The number of doors in your wardrobe is often overlooked, but it impacts the style and available space in a room. The typical double-door fitted wardrobes also offer twice the space with various storage options like drawers, and long, and short hanging spaces. Double wardrobes offer enough room to store a reasonable amount of clothing for one person.

The twin-door wardrobe is also a great option for small bedrooms and perfect for guest rooms. The ultimate choice that you make would depend on a large set of factors and that’s only natural given the nature of the purchase.Read on to get a better idea about the whole process and how we can help you in purchasing the ideal wardrobe for your residence.

Single vs Double vs Triple vs Quad Door Wardrobes

The number of doors in your wardrobe does not necessarily dictate the size of your wardrobe. However, larger wardrobes with fewer doors need more clearance space for a hinged door to swing open and close.

Multiple doors are sometimes used to mark out the separate compartments in a wardrobe. Single-door wardrobes are great if you don’t need a lot of space or if you wish to utilise the space in the room in some other way. The final choice that you make would be governed entirely by your specific needs and wants, which is why speaking to an FCI London expert is the best way of knowing what you need. We have helped thousands of customers over the years in choosing the wardrobe of their choice.

Double-door fitted wardrobes are the perfect middle ground. With two doors, you have the option of traditional hinge doors or bi-fold doors that fold into each other on hinges.More doors offer higher versatility. Triple-door wardrobes can be arranged traditionally or as corner wardrobes in an L-shape to make use of dead space and make more conscious use of the space you have.

Triple doors are an ideal fit if one side of your room has more wall space available than the other, while a quad-door wardrobe has the advantage of symmetry, giving the wardrobe area of your bedroom greater balance.

How Wide Should Double Wardrobe Doors Be

The width of your wardrobe doors should be based on the space you wish to spare, the type of doors you want and the nature of usage.

If your wardrobe serves more than one person or has more than one type of storage, having more doors makes your storage more organised and easily accessible. Sliding doors and bi-fold doors make it possible to have fewer, larger doors and save space.

A double-door wardrobe is a popular option because it is versatile and can accommodate most needs without presenting any aesthetic challenges. Although it is a safe option there are still considerations you should make before deciding on a two-door wardrobe.

Things to Consider

The size of your wardrobe and the space in your bedroom are major factors in this decision because they impact the functionality and the appearance of your wardrobe. Ultimately, you wouldn’t want the space in your room to be compromised owing to the size of your wardrobe. It isn’t aesthetically pleasing either. You should remember that ‘large’ is subjective and your new wardrobe size should be in proportion to the size of your room.

Larger wardrobes with different storage options may need more or fewer doors depending on your wardrobe design. The size of the door should be decided upon consultation with experts so that it complements your room aesthetically.

The type of doors, the material they are made of and their style affect how much each door costs. Our experts at FCI London know that each residence is different and everyone needs a wardrobe that complements their style, taste, and preferences. We can offer you choices from a wide range of materials, door types, and styles for your ideal wardrobe.

Available Space and Sizing

Other than your specific needs; your mode of usage, the space you want to spare and personal style preferences are major factors in determining the size of your wardrobe.

The average width of a double-door wardrobe is 90-110 cm and the average height is 230-250 cm. In case of a space crunch, you should opt for narrow doors. Narrow doors will make the whole room look narrow while creating the illusion of higher ceilings.

In a room that can accommodate more than two doors at the average width, oversized doors are an option. Consider the weight your doors put on your hinges and other mechanisms. Heavier doors are better suited to sliding door mechanisms.

The furniture in your room should complement the overall aesthetics of your room and hence, it is imperative to choose double-door wardrobes that enhance the aesthetics. If it is suitable to the room in terms of size and the spacing is right then it can enhance the overall aesthetics of the room in a big way.

Storage needs

A double-door wardrobe can accommodate varying storage needs and configurations. You can always create a bespoke wardrobe with special interior and exterior, that are suitable to your specific needs and design aesthetics.

Separating your wardrobe into compartments either to share with a partner, allocate storage by season, or occasion or separate storage types can necessitate a double door, or more doors, depending on your needs.

So it’s important to have your storage needs in consideration and discuss them with your wardrobe designers so they can create your dream wardrobe for you. Deep closets with a combination of hanging space, shelving and drawers can all be accommodated by double-door wardrobes conveniently with a variety of customisations. FCI London has been the most effective exponent of customisation in the UK furniture industry since its inception. Our experts can come up with a perfect option for your home.

Aesthetics

The purpose of effective storage is to reduce clutter and make your space neater and more organised. Having too many of anything, including wardrobe doors, in your bedroom can make the room look crowded and cluttered.

Balance and harmony are design principles that apply to any style and preference. This is easily achieved by distributing the elements of the room as equally as possible through the space.

A double-door wardrobe is attractive in every style and design motif owing to the symmetry offered by the two doors.

Two-door or any even-numbered doors are easier to accommodate when your entire wardrobe is on one wall. The direction in which your doors open and where your handles are placed can make your wardrobe look lopsided or incomplete. Limiting the number of doors to two eliminates that possibility.

Budget

There are a range of factors you would need to consider before deciding on a budget for your double-door wardrobe. Once you have these major factors in mind, it will not be difficult for you to make a budget before you embark on the project.

Some of the key factors include materials, the size of the wardrobe and added features, in addition to the degree of customisation. These factors can have an effect on the budget to varying degrees.
