Every other wood-look wardrobe in our range – including some very good ones – uses a decor foil that reproduces grain photographically. This is actual timber: a thin layer of real oak bonded to the panel, with genuine grain, genuine texture, and the tonal variation that only comes from wood that grew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn champagne that authenticity matters more than on the darker colourway. Champagne is a pale, faintly golden neutral, and oak is a warm mid brown – they sit in the same family, so the panel does not announce itself as a contrast. What distinguishes it is material rather than colour: a band of real wood grain and texture set into an otherwise smooth painted front. A printed foil in this position would simply look like a slightly darker stripe. Real veneer reads as timber, and that is the whole difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe placement is deliberate. Each door divides into four horizontal panels, with the oak set as the third one down, just below the midpoint. It is not centred and not symmetrical, and that is the point: a band low on the door draws the eye across the width of the wardrobe rather than up it, and running unbroken across both doors it reads as a single horizontal line through the whole piece. Slide the doors and the line breaks and reforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the warmer and quieter of the two colourways. Where the metallic grey version uses the oak as a bright accent against near-black, champagne and oak form a gradation – the effect is closer to joinery than to two-tone furniture. If your bedroom is built around linen, wool, oak flooring or warm off-whites, this is the version that belongs there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handles are finished in the carcase colour, so they sit quietly and leave the oak panel as the only interruption to the front. On the matching bedroom furniture the handles are oak, picking up the veneer instead – a nice piece of consistency if you are buying the pieces together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes and Interior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree widths are offered, all with two sliding doors. \u003cstrong\u003e181cm\u003c\/strong\u003e divides into two compartments of 90cm – the standard proportion and the right choice for a normal double bedroom. \u003cstrong\u003e226cm\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps two compartments but opens them to 112.5cm each, which is unusually generous: wide enough that a full season's coats sits in one section without crowding. \u003cstrong\u003e271cm\u003c\/strong\u003e divides into three compartments of 90cm behind the two doors, which suits two people sharing better than two very wide sections would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery compartment has a storage shelf and a hanging rail, both adjustable in height, so the balance between hanging and folded storage is yours to set. Further interior accessories are available from the Rauch range if you want to build it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe would recommend adding \u003cstrong\u003esoft close\u003c\/strong\u003e to the sliding doors. It stops a door being pushed shut hard and landing with a bang, drawing it closed quietly over the last few centimetres instead – and beyond the feel of it, taking that impact out of daily use is what keeps sliding doors running true over years rather than gradually dropping out of alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMalva 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\u003eThe same wardrobe is also produced in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-malva-metallic-grey-sliding-door-wardrobe-with-oak-panel\"\u003eMetallic Grey\u003c\/a\u003e.

Malva is the only Rauch collection that uses real oak veneer rather than a wood-effect print – a thin layer of actual timber bonded to the panel, with genuine grain and texture. On champagne that matters particularly, since the two tones are close: what distinguishes the panel is material rather than colour, and a printed foil would simply look like a darker stripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the oak panel on the door?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach door divides into four horizontal panels, with the oak set as the third one down, just below the midpoint. It runs unbroken across both doors, so it reads as a single horizontal line through the whole wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it compare with the metallic grey version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nChampagne and oak sit in the same warm family, so the panel reads as a gradation and the wardrobe feels closer to joinery. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-malva-metallic-grey-sliding-door-wardrobe-with-oak-panel\"\u003eMetallic Grey\u003c\/a\u003e is a deep near-black, which turns the same oak panel into a bright accent against a dark ground. This is the quieter of the two.\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. All three have two sliding doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I add soft close?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe would recommend it. Beyond the feel of a door closing quietly rather than banging, it takes the impact out of daily use, which is what keeps sliding doors running true over years rather than gradually dropping out of alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour are the handles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe wardrobe handles are metal in the carcase colour, so they sit quietly and leave the oak panel as the only detail on the front. The matching bedroom furniture uses oak handles instead, picking up the veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is the base plinth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSilk Grey.
