A sacred spot for stowing your favourite clothes, the best wardrobes deliver on both storage and style. Aside from your precious bed frame and mattress, it's probably the most key piece of furniture in a bedroom — and it'll undoubtedly take up a significant amount of space. So finding one that fits perfectly with the size and aesthetic of your room is key if you want to avoid it being a real eyesore.
Whether you're just looking for a small closet that'll provide some straightforward hanging space — or you're keen to configure a whole walk-in wardrobe or dressing room out of sleek modular units, we've thought about all possible requirements when curating this edit. And when it comes to style, we've covered off all the key aesthetics — from vintage and retro, to eclectic and Scandi.
So, if you like the sound of swapping out your bog-standard wardrobe for one that looks just as good as the winter outfits it's got hanging inside, keep reading …
What are the two main types of wardrobe doors? | What kind of internal storage should you be looking for? | How will your wardrobe arrive? | Our full reviews.
In terms of style, your wardrobe doors could have anything from mirrored fronts to classic panelling. The kind of look you’re after is completely up to you. But when it comes to how they actually open and close, there are two main types you’ll want to know about:
While a hanging rail is a given, it’s well worth thinking about whether you’re after a wardrobe that’s got any other types of storage, too. If you’re just intending to use this wardrobe to hang dresses, skirts, and coats — and you’ve got a separate chest of drawers or shelving unit for storing folded items — then a rail might be all that’s required.
However, if you’re looking for a wardrobe that’ll fit absolutely all your different items of clothing, then you’ll want more than just a rail. You could go for a simple double-door model that has a couple of deep drawers at the bottom — but if you’re after something a little more substantial, then modular units might be more up your street. Capable of covering a whole wall if necessary, these kind of faux fitted wardrobes can typically be customised to include all different kinds of shelves, rails, shoe racks, and drawers — and they look especially sleek in a dressing room or walk-in wardrobe.
Just so you can be sure of the size of the task ahead of you, it’s well worth double checking whether your wardrobe will arrive assembled or not. Generally, you’ll be able to find this information quite easily on the specific product page.
As you’d expect, pretty much anything from IKEA will arrive in flat-pack — but quite a few other brands also sell wardrobes that require self-assembly. Essentially, if it’s got a rectangular frame and hinged doors, then chances are you’ll be putting it together on your bedroom floor. Sorry!
Alternatively, if you don’t fancy lifting a finger, delivery drivers for high-end brands like Swoon and Heal’s will transport your wardrobe to your room of choice, and even do any necessary assembling. And custom pieces with multiple doors and compartments are generally assembled by the supplier on-site.
