How to Refurbish or Update Existing Wardrobes

Inside the wardrobe can be unfinished (the most economical option) or painted or covered with wallpaper. Usually it is coated with melamine (since this is an interior, there's no point in investing in natural wood when high-quality melamine resins that imitate it are available). In trend is the fabric effect in various shades. Traditionally, for the interior color of a wardrobe, soft tones are chosen.

Different Surfaces on the Wardrobe

Although usually the same surface is chosen for all wardrobe elements, during renovation, if you choose doorless modules, it will look aesthetically pleasing to combine two different surfaces: one for the 'box' of the wardrobe itself and another for drawers and shelves, as in this example of a wardrobe.

Internal Organization of the Wardrobe

This is about maximizing the use of existing built-in wardrobes. One idea for updating is to redistribute internal wardrobe space so everything fits conveniently. To do this, measure the existing space and arrange it so that clothes fit on hangers or fold onto shelves depending on the type of clothing.

With a Mezzanine

The upper part of the wardrobe integrates into the design with a door that goes from floor to ceiling, opening the front part for access to an attic or luggage compartment, or—like in this case—as a double door: one for easy access and another for the luggage compartment.
