Sliding Wardrobes
At Simply Fitted Wardrobes we design, manufacture and install bespoke sliding wardrobes as part of our fully bespoke fitted bedroom services.
Sliding wardrobes are an ideal choice where space is limited or where a clean, contemporary finish is desired. By removing the need for hinged doors to swing open into the room, sliding wardrobes allow for a more streamlined layout while still offering generous internal storage.
Every sliding wardrobe we install is made to measure, designed specifically around your room dimensions, layout and how you use the space day to day.
What Are Sliding Wardrobes?
Sliding wardrobes are fitted wardrobes that use sliding doors running on a floor-mounted track, guided by a top track for stability.
Because the sliding doors glide horizontally rather than opening outward, sliding wardrobes are particularly well suited to:
-
Bedrooms with limited floor space
-
Narrow rooms or walkways
-
Modern interiors where a sleek finish is preferred
-
Rooms where furniture placement is tight
Unlike freestanding sliding wardrobes, our sliding wardrobe designs can be built floor to ceiling and wall to wall, eliminating wasted gaps and creating a fully integrated look.

Why Choose Sliding Wardrobes?
Sliding wardrobes offer several practical as well as aesthetic advantages over traditional hinged wardrobes.
Key benefits include:
-
No outward opening door clearance required
-
Clean, uninterrupted lines
-
Ideal for contemporary bedroom layouts
-
Large door panels that suit mirrored or glass finishes well
-
Efficient use of space in smaller rooms
They are often chosen for modern homes, apartments and bedrooms where maintaining a clear, open feel is important as well as sometimes necessary.
Our Sliding Wardrobe Systems
All of our sliding wardrobes are built using floor running door systems, as well as being guided by a top track to ensure smooth and stable operation.
Our sliding wardrobes feature:
-
Floor-mounted runners for long-term durability
-
Soft-close mechanisms as standard
-
Aluminium-framed doors
-
Precision installation for smooth, quiet movement achieving a gliding close.
This system provides excellent reliability as well as performance, even with larger door panels.
Sliding Wardrobe Designs, Finishes & Options
Sliding wardrobes offer a wide range of design possibilities while maintaining a minimal, contemporary appearance.
Available finishes typically include:
-
Mirrored sliding doors
-
Glass sliding doors
-
Woodgrain finishes
Sliding wardrobes are not available in painted finishes, which is something our designers will always advise on clearly during the design stage.
By being upfront about what works best technically and visually, we ensure your finished sliding wardrobe looks balanced and performs exactly as expected.
Beyond door finishes, details such as handles, internal lighting and hardware play an important role in how a sliding wardrobe looks and feels to use. These elements are carefully considered as part of our Finishing Touches process to ensure your wardrobe performs as well as it looks.
Sliding Wardrobe Interiors & Storage Layouts
The exterior design of a sliding wardrobe is only part of the picture. What is inside matters just as much.
We design bespoke internal layouts based on how you actually use your wardrobe. This may include:
-
Hanging rails at set heights
-
Soft-close internal drawers
-
Adjustable shelving
-
Shoe and accessory storage
-
Integrated LED lighting
Every internal layout is designed to maximise usability, organisation as well as long-term practicality.

Fitted Sliding Wardrobes vs Hinged Fitted Wardrobes
Choosing between sliding and hinged fitted wardrobes often comes down to space, layout and your personal preference.
Sliding wardrobes may be best if:
-
Floor space is limited
-
You prefer a contemporary aesthetic
-
You want uninterrupted, larger door lines
Hinged wardrobes may suit better if:
-
You want full access to the entire wardrobe at once
-
Painted finishes are preferred
-
Traditional styling is important
Our role is to advise honestly on what will work best for your room — not to push one option over another.
