Sliding Closet Doors

Sliding closet doors are one of the most common types of closet door around today. The main advantage of having these types of doors is the convenience and accessibility to clothing and whatever else is behind them because the doors fold in and thus do not get in the way of what you are looking for inside. If you lead a busy life, consider this style of door to help save time.

Many people do not think about what is on the outside of their closet, they are only concerned about how much room they have on the inside. The door is one of the most important aspects though because it is what complements your entire bedroom. That is why sliding closet doors are such a good idea because you can find some very well designed doors.

If you have a long walk in closet then sliding closet doors would be an excellent addition. One concern people have with these style doors is that they are afraid the doors will come off the rails and they will not be able to re-attach them. If the doors are properly installed then you should not have a problem with them coming off the rails. Some poorly installed doors or some lesser quality doors will perhaps squeak quite often when sliding.

When researching the available sliding closet doors you would be better off getting as good a quality door as possible if your budget allows for it. Preferably, look for one that comes with silent rails and a damper system so that the doors do not slam into the door jams.

What type of sliding closet doors should you purchase? Some come with mirrors on both halves. This is a good choice if you happen to have a smaller room; mirrors give the impression of a larger room. Another advantage of this style is that you will be able to see yourself from head to toe, as this is important for many professionals who have to dress in business ware. Another choice of glass on the doors is frosted or smoked glass, which offer a different look.

Another option for your sliding closet doors is to choose a wood finish or a wood laminate finish. If you choose wood then your doors will be quite a bit heavier than the laminate choice. However, for sheer beauty then wood is the much better choice as most laminate does look a little cheaper.

Regardless of the style or type of doors you choose, you should do your research, both online and offline. Keep an eye out for any sales at your local home supply centers. This type of purchase may best be done at a brick and mortar store rather than on the internet as you will need to do some measuring and maybe even some adjustments will need to be made at the home improvement center or hardware store where you have made your purchase. Another option to consider is a second hand building supply center. You can find some very good deals on doors, windows and building materials that are in good condition.

Design Ideas For Bedroom Closet Organizers

How Closet Doors can influence how a room looks. Choosing the right doors, depending on the size of the room.

Just because you don't notice your closet doors, don't think that they don't have an impact on how the room looks. A darker door can stand out, a light door can blend in, and of course, mirrored doors have their own unique look and influence. Even after you have decided upon the your bedroom design ideas, make sure the doors are well crafted to open easily and widely enough to give you full access to the contents of the closet.

The first step in choosing your closet doors is deciding what you want your bedroom furniture to look like. You don't want to mix styles here, since modern looking bi fold doors of metal or Formica would never complement a bedroom set that is in the Italianate style. Beautifully carved doors, in the same tone as the wood of the furniture, would be the right choice here. The idea is that the closet doors should blend in with the decor of the furniture, not clash with it.

Besides the style, you have to concern yourself with the color of the closet doors you have chosen. You will most likely have chosen the colors of your bedroom before the furniture, or the closet doors, so make sure that the color choice goes with the color as well as style of the closet.

The space that the bedroom projects is another important consideration in choosing the closet doors. If you want to add the look of spaciousness to a room, choose mirrored doors, which can make a room look much larger. If you have closets that are small, and you want to be able to use each inch of space, bi-fold doors allow you fuller access to the interior of the closet. You can even get closet doors that slide open or closed with a remote control, if you like high tech interiors. For further space savings, these doors can slide into the walls and not even intrude into the room. For the truly high tech among you, how about speakers that automatically blast a great sound each time you open the doors automatically?

So if you are considering very specialized custom closet doors, the main issues to address are theme, color and space. After that, you can get fancy with extra touches, but the first and foremost thing to consider is that your closet doors work well for you and don't make things harder rather than easier.
