The Best Wardrobes for Every Bedroom: Find Your Perfect Match
Let’s face it—your wardrobe is more than just a place to toss your clothes at the end of the day. It’s a storage solution, a style statement, and, let’s be honest, sometimes the main focus piece of your bedroom.
Whether you’re tackling a mountain of clothes or just need something that fits seamlessly into your space, the right wardrobe can take your room from chaos to chic in no time. From sleek, minimalist designs to more traditional freestanding options, there’s a wardrobe for every personality, style, and size of space. So, let’s find you the perfect piece—your clothes (and your room) will thank you for it.
How to find the perfect wardrobe
Burford Double Wardrobe with Drawer in Natural Oak - £849
Finding the perfect wardrobe is like finding the perfect outfit: it has to fit your space, serve a purpose and look fabulous while doing it.
Material: Adding warmth and texture, wood is a classic option that never goes out of style, while MDF offers a budget-friendly option with smooth finishes. Contemporary mirrored wardrobes open up smaller rooms but can be prone to smudges.
Type: In smaller rooms where floor space is at a premium, sliding doors are a great space saver. Freestanding wardrobes offer flexibility and portability, while fitted wardrobes can make the most of every inch. Do you have an awkward-shaped room or too many clothes spilling out of your current wardrobe? Modular wardrobes let you customise based on your needs.
Size: Consider your room dimensions and storage requirements before making your choice—a large wardrobe can overwhelm and take over a small room, but a smaller unit might not provide enough storage.
Style: Match your wardrobe style with your other bedroom furniture and décor. Classic wooden options can offer intricate carvings and grain details compared to Scandinavian pieces, which blend natural wood with clean finishes for a more relaxed feel.
Budget: Affordable options may offer simpler designs with added practicality, while mid-range and premium wardrobes often come with added features, customisation and better quality, making them a long-lasting investment.
Best wardrobes for every style
The perfect wardrobe should mix equal parts style and function, transforming your bedroom into a space that’s as organised as it is beautiful.
Wooden wardrobes for timeless elegance
A wooden wardrobe adds classic elegance, and the Burford Double Wardrobe with Drawer in Natural Oak is no exception. An excellent example of how timeless materials like oak can elevate your bedroom, with its whitewashed finish, this wardrobe suits traditional country homes as much as it does Victorian city terraces.
Just as no two trees are alike, this wardrobe is thoughtfully crafted and features unique grain patterns, ensuring each wardrobe is a one-of-a-kind work of art and comes with a spacious hanging area and a handy lower drawer for storing smaller items.
Mirrored wardrobes for modern and space-enhancing designs
Mirrored wardrobes are the secret weapon for making any room feel bigger and brighter. By bouncing light around, mirrored wardrobes open up small bedrooms and add just enough visual interest without being too flashy—perfect for creating a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Black wardrobes for sleek and bold interiors
If you're craving something bolder, a black wardrobe is the statement piece your bedroom needs. Adding instant sophistication, it contrasts beautifully against lighter walls and furniture. The clean lines and minimalist appeal let your wardrobe shine without overwhelming the room, adding just the right amount of drama.
White wardrobes for bright and minimalist spaces
White wardrobes create an open, minimalist feel thanks to their bright finish that instantly makes spaces look larger and more open. Ideal for modern and Scandinavian-inspired rooms, white wardrobes keep the room feeling fresh and uncluttered and are a great option if you want to maintain a neutral colour palette or want a versatile storage piece that works easily with bold accents.
Kids' wardrobes for practical and playful storage
Kids' wardrobes add personality to your child's room with bright colours, playful designs and clever features to create a space where children can take pride in keeping things tidy. Look for wardrobes with adjustable shelves and lower hanging spaces so your little ones can easily reach their belongings. With the right wardrobe, your child's room becomes a practical storage solution and a fun reflection of their personality.
Choosing the best wardrobe size for your space
When choosing the right wardrobe, size matters. Luckily, your room’s layout and available space will naturally guide you into picking a wardrobe that fits without looking out of place.
Best wardrobes for small bedrooms

In smaller bedrooms, every inch counts. Look for wardrobes that maximise vertical space and offer plenty of storage without taking up too much floor area. Choose a slim, freestanding wardrobe or one with sliding doors to save space while still providing storage or opt for neutral tones and minimalist designs to keep the room airy and uncluttered.
Best wardrobes for medium-sized bedrooms
Medium-sized bedrooms offer more flexibility when it comes to wardrobe choices. Consider a design with a combination of hanging space and drawers to house your clothes and balance practicality with style. A wardrobe with a clean, modern design, like the Chalbury Double Wardrobe in Warm White (pictured above,) blends well with the rest of your décor, enhancing your room's layout while keeping things organised and stylish.
Best wardrobes for large bedrooms

With generous storage space, it'll keep your clothes and other essentials neatly tucked away while filling up empty space that can make a large bedroom feel stark and cold.

From sliding doors that save space to luxurious walk-in wardrobes, the right wardrobe should match your space, style and storage needs with the perfect design.

Fitted wardrobes for seamless integration
Ideal for rooms with awkward layouts, fitted wardrobes can be custom-designed to meet your style and storage needs. Designed to fit the area perfectly, fitted wardrobes utilise every inch of floor space and blend effortlessly with your bedside tables and the rest of your room, giving it a sophisticated, polished finish.

Whether you're storing seasonal clothes or need extra space for your impressive accessory collection, a modular wardrobe puts you back in control, allowing you to build a wardrobe that grows with you and adapts to your lifestyle.
Walk-in wardrobes for luxurious and spacious organisation
If you have the space to spare, a walk-in wardrobe can be the ultimate indulgence, offering a dedicated area for all your clothes and accessories, with plenty of room to move around.
Perfect for fashion lovers and anyone who values organised, accessible storage, walk-in wardrobes can be customised to include drawers, shelves, hanging rails and even full-length mirrors, turning your wardrobe into a personal dressing room.
Choosing the best wardrobe based on your budget
Oh, if only budgets didn't exist! Choosing the perfect wardrobe would be a breeze, and we'd all be living in walk-in closets filled with sleek, custom pieces. Unfortunately, most of us have to keep an eye on the budget for furniture, but whether you're looking for an affordable option that does the job or ready to splurge on something premium, there's a wardrobe for every price point.
Best affordable wardrobes
When you’re working with a budget, affordable doesn’t have to mean boring and bland. At this price point, you’ll still find plenty of wardrobes on the market that maximise space without skimping on durability or design. Look for simple, freestanding designs or sliding doors that save space while offering great storage without sending you into your overdraft.
Best mid-range wardrobes
Mid-range wardrobes often feature more durable materials like solid wood or high-quality MDF with extra features like integrated drawers or adjustable shelves. If you're after something with additional character and style (but with a lower price tag), modular or customisable wardrobes can give you both the style and storage you're after without going overboard.

FAQs
What wood is best for wardrobes?
Solid wood like oak, maple and pine are popular choices for wardrobes due to their durability and timeless appeal. For a more budget-friendly option, MDF is commonly used thanks to its versatility and can be made to mimic wood textures while being more affordable.
What is the average cost of fitted wardrobes UK?
The cost of fitted wardrobes in the UK typically ranges from £1,000 to £3,000, depending on the materials, size and complexity of the design. More luxurious options with custom designs and high-end materials can push the price even higher. However, you can often find more affordable fitted wardrobes if you stick to simpler designs or semi-fitted options.
Is it better to have fitted wardrobes?
Fitted wardrobes can be a great choice, especially in smaller or awkwardly shaped rooms. To maximise storage potential, fitted wardrobes can be tailored to suit your needs, resulting in a clean, organised look that makes the most of your available space. However, freestanding wardrobes might be a better option if flexibility is a priority.
