How to restore old fitted wardrobes?

If you want to restore old fitted wardrobes, there are plenty of options to consider, from minor cosmetic updates to complete replacement fitted wardrobes made-to-measure for your room.

Here are five ways to restore old fitted wardrobes and get your room looking on-trend and at its best again.

1. Replace wardrobe handles and hinges

Wobbly old wardrobe handles can be replaced in minutes, so if your wardrobe carcass and doors are still in good condition, this is one of the fastest and easiest fixes.

Hinges are a little harder to get right, but a correctly hung wardrobe door makes a world of difference, so if you're not sure how to re-hang your wardrobe doors, call in a professional.

2. Replace wardrobe doors

The next step up is to fully replace wardrobe doors without altering the carcass. You could get new doors hung on more modern, well-oiled hinges to improve operation as well as aesthetics.

Replacement sliding wardrobe doors are also an option. Remember to match the width of the doors to the dimensions of your wardrobe's interior shelves, so you get full access to your storage space depending on which door you open.

3. Replace wardrobe interiors

We have a wide range of wardrobe interior systems, combining shelves, drawers, hanging rails, shoe racks and more.

You can restore the interiors of your old fitted wardrobes with new rails, racks and shelving, to give you the storage space you need without significantly changing the wardrobe shell.

However, for a more contemporary look and even easier access to your garments, consider removing the front of your wardrobe completely, and opting for an open-plan wardrobe interior system that will add to the sense of space in your room.

4. Wardrobes for awkward spaces

Fitted wardrobes are a great way to make good use of difficult spaces and when it comes to updating, repairing or replacing them, a specialist can help.

At Stylish German Bedrooms we can supply replacement corner wardrobes and sloped ceiling wardrobes, so whatever space you're working with, we can provide something to fit.

5. Fully fitted replacement wardrobes

Sometimes the best option is to rip out old wardrobes and start again. This way you get full control over the carcass size and shape, interior storage, doors, handles and other finishing touches.

Again, we have an extensive range of bespoke wardrobes to choose from, so you can restore your room's decor to an aesthetic that works for your current tastes.
