Can a hideous wardrobe be transformed somehow?

That round mirror looks exactly like one my mum had in her old house, dating back to the 80s or 90s.

Why isn't yours now yellow?

The light levels are probably different, the more light hitting it, the more affected it gets.

Aha! I have found the mirror foil! Thankyou. I will consider this with the other ideas.
What colour door knobs are fashionable these days please?

Forget fashionable trends, go for what is pleasing to your eye, we're in a grey-trend period and i, personally, loathe it, it looks grubby and dirty but it's definitely fashionable.

It is true, I have always been a magnolia type of person as I find it makes the rooms look like they have an internal light switched on somehow.
I must concede however, that some regard it as ‘nursing home chic, with a side of prosthetic limb’ as someone once noted,
It is a good job I am not overly sensitive and do not regard myself as Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen!..Probably more Jim Bowen asthetically!

Indeed. I learned a lesson when I painted a large hall and stairwell a fashionable colour. Every mark eventually meant that the whole needed re doing.
I discovered magnolia could be touched up with no fading or change of paint colour and I became a fan.
Love to see other peoples creations though.

I think the room looks fine. Smart, modern and lovely view. 
Remember however much effort you put in it will never be someone elses taste. You have to do it for yourself.

I think the original design of the wardrobe was a take on French Classic which fitted the theme popular a few decades ago.
Using that search shows the wardrobes are now being fitted with mirrors.
