Mirrors are a versatile and timeless addition to any room, reflecting light and giving your room a bigger and more spacious feeling. Adding mirrors to a storage space lifts the aesthetics of the space.
First introduced in the Victorian era, mirrored wardrobes have come a long way, easily adapting to evolving styles and trends. It is one of the few types of fitted wardrobes that offers timeless elegance, which is one reason why mirror-fitted wardrobes remain highly popular among discerning individuals. In addition to their elegance, they also offer great functionality and that is perhaps another major factor behind their continued relevance in elegant rooms.
A furniture style persists for centuries for good reason. There is a range of benefits to mirrored wardrobes, starting from versatility to space-saving. Although they may not suit every bedroom style, they generally fit most decor schemes and are rarely ruled out. Ultimately, the timeless grace, old-world charm, and varied functionality make these wardrobes an ideal addition to most sophisticated households.
From being a modern and versatile addition to your space to adding to its functionality, fitted wardrobes offer many benefits including:
Wardrobes are essential to most bedrooms and in some cases, the whole room is designed around a designated area for fitted wardrobes. This can leave very little space for other things like dressing tables or a mirror.
Having the mirror on the wardrobe door makes an essential piece of furniture a dual-purpose one and helps save considerable space in modern households. At a time when most people are opting for minimalism in their interior decor, dual purpose serving furniture like a mirrored wardrobe is the ideal option for the modern individual.
Compared to ordinary wardrobes, mirrored wardrobes may come at an additional cost and some added concerns that we address below:
Wood is the most common material used in the making of wardrobes. Since time immemorial wood has been known for its strength, durability, and elegance. These factors make it the ideal choice for your wardrobe. Speak to our highly experienced experts to determine the type of wood that would be best suited for your wardrobe.
Mirrors, on the other hand, are easily damaged and even a minor blemish can alter its appearance. However, careful usage and regular maintenance can enhance the lifespan of mirrors considerably. It ought to be noted that mirrors do not require cleaning daily. Once a week would generally suffice.
There are several door options to consider when it comes to fitted wardrobes; two of the most popular being hinged and sliding ones.
Hinged doors swing open and offer full access to your wardrobe all at once. You can also swing open more than one door at a time if you need to.
Mirrored hinged doors with mirrors on both sides of the wardrobe door allow you to see yourself from the front and back at the same time.
Sliding doors are sturdier and require no space to open. In most cases, especially where sliding doors are chosen as a space-saving measure, you can only fully open one wardrobe door at a time.
However, the space-saving, modern aesthetics and stability (which is especially important with mirrors and glass) offered by sliding wardrobe doors are rising in popularity. While both choices present their own merits, you should speak to a furniture expert to determine the most suitable type of door for your mirrored wardrobe.
Most wardrobe doors can simply be cleaned with a clean damp cloth, but mirrors are different and will need to be cleaned with special care to avoid streaking and spots.
Mirrors are fragile and if not fitted correctly, it could be damaged due to frequent movement Fitted mirror wardrobes have an advantage here because they are secure and less likely to be broken or damaged while moving or rearranging the furniture.
To get the most out of your mirrored doors, clean them with specialised mirror and glass cleaners. Avoid furniture polish since it is generally oil-based and will leave streaks and blur the glass.
The clear benefits of a mirrored wardrobe make it an easy choice for discerning individuals. The disadvantages are easy to manoeuvre around, while the advantages can’t be matched by other types of wardrobes. However, there is still more to consider once you've decided on a mirror wardrobe for your residence.
The choice between fitted mirrored wardrobes and freestanding mirrored wardrobes is an easy one to make. You would need to choose between a wardrobe fitted with a fragile material like mirror and one without. Although mirrors aren’t likely to be damaged by daily use, they need to be treated with a degree of care so as to limit wear and tear.
