Which Type of Wardrobe is Best?

With 40 years of expertise in luxury wardrobes, we regularly assist our customers with the enquiry: which type of wardrobe is best?

Finding a wardrobe that accommodates your needs requires accounting for your lifestyle needs. There are many types on the market - from robust designs with shelving and drawers ideal for maximum storage space to minimalist styles perfect for those who prefer an uncluttered look—the possibilities can be overwhelming.

Here’s what you need to know before investing in wardrobes: flexibility, size, material and design – each plays an important role when making this decision! When weighing up which option is right for you, it’s vital to remember one fundamental fact. No matter which style or finish you choose, having quality construction and ample storage solutions will ensure your wardrobe stands the test of time.

Freestanding wardrobes: The classic and versatile choice

Freestanding wardrobes are timeless pieces of furniture that never go out of style. They offer a well-organised and attractive way to keep your clothes, shoes, and accessories. This gives you the freedom to change things as you see fit.

The modern design of freestanding wardrobes is second to none: its classic styling makes it suitable for any bedroom while providing ample storage space.

Sliding doors are a terrific example of creative design that looks great and increases usefulness by keeping dust out and extending the life of your garments. With so many sizes, styles and finishes available today, investing in a beautiful freestanding wardrobe has surely become easier than ever.

Let this piece add character, organisation & charm to your home with minimal effort on your part – you'd be amazed at just how much difference it can make!

Fitted wardrobes: The customisable and space-saving choice

Furbambini can make fitted wardrobes like EZone Giorno Day Wardrobes by Furbambini with a range of materials, including wood, glass, and metal, and can vary the finishes in colours and textures to match your interior style. Plus, they offer a range of storage solutions, such as hanging rails, shelves, and drawers, all designed to meet your specific needs.

Another advantage of fitted wardrobes is their ability to integrate with your bedroom's architecture, making them a seamless part of the room. You can design them to include built-in lighting or mirrored doors, creating a functional and stylish addition to your bedroom.

One of the advantages of fitted wardrobes is their ability to maximise storage space in your room. Unlike freestanding wardrobes, which can take up valuable floor space, fitted wardrobes can be installed in awkward corners or under eaves, making the most of every inch of your bedroom.

So, if you're looking for a customisable and space-saving storage solution for your bedroom, fitted wardrobes are the way to go. With their range of options and ability to maximise storage space, they're an investment you won't regret.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

Choosing the right type of wardrobe for your needs

It might be difficult to choose the right wardrobe, especially if you are unsure of what you require. Here are some factors to keep in mind when choosing the right type of wardrobe for your needs:

Assess your storage needs

Buying a wardrobe is a significant investment. Thus ensure that it meets your storage needs. Before making a purchase, take the time to evaluate the amount of space required to store your clothing, shoes, and accessories, ensuring that you choose a wardrobe that can accommodate everything you need to store.

Consider the available space

When choosing a wardrobe for your bedroom or dressing room, account for the available space in your room. If you measure the area beforehand, the wardrobe you select will fit and won't occupy space, preventing the room from appearing cramped and cluttered.

Determine your style

While selecting a wardrobe, consider your preferences and the room's overall style. If you like a modern look, choose a wardrobe with clean lines and minimalist design elements. While a traditional style wardrobe might feature more ornate detailing and woodwork.

Choose the right material

When choosing a wardrobe, it's essential to consider the materials it's made from to ensure it will meet your needs. Wooden wardrobes are classic and durable but may require more maintenance than metal or plastic wardrobes, which are generally more lightweight and easy to clean.

Think about the storage features

When considering purchasing a wardrobe, assess your storage needs and determine which features are useful to you. If you have a lot of folded clothes, then shelves and drawers will be essential. While you’d need rails for hanging clothes.

Factor in your budget

When purchasing a wardrobe, determine your budget beforehand. Wardrobes can range significantly in price, from budget-friendly options to high-end designs, so knowing your budget will help you narrow down your options and choose a wardrobe that fits within your price range without breaking the bank.

Considering these factors, you can easily choose the perfect wardrobe that suits your needs, style, and budget. So take your time, do your research and find the wardrobe that's perfect for you.

Conclusion

Choosing the right wardrobe is an important decision that requires careful consideration of your needs, available space, personal style, storage features, and budget. By evaluating these factors and researching, you can find the perfect wardrobe that meets your storage needs, complements your room's decor, and fits your budget.
