Choosing the perfect wardrobe for our homes is challenging, as factors like space, ease of use, and maintenance all play a role.
Choosing the perfect wardrobe for our homes is a hectic task. A lot of factors like the space, ease of use, maintenance, etc, come into play when deciding to choose between a wardrobe with a hinged door or a sliding door. We all have personal preferences when choosing something, and more often than not, we usually tilt towards our preferences. But before you do, here is HomeTriangle’s detailed guide on which to choose, with the pros and cons of each.
1. Hinged-Door Wardrobes
Hinged doors are the more conventional design option when it comes to choosing wardrobes. The most common reason why people still go for hinged door designs is the visibility they provide. You can see the entire contents when you open the hinged door wardrobe. This is one of the biggest advantages and differentiating features these doors have over the sliding doors. These also give you the option to install hooks, pockets, or racks on the inside surface of the door for various accessories such as ties, clips, etc.
2. Sliding Door Wardrobes
Sliding doors glide horizontally on metal tracks fixed on top and bottom frames. The rollers on the side of the door are for opening. Ensure that the width of a sliding door is at least 7 feet otherwise, it might feel congested. We have seen a steady rise in people choosing sliding doors over the past decade. The sleek and modern look, plus its space-saving nature it make it a favorite among millennials in urban cities.
