In many homes, a wardrobe is a utility - a piece of furniture where you store your clothes and your shoes. To me, an interior designer, a wardrobe isn’t just a utility, it’s a piece of art that finishes the aesthetics of a bedroom. This beautiful piece of bedroom furniture has been a staple in our homes since the early 14th century, it deserves to be a conversation piece. It can be more.
Of course, we know this and as a result, it may feel a little bit daunting when shopping for a wardrobe so here are some important factors to remember when doing so.
1. Storage (How much storage space do I need?)
2. Space availability (What space do I have in my room?)
3. Colour (What is my colour scheme and how best can I fit it?)
4. Finish (Oak, Pine, dark oak, gloss?)
5. Size (Two-door, three-door, drawers?)
When picking your wardrobe, you need to consider who it is and what its role will be. From the cool and clean-lined Scandi Oak 'Brunel', to the elegant and CHIC ‘Chantilly' a wardrobe is much more than just a piece of furniture. It has a purpose, it serves a function it must make you happy. This might include hanging and storing that very expensive debs dress that you will never wear again or maybe hiding those new shoes that you don’t want your partner to know about. Whatever it is your wardrobe will never seek to judge nor will it ask any questions, perhaps the real question is how will it best serve you and your secrets.
To answer this we must address the qualities of the wardrobe, for example, its size and storage.
Size
The size of a wardrobe determines its function as a utility, but it also determines its contribution to the room. The stunning two-tone, three-door, three-drawer Georgia is an ideal example of this. With the beautiful grey and solid oak finish on the outside accompanied by the vast storage space on the inside, which includes ample hanging space, large shelves and spacious drawers it serves as a real, three-in-one delight.
Because the Georgia is grand in stature, it might not necessarily be the one for you. Perhaps your beautiful home was an earlier build with quirky nooks and alcoves. Limited space and awkward angles could be factors that make for difficult wardrobe shopping. In cases like this, we call upon the quaint Hayley. Hayley is a petite two-door, one shelf, full oak wardrobe. She is dressed with decadent bronze knob handles and is a slender 90cm wide. Capable of making a statement in any bedroom, big or small nobody stands in her way.
Storage
While your space may be big but the feet that fill it may be small, it's always important to have somewhere that they can store all of their precious treasures whilst maintaining functionality keeping space for those pyjama bottoms, the Dreams is definitely up for the challenge.
This fearless and versatile wardrobe consists of one door and three drawers, not only that, but it also has two shelves that could possibly act as a podium for an impressive LEGO collection. Characterised by a crisp white exterior softened beautifully by wooden detail and shelving, the Dreams will definitely brighten up anyone's day, big or small!
As we can see there is much more to a wardrobe than what meets the eye. It’s functional art, capable of storing away all of our treasures. It’s a space holder with a purpose and so, deserving of a moment of appreciation. And although there are important factors to consider while choosing the perfect one to suit all of our needs, buying a wardrobe is an experience, one to enjoy. The day you choose that perfect wardrobe is the beginning of a relationship that will someday be a conversation, where you will say ‘A beautiful piece indeed, our wardrobe from EZ-Living Furniture’.
