The wardrobe is a critical storage area of the home, and as such, access is vital to ensure you make the most of your wardrobe space. Whether it’s floor-to-ceiling access or a sleek metal sliding door system, there is huge potential to incorporate on-trend designs to complete the bedroom aesthetic and develop an easy-to-access storage area.

How to choose the best wardrobe sliders 

Contemporary wardrobe sliding doors are on-trend at the moment with a growing demand for personalisation and bespoke doors. Wardrobe sliders are a great way to save space in smaller rooms, and as we continue to move towards more compact dwellings, the humble wardrobe slider is more popular than ever. 

Choosing the best wardrobe sliders for a room will depend on a number of factors. Firstly, space. Is there room to accommodate a sliding door system? If yes, the style, size and finishes come into play. 

Mirror wardrobe doors are a coveted option in small spaces as they help to create the illusion of space, while more intricately designed doors with grooved or textured finishes can add a dynamic visual aspect to the bedroom. 

Barn-style wardrobe doors are also on-trend at the moment with their rustic appeal offering an interesting addition to the contemporary bedroom. 

Styling wardrobe sliding doors

Styling wardrobe doors can be a great way to add another layer of depth to the bedroom decor, with colour, texture and pattern. In some cases, even the height or width of the door/s can create an interesting visual dynamic. In small rooms especially, selecting doors that reach higher than required can accentuate the height of the ceilings and increase the sense of space in the room.

To brighten up a room, consider a wood sliding door painted in a contrasting hue to the walls to add a pop of colour. In industrial or sleek contemporary settings, metal, aluminium and glass sliding doors can be a great option to add a modern allure. 

When to choose bifold or bi-folding wardrobe doors

A bifold door is a door made up of two or more panels that open by stacking together to one side of the opening, creating a wide-open space for easy access. In most cases, bi-folding doors are best suited to larger and walk-in wardrobes in rooms with plenty of free space around the wardrobe.
