Designing With Sliding Wardrobes Accessories

08/12/2015

Your bedroom may not actually need a major redesign; it might simply need a few improvements to your current storage solution. There are many options for bespoke wardrobe solutions in Ireland. Are you using an old, freestanding wardrobe? Is your room spatially challenged? If your wardrobe itself seems to take up half the room and the space for storage has long since been filled, it’s time to consider installing a custom fitted wardrobe along the wall or in a corner, with sliding doors to save even more space, and cleverly hide all your things inside.

Sliding wardrobe doors are also a great solution outside of the bedroom, where they can be used as in kitchens, pantries, or utility rooms without losing room depth, as is the case when using traditional hinged doors. Sliding doors are mounted on a track that is fitted depending on how many doors you will have installed, the ceiling, and the layout of the room. Most sliding hardware is designed to support the full weight of the doors by the top track and hangers, so the doors can slide back and forth easily within the opening. There are also anti-jump clips to prevent the door from jumping out of the track. Sliding doors can also be mounted directly to the wall for a barn door style effect.

Take a moment and really think about how you will be using your sliding wardrobe accessories for the perfect fit. Are you designing for a bedroom wardrobe or a storage room in the kitchen? How often will you need to access the things you are storing? Knowing how you will use your sliding doors will help you in deciding which type of hardware and accessories will best suit your needs. Look to your local wardrobe experts for help designing a bespoke solution for your room.
