About the Mirrored Front
Three materials on one door is a lot to get right, and this is the most ambitious front in the range. Each sliding door carries a band of mirror running across its centre, a panel of Dark Atlantic Oak slats at the outer edge, and champagne décor closing it above and below. The mirror does the visual work; the oak gives it texture; the champagne holds the whole thing together.
What makes this version different from the darker colourway is the softness of the result. Champagne is a warm, faintly golden neutral and Dark Atlantic Oak is a rich deep brown – both sit in the same family, so the two solid materials relate rather than contrast, and the mirror sits between them as a bright element rather than a competing one. Where the metallic grey version is graphic and high-contrast, this reads as calm, warm and considerably more natural. It is the version for a bedroom built around linen, wool, rattan or oak flooring.
Set side by side, the two doors read as a single composition rather than a repeated one. The oak slat panels sit at the outer edges of the wardrobe with the mirror running continuously through the middle, so the front has a clear centre and a defined border. Because the doors slide, that arrangement shifts as you use it – the oak panels move inward, the mirrored section reconfigures. It is genuinely more interesting than a static design.
The mirror also earns its place practically. A full-width reflective section across two sliding doors visually doubles the depth of the room, redistributes the available light, and removes the need for a freestanding mirror taking up floor space. Paired with a pale surround, both surfaces return light rather than absorbing it, so this is the brightest configuration Barea offers – worth knowing if the wardrobe is destined for a smaller or north-facing bedroom.
Slim dark profiles run the full height of each door at the edges, acting as the grip when you slide the doors. Against a pale champagne finish those thin vertical lines are the only sharp element on the wardrobe, and they give the front structure without adding a fourth material to a design that already carries three.
Two widths are offered, and the internal division changes with them rather than simply scaling. 226cm gives two compartments of 112.5cm each, which is unusually generous: wide enough that a full season's coats or a long run of dresses sits in one section without crowding. 271cm divides into three compartments of 90cm behind the two sliding doors, which is the more practical arrangement if two people are sharing – a compartment each, with the third for bedding, luggage or out-of-season clothing.
Every compartment is fitted with a storage shelf and a hanging rail, both adjustable in height, so the interior can be set for what you actually own rather than what the factory assumed. Further interior accessories are available from the Rauch range if you want to build it out.
One detail to know before ordering: the base plinth is always supplied in Silk Grey. Beneath a champagne door that grey band is visible at floor level – a deliberate design decision by Rauch rather than an omission, grounding the wardrobe at the base.
Sliding doors are the practical choice wherever floor space is limited, and on a mirrored front that matters twice over – a hinged mirrored door swinging into a bedroom is both an obstruction and a hazard. Nothing swings out here, so the wardrobe can sit opposite a bed, beside a doorway or in a narrow room without losing usable floor. At 62cm deep, garments hang square on the rail rather than pressing against the doors.
At 210cm high, Barea fits a standard modern bedroom without needing a specialist ceiling height. It is 100% Made in Germany and carries both the Blue Angel and the Golden M – Blue Angel being an independently verified low-emission certification, which is worth having on a large piece of furniture in a room you sleep in. It is backed by a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
If you would prefer the wardrobe without mirrors, Barea is also produced as a plain 2 door sliding wardrobe in 181cm, 226cm and 271cm widths. The range is also made in Metallic Grey, a deep graphite that throws the oak slats into much sharper contrast. Matching bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.

FAQs
How is the front arranged?
Each sliding door combines three materials: a band of mirror running across the centre, a panel of Dark Atlantic Oak slats at the outer edge, and champagne décor above and below. Across the two doors, the oak panels sit at the outer edges of the wardrobe with the mirror running continuously through the middle.
Which width should I choose?
226cm gives two compartments of 112.5cm each – generous per section, and better if you want long uninterrupted hanging. 271cm divides into three compartments of 90cm, which suits two people sharing better than two very wide sections would. This model is not produced at 181cm.
Is this the brightest option in the range?
Yes. Champagne and mirror both return light rather than absorbing it, so the whole front lifts the room. For a smaller or north-facing bedroom this is the Barea that will do most for the space.
How does it compare with the Metallic Grey mirrored version?
Champagne is the warmer and calmer of the two – the champagne and the oak sit in the same family, so the front reads as a natural gradation with the mirror as a bright element between them. Metallic Grey is a deep near-black, which makes the same front graphic and high-contrast rather than soft.
What is the oak detail on the doors?
A panel of Dark Atlantic Oak cut as a run of narrow horizontal slats, set into the outer edge of each door with the champagne showing between the slats – the effect of timber panelling on a wall. It gives the front texture and shadow, and stops a large mirrored wardrobe feeling cold.
What colour is Champagne?
A soft, faintly golden neutral – warmer than grey and softer than white. Against the Dark Atlantic Oak slats it reads as a natural gradation rather than a hard contrast, which is what gives this version its warmth.
Are there handles?
No applied handles. Slim dark profiles run the full height of each door at the edges, and these act as the grip when sliding the doors.
What colour is the base plinth?
Silk Grey. Beneath the champagne doors this is visible as a grey band at floor level. It is a design feature of the range rather than a fault or a variation.
What is inside the wardrobe?
Every compartment has one storage shelf and one hanging rail, both adjustable in height, so the layout can be set for full-length garments or for more folded storage. Further interior accessories are available from the Rauch range.
How deep is it?
62cm. The depth is what allows garments to hang square on the rail without pressing against the sliding doors.
Why choose sliding doors on a mirrored wardrobe?
Nothing swings out into the room, so no floor space is lost in front of the wardrobe – and a hinged mirrored door swinging into a bedroom is both an obstruction and a hazard. Sliding doors avoid both.
What delivery options are available?
Free delivery is included. Our professional assembly service is available at additional cost, where our fitters build the wardrobe in your chosen room.
Is there a version without mirrors?
Yes. Barea is also produced as a plain 2 door sliding wardrobe, available in 181cm, 226cm and 271cm widths.
Is it available in other colours?
Yes. The range is also made in Metallic Grey, with the same Dark Atlantic Oak slat detail.
Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order by Rauch to your selected specification, so once the order has been processed it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected width carefully before ordering.
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.
