Mirrored doors – interior, entry, and sliding doors

Mirrored doors are an unconventional choice, yet a simple way to brighten up and make even the smallest apartment feel more spacious. They work well in both modern and traditional homes. Find out how you can incorporate them into your interior.

If you’re looking for a way to make your apartment appear larger, consider unconventional solutions, such as mirrored interior doors. Combined with other simple design techniques—such as the right color palette—you’ll quickly get rid of that feeling of being overwhelmed. Find out how to effectively use mirrors on interior doors, exterior doors, and closet doors.

Why Choose Mirrored Doors?

Using mirrors is one of the most popular ways to create the illusion of space where we’re short on room. It works well in any type of room, whether in exceptionally small apartments or larger homes filled with knickknacks that feel cluttered.

However, this solution isn’t as simple as you might expect. Mirrors themselves require wall space, which means you can’t place furniture or hang shelves there, limiting your storage options. Mirrored doors solve this problem and allow you to make use of space that’s usually left unused.

At the same time, you can easily hide the mirror on the door if, for any reason, you don’t want it visible all the time. Simply install it on the side of the door that faces the wall when the door is open.

Sliding doors with mirrors—where to use them?

Sliding doors with mirrors are an element of interior design—or home furnishings—that not only influence our perception of space but also help us save space in two ways. They work well not only as closet doors but also as a way to separate two rooms. However, while installing a door with a panel on a track is a complicated task, you can find a closet that closes this way in any furniture store.

This is the perfect solution for small bedrooms—a closet equipped with mirrored sliding doors can reach the ceiling, making the room appear much larger. This way, you not only gain access to ample storage space but also open up your space and add a sense of lightness to it. This is by far the simplest way to use mirrored doors.

How can you use mirrored doors to make a room appear larger?

Mirrored doors are just one way to make a room appear larger. They work particularly well in small rooms where privacy is also important. Other types of doors can be used where privacy isn’t necessarily the top priority.

Glass doors are an example of such interior doors. They’ll help bring more light into your home and, at the same time, open up the space while maintaining sound insulation. These are good solutions for rooms such as home offices or libraries, as well as entryways.

How can you make a room look bigger?

Of course, doors alone aren’t enough. When planning the decor of your house or apartment, you’ll need more than just strategically placed mirrors. If you’re decorating a small apartment or renovating a dark, oppressive house, focus primarily on light colors. White walls are a good foundation that will give you plenty of freedom in choosing furniture and accessories.

When it comes to the furniture itself, floor-to-ceiling pieces work best in a small space. Although this may go against our intuition, they’ll make the room appear taller. Ideally, they should be in light, natural colors that add a sense of airiness to the space.

The most challenging room in this case will be the bathroom, where your options for cabinetry will be rather limited. Here, it’s worth focusing on lighting, which can really make a big difference. Bright lighting will make the bathroom feel more open. Combined with a large mirror, it’s sure to work.

How can you make use of exterior mirrored doors?

Mirrors in doors serve not only a practical function but also act as decoration. This is especially true for entry doors, particularly those leading into the home. A Venetian mirror or glass elements will add character to the entire facade, whether you’re aiming for a more classic—or even rustic—look, or a more modern style.
