Sliding vs Hinged Fitted Wardrobes: Which is the Right Choice for You?

When planning the design of your fitted wardrobe, choosing the right doors is a big decision, especially whether to go with sliding doors or hinged doors. Both options will provide excellent storage regardless, but the usability of your fitted wardrobe will be impacted by the wrong choice. Ultimately, your room layout and personal preferences will determine which door type is right for you.

Sliding Fitted Wardrobes

Sliding fitted wardrobes are ideal for modern homes and smaller bedrooms, because the doors glide sideways, so they don’t require additional floor space to open. The benefits of sliding fitted wardrobes are vast:

• They’re perfect for narrow or compact rooms where space efficiency is essential;
• They have a sleek appearance which is particularly good for contemporary homes;
• Large, mirrored door panels are a popular choice which make it multi-functional;
• Their smooth sliding mechanisms give a good quality feel.

Hinged Fitted Wardrobes

Hinged fitted wardrobes offer full access to the entire interior when doors are opened. This makes them ideal for larger rooms or homeowners who prefer a more traditional style for their interiors. The benefits of hinged fitted wardrobes are also huge:

• You have complete visibility of the items in your wardrobe for easier outfit planning;
• They offer classic styling options, which is great for traditional homes;
• They’re easier to maintain since there are fewer exposed moving parts and there are no tracks to clean.
