Case Study: Renovating Old Wardrobes with Sliding Doors
When it comes to home improvements, renovating old wardrobes with sliding doors can significantly enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your living space. This case study highlights the project undertaken by Form Function Wardrobes, where an outdated, bulky wardrobe was transformed into a modern, space-efficient piece using sliding doors and upcycled materials. Let’s explore how this transformation unfolded, showcasing our commitment to sustainable practices and innovative design.
Client Background
A couple residing in a charming tropical home faced the challenge of an old, imposing wardrobe that dominated a small room. They were after a solution that would modernise their space.
The Objective
The primary goal was to renovate the old wardrobe, making it more functional and less intrusive. The clients wanted to replace the old MDF shelving, which was fixed and caused a lot of dead space. They were also concerned that the formaldehyde content might have a negative impact on their health. They aimed for a fresher, cleaner look that would breathe new life into their bedroom.

Solution
During the initial consultation, as Carl discussed options for white sliding doors, an opportunity for up-cycling presented itself. The clients had timber louvre blinds that were damaged by their pet. Instead of discarding these blinds, Carl proposed repurposing the louvres in the new wardrobe doors. This approach was well-received, as it aligned perfectly with the clients’ desire to minimise waste.
Innovative Storage with Elfa Shelving
To tackle the storage inefficiency, we installed the Elfa shelving system within the new wardrobe framework. This choice was driven by our 30 year relationship with Elfa. And its reputation for modular and adaptable storage solutions. The new system not only maximised the available storage space but also allowed the clients to customise their storage configuration as their needs changed, adding further value to their investment.
The Final Outcome
The transformation was remarkable. The once cumbersome wardrobe was now a sleek, modern storage solution that enhanced the room’s overall feel and functionality. The up-cycled louvre panels, integrated into the sliding doors, added a unique aesthetic appeal, while the Elfa shelving offered versatility and increased storage capacity.
Clients Reflections
Reflecting on the project, the clients were thrilled with the outcome. They commented, “The new sliding doors and shelving haven’t just modernised our room; they’ve transformed it into a more stylish and adaptable space. We love the increased storage and the sustainable approach that was taken.
Conclusion
This case study from Form Function Wardrobes illustrates the transformative power of creativity and sustainability in home renovation. By renovating old wardrobes with sliding doors and embracing upcycling, we provide clients with not just a makeover, but a forward-thinking solution that respects both aesthetics and the environment.
