Choosing wardrobe doors with a real wood-grain finish, but not the price! When done right, they read as modern and calm designs and are generally more user-friendly in day-to-day life than genuine wood.
Why wood-effect works
Natural wood is prone to dents, wear and tear over time in response to changes in temperature and humidity. For a wood-effect finish (often laminate or wrapped MDF), you get the appearance of oak, walnut and ash woods but are far more sturdy and cost-effective.

The perfect wood-look: Selecting convincing timber-effects
Not all wood-effects are equal. Some extra premium fabrics to keep an eye out for are:
A grain texture that is noticeable (so it does not have a printed-on look)
Pure colours such as ivory, warm peach or mid-grey
Minimal door designs (flat slab or slim shaker) that allow the grain to speak.
What to pair it with
Life in a new classic style combines elegant living with the rest of your home, and complements neutral tones for dramatic effect, surrounding wood-effect doors.
Cream or Greige Wall Colour: Warm Whites
Choose Your Finish: Black, Brushed Brass or Chrome Handles
Mix wood-effect doors with a painted finish (wood effect on the main run for example, and soft colour for the dressing unit) to alleviate concerns about being too brown.
Budget-friendly upgrade tip
If your carcasses are fine, a new door and handle set can make over the entire wardrobe at a fraction of the price and without ripping out the whole lot.
Warm and cosy, a real all-round winner as far as UK bedrooms go.
