I’ve just sanded off the old paint from this built-in wardrobe, but I’m unsure how to proceed with the renovation. Three main things are bothering me:

1. There is a vertical wooden strip between the two lower doors, but there isn’t one between the two upper doors. This makes the wardrobe look visually unbalanced to me. Should I add a matching strip to the upper section, remove the lower one, or leave it as it is?
2. The inner corners of the lower door panels are rounded rather than sharp, square corners. I’m not sure whether I should try to change them or whether this is simply part of the wardrobe’s original style. If I keep the rounded corners, what kind of renovation style would suit them best?
3. There is a tall rectangular blank panel on the right-hand side of the wardrobe. I’m not sure whether it is an intentional design feature, a filler panel, or something else. Does it look awkward, and is there a good way to make it feel more integrated?

I’d like to keep some of the wardrobe’s original character, but make the overall design look more balanced and intentional. I’m leaning towards a warm, slightly vintage or country-style finish. Any suggestions would be appreciated ❤️
