L-shaped corner wardrobes are a smart way to transform unused or awkward areas into practical and stylish storage solutions, making the most of every inch of space in your room.
One of the most common questions we’re asked is whether sliding wardrobe doors can work around corners. The answer is yes! Even better, all of our made-to-measure wardrobe doors can be designed to fit corner wardrobes perfectly.
Read on to discover how to plan and order a sliding wardrobe door tailored to your space.
Why Corner Spaces Are So Hard to Get Right
Corner spaces in bedrooms, such as loft conversions or awkwardly shaped rooms, often go underutilised because standard storage solutions simply aren’t designed to fit them well.
Many off-the-shelf wardrobe doors don’t fit neatly into corners, while hinged doors often clash or can’t fully open due to space restrictions. As a result, storage can become hard to access.
A Bespoke Corner Solution
Made-to-measure corner wardrobes are perfect for awkward dimensions due to the ability to adapt dimensions to your room. This allows for a seamless fit with no wasted gaps, making better use of the floor-to-ceiling height capacity in your room.
When enquiring about a corner configuration, we’ll send you a simple measuring diagram to complete (like the one shown above) so we can gather all the dimensions needed, including widths, depths and the various heights around the corner.
This helps us design a system tailored exactly to your space.
How to Order Your L-Shaped Sliding Wardrobe Doors Online
Tell Us Your Layout
One of the first things we’ll ask is whether your installation is:
- Wall to wall
- Wall to end panel
This detail is important as it makes a big difference to the door configuration and track layout. Getting this right from the beginning helps us design a solution that fits your space accurately.
We Calculate the Doors for You
Once we have your measurements, we can do the hard work for you and calculate:
- How many doors does your layout require
- The correct width of each door
- The correct overlap and opening arrangement for smooth operation
- The best configuration for easy access to the corner
Because every L-shaped fitted wardrobe setup is unique, this ensures your doors not only fit your space perfectly but also function as well as they look.

Precision-Cut Mitred Tracks
We mitre the tracks for you, allowing the two runs of track to meet neatly in the corner, giving you a smooth operation and full access into the corner space.
A corner track will be supplied with a 45-degree mitre, specifically prepared for the corner junction.
To make fitting easier and ensure the best possible finish, we supply the tracks slightly overlength. This allows you to trim the straight ends on site to your exact finished dimensions, while keeping the mitred corner perfectly aligned.
The result is a precise fit, a clean corner joint and a professional seamless finish.
Online Quotation
All of our sliding wardrobe door ranges can be applied to corner wardrobes, as long as you add a corner wardrobe track mitre to your order.
Once you’ve placed your order, we’ll double-check the details with you to ensure everything is suitable and will fit your space correctly.
A typical example might be:
- Width A- 650mm depth = width of the first wardrobe
- Width B-650mm depth = width of the second wardrobe
- Plus a corner wardrobe track mitre.
Benefits of Corner Sliding Wardrobe Doors
Corner sliding wardrobe doors offer several advantages over standard wardrobe doors. These benefits include:
- Maximising the unused corner space in your room
- No door swing required. Because the doors slide rather than swing outward, corner sliding wardrobe doors are beneficial for tight rooms
- Fully made-to-measure for a seamless fit. Doors can be tailored in height, width, and depth to fit specific room dimensions
- Modern, clean appearance
- Flexible internal storage layout
