Second, only to the actual bed as a bedroom furniture necessity is the humble wardrobe. Yes, bedrooms may be for sleeping, but they also serve an essential storage function.
Here at GetLocal we suggest taking a bit of time to consider what the right wardrobe is for you. The right wardrobe for your bedroom will be dictated by the available space.
Available Bedroom Space
A bed wraparound wardrobe could suit a medium-sized room, but this style often looks out of place in large rooms. Worse still wraparound wardrobes can look ridiculous in cramped spaces. Sliding wardrobes are certainly an option for most bedrooms. We recommend selecting a wardrobe that snuggly covers an entire wall rather than leaving an unused and unloved crevice.
Corner wardrobes are also an option for medium-sized rooms. They take advantage of the sometimes underutilised corner space. Recently, we have seen work and computer desks integrated into corner wardrobes; this acts as an innovative and space-saving home office solution.
The above innovation brings us to one of the most critical points about wardrobes: always be thinking about multifunction. Sliding wardrobes can be fitted with floor-length mirrors, which are great for creating the illusion of space. Vanity units can be integrated into corner wardrobes. And finally, for a tidier storage system, standing wardrobes should be fitted with a chest of drawers so your t-shirt and socks can stay forever segregated.
Also, who says a wardrobe needs to touch the ground. If you don’t have much floor space, consider having a vertical wardrobe fitted where your wall meets the ceiling. This can save on floor space without having to sacrifice storage.
