About the Champagne Finish
Champagne comes into its own at this width. On a compact wardrobe the difference between champagne and white is subtle; stretched across two and a half or three metres, that faint golden warmth becomes the character of the room. A large white wardrobe can read as clinical – a pale expanse with nothing in it. Champagne fills the same wall while keeping the space soft, which is why it is the finish most people settle on once they have seen both at scale.
The tone shifts gently through the day, cooler in morning light and noticeably warmer under lamps in the evening, and across a front this size that movement is genuinely visible. It sits naturally with oak or walnut flooring, with brass and antique gold fittings, and with the cream, taupe and stone shades most bedrooms already carry – and on a wardrobe that will dominate one wall, that ability to belong rather than impose matters more than it does on a smaller piece.
The door design does useful work at this scale. Each sliding door divides into three horizontal panels – a tall centre panel with a shorter one above and below – and across three doors those lines give a wide front a quiet rhythm rather than leaving it as one flat expanse.
Handles are a genuine choice rather than a fixed fitting. Aluminium is the standard option and the most affordable – a soft brushed silver that keeps the front quiet. Chrome is brighter and more reflective, a cooler accent that sharpens three metres of warm colour. Black is the boldest, turning the handles into graphic vertical divisions across the front – and on champagne it is the pairing that keeps a large warm wardrobe reading as contemporary rather than traditional. Chrome and black are priced the same.
Interior and Construction
Contido sits in Rauch Orange Plus, and the difference between this and a standard sliding wardrobe is almost entirely in what comes as standard rather than what you pay extra for. Contido includes the premium interior package in the price: a set of two sliding door dampers, an interior drawer, and a wardrobe interior division – three upgrades most manufacturers charge separately for, and the three most people end up wanting.
The dampers are the one you notice daily. Sliding doors without them can be pushed shut hard and land with a bang; a damped door draws itself closed over the last few centimetres and settles quietly. With three doors in daily use, the difference compounds.
The interior drawer and the division do the organisational work. A drawer inside a wardrobe keeps small items contained rather than piled on a shelf, and the vertical division splits a compartment so shorter garments can hang above shelving instead of wasting the full drop. Together they are the reason a Contido wardrobe usually removes the need for a separate chest of drawers.
The three compartments each carry their own shelves and rail, which is what makes a wardrobe this wide usable rather than simply large. Two people sharing can take one each, with the third given over to bedding, luggage or out-of-season clothing – and none of the three is a compromise.
A Passepartout frame is available as an optional extra, with or without integrated lighting – a surround fitted across the top and both sides of the wardrobe, closing the gap to the ceiling and walls to give a built-in appearance. With the lighting option it also washes the front of the wardrobe, which on a warm pale finish is particularly effective.
Contido 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 piece of furniture this size in a room you sleep in. Rauch Orange Plus is the brand's durable, high-specification line, and the wardrobe is backed by a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
If three metres is more than the wall will take, Contido is also produced as a 2 door sliding wardrobe in 160cm, 180cm and 200cm widths. The range is also made in White, Silk Grey and Black, or with champagne glass fronts against a black carcase for a two-tone finish.

FAQs
What colour is Champagne?
A pale, faintly golden neutral – warmer than grey and softer than white. It shifts gently with the light through the day, appearing cooler in the morning and warmer under lamplight. Across a wardrobe this wide that warmth is what stops a large pale front feeling clinical.
How does it compare with the white version?
At this width the difference is more pronounced than on a smaller wardrobe. White is brighter and crisper, and does slightly more for a very dark room. Champagne fills the same wall while keeping the space soft, and is the finish most people prefer once they have seen both at three metres.
Which width should I choose?
240cm gives three compartments of 80cm, 270cm gives 90cm, and 300cm gives 100cm – so the wider models give more space per section rather than extra sections. Measure the full run of wall before ordering, including skirting boards, radiators and any point where the wall is not perfectly square.
Which handle should I choose?
Aluminium is the standard option and the most affordable, keeping the front quiet. Chrome is brighter, a cooler accent against three metres of warm colour. Black is the boldest and the pairing that keeps a large champagne wardrobe reading as contemporary rather than traditional. Chrome and black are priced the same.
What is included in the premium interior?
Three items that most manufacturers charge extra for, included as standard: a set of two sliding door dampers, an interior drawer, and a wardrobe interior division. They come with the wardrobe at every width.
What are the dimensions?
Height 223cm, depth 68cm including the doors, with 56cm usable inside. Width is your choice of 240cm, 270cm or 300cm. Check your ceiling height before ordering and allow room above for the wardrobe to be raised into position during assembly.
What is a Passepartout frame?
An optional surround fitted across the top and both sides of the wardrobe. It closes the gap to the ceiling and walls, giving a built-in, fitted appearance rather than a freestanding one. With the lighting option it also washes the front of the wardrobe, which suits a warm pale finish particularly well. Available at additional cost.
What is Rauch Orange Plus?
Rauch's durable, high-specification line – furniture built for long service in a timeless design, with a wide range of models and features. Contido sits within it, which is why the premium interior comes as standard rather than as a paid upgrade.
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. On a wardrobe of this size it is worth considering.
Is it available in a smaller size?
Yes. Contido is also produced as a 2 door sliding wardrobe in 160cm, 180cm and 200cm widths.
Is it available in other colours?
Yes. The range is also made in White, Silk Grey and Black, or as a two-tone wardrobe with champagne glass fronts and a black carcase.
Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order by Rauch to your selected specification, including width and handle finish, so once the order has been processed it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected options carefully before ordering.
What guarantee does it come with?
Rauch provide a 10-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, subject to their warranty terms.
