HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT WARDROBE FOR ANY SPACE
Finding your perfect wardrobe can be tricky and become overwhelming therefore, it is best to take it step by step and consider all aspects to ensure you get the wardrobe of your dreams.
UTILIZATION COMES FIRST
Consider the usage and functionality of your wardrobe, think about what is going into your wardrobe and therefore what storage space you mainly need. Hanging space for clothes and coats, drawers for lingerie or trousers, shelves for shoes, cosmetic or accessories storage? There is plenty you need to consider. Also, keep in mind the proportions of your clothes, you may have a range of long coats which will require full length hanging space. Many wardrobes offer brilliant innovative interior designs which include built-in drawers, shoe racks, jewellery and accessories.

SIZE
Ensure you have chosen and measured up where you would like your wardrobe to go so that it fits in your space perfectly, this may be a final decision for some if you choose to go for a fitted wardrobe therefore make sure your measurements are correct. Consider how large or small your wardrobe is going to be and how much will need to go into it. If you’re on a flexible budget a main tip is the bigger the better as you can never have enough storage space. Think about the height of your wardrobe compared to your ceiling, if possible, go as high to the ceiling as you can to maximise storage and ensure no excess pace goes to waste.

SELECT A TYPE OF WARDROBE
This is a very important part of the process as there are a range of different type wardrobes therefore you must find which works best for you. However, this may also on other factors such as budget. If you are wanting, go for a fitted wardrobe as a pose to a free standing one this is going to cost more money. Although if you have a difficult or unique shaped space a fitted wardrobe would be the better option as it will give a sleek look to the room and maximise space efficiently. If you have a flexible budget and plenty of space, go for the walk-in wardrobe of your dreams as you can never have enough storage, and this allows you to visually see everything clearly. You may want to go for an open wardrobe without any doors so that this allows you to see everything clearly and have good accessibility. However, if you are someone who likes to keep things neat and tidy either a two-door or three-panel door wardrobes would be best for you. You can also decide between a sliding or hinged wardrobe, if you are maximised for space the better option would be a sliding door as this will allow functional accessibility.

REFLECT YOUR STYLE
There are many different styles of wardrobes to choose from in what material and finish you decide to have. The design of your wardrobe will need to compliment and fit in with the theme and colours within your space as it is such a large piece of furniture and therefore will have a big impact. Consider what your favourite style of design is or what theme your room reflects the most, this may be a Scandinavian style room with neutral tones therefore you may want to go for a rattan material on your door. Alternatively, there is high gloss for luxury modern styles, mirrored doors, rustic woods or contemporary paints complimented nicely with a shaker style door. Small touches also make a big difference to the style such as handles, you may decide to go for slim-brushed chrome handles, glass knobs, brass ring pulls or T-bar. LED lights inside the wardrobe is also a luxurious yet practical aspect to have within your wardrobe to allow you to see everything clearly.

RESEARCH RETAILERS THAT SUIT YOU
Once you have finalised everything it is now time to choose your retailer! Research is very important when choosing your retailer as you want to get the specific style you are looking for and if on a budget it is best to get multiple quotes so that you get the most value for money. When researching for your retailer depending on whether you are going for a fitted or free-standing wardrobe you may want to go for a wardrobe company such as Sharps, FCI London, Neville Johnson, JLH, The Heritage wardrobes, Hammonds. Alternatively, you could look at high street brands and find a trendy unique free stranding or fitted wardrobe such as Chaplin’s, Roche Bobois, IKEA, MADE, Swoon, West elm, Habitat, Heals Graham & Green.
