Modern Wardrobe Trends To Help Design Your Sliding Doors
January 2023
Looking for a new sliding wardrobe with an on-trend, modern appeal? This year is going to be all about delivering that cosy look, with earth tones, light hues, statement mirrors and bold accent colours – all big style favourites of the current season.
In this blog, we bring you all of the latest emerging trends, with the perfect wardrobe designs that have big potential to wow!
1. Sliding wardrobes with cosy home earth tones
One of the biggest trends in 2023 is all about bringing artefacts of cosiness to your home, providing a sense of calm in what has been a chaotic world over the past few years.
Coined ‘comfortcore’, this core trend is all about. This is of particular importance for many of our customers when choosing styles for the bedroom, where modern serenity is often a requirement.
In application, this translates into lots of warm, neutral or wooden tones – offering a clean, minimalist appeal. Creamy earth tones such as our vanilla, cashmere, cappuccino and stone options, as well as medium oak, lakeland maple and dijon walnut all offer calming, natural tones that really hit this safe, homey feel on the mark, whilst retaining a modern sleek look.
Check out ‘The Winchester’ design below, a combination of cashmere and vanilla with premium glass that really achieves the perfect balance between cosy and modern:
2. Wardrobes with a raw, natural effect
The natural look continues to be a sought after requirement in current interior design trends. Wood and stones that denote sustainable materials help to deliver ‘a warmer and welcoming aesthetic’, with the raw, natural material look continuing to be of interest.
Warmer wood tones, such as our medium oak, lakeland maple and dijon walnut, offer the perfect way to incorporate the natural, textured appeal of wooden decor into your home.
Our ‘The Plymouth’ design brings a perfect balance of lighter and darker hues by combining our medium oak premium woodgrain with apple white premium glass to achieve an au natural look, with a modern deluxe twist:
3. Make a statement with glass and mirrored sliding wardrobe doors
Hot on the heels of the natural materials trend, statement glass was named as one of Vogue’s top interior design trends of 2023. Whilst glass can help create a sense of continuity throughout a room, it can also help create the illusion of added space when applied to floor to ceiling wardrobes, allowing natural light to stream into and beyond a room to make it effortlessly bright and airy.
For rooms which might be slightly smaller, incorporating a statement feature of a glass or mirrored wardrobe can instantly enhance the perception of space. This My Sliding Wardrobe customer did just that, incorporating clear mirrored doors with our satin silver framework to create a timeless design which really enhances their available space.
4. Match your sliding wardrobe to 2023’s accent colour of choice
ELLE DECOR has named Green as the primary accent bedroom colour for 2023.
For those leafy green tones, our top suggestion would be to choose a dark wood such as walnut, to create a look which really stands out in sharp relief against green or blues. Other complimentary options include Maliwood and Grey Oak. If you are looking for some inspiration for colour combinations that really complement each other, then please look at our eSamples page.
Teaming this up with a wall colour from Farrow & Ball of deep moody greens, like Green Smoke or Studio Green is the expert’s pick.
5. Using sliding wardrobes to create a bespoke, minimalist home working environment
Since the start of the pandemic, many people across the world have had to convert some of their home space into a daily work environment. Now that home working looks set to become a part of everyday life, many interior designers have discussed how 2023 will be about creating minimalist, personalised and bespoke home offices. Ideal Home suggests ‘Whether you’re working with large or small home office ideas, going down the bespoke route can be a gamechanger.’
Sliding wardrobes provide an ideal storage solution for any home office to store stationery, files, paperwork and even workspaces and IT equipment, making your room as minimal as possible and hiding work out of sight when it’s family time.
Many home office spaces tend to be in a more compact room in the home and so adding sliding doors which do not need to open into the room will allow for more usable office space in the room. You can also select mirrored doors which, with their reflection, will enhance the appearance of the size of the room, giving a bright and airy feel.
