How can you brighten a small or dull bedroom? Adding mirror closet doors may be the answer. Mirrors reflect light, so adding closet doors that are fully covered by a mirror surface will make the room lighter and brighter, giving it the appearance of being larger than it really is. It can also be decorative in that it will reflect the beautiful furniture you have placed in front of the mirror closet doors.
Since closet doors will be handled quite often, and in the case of a child's room that handling may not be so gently, the mirror closet doors are often backed with a plastic film that will keep a broken or shattered mirror from falling out of the frame.
Mirror closet doors are available in trims and finishes that will match any style. The tracks are usually metal, either polished or painted to match the dˇcor. The frame of the mirror can be polished or painted metal as well.
Installation of mirror closet doors is not the difficult. Once you find the right sized replacement doors, you attach the track to run straight across the opening. This may or may not be parallel to the inside closet wall, but the final outside look is more important than the inside proportions. Once the track is installed on the above support and the floor, you hang the doors and you're finished.
Most building supply stores carry standard sized mirror closet doors. The Home Depot has standard sizes for under $250. If you're opening happens to be an irregular size, you will have to special order the replacement doors. Most suppliers can get these to you in a reasonable amount of time, usually a week. Special order doors generally cost more and are most often not subject to return, so make sure you have measured and double or triple checked those measurements before ordering.
Mirror closet doors can easily give your bedroom a brand new look without having to totally refinish the room. Making the space look larger and lighter, mirror closet doors will make the room a nicer, cozier place to live and relax.
