There’s no place like home and whether yours is a rented shoebox with damp stains, a 10 bedroom country house with a tennis court, garden flamingos or a penthouse suite with floor-to-ceiling windows and rooftop pool, it’s important to make your home somewhere you feel comfortable.
With this season’s key trends involving metallics, textures, natural elements and marble, its also proving popular in bedroom design. It saw people introducing marble and metallic accessories into their home to create a model feel which also provides a contrast to understated freestanding and fitted bedroom furniture.
Refreshing the trend for 2017, stark metallic items are still a key piece to this style that’s evolved, with people trying to achieve a softer ambience.
Marble style items give a contemporary and clean finish when paired with metallic pieces as well as a feminine flourish which includes natural elements like house plants.
Transform your home into a retreat with metallic items, textured materials, marble pieces and natural plants. These finishes are bound to make a bold style statement as well as the metallic reflecting the light’s brightness. Small accessories like vases and candle holders can incorporate these trends within the bedroom in more subtle fashion.
Metallics can be understated but will still give a bold and modern trend due to the industrial feel, so it’s important that your existing furniture or new furniture has a minimalistic style.
When selecting your new fitted wardrobe, choose a simple wardrobe design that incorporates contemporary and clean lines. Our Reflex and Domalti fitted wardrobes are great for this trend, the crisp white door fronts and chrome effects will provide your room with a fresh and contemporary finish as well as a understated backdrop for your new interior pieces.

Are your clothes' rails dropping and are you desperately in the need for more storage space in your wardrobe? Then don’t worry, you aren’t the only one struggling with this chaotic messy wardrobe.
Take a look at these top tips for an organised and manageable wardrobe layout…
Clean and write a list
Make the job easier by making sure that the space around your wardrobe is clean, that way you’ll prevent clothes from getting dirty. Before taking all of your clothes out of your wardrobe, it doesn’t hurt to make a list of how many items you require. Make a decision on how many shirts, blouses, or shoes to keep a hold of. You may end up having fewer things to choose from but you’ll undoubtedly become more creative and better at combining things in new ways.
Clean your wardrobe
Now take your clothes out of the wardrobe, sort them into different piles, for example split them into the following categories…
Keep – use your list as a guideline
Store – pack away seasonal clothes (for example summer and winter), choose practical storage boxes and baskets for easy storage of seasonal clothes, underwear and shoes
Throw away – Get rid of worn-out clothes, that are beyond repair or clothes you have not worn for one or more years
Give away or sell – pass on any clothes which no longer fit you or which you bought by mistake
Invest in wardrobe storage
After the hard work of sorting and tidying-up all your clothes, it’s time to design your new wardrobe, if it is a minimalist and a clean look that you are after, you could choose a white or brightly coloured wardrobe, if you are looking for a romantic, rustic style, the alternative is a wooden wardrobe for a cosier ambience.
Whatever style you are after, in most cases you can say that a bedroom without a wardrobe is like a sitting room without a sofa. The two are inseparable, so choose a wardrobe that matches the décor of your bedroom. There are many options for creating a unique and personal style, spend sometime coming up with different ideas about that style would suit you best when selecting a wardrobe.
Organising the wardrobe with fixed places
Whether you are the minimalist, colourful, vibrant, creative or romantic type, this all makes easy to keep an overview. Allocate the areas for your clothes, whether it’s on particular shelves, in drawers, a sock drawer or an area for accessories. Get some coat hangers to protect your clothes and allow your favourite frocks and fancy jackets to hand as decoration on a decorative clothes rail.
Have a good tidy up
Then enjoy what you have created, fresh new energy in your wardrobe, so make sure your consistent and tidy and clean your wardrobe frequently. Introduce good tidying up habits and stick to the rules of wardrobe storage and fixed places for your belongings.

You might have already removed your all sliding doors in preparation for your new doors arriving, which is great if you have. If you haven’t, you will obviously want to remove these before you set about installing your new sliding doors.
The installation process can be as easy or difficult as you want it to be. You can try and do everything yourself with no help or you can do your research, listen to others and make life easy for yourself.

Thanks for reading. We hope you enjoyed learning about how to give your existing wardrobe a makeover with new sliding doors.
In this edition, we take a look at how to see if a sliding wardrobe will fit in the space you have at home.
Measuring Up
Whether you already have a sliding wardrobe that you want to replace or you are looking to introduce a new sliding wardrobe into a space you have at home, it’s important to consider whether your new sliding doors will fit.
There’s a step by step process you can follow to ensure you purchase the right doors that will fit perfectly into the space you have earmarked for new sliding doors.
Step 1: Understanding how to measure
Firstly, you will need to measure the opening heights and widths at the five separate points indicated on the diagram below.
RECOMMENDATION: Do this at a distance of around 620mm (62cm/25in) from the back wall. This will leave plenty of space to store your prized possessions. You will leave space to introduce a storage system if you wish to do this too.
The minimum door widths for all made to measure doors is 550mm. We have listed the maximum door widths below:
Maximum opening height of 2480mm.
Maximum opening width of 4555mm.
In some cases, the house itself can cause problems. If the measurements in A, B or C aren’t equal, this usually means your ceiling isn’t fully parallel to the floor. A difference of up to 25mm will be allowed for by your track-set, although if the difference is greater than this, your ceilings or walls may need to be adjusted to suit. See 1b, 1c and 1d.
Step 2: Establishing how many doors you need
Now that you understand how to measure up and the minimum/maximum widths of made to measure doors, you need to have a think about how many doors you need to create you sliding wardrobe.
Providing your door of choice falls within the sizing dimensions in step 1, then you can have as many doors as you like. The measurements of the doors might differ slightly based on the number of overlaps that will be required, but this is something we can calculate for you.
Additional support: Should you wish to use 900mm wide drawers from our Aura or Alutec range as part of your wardrobe interior, you’ll need to make sure the doors are at least 930mm in width. This will allow the drawers to be opened comfortably when your doors are slid open. This also applied to any other interior products that you may wish to use as interior storage that needs to be pulled outwards.
An example of a 4 door wardrobe based on an opening of 3500mm can be seen below. The conclusion of x4 875mm doors was reached by assessing the opening to establish how many doors could feasibly be created. X3 1166 doors would be possible, as would x5 700mm doors, but x4 is the logical option based on standard door sizes.
Step 3: Combining different panels
Once you know how many doors you are going to need for your wardrobe, you can play about with our wardrobe builder to create your own unique look using different frame finishes and panels. Within each made to measure door, you can use up to 4 different panels.
The Sliding Robes Direct made to measure door range has a large selection of panels than ever before. By combining frame finishes and panels, you can design your own wardrobe to look exactly how you want it to.
So there you have it; an informative guide on how to see if a sliding wardrobe will fit in your bedroom at home. We hope you find it to be useful as you look to introduce or replace sliding doors in your home.
If you need further support, feel free to contact us to talk more about our sliding wardrobe doors and our ever-growing range of products.
Before selecting your interior doors, it’s vital to get your measurements right, you should make sure that you remember to measure the frame itself rather than the existing doors.
Frame width
In total you should take three different measurements of the doors width, one from the top, one from the bottom and one from the middle of the door frame, the widest of these three measurements determine the width of the new doors.
Adjustments
Allow space for any floor coverings and remember that doors can be planed but not made any bigger.
After you’ve take your measurements you can then compare them with the types you need in your chosen style. At Sliding Robes we offer a bespoke service so we ensure you’ll find something great to suit your preferences.

When it comes to buying a new wardrobe, most people will agree that they’re equally important as a sofa or a bed, however according to recent studies, 61% of us don’t have one in our bedrooms.
Further research has shown that over two thirds of people, this mainly includes first time home buyers, use temporary clothing rails instead of a wardrobe. This tends to make sense as a lot of people moving into their first home will use basic furniture, the ‘essentials’, to get by.
So when it comes to purchasing a wardrobe, in more recent times, it’s not a simple as going into your nearest shop and buying a wardrobe. Nowadays there’s a lot more aspects to consider and wardrobes are seen as an ‘investment’.
Here’s the top things to consider when choosing a wardrobe…
Space
As much we would all love a walk-in wardrobe, a lot of us simply don’t have the space for something as luxurious in our homes. Even though this is out of the question, it’s still great to work out how big your wardrobe is going to be. You then need to consider where abouts you’d like your wardrobe to be placed. It’s also important to work out how your other furniture will fit in the room with wardrobe and if there’ll be enough space.
Types
Now that you know the size of wardrobe that you’re looking for, you can start thinking about the type and style you’d like. From fairly plain and simple basic designs, to more grand styles, there’s a variety of options to choose from and you’re bound to find something to suit your needs and your preferences.
You can also consider the storage space inside, whether you require hanging rails, shelves, racks and hooks, or combinations of them.
Sliding door wardrobes are a popular choice for people without a lot of spare space, interiors of sliding door wardrobes can also depend on the size and design, they have spacious hanging rails and they can be divided up into more than one section, shelf space and with drawers along the bottom.
Budget
A wardrobe is probably the second most important piece of furniture you’ll have in your bedroom, after your bed, and buying a wardrobe doesn’t have to be costly. When you’ve decided how much space you’re going to need and what type of wardrobe you’d like, the next step is to consider your budget.
At Sliding Robes, we work with your preferences and your budget, we aim to make sure we provide a durable stylish and spacious wardrobe that is value for money.
We know as well as anyone that when choosing sliding wardrobes for your home, they’re an investment and you want to make sure you’ve made the right decision.

And breathe! We have had an amazing time completing a large contract in London. It wasn’t like any ordinary sliding wardrobe installation for a home with one set of doors, but in fact over one thousand doors have been delivered to this project. It’s been well worth our hard work and dedication to the development as the finish result is brilliant to see. The team at Sliding Robes Direct would like to share this project with you and hope that you love the results as much as we do.
Over many months we have been delivering sliding doors to Tidal Basin Road in London to help a development. In total we delivered an outstanding number of 1264 doors to this project and every single door has had the same high quality and time it deserves to ensure that we have maintained our top standard quality. After all, our sliding doors are not only representing the business who contracted us with these doors, but us too. This means that it is especially important to make sure that we’re both presented in the right light and that our sliding wardrobes are of a high quality.
Showing Off
Below you can see two examples from the completed contract we finished in London. Both are equally as impressive as the other, and can be adapted to suit any style or colour. We at Sliding Robes Direct hope that you like the look we went for, and although the rooms are currently empty you can image how spectacular they will look once they have been fully decorated…
Choosing The Doors
Having worked within this industry for over 30 years, we have a clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t. For this kind of development, having mirrored wardrobes was a must, so that it would fit into all 1264 styles of room. For example, one person may go for a contemporary look to the room whereas another may opt for a certain colour. So in order to make it work, it was best to go for a mirrored door to each room in appose to a coloured or certain style.
We really enjoyed completing this contract and it has been a pleasant experience being able to supply so many doors at once. Sliding Robes Direct would like to thank the operators of this development for choosing our doors and also putting trust in us to supply over 1200 doors at a continuous high standard, which we did!
Did you enjoy reading this update? Why not give it a share on social media? We’d really appreciate it. Any feedback of our work is extremely important to us too.

Having trouble with storage? Perhaps you’ve got too much going on behind your wardrobe doors. Don’t worry, Sliding Robes Direct are here to help. Here we have 5 of the best hints, tricks and tips on how to organise your wardrobe. We hope that this helps with not only with organising, but improving the amount of space you work with too. So here it goes...
1. Colour Co-Ordinate
Try to colour co-ordinate your clothing as this will help with both organising and finding your clothes. For example, if you’re looking for a red top to go with your jeans, you know that you have a selection of red tops located at the right of your wardrobe. So everything becomes much easier and arranged. You will find that this helps with organising your wardrobe too as when everything is arranged by colour, you will know exactly where everything is.
2. Bring Your Most-Used Items to The Front
By bringing clothing which you regularly used to the front will not only save you time whilst getting ready, but it allows you to manage your wardrobe successfully too. This can then be rotated for Winter or Summer periods but will allow you to keep your most favourite or most used clothes in easy storage.
3. Fold Where You Can
Folding will not only give you more space for your clothing, but keep things more organised too. So jumpers and cardigans can be folded and stored away until they’re needed. This will not only save space, but is brilliant for organising. Tops, jumpers, shorts etc. can all be folded and stored in drawers or shelves in your wardrobe, allowing you to organise your wardrobe effectively.
4. Combined Hangers
Using hangers that can hold multiple items are perfect for saving space. Not only that, it makes your wardrobe a lot more organised and tidy when everything is arranged. So if like many of us you own too many clothes, having hangers which hold several items is a brilliant invention for you!
5. Have a Clear Out
You’re only wasting space if you think that you’re going to wear your purple knitted jumper that you bought back in 2008. The only thing this is doing is taking up valuable space. The best way to stay on top of your clothing is to think ‘if I haven’t wore it within the space of 12 months, it’s going’ then bag it up and send it to a charity shop to be loved again. That purple jumper could be loved by someone else. This way, you can make room for all your lovely new clothes and stay up to date with the latest trends. Perfect!

Our modern sliding loft door is one of the best space saving idea in your bedroom or changing room. The sliding door gives you an open feel, and this reduces the congestion that would be caused by the bi-fold wardrobe doors. Our sliding loft doors bring in a modern style in your bedroom or your changing room. This comes with our well-crafted styles, designs, finishing and the variety of colours.

With the current lifestyle changes, space is becoming inadequate. Sliding wardrobes are becoming a popular choice for the most household. They give your home the benefit of fitted furniture while utilising valuable ground space. Storage is a common problem everywhere. You will need space to place your family’s clothes, your shoes, and other accessories. This option gives you the flexibility and works wonders in smaller rooms. Sliding wardrobes perfectly complement furniture such as reclaimed furniture. They come with a wide variety of styles for you to pick. They can have wooden doors, mirrored doors or glass doors. The choice you make will depend on your sense of style.
This article will enlighten you on the different ways you can use to organise, refurbish and freshen up your room’s appearance.
Add mirrors to your sliding wardrobes
Mirrors come in different styles, personalised options as well as in almost every size and shape. You can choose the coloured glass, shaded glass, decorative mirrors, partly frosted mirror or lacquered glass. Adding a mirror will brighten up your room and spice it up. The mirrors make the room appear bigger than the usual size. You can also use the mirrors for other purposes like being used as a dressing mirror, exercises and dancing practices. The whole mirror idea enhances the room’s appearance by adding substance and adding style to your space.
Add a lick of paint
You can use it on your sliding wardrobe to give it a dash of style. You can create your custom space by choosing the colour of your choice. The right paint will transform your doors and the overall look of your home.
Curtains can give your room a more open appeal and make beautiful. You can select a full-length curtain, pieces of fabric or drapes. The curtain can be coloured or patterned. You can also choose a voile or sheer curtain because they are thin and allows light through hence improving the look of your room.
Replace mirrors with shoji screens
Shoji is a Japanese architecture. It has translucent papers or plastics held together by a wooden frame. This new design will make your room look brighter and appealing. It is a good choice if you have the traditional sliding wardrobe.
Cover your sliding wardrobe with wallpaper
Wallpapers come in different drawings and patterns. They also allow you to choose from the self -adhesive, temporary wallpaper or peel and stick depending on the duration you want the wallpaper to stay put. A wallpaper is a very simple way of improving your room’s look, yet it brings a whole new look to your space.
Change the wardrobes handles
A change in handles is by far the cheapest way of bringing your home to life. It could be the spice you need to liven up. Door knobs are available in many styles and can give you a variety of choice to choose from to bring that personality touch to your room. It takes less time to do it yet it changes your overall room appearance.
Disguise with film
You can use film to conceal the interior sliding doors of your wardrobe. The film can be a frosted, translucent or plain window. The choice you will make can bring out your preferred theme and add style to your room. These films also help personalize the space.
Add a vinyl sticker
A vinyl is available in different colours and personalised drawings as well as messages. You will be in a position to utilise simple colour schemes for bold graphics. This method will bring a feeling of excitement and enhances your creativity thereby bringing your home to life.
Use a privacy film or spray
You can use the private spray as a way of hiding things that are in your closet as opposed to a mirrored slide door. It gives the mirror a different sheen and looks hence enhancing the general appearance of the room.
With the above tips, I hope you now have an idea as to how you can utilise your small space to increase storage area and at the same time use the idea to enhance the look of your room. These sliding wardrobes are function and have become a means of decoration. Make use of your space and improve it to beautify your room.
