Before anything else, grab your tape measure and note the width, height and depth of the spot where you want your new wardrobe to be. Remember skirting boards, window sills or radiators, and allow a little extra room so doors can open smoothly.
With accurate dimensions in hand, you’ll avoid the awkward “too big” or “too small” surprises and find a wardrobe that slots in neatly from day one.
Sliding wardrobes are a godsend in snug bedrooms. No clearance needed, and you get a a slick, modern edge.
Hinged and two or three-door options give full access to the interior and suit more generous rooms. Choose pieces with glass to bounce light around or opt for panelled MDF doors in soft grey or rich walnut.
Open wardrobes turn your clothes into décor. If you love a boutique feel and easy reach, these offer rails, shelves and cubbies on display. Ideal for those who want practicality with personality.
Think about what you’ll store. Long dresses need full-height rails, shirts and jackets suit half-height rails, while jumpers and jeans fold neatly on adjustable shelves.
If you like everything in its place, look for wardrobes with drawers, complete with soft-close runners for undisturbed mornings. For extra flair, look for models with pull-out shoe racks, tie holders or built-in LED lighting.
Your wardrobe should complement your room’s style. Go for bright, reflective surfaces in smaller spaces. Mirrored wardrobes or ones with gloss finishes will open up the room visually.
In larger or more traditional settings, natural wood-grain veneers in oak or pine add warmth and texture. If you prefer a calm, contemporary look, matt painted doors in chalky white, slate grey or dusky blush bedroom wardrobes will sit seamlessly against any wall colour.
The average double wardrobe is 2.2 m (H) x 3 m (W) x 70 cm (D); however, larger and smaller styles are available. Some designs feature additional rails, drawers, doors and compartments.
This depends on your space, home and style. Sliding wardrobe doors are perfect for compact spaces and move from side to side. Whereas wardrobes with swing doors open into the room and offer the widest view of your belongings.
Swing door wardrobes feature hinges enabling their doors to open outwards. They offer a full view of their contents and can be built in any shape – rectangular, corner shaped etc. While wardrobes with sliding doors are constructed on runners, allowing the doors to move from side to side. This makes them popular in small or compact spaces.
