Shaker Sliding Wardrobe Doors

February 2025

Shaker-style sliding wardrobe doors are a popular choice, owing to their timeless style and distinctive panelled layout – and with our 3D wardrobe designer, you can achieve a shaker style look to your sliding wardrobe simply by choosing the right materials and panel styles.

Shaker doors are marked by their distinctive recessed panels and elegant minimalist look. Typically seen in beautiful woodgrain and matt woodwork finishes, shaker-style doors can also look particularly striking with the glossy sheen of coloured glass or mirror.

By using our 3D wardrobe design tool, you aren’t limited to the offerings of standard “off-the-shelf” shaker door styles, instead having the flexibility to use different colors, materials and finishes to enhance the aesthetics of your space and create your perfect sliding doors. Many shaker wardrobe doors are designed with 3 or 4 recessed panels, but at My Sliding Wardrobe, you can even try out a more contemporary look, with 5 or even 6.

 

How Do I Create My Own Shaker-Style Sliding Wardrobe Doors?

1. Simple. Once you’ve picked where your sliding wardrobe is going, chosen your casing, entered the dimensions of your sliding wardrobe and selected the number of doors you require, you’ll next need to select your chosen framework and track finish.

The 4 options above are the most popular for shaker sliding doors as these finishes are also available for casing and the door panels, meaning the whole wardrobe can be in 1 single colour if that is what you are after. You can also have matching interiors in these finishes.

There are however other options for framework and track such as satin silver or gunmetal which may not be available as an exact match in casing and door panel, but do work really well with other finishes, particularly grey matt woodworks and grey glasses such as CashmereChalk Grey or Dusk Grey. If you are looking to create woodgrain shaker sliding doors, we recommend Medium Oak which is available for all parts of the wardrobe.

 

2. Next is the important part for creating your own ideal shaker sliding wardrobe doors – how many panels do you want each door to have? Shaker door panels are almost always equally sized, with our Chicago Triple Panel or Newark Four Panel configurations being the most popular choices. We also offer 5 or 6 equal-sized door panel options in Houston Five Panel and Phoenix Six Panel, if you’d like to try something a little different.

To shake things up (pardon the pun) even more, why not try alternative panel configurations like Seattle Single Band or Portland Banded Panel – creating that classic shaker-look with a unique and personalised twist. You can use the same panel style on all doors, or even combine two styles within the same sliding wardrobe!

3. Finally, it’s time to select the panels for your sliding doors! Explore our ranges of Premium Woodgrain, Matt Woodwork and coloured Premium Glass finishes to create your shaker wardrobe doors however you choose. We also offer clear and tinted Mirror options, if you’re looking to add a little extra functionality or increased reflected light in the room.

Ordinarily, shaker door wardrobes have the same colour finish on both the recessed and non-recessed parts of the doors, adding to the sleek and minimalist style. While we offer a wide range of premium woodwork and glass finishes for all of our sliding wardrobe doors, to achieve the classic “single-colour” look, you may want to select your overall shaker-style from one of our core matching colours of medium oak, white, black,or stone, enabling you to create stunning panelled doors in any of these colour schemes.

 

Get Creative & Design Your Own Unique Shaker Style Sliding Wardrobe Doors

While shaker doors have a classic timeless appeal in their simplicity, with our 3D design tool, you can mix it up to create something more contemporary, stylish and truly unique. Why not try:

  • Combining different materials and finishes?
  • Designing shaker-style doors on the rear track channel and something different (like a full-length mirror) for the front track channel doors?
  • Adding mirrors into 1 or more of the panels of your shaker doors?

Get creative, customise, and explore the possibilities!
