2,354 Wardrobes & Armoires

In your bedroom, the main thing you'll need to store is your clothes. No matter how ruthless you are with getting rid of old shirts, trousers, tops and jackets, you'll still need a place to store away your garments and this usually means a wardrobe. Built-in wardrobes will fit seamlessly into a room but will need more space, planning and building work than a freestanding wardrobe, so it's best to only install one if you are starting from scratch or completely renovating a room. Freestanding wardrobes and armoires, however, will be smaller but more affordable and can be moved about the room how you wish. You can still choose a large freestanding wardrobe if you need a lot of storage space, as you'll be able to find 3, 4 and even 5 door wardrobes, with added drawers, shelves and all manner of storage areas to hold your clothes.

If you really don't need a large wardrobe then consider single door wardrobes or canvas wardrobes. A single door wardrobe will give you space for hanging a small selection of clothes and may have a drawer or two beneath the hanging area. Canvas wardrobes or open rails are simple but effective ways of storing, and displaying, your clothes and accessories. Simple to install and move around, canvas wardrobes often have a rail, a few shelf compartments and possibly a shoe rack, and if you are proud of your collection of clothes they let you show them off to the world and make a feature out of them in your bedroom. If you like a more classic look and want a bit more storing space, armoires (classically designed French wardrobes with elaborate panelling and finishes) will usually have at least two doors and some drawers, and will look right at home in a vintage or traditionally styled bedrooms.

Wardrobes often come with additional features which can be useful for storing and trying on clothes. Mirrored panels and doors will help to lighten the room and let you see what your outfit looks like, while drawers, compartments, extra rails, shelves, hooks and lights inside the wardrobe will make organisation so much easier. If you're trying to limit the space that the wardrobe takes up, sliding wardrobes can help. Having sliding doors instead of ones that open outwards will mean you have more space in front of your wardrobe.

Pine panelling is probably what comes to mind when you think of a wardrobe, but there are so many other materials and styles available. Go for distressed painted wood for a shabby chic look, black or white high gloss finish to fit in with a contemporary style, or a dark wood for a classic or retro feel. You can also think about the small details such as the handles and whether you want contrasting or matching hardware.
