While an efficient wardrobe design should provide space for all your clothes and accessories, it should not compromise your bedroom space. Here we take a look at the pros and cons of swing and slide wardrobes to help you find the best fit for your home

Your wardrobe should be an organized space that reduces stress and helps you find things when you need them. This is most important in the morning as you are getting ready for work. Your wardrobe should be designed to help organize your personal things efficiently while maximising every square inch of space.

 

While an efficient wardrobe design should provide space for all your clothes and accessories, it should not compromise your bedroom space. You need to figure out which wardrobe design works best for your needs and your bedroom dimensions. Here, we take a look at two types of wardrobes–swing wardrobes and hinged wardrobes–to assess the attributes of each to help you make the best decision for your interiors.

What is a Swing Wardrobe?

Swing door wardrobes or hinged wardrobes are the most popular wardrobe design, especially in traditional interiors. It consists of one or two doors that are attached to the jamb with the help of, generally, two or three hinges. They swing open and shut on the hinges. When it comes to swing wardrobe finishes and veneers, one is spoilt for choice. From expensive all-wood swing door wardrobes to colour blocked laminate, there are myriad design options.

What is a Sliding Wardrobes Design?

A sliding door wardrobe design is a more contemporary storage solution, which is still versatile enough to be worked into any kind of interior design or décor styles. A sliding wardrobes design has rollers on the upper and lower edge of the door that glide horizontally on metal tracks attached to the top and bottom frames. A sliding door wardrobe has a minimal feel and gives a sleek finish to a room.

Benefits of a Sliding Wardrobes Design

  • Bedroom sliding wardrobe offers smooth movement – They are easy to open and close. If there is any difficulty, a little DIY clean-up of the rollers and tracks is all that is needed.

Disadvantages of Sliding Door Wardrobe Design

  • Sliding door wardrobe design needs gentle handling - Panels and alignment of the doors can be compromised by rough handling. Therefore, sliding wardrobes need to be handled with care.

  •  Modern sliding wardrobe design needs extra maintenance – A sliding wardrobe door has to be maintained regularly to ensure that the tracks are clean and the rollers need to be oiled once in a while.
