I wondered if anyone knew how these wardrobes open? Are they sliding?

Wardrobe LED strips

I have pax wardrobes with lighting (also IKEA) and we've put the light strip at the top so it shines down in the drawers when we open them. Works perfectly. It switches on when we open the (sliding non-IKEA) doors. Ours is under a sloping roof so we had to get a bit creative with a saw and leaving the tops off etc.

If you fit the frame flush to the wall and have sliding doors it is possible to adjust the door to one side ever so slightly to open it. However, if it was me, I would space the wardrobe out slightly and fit a filler piece of wood. Make sure to get the IKEA Pax wardrobe frames fully square and level or the doors may have to be adjusted to make them level which can result in them not opening fully. In turn this means that any internal drawers which you may or may not fit may catch against the sliding doors.

Last min dilemma...Sliding door or Slide & Fold Door?!

Hi! A belated thank you to everyone who helped me finally make a decision! I went with a 3 pane sliding door (on a 3.7m opening) allowing me to open over half the width. I figured that with bifolds you would still have the frames stacked to one side which takes up a chunk of the opening as well. I chose the XP Glide from Express Bi-folds. Have found them professional and easy to deal with, we are just awaiting delivery now! The only bug I had is that their choice of handles were pretty basic, either a chunky (in my view an eye sore!) steel bar or a regular lever handle. They only come in black, grey or white! I was initially going with a very sleek 2 pane sliding door from Ultraline that had an integrated handle within the frame but the cost was too high for me to change it to a 3 pane. If I had the budget though I would have gone with them instead. Express Bi-folds do a slimmer framed option than XP Glide, I think it is called XP Panoramic. The 3 pane was more than Ultraline I think though. The consultant at Express-Bi-folds also advised against slimmer framed bonded glass options as if for any reason you damage the glass you have to replace the whole frame as well which is a major structural headache. Most slim framed options use this method though (as opposed to beaded - correct me if I am wrong!) so I would have chosen to ignore his advice if my budget allowed :-)

For your new bedroom layout, keeping the entrance angled as shown in the plan is a smart choice. This angled entry helps facilitate easier movement and furniture placement within the corridor space, making it practical without compromising the flow of the room. For the walk-in wardrobe, a depth of around 60-70 cm is typically sufficient for hanging clothes without feeling too cramped, and utilising the left corner for shelving is an efficient use of space. This configuration allows you to maximise storage while maintaining an accessible and organised wardrobe. Installing a sliding door for this wardrobe can save space and enhance the functionality of the room, aligning well with your overall design vision.
