Having a dedicated wardrobe space in your bedroom is a luxury, especially if it's a walk-in closet. Being able to hide away your clothes, shoes, and accessories means that your bedroom can be a clutter-free sanctuary, while still storing all of your necessities nearby. However, a plain closet door can be boring and a bit of an eyesore. 

Rather than sticking with a regular door, try replacing it with a decorated sliding door that conceals your wardrobe and doubles as a stylish, functional feature. All you're going to need is the door of your choice, which will come with its unique hardware and track to attach it to, a drill to screw the hardware into place, and a spirit level to make sure you hang the door in the correct position.

When it comes to concealing the sliding door, you can screw sheets of panelling on top of it, like these Wood Finish Accent Panels from Amazon, to create a modern design feature. Then, add a full-length mirror on top of the panelling for a convenient getting-ready area that also conceals your walk-in closet.

First, you want to install the top track above the door opening. Make sure to use a spirit level and measuring tape to hang it straight and at the right height. Carefully secure your sliding door onto the door track. You may need a second pair of hands to help you do this, as sliding doors can be heavy. If you plan on painting your sliding door or attaching panelling to it, do this before hanging, as it'll be a lot easier.  

Of course, to be able to install a sliding door, you've got to have wall space on one side of the opening to ensure there's enough room for the sliding door to fully open and close, so do keep this in mind beforehand. Once you've hung your door, there are lots of fun ways that you can customize it to suit your bedroom decor. Installing wood panelling over the top will create a rustic look and will add texture to your bedroom — this would definitely be a trendy addition. Or, if you'd like to conceal your sliding door with a functional element, then adorning it with stick-on mirrored panels, like these Adhesive Mirror Sheets on Amazon, would be a fantastic option.
