How to plan your new sliding door wardrobe

The unique thing about a sliding door wardrobe versus a mass-produced wardrobe is that you decide how you want your new sliding door wardrobe to look. Based on your own needs for clothing storage, space and area of use, we’ll put together a wardrobe that meets your needs. But what do you need to think about before you get started?

What style do you want?

You may already have a clear picture of what your new sliding door wardrobe should look like. But if in doubt, start by finding inspiration – use Google, Instagram or Pinterest to see images of design solutions. Take a look at our image gallery and reference projects, or visit one of our stores for more inspiration. Start with the style you have, or want to create, and bring ideas, photos, color samples or thoughts to the store, and we will help you define and draw your wishes. You can also contact us here to find out how to get the most out of your wardrobe budget.

Where should your new sliding door wardrobe be placed?

Are you placing the wardrobe where the old one was, just because there was one there before? Consider whether there are more options for placement, and new possibilities may open up. Do you need to use more space, or even less space? Perhaps you can make better use of the height under the ceiling or utilize difficult knee walls? It shouldn’t be too cramped in front of the wardrobe either, it should be easy to get to and easy to use in everyday life. Once you know where you want your sliding door wardrobe to be, you need to take measurements, and it’s important to be accurate.

Who will use the wardrobe and what should you store in it?

Take a quick look at your current wardrobe and ask yourself these questions:

• How much clothing do you have and what types of storage do they require?
• Do you have a lot of suits, trousers or dresses to hang up?
• Are you sharing a wardrobe? How much space do you each need?
• Is it just clothes that need to be stored, or should there be room for shoes, belts, bedding or other items?
• Should you store seasonal clothes in the same wardrobe?
• Is the wardrobe for a children’s room? Then it’s a good idea to remember that the child needs to be able to reach the rod, drawers and shelves they need.
• If you’re not fond of folding and folding, you may want to consider wire baskets?

Use these thoughts as a starting point when planning your new sliding door wardrobe, so that everything has a fixed place and you avoid everyday clutter.
