The perfect sliding wardrobes for 2022 and beyond

Let's literally take a 'Sliding Doors' moment.

If you know anything about John Damien, you'll know we're referring to the wardrobe, not the film. And in recent years, these 'wardrobes on runners' have received a little bad press.

You might be imagining a couple of rickety doors that slide 'most' of the time, and when they do, they reveal the clothes-crammed space behind, with a mountain of shoes piled up across the bottom.

We're delighted to say we can successfully challenge that view! Take a look at our newly refreshed fitted wardrobes range; sleek, stylish solutions that look fantastic and fully maximise interior space.

There are plenty of reasons why sliding doors are the best choice for your wardrobe, here are just a few…

1.     They are space-savers.

Let's start with the fact that sliding doors take up less space than hinged doors, and if you're living in a small apartment or house with limited space, it can be a real benefit. Unlike traditional hinged ones, you don't need as much floor space to keep all your clothes and accessories organised with sliding doors.

2.     They provide the best access.

Because sliding doors open on tracks, they don't take up much space when closed and can be placed in tight spaces where other types of doors would have difficulty fitting. They allow more freedom around your wardrobe, so it doesn't feel closed in or compacted. In addition, you don't have to worry about having enough clearance to open the doors and access your clothes.

3.     They are suitable for all sized rooms and requirements.

They are suitable for small and awkward spaces as well as large ones. Even if you have a tiny room or a strange-shaped alcove, sliding doors can help you overcome this. On the other hand, if you have a large room with a walk-in closet or a master bedroom, sliding doors can help make the most of the space by maximising your storage capacity.

4.     They are perfect for modern bedrooms.

Sliding doors are perfect for modern bedrooms because they open up to reveal a room that's clean and minimalistic. They help create a sleek, stylish look that will make your bedroom feel chic and contemporary.

5.     Creating the illusion of a bigger and brighter space.

Sliding doors make your room seem bigger and brighter — specifically when they have built-in mirrors or are painted in a light colour. This creates an airy feeling that helps make rooms feel larger than they actually are, especially if you live in an older-style home with small windows.

6.     They can be used as doors for unused space.

Sliding doors are also great for hallways, bathrooms, and other areas that you might want to close off from rooms. They are also helpful in creating separate rooms within a larger room, such as an office space inside a bedroom or hallway.
