Wardrobes and Armoires

Wardrobes and Armoires

A wardrobe carries more weight in a bedroom than almost any other piece, both literally and in terms of how much wall space it commands. Our wardrobes and armoires range spans 2 door wardrobes for smaller rooms through to triple formats for genuine capacity, in french style and solid wood finishes with mirrored and drawer options built in on select designs.

French Style Wardrobes for a Classic Look

A french wardrobe in this range brings carved or weathered detailing to the frame and doors, giving it presence beyond just storage capacity. French style wardrobe designs suit a bedroom already built around similar detailing elsewhere, such as a matching chest of drawers or a carved bed frame, since the wardrobe becomes part of a coordinated look rather than a standalone utility piece. French style wardrobes in a double sleigh-detailed format tend to work particularly well as the room's main storage centrepiece, given the presence the frame brings even before the doors are opened.

Door Configurations: 2 Door and Triple Formats

Two door wardrobes give a manageable footprint for most standard bedrooms, offering genuine hanging space without dominating a wall the way a larger format would. 2 door wardrobes in this range vary in internal configuration, so it's worth checking shelf and rail layout against what you actually need to store, not just the overall door count. A triple wardrobe steps up considerably in capacity, spanning enough wall length to work as the sole storage solution in a room rather than needing a separate chest of drawers alongside it. Choosing between a 2 door wardrobe and a 3 door wardrobe largely comes down to available wall length and how much hanging versus shelved storage your wardrobe needs to cover.

Wardrobes with Drawers and Mirrored Doors

A wardrobe with drawers combines hanging space with enclosed drawer storage in a single piece, useful for keeping folded items separate from hanging clothes without needing a second piece of furniture. Wardrobes with drawers in this range vary in how many drawers are built into the base, so check the specific configuration against your storage needs. A mirror wardrobe adds a full-length reflective surface built into one or more doors, which works particularly well in a bedroom without a separate freestanding mirror already in place. If you're specifically after a wardrobe with drawers and mirror combined, check individual listings carefully, since not every design in the range combines both features on the same piece.

White and Wood Finishes

A white wardrobe brings a lighter, more contemporary look to a bedroom, reflecting more available light than a darker wood tone and suiting a smaller room where a heavy dark finish might feel oppressive. Wardrobes white in tone tend to pair well with painted bedroom furniture elsewhere, keeping the room feeling bright rather than introducing a heavier visual anchor. A wooden wardrobe in oak or pine gives a warmer, more traditional alternative, with the natural grain doing much of the visual work rather than relying on paint or detailing.

Sizing and Fitting a Wardrobe to Your Room

Before choosing between 2 doors wardrobe formats and larger 3 door wardrobes options, measure the full wall length available including clearance for doors to open fully, since a wardrobe that technically fits against the wall can still become impractical if the doors can't swing open without hitting a bed or other furniture. Wardrobe with mirrors designs need particular attention here, since the mirrored door needs enough clearance to be genuinely useful for checking your reflection rather than being blocked by nearby furniture. Ceiling height matters too for a triple wardrobe or any taller format, so check the overall height against your room before committing, particularly in a bedroom with sloped ceilings or lower ceiling sections that could restrict how tall a piece will comfortably fit.

FAQs

How much wall space does a triple wardrobe actually need compared to a 2 door version?

A triple wardrobe needs considerably more wall length than a 2 door design, so measure the full width including any door swing clearance before assuming it will fit alongside other bedroom furniture.

Does a mirror wardrobe need extra care compared to a plain door design?

The mirrored surface should be cleaned with standard glass cleaner rather than furniture polish, while the surrounding frame is dusted the same way as any other painted or wood wardrobe.

Will a white wardrobe show scuffs more visibly than a darker wood finish?

Painted white surfaces can show scuffs and marks more visibly than a darker wood grain, so it's worth wiping the surface regularly rather than only cleaning when marks become noticeable.

Can I fit a wardrobe with drawers into a smaller bedroom without it feeling cramped?

A 2 door wardrobe with drawers built into the base generally has a similar overall footprint to a standard 2 door design, so it shouldn't add noticeably more bulk to a smaller room.

Are French style wardrobes heavier to move than plainer contemporary designs?

Carved and detailed frames can weigh more than simpler flat-panelled designs due to the additional material in the detailing, so factor this into delivery access planning for stairs or narrow doorways.
