Perhaps they never went away… A new batch of designs gives these features a clean, fresh look that channels the modern and the elegant. And if the mirrors end up looking a bit retro, is that really a bad thing?Today we round up 12 stylish spaces that feature mirrored closet doors, proving that sometimes a little reflection is actually an asset! In fact, not only do mirrors add the illusion of space, they reflect the sunlight and create a sense of depth in a room, which can be ideal for more compact interiors. Not to mention, they can celebrate the grandeur of a large space, channeling a decadent vibe that adds a sense of fun and majesty to your home. Read on and check out the mirrored images that follow…As you scan through the images that follow, don’t forget to note the style evoked by each set of mirrored closet doors.

For example, in the hallway below, we see how mirrored doors create an undeniably clean-lined modern look. The secret: the doors are not bordered by heavy metallic trim. It’s all about the mirrored glass! [from Carver + Schicketanz]In the next featured space, we see a look of sheer sophistication. A tiled floor, chandelier-style lighting and other architectural elements contribute to the glamorous feel, and the mirrors add chic reflective shine. [from E.N.D. Designs Inc.]We see another clean-lined closet solution in the image below, this time in a compact entryway than definitely benefits from the illusion of space created by mirrored doors. Not a lot of room? No problem, especially when reflection can create a roomy feel! Speaking of space-enhancing qualities, we couldn’t resist profiling the helpful use of mirrored closet doors in the bedroom, where a sense of roominess creates an overall tranquil feel. This can be especially important in compact spaces like the one below. Note how a series of six mirrored doors visually enlarges this modern room.

[from Susan Diana Harris Interior Design]Clean is the word–it’s hard to deny the clean, modern look of simple closet doors, like these selections from IKEA. Note how they reflect the warm, modern accents of the bedroom below, from the comfy bedding to an angled wooden ceiling. [from Flying Dormer Home Remodel & Additions]Then again, mirrored closets can also convey a sense of large-scale grandeur!

The space below proves that brushed metal edging and a nearby brick wall can combine to evoke a modern feel that is upscale and a bit “factory chic.” Contemporary lighting and side tables help cement this edgy contemporary look.  [from Matt Harrer Photgraphy via Houzz] …And when the mirrored closet doors lead into another closet, the result is wonderfully expansive. From the look of the bedroom reflected in the glass, this is a space with a view. It makes sense to maximize that view with a reflective wall of mirrors that can keep the cityscape alive across the room! [from Melbourne Contemporary Kitchens]Why put mirrored closet doors in the bathroom? Because they create a strong sense of spaciousness, they reflect the light, and they often enhance the shine of other typical powder room surfaces, such as tile. When a mirrored closet door combines with marble and floral wallpaper, the result is elegant and even charming, as shown below. There’s nothing more modern than a mirrored hallway in the bathroom, especially when crisp whites and cool metallic tones are involved.

Simple, pure, and bright–the perfect mood for a room that should inspire you to rejuvenate and refresh. [from DRAW Architecture via Houzz]It looks like we’ve come full circle, folks! Yes, sometimes within a closet you have another series of closet doors. And mirrored ones at that! Because when your closet is as big as your living room, what’s the harm in a little excess, right?! Below we see a sophisticated space from Abramson Teiger Architects. Loving the bright lights and the surrounding shine, aren’t you?!We end with a glamorous space from Habachy Designs, complete with feathers, a tufted ottoman and a chandelier.

Whether you’re renting a place or you’ve bought your home, perhaps you’ve come across sliding-mirror closet doors. In fact, often this feature is seen as outdated–a holdover from the glory days of ’80s design. As someone who loves adding 1980s touches to my interior, I’ve never shied away from mirrored closet doors. And I’m not the only one. Yes, folks–they’re making a comeback!Today’s post features 10 rooms with mirrored sliding doors. All of these spaces are stylish. Whether the doors are from the past or they’re brand new, my hope is that they will encourage you to take a fresh look at a truly interesting design feature. Not only do mirrored closets make a room seem bigger, they reflect the natural light, adding brightness to your space. When it comes to closets with sliding mirrored doors, by far the most popular area in the home for this feature is the bedroom. I first encountered a mirrored closet door in the small bedroom of a condo I rented. While it looked a bit outdated in a carpeted bedroom with crown moulding, think of how amazing a mirrored closet door would look in a modern bedroom like the one below?

[from Valerie McCaskill DIckman via Houzz]Notice how the frame of a mirrored door can really set the tone for the space. While many mirrored closet doors from the past feature metal frames (some in gold tones), the white frame you see above and the red one below create an entirely different vibe. So does the barn door-style sliding mirrored panel in the next featured image. [from Alexander Butler Design Services, LLC barn doors on a track]It’s funny how people often think that mirrored doors are outdated–yet wooden closet doors can look equally out of place, especially when they feature old hardware. Aren’t the clean lines of the mirrored closet doors below the perfect embellishment to this modern bedroom? [from House & Homes Palm Springs]Check out the minimalist style of the bedroom below. It’s hard to imagine any closet option for this space other than the sleek mirrored doors that so perfectly capture the room’s no-fuss spirit. Interested in a similar look? Consider the custom solutions offered by Metro Door Aventura.Don’t think that mirrored closet doors are only for modern bedrooms.

The eclectic space in the next featured image seamlessly incorporates mirrored doors, thanks to painted white trim that brings out the room’s brighter features (such as the quilted bedding). [from Spectacular Design Interiors]Mirrored closets in the bedroom make sense. But it’s also fun to consider using this feature in places where you’d least expect it. For example, look a little closer at the entryway below. Aside from stunning modern artwork, to the right you’ll find sliding mirrored closet doors. Why not reflect the neon colors of the hanging canvases?! [from Dana Nichols via Houzz]Remember the bedroom above that featured a red-framed barn-style sliding mirrored door? In the industrial kitchen that follows, we see a similar look, but this time the mirrored door stylishly conceals a walk-in pantry. Definitely not the norm…which makes this feature a true standout! I couldn’t end this post without featuring a few powder rooms that incorporate mirrored closet doors. And I certainly couldn’t leave out one of the most common mirrored door scenarios for homes built in the 1980s–the sliding mirrored closet door lined in brassy metal (below, left).

I happen to think this feature could work in a room that incorporates mixed metals, such as silver and gold accents. But I’m also aware that a large number of people would prefer to update a mirrored door situation when gold tones are involved. An update is just what we see in the next featured image. The space definitely looks brighter and more modern in the “after” picture (below, right), don’t you think?! [from Audrey McEwen Architectural Designer and Photographer]Everything seems to fit perfectly in this light, bright bathroom. Especially those closet doors! [from Alexander Butler Design Services, LLC]Speaking of light, bright powder rooms, the space below is a vision in sky blue. And that vision is reflected in the sliding closet door framed in crisp white. The thick white border that frames the mirror makes sense in a room with white tile and trim. The lesson here: Let the details of your space guide you in your closet door decisions. from Leonard Grant Architecture via HouzzStill convinced that mirrored closet doors are a thing of the past?
