Choosing fitted wardrobes? Sliding, shaker or handleless.

The fitted wardrobe styles we fit, from mirrored sliding doors to shaker and handleless fronts, and how to choose the right one for a room.

In short

  • Sliding doors suit rooms where a hinged door would get in the way.
  • Shaker and hinged doors give a panelled, furniture look; flat handleless fronts give a clean built-in look.
  • Doors come in cream, grey, taupe, white and concrete-effect finishes.

Every style below is one we fit. If you are deciding what to put in a bedroom, this is a quick way to see the options side by side.

Two-door sliding wardrobe with black frames, a mirrored left door and a white glass right door, each split into three panels, beside a window in a bright room with grey wood-effect flooring

Sliding door wardrobes

Sliding doors run along a track, so they need no space in front to open. That makes them a good fit for smaller bedrooms, or where the bed sits close to the wardrobe.

We fit sliding doors with mirror centres, white and coloured glass panels, and black or champagne frames.

Shaker and hinged doors

Shaker doors have a raised frame around a flat centre panel, and they open on hinges like freestanding furniture. They come in cream, grey, taupe and white, with handles in black or brass.

A mirrored centre door is a common touch, so the wardrobe does the job of a full-length mirror too.

Five-door fitted wardrobe in taupe with flat slab doors and three long brass bar handles, beside a window, on bare floorboards

Flat and handleless fronts

Flat doors running wall to wall give a clean, built-in look. Some have bar handles; others have no handles at all and open with a push or a finger pull.

Alcoves, slopes and lighting

Fitted wardrobes earn their keep in awkward spaces: alcoves either side of a chimney breast, or under a sloping ceiling where a freestanding wardrobe would not fit. Some of our wardrobes also have LED lighting along the top or in the shelves.

Why our fitted wardrobes are good value

Doors come in cream, grey, taupe, white and concrete-effect finishes, with mirror or glass panels, brass or black handles, or no handles at all. If the whole house is due a refresh, the same team offers full-house decorating too.
