Sliding doors for wardrobes are often more preferred than open and shut ones. Besides the look they create, sliding doors are neater, occupy less space, and are more comfortable to maneuver. Here are the three 3 tips to design a wardrobe door for optimal convenienceSmall rooms with less than 800 mm space to move around, can get really congested when fitted with doors that move outwards. Similarly, it becomes difficult to place furniture, and one needs at least half a foot space around to ensure easy movement.

Space In & Around Wardrobe
Purchasing sliding doors for wardrobes must be a well-chosen call. As easy as it is to decide, it is also important to see what size the wardrobe is, whether it is good for the bedroom, and the number of doors you will need. Purchasing brand new doors that haven’t been well measured is an exercise in futility because ill-fitted doors have gaps and over time, this can cause damage to clothes and accessories. Looking at the amount of room available inside, you can decide to go for one or two doors.
Wardrobe Accessibility
Accessibility is another factor to consider when choosing sliding wardrobe doors. It is important to understand what will be the purpose of the wardrobe and how would you like to store items. Large, broad wardrobes provide roomier storage and accommodate sliding doors better. Also consider other accessories, such as wire baskets, pull out rails, drawing units, shelves and a number of drawers for placement. Placing doors inaccurately can make access to certain spaces very difficult. Always decide, whether each item can be reached without causing obstruction to another.
Measure your wardrobe before, if you are planning to have more vertical storage like the loft, make sure that it would be easily accessible for you.
