Set into each metallic grey door is a section of Dark Atlantic Oak, cut as a run of narrow horizontal slats with the grey showing between them – the effect of timber panelling on a wall, reduced to a single block on an otherwise plain front. It is a genuinely unusual piece of design for a wardrobe at this price, and it does something a flat two-tone front cannot: it gives the door texture and shadow rather than just a change of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe proportion is what makes it work. The slat panel sits off-centre, roughly in the middle third of the door height, so the wardrobe has a clear focal point rather than an even split. Because the doors slide, that panel moves with them – the composition of the front changes as you use the wardrobe, which is more interesting than a static design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMetallic Grey is a deep graphite rather than a mid grey, considerably closer to black, and it is exactly the right backdrop for the oak. A pale surround would compete with the wood; a dark one throws the warm grain forward and lets the shadows between the slats read properly. Dark Atlantic Oak itself is a rich, deep brown with pronounced grain – warmer and darker than a natural oak, which stops the pairing looking like a contrast for its own sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSlim dark profiles run the full height of each door at the edges, giving the front its structure and acting as the grip when you slide the doors. There are no applied handles to interrupt the design, which leaves the slat panel as the only detail on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree widths are offered, and the internal division changes with them rather than simply scaling. \u003cstrong\u003e181cm\u003c\/strong\u003e gives two compartments of 90cm – the standard proportion and the right choice for a normal double bedroom. \u003cstrong\u003e226cm\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps two doors but opens the compartments out to 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. \u003cstrong\u003e271cm\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 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 – raised for full-length coats and dresses, or lowered to add folded storage. Further interior accessories are available from the Rauch range if you want to build it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail to know before ordering: the base plinth is always supplied in Silk Grey. Beneath a metallic grey door that lighter band is visible at floor level – a deliberate design decision by Rauch rather than an omission, grounding the wardrobe at the base. Better known now than noticed on delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSliding 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 – and at 271cm that becomes the deciding factor for most bedrooms. At 62cm deep, garments hang square on the rail rather than pressing against the doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 226cm and 271cm widths, Barea is also produced with \u003cstrong\u003emirrored panels\u003c\/strong\u003e set into the doors alongside the oak slats – a large reflective section running across the centre of the front, framed by grey above and below and bordered by the slat panel at the outer edge. On a dark colourway that combination is particularly effective, since the mirror returns light the graphite absorbs while the oak keeps the front warm. Worth considering if the wardrobe will fill most of one wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe range is also made in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-barea-champagne-2-door-sliding-wardrobe\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/a\u003e, a soft warm neutral that sits in the same family as the oak for a gentler, more natural result.

It gives the door texture and shadow rather than simply a change of colour, and because the doors slide, the panel moves with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich width should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n181cm gives two compartments of 90cm, the right size for a standard double bedroom. 226cm keeps two compartments but widens them to 112.5cm each – more 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the doors oak or metallic grey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe doors are Metallic Grey, with the Dark Atlantic Oak appearing only as the slatted panel detail. The carcase is Metallic Grey to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this wardrobe grey or black?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMetallic Grey is a deep graphite rather than a mid grey – considerably closer to black, and in most rooms it reads as a near-black. That darkness is what makes the warm oak slat panel stand out as it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a mirrored version available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, in the 226cm and 271cm widths. Mirrored panels are set into the doors alongside the oak slats, giving a large reflective section across the centre of the front. On a dark colourway it is well worth considering, since the mirror returns light the graphite absorbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there handles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo 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 – which keeps the front clean and leaves the slat panel as the only detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is the base plinth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSilk Grey. Beneath the metallic grey doors this is visible as a lighter band at floor level. It is a design feature of the range rather than a fault or a variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is inside the wardrobe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEvery 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.
