To help you answer this, check out our useful guide:
What Is A Sliding Door Wardrobe?
A sliding door wardrobe is a fitted structure, usually placed as part of a wall facade, or within a recess. This type of handcrafted furniture is made with precision and can be constructed from a range of different materials. Timber, plastic, metal, and even mirrors can be utilised to create a unique piece of joinery. The defining aspect of this type of wardrobe is obviously the sliding door, it can be opened and closed efficiently to create seamless access to your belongings without impacting the look of a bedroom.
Sliding Wardrobe Design Types
Metal
Metal is becoming a popular material for sliding door wardrobes due to its sleek and contemporary effect. Furthermore, it’s very strong, which is ideal if you plan on storing heavy goods within. It’s important to note that metal is also fantastic as a combination material, pairing it with timber, glass and even plastic can be effective if done well, so to make the most of your wardrobe, you don’t have to exclusively choose one product.
Mirrored
Mirrored sliding door wardrobes deserve an honourable mention for the illusion of space they create. They can be perfect for a small room, and what’s more, they even reduce the need for additional mirrors. Not only this, but if you have a mirror on the door, you can check out how your outfit looks as soon as your close the wardrobe.
Timber
Typically, timber is the most common type of material used for sliding door wardrobes. It comes in a range of styles and colours whilst being the easiest to manipulate for certain shapes and sizes. Additionally, it also creates a warm aesthetic, perfect for rustic homes. It’s regularly paired with glass and mirrors to compliment different interior styles.
Optimizing Space With A Fitted Wardrobe
One of the attractive characteristics of a sliding door wardrobe is its ability to fit and blend into a corner, wall, or recess of a bedroom. Often spaces like these would be left unutilised within a room, but with a fitted wardrobe you can optimise the space for functional purposes, whilst also creating a unique aesthetic. You can make the most of your sliding door wardrobe by choosing the perfect spot for it, and filling it with possessions in an efficient manner. Some examples of space optimisation could be opting for a selection of shelves, rails, and drawers to fit a variety of shapes and sizes. Additionally, you can choose to have it fitted between two columns to take advantage of unused space. Ultimately the opportunities are endless when it comes to sliding door wardrobes.
