Wardrobes – Stylish Storage for Every Bedroom
Shopping for a wardrobe can feel overwhelming when you are not sure what size, style, or finish will work best in your room. At The Urban Furnishing, we keep things simple. Browse single, double, triple, and 4-door wardrobe options across our high-gloss, mirrored, and drawer wardrobe ranges, pick the size that fits your wall, and get it delivered free anywhere in the UK.
In this article, we will be discussing what to expect, what styles really work, and some specific styles that you should consider.
Why Wardrobes Are Essential in UK Bedrooms?
Technology is not renowned for boasting a large storage space in the UK. Flats especially. Hanging space, shelves, and drawers all in one unit keep the room tidy and don't require extra furniture.
As is commonly known, the common error that many people commit when in search of a top-notch record shop is purchasing based on appearance. Frustrating doors and drawers that don't slide smoothly or fit properly in the drawer are a daily annoyance, especially when you are in a hurry, and the bottom drops out. A job well done is just as important as a finished product.
Popular Wardrobe Styles in the UK
Here are some popular wardrobe styles in the UK:
Sliding Door Wardrobes
Sliding doors are the obvious choice when floor space is tight. The doors track sideways, so you are not losing a metre in front of the wardrobe every time you open it. Porto 2 Door Wardrobe is a good example with a full sleek finish, built-in LED lighting, and two width options at 125 cm and 165 cm. Useful if you want something that looks fitted without the fitted price.
Hinged Door Wardrobes
Hinged doors open wide, which means you can see everything at once without shuffling panels across. Better for larger bedrooms where you have the floor space. Verona 2 Door Wardrobe has a sleek front, integrated mirror, and drawer storage built in, available in white, grey, dark grey, and black. For tighter rooms, the Verona 1 Door does the same job in a narrower footprint.
Mirrored Wardrobes
Mirror uses double duty for a wardrobe door. Bounces the light around and makes the room feel enlarged, and saves on having to have a separate full-length mirror, eating up wall space. This is a feasible exchange in a small bedroom.
Cheap and Matte Finishes
Gloss reflects light and gives the room a sharper, more polished look. Matte is softer and tends to feel more relaxed. Neither is objectively better; it depends on the bedroom. The Verona range runs from the 1 Door all the way up to the 4 Door Wardrobe and comes in both gloss and mirrored options.
Choosing the Right Wardrobe for Your UK Home
Here are some things to consider when choosing a wardrobe for your UK home:
Consider Room Size
A sliding wardrobe works well in a small London flat. A three or four-door hinged wardrobe suits a larger master bedroom. The Verona 3 Door Wardrobe and Verona 4 Door Wardrobe follow the same design as the smaller models, so scaling up does not change the look of the room.
Lifestyle
The wardrobe takes a beating when children, pets, or a hectic home ruled or managed by a family are involved. Search for drawers with correct runners, soft closing doors, and surfaces that can be wiped clean without smearing. All this information helps to make its use much less annoying.
Match Your Bedroom Decor
Here, a white gloss opens a smaller room up. That's mirrored doors taking it up a notch. Darker hues, such as grey or black, have the capacity to absorb more light as well, but can also provide more dimension and depth that can bring a less clinical appearance. The Verona range has white, grey, dark grey, and black options, so it shouldn't be hard to find a ceramic that will install in the room without painting.
Corner Wardrobes
For rooms with awkward layouts, corner wardrobes make use of space that would otherwise go to waste. The Verona 1 Door Corner Wardrobe and the Verona Corner 2 Door Wardrobe carry the same handles, hinges, and gloss finish as the rest of the Verona range.
Budget and Quality
Cheap wardrobes feel cheap within six months. The drawers start catching, the doors start drooping, and the surface chips. A slightly higher upfront cost on something solid usually means not replacing it for a long time.
