Sliding vs hinged doors
Sliding wardrobes need no swing space, so they’re ideal when the bed is close to the wardrobe. Hinged doors give full access to the inside and cost less, but need about 2 feet of clear space in front.
Go floor to ceiling
Using the full wall height adds valuable storage. Keep everyday clothes at arm’s height and use the top loft section for suitcases, blankets and seasonal items.
Finishes that make rooms feel bigger
- Mirror shutters reflect light and double as a dressing mirror.
- Light colours — white, beige, light grey or light wood — keep the room airy.
- Handle-less or profile handles give a clean, uncluttered look.
- Glass or fluted glass panels on one section add style without heaviness.
Smart internal fittings
- Double hanging rails for shirts and trousers.
- Pull-out trouser racks, tie and belt organisers.
- Drawers with dividers for accessories.
- Internal LED strip lights that switch on with the door.
- A small locker or safe section.
Materials that last
Use HDHMR or plywood for the carcass, especially on walls that touch bathrooms or exterior walls, where moisture can be a problem. Laminate is durable and economical, while acrylic or PU finishes give a premium look.

Frequently asked questions
What is the standard wardrobe depth?
About 2 feet (600 mm) is standard for hanging clothes. Shallower wardrobes can work for shelves-only storage in very tight rooms.
Are sliding wardrobes more expensive?
Usually slightly more, because of the sliding track system and hardware, but they save valuable floor space in small bedrooms.
