Should I Choose Sliding Wardrobe Doors
Embrace the trend for clutter-free interiors by choosing sliding doors for your wardrobes.
If you’re planning to self-build or renovate, it’s well worth factoring in your storage needs right from the design stage. This allows your designer to create clever solutions that maximise storage while maintaining a spacious, open feel.
With the growing popularity of clutter-free homes and a flood of smart storage hacks on social media, it’s no surprise that homeowners want to ensure their homes have plenty of practical storage.
In bedrooms, especially, built-in wardrobes are a top choice for making the most of available space. Opting for sliding wardrobe doors can further maximise usable floor area, keeping the room feeling roomy and comfortable.
Benefits of Sliding Wardrobe Doors
Space-saving design: Sliding doors take up less space than standard hinged doors since they slide sideways instead of opening outwards, minimising impact on the surrounding area.
Customisable: Available in any length, height, and colour to perfectly suit your room and style.
Maximises storage: Often offered in floor-to-ceiling configurations, making the most of vertical space for added storage capacity.
Mirrored options: Mirrored sliding doors create the illusion of a larger room and help reflect light around the space—something rarely available with hinged wardrobes.
Child-friendly: Ideal for children’s rooms as sliding doors reduce the risk of little fingers getting caught in swinging doors.
Versatile use: Can also double as sliding partition doors, perfect for separating dressing rooms or walk-in wardrobes from the rest of the bedroom.
Can I Install Sliding Wardrobe Doors Myself?
If you’re a keen DIYer, sliding wardrobe door kits are available for self-installation. However, be sure to only take on this task if you feel confident in your skills—otherwise, it could end up costing you more in time and repairs. If you’re unsure, it’s a good idea to check with your supplier about professional installation services to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation.
Stylish Room Dividers for Modern Homes
While open-plan living remains popular, many homeowners are now seeking ways to section off their spaces. A glass room divider offers a stylish and practical solution, creating distinct zones such as a snug or home office without compromising natural light. This is especially useful in smaller homes where space and light are limited.
If light control isn’t a priority, consider creative design options like using different finishes on each side of the divider. For example, in larger bedrooms, you might separate a dressing room with coloured glass on one side to complement the bedroom décor, and a mirrored finish on the other side for practical use when trying on outfits.
Our made-to-measure sliding doors come in a variety of styles and finishes, including clear, frosted, and coloured glass, enabling you to effortlessly transform your space to suit your needs and style.
