If you find yourself looking around your bedroom, wondering whether there's a small upgrade that will make a world of difference to your space, bespoke sliding wardrobe doors could be the answer.

Pro Tip: Choosing bespoke doors means that you won't find yourself feeling frustrated by an odd gap where the top of your cupboards and the ceiling should meet. You will also avoid an awkward void to the side of your wardrobe that does nothing but gather dust, and which is impossible to clean!

We're almost certain that's all the information you need to be convinced, but to seal the deal, here's everything you need to know about made to measure sliding doors.

What are Sliding Wardrobe Doors?

Unlike hinged doors, which open outwards either with handles or push-to-open mechanisms, sliding wardrobe doors sit on a neat track system and can be moved sideways to reveal the shelves and hanging space inside. Many sliding door systems also come with a soft-close mechanism, which ensures that they always open and close gently to prevent damage.

The Benefits of Choosing Made to Measure Sliding Wardrobe Doors

As well as offering a sleek and contemporary look, choosing this style for your wardrobe doors can also bring a range of other benefits that are worth considering.

Achieve a Perfect Fit

Whether your bedroom storage is awkwardly shaped, nestled into eaves or simply not suited to hinged doors, bespoke made to measure wardrobe doors will allow you to achieve the perfect fit regardless of the architectural quirks of your property.

Pro Tip: When choosing Happy Doors, you can feel confident that your new doors will be made according to your exact dimensions, allowing you to realise your bedroom storage dreams with ease.

Ideal for Small Bedrooms

As sliding doors aren't on hinges and don't need to swing outwards when opened, they can be an ideal choice for bedrooms with a small footprint or for wardrobes that are tucked away in a corner without much room around them.

Maximise Storage Space

Freestanding wardrobes aren't always the right choice if maximising every inch of storage space in your bedroom is important to you. However, built-in storage solutions with bespoke wardrobe doors can be crafted to fit any space and essentially allow you to fully customise the layout to include all the shelves and hanging space you need to organise your belongings. So, whether you've got a lot of shoes, accessories or clothes, you can house everything neatly in one accessible space with bespoke storage.

Popular Sliding Wardrobe Door Styles for 2026

If the time is right to invest in integrated storage for your master suite, dressing room or guest bedroom, achieving a high-quality finish will ensure that your new wardrobes are a chic upgrade that will enhance both the appearance and functionality of your space.

As every element of a bespoke storage solution can be customised, spending a little time exploring all your options will ultimately help you to design something that's perfect for the style of your home. There are many different types of wardrobe doors to choose from, including handleless and Shaker styles. Slab-style doors have been extremely popular throughout 2025, and this is a trend that is expected to continue into 2026 and beyond.

Valore Wardrobe Doors

Our Valore wardrobe doors are one of the most versatile styles in our range, as they are available in hinged, sliding and non-standard sizes. The variety of colours and finishes also adds to the versatility of this style, as you can choose from a rainbow of solid colours as well as a range of natural styles, such as Vanguard walnut and natural Kendal oak.

Ora Wardrobe Doors

Alternatively, if you're looking for something with a fresh look and feel, our Ora replacement wardrobe doors are one of the newest additions to our catalogue. The Ora range is renowned for featuring a soft touch finish with stain-resistant and antibacterial properties, with all colourways coming complete with a colour-matched reverse and matching edges.

Popular Sliding Door Finishes for 2026

The finish you choose for your wardrobe doors will have a significant impact on how your room looks, as this will be one of your room's main features.

In smaller rooms, choosing a light and bright colour can maximise the sense of space, as can choosing a gloss finish, which will effortlessly reflect the light. Despite looking and feeling very contemporary, gloss finishes also have a timeless quality, as they can be incorporated into an array of different design styles with ease.

If you're eager to create a bedroom that feels warm, homely and inviting, choosing a wood effect finish for your wardrobe doors can be a great idea. A light oak colour can give your bedroom a sense of Scandi chic, whereas a deeper wood, such as a walnut, can bring a sense of traditional luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Wardrobe Doors

What are the benefits of choosing sliding wardrobe doors?

There are numerous benefits to opting for sliding wardrobe doors, particularly for bedrooms that are on the smaller side, as there's no need to account for enough space for them to open outwards. Sliding wardrobe doors also offer a sense of contemporary polish to a bedroom, as they have an inherent minimalist style that feels timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.

Are sliding wardrobe door tracks compatible with carpeted floors?

Yes, you can install sliding wardrobe door tracks in a carpeted bedroom, and there are a couple of different methods you could use here. If you have a low-pile carpet, the simplest solution can be to install the bottom track directly on top of the carpet.

If you don't have a low-pile carpet or this method isn't suited to your space for any reason, we recommend cutting away a small section of your carpet and underlay to reveal the floorboards below. Then, simply install the bottom track directly onto the floorboards.
