount to the price of your mirrored door, but many homeowners find the benefits well worth the extra cost.

Installing a Mirrored Closet Door
There are two basic ways to install a mirrored closet door. First, you can simply attach a closet-sized mirror to the door. This is usually the cheapest option. There are DIY assembly kits, but you'll need to be handy and take care during the installation so you won't have to worry about it falling off in the future. Even if you're not in the bedroom to hear your mirror fall and break, if you were the one to install the mirror the seven years of bad luck fall on you.

The other option is, naturally, to replace your closet doors with a closet door mirror. These cost more than affixing a mirror to your door, but they also look better. They offer more flexibility, as they can be built to any shape or style. Unless you have a strong desire to change your door style, it's best to retain your door design (sliding doors, double folding doors, triple folding doors, etc.) as you can usually keep your old door hardware.

Other Mirrors, Other Closet Doors
If you decide mirrored closet doors aren't right for you, it doesn't mean your closet doors have to be boring. Louvered doors are a beautiful, popular choice in spite of being difficult to clean and maintain. Simple paneled doors don't have to be boring, either. Ornately carved patterns can turn these doors into something beautiful. Less common fabric closet doors offer a limitless decorative flexibility, whether you want an intricate pattern or simply a striking color. A change of door hardware will also make a bigger difference than you might imagine. Pocket doors, for example, will add a distinctive touch, save you space, and spruce up the look of your closet door.

Of course, you may need to find a place to put a mirror if not on your closet door. Wall mirrors act as a functional mirror and a decorative wall hanging. If you have the space, vanities are great mirror and furniture combinations. These mirrors may not expand the feel of your room's size or offer a full-body mirror, but they have their own decorative benefits for your home.
