Hi all, in her infinite wisdom SWMBO has decided to decorate our bedroom (as
if I haven't enough to do with the toilet, stairs, drive, garage etc, etc).
At the moment we have built in wardrobes along one wall (built by the last
owner who was a chippie) but they are looking their age. The doors are plain
finished and, frankly, boring. At some point when I get near the bottom of
her majesty's wish list I suppose I'll get round to ripping them out and
replacing but for the time being any suggestions on how to smarten them up?
There's 6 large doors at the bottom approx 6 ft tall x 18 inch wide and 6
small doors above approx 18 inch square. All suggestions gratefully
received - probably!
Regards, Richard.

If they are sliding then Stefek's suggestion is the best, assuming them
to be solid. If they are hollow this won't work and if they are plywood
you will have to paint them to hide the layers. Unless of course you
manage to do it to make them a 'feature'. You could drill in from the
back to check.

If they are hinged then slap some mouldings on to make them look like
panel doors. Even with this way you can wheedle a router table out of
the missus, after all she won't want boring standard mouldings from the
sheds will she? with router table you can make custom mouldings.
