About the Silk Grey Finish
Silk Grey is the finish that carries width best. White at three metres can read as a blank wall; a dark colour at three metres defines the room. Silk Grey does neither – it has enough tone to look like a considered choice rather than a default, and enough restraint that a wardrobe filling an entire wall still recedes. If you want the storage without the wardrobe becoming the subject of the room, this is the one.
The colour is a soft light grey with a gentle warmth, not the cold blue-tinged grey that dated so quickly in the last decade. That matters more at this size: a cool grey across three metres can make a bedroom feel harder than intended, whereas this stays comfortable alongside warm woods, painted furniture, chrome or brass equally.
It is also the finish that shows the door design most clearly. Each sliding door divides into three horizontal panels – a tall centre panel with a shorter one above and below – and the shadow lines between them register more visibly on a mid tone than on white or black. Across three doors that gives a wide front a quiet, deliberate rhythm.
Handles are a genuine choice rather than a fixed fitting. Aluminium is the standard option and the most affordable, sitting closest in tone to the doors for the most seamless result. Chrome is brighter and more reflective, adding three sharper accents across the front. Black is the boldest, turning the handles into graphic vertical divisions and taking a soft colour in a more contemporary direction. 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. On a wardrobe filling most of one wall, that is the detail that turns freestanding furniture into fitted storage.
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, Champagne and Black, or with silk grey glass fronts against a black carcase for a two-tone finish.

FAQs
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. Across three metres that matters, since a cool grey at this width can make a bedroom feel harder than intended.
Will a wardrobe this wide dominate the room?
Less in silk grey than in any other finish. White at this size can read as a blank wall and a dark colour defines the room; silk grey has enough tone to look deliberate while still receding. At 68cm deep the footprint is no greater than a smaller wardrobe – only the width changes.
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 sits closest in tone to the doors and gives the most seamless result. Chrome is brighter, adding three sharper accents across the front. Black is the boldest, taking a soft colour in a more contemporary direction. 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 – which on a wardrobe this wide is the detail that turns freestanding furniture into fitted storage. Available with or without integrated lighting, 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, Champagne and Black, or as a two-tone wardrobe with silk grey 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.
