Modern Wardrobes with Sliding Doors

The first wardrobes were known as ‘armoires’ and were free-standing, very large and heavy pieces of furniture with lots of compartments and doors that opened outwards. These days, the modern wardrobes come with doors that glide rather than slide open at the mere touch of a finger. And there are no more doors jumping off the tracks and causing morning mayhem. These contemporary sliding wardrobe doors are precision manufactured, durable, and ultra-chic. The models with two doors are the usual style, but some manufacturers are offering three or more sliding doors. These doors do need more depth to accommodate the number of tracks necessary for them to function, but the usual two-door style only requires a track for each panel to slide across horizontally.

The Best Materials for Sliding Wardrobe Doors

 If your budget allows, only buy sliding wardrobe doors made from solid wood because the best WardrobesSolutions are made from medium to hard timber, which is durable and dense. Some of the less expensive materials used in the manufacture of wardrobe door panels are particle board and laminate, however, they don’t do well in the long-term because the wood swells and warps in damp or moist environments. The kinds of wood you choose when buying your sliding wardrobe doors will depend on what you want as the finish. For instance, if it’s a natural wood finish you want, as a match for your light coloured furniture, then try these:

Beech: This both elegant and robust.

Walnut: For a dark wood, try this timber which will complement both darker and medium-hued kinds of wood for sliding wardrobe doors.

Cherry: This timber has rich overtones of brown and red.

Mahogany: As with Cherry this wood has deep tones of red and brown.
