closet doors

Closet Doors

In the 17th century, many kinds of cupboards emerged for different storage reasons including those that were used to keep clothes. These wardrobe keepers usually had two closet doors where the shelves lay within and the whole thing was made from oak. Usually, there were two drawers beneath the doors which completed the typical style of the old closets. Towards the end of the century, the oak wood was replaced by walnut and other kinds of wood that had different colors and textures that went with the new designs and styles.

In the Victorian era, mirrors became a trend in the world of furniture and fashion. Over time, mirrors have become a necessity for every closet that is built. There are designs that place mirrors in one of the doors of the closet, sometimes in both.
