Bedroom wardrobes are possibly the most commonly used wardrobes and come in a range of different designs. The design you choose will depend on a number of factors including the style that you wish to furnish your bedroom in, the amount of space you have available and whether you want the wardrobe to remain permanently fixed to the room or able to be taken with you when you leave.

When talking about wardrobe designs you might consider one of three wardrobe options: walk-in, fitted or stand-alone.

When designing a fitted wardrobe you will have to take into consideration the type of wardrobe doors you will need. Are they going to be sliding doors or swinging doors? Will they be made from oak, pine, glass or plastic? What color will they be painted? What about the patterns that will feature on the front…or should they be plain? Here is some more information about what to think of when buying a fitted wardrobe.

The stand-alone wardrobe comes in many guises. From the simple single door pine wardrobe to the large bedroom suite with 3 and even 4 doors there is a tremendous range of choices available to you. Buying a stand-alone wardrobe gives you a great deal of flexibility. You don’t necessarily have to walk into a furniture store and hope the wardrobe you think will meet all of your storage needs will be sitting on display. If you have something specific in mind you can commission a wardrobe to be made especially to your specifications, catering to the needs that you believe you will have. This is known as a custom-made wardrobe and there are many master craftsmen available who can build a wardrobe to spec.

Naturally, custom-made wardrobes cost a great deal more than wardrobes that have been made in bulk, but by doing it this way you have more control over the materials used, the dimensions of the cabinet, the interior and its configuration and the detailing that is added to the exterior.

Wardrobe design within the wardrobe itself is a very important factor for maximising the amount of space that is available. There are storage solutions available that will provide you with extra hanging space and added shelf space that you may not have even realized was available. The decision between how much long hanging space and how much short hanging space will have to be worked out before you start stocking your new wardrobe. Take a look at this brief article about wardrobe storage.

Walk in wardrobes are very popular for the simple reason that they provide you with ample amounts of storage that is kept in what appears to be a room all of its own. Who wouldn’t want the luxury of simply walking into a small room where their clothes are hung along the walls and simply making a choice without having to dig through the tight confines of a wardrobe?

The walk in wardrobe is not going to be available for every person for the simple reason that they require more space than many homes can provide.

No matter what type of wardrobe you end up looking for you can be comforted to know that whatever your needs and preferences, they will be covered in a store somewhere. And if they aren't, you can have them made for you.

Upon choosing the perfect wardrobe for the bedroom, there are many issues one may want to consider: cost, measurement, size, type of wood, style, finish, or whether it's for long-term or short-term use. For example, pine wardrobes can ding and dent easily, whereas oak can withstand a bus hitting it at forty miles-an-hour. Furthermore, storage space for shoes, bedding, luggage, etc. may be at the top of the list for some. Amazingly, besides traditional wardrobe designs, there are more and more low-cost alternatives that measure up in quality to elite brands.

There are a myriad of wardrobe designs and styles that include oak, a painted finish look, dark wood, ones with sliding-doors, those with rustic charm, contemporary, Indian, French, etc. There are also a large amount of great value wardrobes that can aesthetically stand next to some of the premier brands. The designers behind the Rauch, Kent and Sherwood brands have unremittingly created high quality at low cost. When you design a wardrobe there are factors to consider such as the hanging garment priority, sliding door fitting, folding door compartments, and many others.

Now moving away from the great-value styles, here are a couple other available traditional designs: fitted wardrobes usually offer the best space options, and can fit into awkward spaces, like tilted ceilings and off-center walls, but keep in mind that fitted wardrobes usually need to be put together by an expert. Another type are the freestanding wardrobes, they are extremely versatile with regard to styles, cost, etc.: and they are easily transportable, whereas some fitted wardrobes, once they are set-up, are fixed within the home. You may be able to find a freestanding wardrobe that comes in a range of wood types such as dark or white oak, pine, maple, mahogany or walnut. Alternatively the wardrobe you prefer is already painted. The thing to remember about wardrobes is that they should be built to last, and with proper care they should last a lifetime and more.

For those crafty, creative types, perhaps building their own wardrobe is the right answer. You may come to the conclusion that you can come up with a wardrobe design that is better than anything you have been able to find on display. In that case, maybe it's time to build a wardrobe from the ground up. This initially requires accurate measurements for the room: next, find out the proper dimensions for the door opening. Is the wardrobe for one or two people? The answer to this question determines how many compartments are needed. Consider storing methods and accessibility: drawers for underwear, shelves, hanging space for garments, etc. It is wise to be practical in terms of space. There are an abundance of styles for traditional wardrobes, as well as cost-effective, and do-it-yourself options.

If you don’t have the capacity for doing your own design you may prefer to pass on your ideas for by hiring a professional wardrobe designer. This may be the best of all worlds with your personal preferences being translated by someone with experience in the business of wardrobes design.

The most common place you will find a wardrobe is in the bedroom and there are a number of places you can go to get an expert who specializes in producing a bedroom wardrobe design for their clients. It doesn’t matter whether you need something for fitted wardrobes or you are after walk in wardrobe designs the principle will be the same. You will need to supply the number of clothes that will have to be stored, the types of clothes that will be housed and the number of people who will be using it.

The main criteria, when all is said and done is that you are left with a wardrobe that meets your needs both in the external appearance and the functionality. Bedroom wardrobe designs help maximize the space that you have available to you, it appeals to your aesthetics and should leave you with a piece of furniture that you are proud to display in your bedroom.
