Door system options

It is important to consider all options for the classification of door systems, which is based on the number of mirrors used.

With mirrored inserts

Doors with mirrored inserts look very decorative. At the same time, they are not as easily soiled as continuous canvases and do not require careful maintenance. When choosing, special attention should be paid to the location of the inserts, as well as the material from which the doors are made.

Solid mirror sheet

Effective, modern, original. A solid mirror sheet significantly increases the space, as if continuing the room. The decorativeness of this option is beyond doubt. True, and caring for him should be appropriate.

Combined

Mixed or combined options are perfect for any interior. The variety of options for combining mirrors with the base material makes it possible to make the best choice.

How to care?

A wardrobe with mirrored doors or mirror inserts requires special care, because any speck of dust or speck will be visible on such a surface. It is worth taking into account the size, the placement of the inserts: for example, one surface will only need to be wiped once a week, while the other will have to be wiped clean every day.

If there are small children in the house, you can make the structure so that the mirror or glass inserts are at the top of the door. This eliminates the possibility that the child will either break or stain the glass.

To remove dust from the glass surface, you need a dry and soft cloth. Hard material can damage the glass. It is also not recommended to use abrasive particles. It is preferable to use special cleaners to avoid streaks.

Attention! Glass cleaner is not suitable for cleaning mirrors because it can cloud them.

Another simple and important tip is not to wipe with a dry cloth, as this can scratch the surface.

As an alternative to a special solution, you can prepare it yourself: 1 liter of ammonia is taken for 1 liter of water.

Important! Frosted and decorative glass and mirror are treated a little differently: you need to be careful not to damage it. It is the frosted glass that is the most "capricious", and it must be carefully processed, and once again not touched. You need to be more careful with glass, which has applications, patterns, colored film.

Separately, it should be said about the care of cabinets with decorative glass. For cleaning, you can use only fresh, low concentration soap solution, solutions based on mild shampoos or special cleaners for frosted glass. To apply the product, use a sponge made of foam rubber or a simple cotton material, microfiber napkins.

Examples in the interior

There are many options for interiors with a mirror. Using all the possibilities of this material correctly, you can create the desired effects in the interior, place accents, “play” with the space, visually changing it. Here are real examples that will help you determine your own preferences and create your own unique design.

Sliding doors with two wings are a great option for a small bedroom. It will eliminate the need to place clothes in different closets and will be a great addition to the interior. For a bedroom, you should choose a mixed version or an option with inserts.

For a room of a small area, mirrored doors in the form of an "accordion" are perfect. The advantage is the low cost, which is acceptable for any family.

Book-type swing doors are very easy to install and do not require a lot of square meters. As an additional decorative element, you can decorate the entrance with a massive door frame made of high quality wood.

When placing a wardrobe in the hallway, mirrored doors in the form of a solid canvas or a mixed look will also be appropriate. The most popular option is compartment doors, because it saves space, which is often required in the corridor. The atmosphere of the hallway depends on the decoration of the facade.

For a small room, it is worth choosing a sliding door with a solid mirror sheet to increase the space. You just need to prepare for the careful maintenance of such a structure and respect. For a larger area, you can experiment with gusset surfaces. It is practical to place them in the middle or upper part. When the room is spacious and light, you can give a flight of imagination and implement the most daring and unexpected solutions.

Life hack for a narrow and dark hallway: As a full-fledged alternative to a one-piece mirror sheet, you can offer to put facades with mirror mosaics on the cabinet door. The light from the ceiling lights will hit them, creating the illusion of increasing space.

As an original and bold solution for a large hallway, you can offer a corner wardrobe in a modern technological style or minimalism style. Such a wardrobe will fit significantly more clothes than a regular one. Therefore, this option is suitable for those who have a lot of clothes.

When choosing a corner dressing room, there is a possibility that it will look very massive, thereby overloading the space. And this effect is often not required. In order to exclude massiveness, it is necessary to alternate between closed and open boxes in a checkerboard pattern, or alternate matte and mirror surfaces.

So, mirrored doors to the dressing room allow you to create a stylish and modern design. The variety of options makes it possible to use them in any interior and in rooms with any size. Moreover, such doors are able to make the necessary accents in the interior.
