About the Silk Grey Glass Front

Silk Grey is the finish that makes this wardrobe feel considered rather than simply practical. It is a soft, light grey with a gentle warmth to it – not the cold, blue-tinged grey that dominated interiors a decade ago, and not so pale that it fades into an off-white. Rendered in tempered glass rather than a panel finish, it gains a depth that flat colour cannot achieve: the surface catches light across the width of the door and gives the grey a subtle movement through the day.

That is the argument for glass over décor on this colour in particular. A mid tone shows the quality of its surface more than a white does – unevenness reads as patchiness rather than as a flaw at the edges. Genuine tempered glass gives an entirely uniform finish that will not scuff, will not mark at the corners, and holds its colour indefinitely.

Silk Grey is also the easiest colour in the range to build a room around. It sits with warm woods and cool metals alike, takes both light and dark bedding, and does not commit you to a particular scheme the way a strong colour eventually does. If you are furnishing gradually, or expect to redecorate before you replace the wardrobe, that flexibility is worth having.

One consequence of the colour choice is worth knowing: the base plinth on every Forms wardrobe is supplied in Silk Grey, so on this model it matches the doors and carcase exactly. Where the white version shows a deliberate grey line at the base, here the wardrobe reads as a single continuous tone from plinth to top – the most visually seamless combination in the range.

If you would prefer a softer, non-reflective surface, the same wardrobe is produced with silk grey décor door fronts instead – a matt panel finish at a lower price point. Both versions are also available with a mirrored centre door, in glass or décor, if you want a full-height mirror built into the wardrobe rather than standing separately in the room.

Each door front is made up of four panel elements rather than one continuous sheet. Visually this gives the wardrobe a subtle horizontal rhythm that keeps a wide front from looking flat – an effect that is more noticeable on a mid tone than on white. Practically, panel construction is a considerable advantage on delivery day: a 229cm door in a single piece is extremely awkward to carry up a staircase or round a landing, whereas panels are manageable.

The bar handles are finished in the same silk grey as the wardrobe, so they read as part of the door rather than an applied fitting. The result is quieter than a chrome or black handle would give, and on a soft neutral like this it keeps the front clean and uninterrupted.

Doors run on the Rauch Easy-Slide system, engineered for a smooth and quiet action. Sliding doors are the practical choice wherever floor space is limited: nothing swings out into the room, so the wardrobe can sit opposite a bed, beside a doorway or in a narrow room without losing usable floor. At 271cm wide that becomes the deciding factor for many bedrooms – a hinged wardrobe of the same width would need close to a metre of clear floor before a door could open.

The interior differs between the two heights, and it is worth weighing carefully. The 210cm model gives one storage shelf and one hanging rail per compartment. The 229cm model gives two shelves and one rail per compartment – across three compartments that is a substantial increase in folded storage rather than a marginal one. If your ceiling height allows for the taller model, it is the better use of the same footprint.

Widths of 203cm and 271cm cover most bedroom walls, dividing internally into three equal compartments of 67.5cm or 90cm respectively. At 62cm deep the wardrobe holds standard hangers comfortably while keeping its footprint modest. Surfaces need nothing more than a dry wipe, and mid greys are among the most forgiving finishes to live with – dust shows less than on a dark colour and everyday marks less than on a pale one.

Forms belongs to the Rauch Orange range and is built to the same German factory standard as the rest of the brand – 100% Made in Germany, carrying both the Blue Angel and the Golden M seals. Blue Angel is an independently verified low-emission certification, meaningful for a large piece of furniture in a room you sleep in, and the Golden M is Germany's recognised furniture quality mark. Matching bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.

Internal Storage Layout

• Three equal compartments: Each measuring 67.5cm wide on the 203cm model, or 90cm wide on the 271cm model
• 210cm height: Every compartment is fitted with 1 storage shelf and 1 full-width hanging rail
• 229cm height: Every compartment is fitted with 2 storage shelves and 1 full-width hanging rail, giving noticeably more folded storage across the wardrobe
• Left compartment: Shelving in the upper section with a full-width hanging rail beneath for coats, dresses, shirts and suits
• Centre compartment: Identical arrangement to the left compartment
• Right compartment: Identical arrangement, giving three separate hanging sections rather than one continuous run
• Adjustability: Shelves and hanging rails can be positioned to suit your own storage, so one section can be set for full-length garments while another is given over to folded items
• Depth: 62cm external depth throughout, accommodating standard hangers across all three compartments

FAQs

How long will it take to arrive?
Dispatch is 8 to 10 weeks. This is a dispatch timeframe rather than a delivery date: the wardrobe is built to your specification in Germany and then shipped to the UK. Occasionally items arrive sooner, and during German factory holiday closures it can take slightly longer.

Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order in your chosen size and configuration, so once the order has been processed with Rauch it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected options carefully before ordering.

What delivery service is included?
Free delivery is included with this wardrobe. Full details of the delivery and assembly options available, along with the clearance you will need, are set out in our Assembly Service information.

Are the doors real glass?
Yes. The fronts are genuine silk grey tempered glass, not a printed or foiled panel finish. Glass gives a more even, slightly reflective surface with greater depth of colour, and it holds that appearance over time rather than scuffing at the edges.

Is Silk Grey warm or cool in tone?
It sits on the warmer side of neutral – a soft light grey rather than a cold, blue-tinged one. That makes it easier to pair with both warm woods and cooler metals than a strongly cool grey would be.

What is the difference between the glass and décor versions?
Glass fronts are tempered glass with a smooth, slightly reflective surface that gives the colour more depth. Décor fronts are a matt panel finish – softer, non-reflective, and lower in price. The carcase, interior, handles and mechanism are the same on both.

Is a mirrored version available?
Yes. The Forms 3 door is produced with a mirrored centre door in both finishes – silk grey glass with mirror and silk grey décor with mirror.

Which height should I choose?
The 229cm model gives two storage shelves per compartment against one on the 210cm model – across three compartments that is a substantial difference in folded storage. If your ceiling height allows for the taller version, it is the better use of the same footprint.

How wide is each internal compartment?
The interior divides into three equal sections. On the 203cm model each compartment is 67.5cm wide; on the 271cm model each is 90cm. Every compartment has its own shelving and hanging rail.

What colour is the base plinth?
Silk Grey, as on every Forms wardrobe. On this model it matches the doors and carcase exactly, so the wardrobe reads as one continuous tone from the plinth upwards.

Will it fit up my stairs and into the room?
Each door front is made up of four panel elements rather than a single full-height sheet, which makes the components considerably easier to carry through doorways, up staircases and around landings than a wardrobe of this size would normally be. It is still worth checking your access allows for the carcase panels, particularly on the 229cm height.

What guarantee does it come with?
Rauch provide a 10-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, subject to their warranty terms.

Is there matching bedroom furniture?
Yes. Coordinating bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.

How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
