How Do You Buy A Wardrobe?

As leading furniture experts, we are often asked: “How do you buy a wardrobe?

A wardrobe is an essential piece of furniture that helps keep your home organised and clutter-free. However, with so many options available in the market, it is overwhelming to choose a wardrobe that will suit your requirements.

If you are looking to upgrade your existing wardrobes, this guide will provide you with practical tips. Let's dive in and start exploring how to buy wardrobes for your home.

Assessing your wardrobe needs

There are several reasons you might need a new wardrobe for your home. Here are some signs that it might be time to invest in a new wardrobe:

Home renovation

If you are renovating your current home, you want to upgrade your wardrobe to match the new decor. Perhaps you want your new design concept to have a contemporary feel. Look at Wardrobe Design # 35 by Logo to fit your style. Its wardrobe's shiny appearance will add to the affluent atmosphere in your home.

Not enough storage

If your current wardrobe storage space is full of clothes, there's no room for anything else. A cluttered wardrobe can make it challenging to find the items you need. It can also make your space feel disorganised.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

Old or broken wardrobes

Your current wardrobe may no longer be functional due to age or damage. If there are any missing or broken pieces in your closet, you need a new storage wardrobe for your space. A busted roller or hinge won’t allow you to open your wardrobe smoothly.

Importance of accurate measurements of your space

Before you choose your new wardrobe, take accurate measurements of your space. This way, you’ll be aware of the size limitations of your home. Here's how to measure your space:

  • First, measure the length and width of the area where the wardrobe is placed - remember to include any doors or other obstructions that might limit where it can go.
  • Next, measure the height of the ceiling. It is crucial because it will help ensure that you can open and close the doors of your new unit comfortably.
  • Finally, measure any doorways or hallways in the room for your new wardrobe. By knowing this information, you can ensure there is enough space for delivery personnel to bring your new unit safely inside your house.

Choosing the right wardrobe design and material

Choosing the right wardrobe design and material is one of the most important things you'll do for your wardrobe. You want to ensure that the closet you choose is stylish and durable. The following are some of the most crucial criteria to consider while selecting a new wardrobe:

Material

The first thing to consider when deciding on a wardrobe is its material. Today, a range of materials are accessible, but each one has benefits and drawbacks. Here are some of the most popular wardrobe materials and their pros and cons:

  • Wood - Wood is a classic and durable material for wardrobes. It is available in natural wood to painted finishes and can be customised to fit your style. However, wooden closets require maintenance to prevent damage from humidity and moisture.
  • MDF - Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is another option made from wood fibres and resin. It is available in many finishes, and its smooth surface makes it easy to paint or decorate. However, it is not durable as solid wood and can be prone to chipping and cracking.
  • Metal - Metal wardrobes are sleek and modern and are commonly found in industrial or minimalist decor. They are durable and easy to maintain but may not match every style.

Design

Think about the design you want. Wardrobes come in different styles, such as traditional, modern, or contemporary. Consider the overall decor of your home and choose a design that complements it. We suggest the Ancora Floor To Ceiling Wardrobe by Tonin Casa. The classic and timeless design of the wardrobe gives it a traditional feel.

The design and style of the wardrobe should complement the overall decor of your room. Whether you prefer a traditional, contemporary or modern look, there are various designs and styles. Look for features like shelves, hanging rods, drawers, and mirrors, which can make the wardrobe more functional.
