If the bed sits close to the wardrobe wall, a hinged door is a problem before it is a style choice. Sliding doors need no clearance at all, which is what makes them the default in narrow rooms, loft conversions and box rooms.
The doors hang from a track at the top and are guided at the floor, so nothing sits proud of the carpet and there is no bottom channel to fill with dust. Because the weight is carried at the head, the doors stay aligned and keep running true once they are set.
The trade-off is honest: one door always sits in front of another, so you see roughly half the interior at a time. We plan the internal layout around that — daily items in the halves you reach first, and the storage you use less often behind.
Every project is priced individually — it depends on the size of the run, the door style and finish, how the inside is laid out and how much making-good the room needs. There is no fixed price list we can quote here. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation consultation and you will get an accurate quote for your room.
We work around your dates to keep it smooth and quick. Before anything is made we do a pre-installation visit to confirm every measurement and agree the layout, so your timeline is confirmed after that survey rather than guessed at the enquiry stage.
They usually help. A full-height mirrored run bounces the window light back across the room and reads as depth rather than as a wall, which is why they are common in narrow rooms. The things to weigh up are that mirror shows fingerprints and dust more than a painted door, and that you will see the whole room reflected from the bed — some people like that, some do not.
Design, manufacture and fitting are managed for you by one point of contact throughout. Where a room needs specialist work such as electrics for integrated lighting, we bring in trusted trade partners we have worked with for years, and we still coordinate it for you.
In most cases you will not need to move out. We ask that the wall we are working on is clear and that you empty the old wardrobes beforehand; we protect floors, keep the work to that room where we can, and clear up at the end of each day.
