Wardrobes by type
Our wardrobes come in various styles, so you can choose what's best for you and your bedroom.
Reach-in closets
Find your dream closet in the style, colour, and size of your choice. We have both open closets and closed wardrobes, shelving units, and even storage system combinations so you can choose easily.
Walk-in closets
With open wardrobes, you can easily find your favourite clothes, shoes, and accessories. Choose from PAX or ELVARLI - each storage system comes in a different style.
Sliding door closets
Wardrobes with sliding doors are ideal for small bedrooms. Unlike hinged door wadrobes, these closets don't require much space and furniture can easily be placed side by side.
Armoires
Choose an armoire for practical and space-saving storage. Our armoires come in various styles, including sliding doors, mirrored, or open armoires.
Mirrored door closets
Save space you would otherwise need for a vanity table or mirror by choosing a mirrored door closet. These wardrobes provide functionality with a classic feel and space-saving storage.
Kids' closets
They may be small now, but children grow up fast. A kid's wardrobe made to keep up with these changes does wonders. With interior fittings that you can adjust as they get older and shelf units perfect for everything from clean diapers to sports trophies, our children's wardrobes will see your kids through years to come.
Wardrobes by storage systems
Imagine no clutter in your home and always being able to find your things. Sounds like a dream? You can make it a reality with our storage systems. A storage system has parts, such as frames and shelves, that go together to make closet combinations in different sizes and shapes. You can design your own system from scratch using our planners or choose from an existing combination.
PAX system
Due to the industry-wide impacts of COVID-19 on the supply chain we currently have a significant supply delay impacting the availability of our PAX range. While we continue working closely with our suppliers and partners to replenish stock as quickly as possible, we cannot guarantee when supply will be available.
Our PAX wardrobes are like built-in wardrobes, except you get to decide it all – the size, style, doors and interior organizers to sort your things. Shop our existing combinations or design your own using the PAX planner. Our PAX wardrobes come with a 10-year warranty.
ELVARLI system
For storing clothes and shoes, ELVARLI is a flexible and beautiful open storage system with its modern white lines and durable bamboo shelves. Its click-in function makes it easy to assemble, disassemble and rearrange.
JONAXEL system
Say hi to JONAXEL, an affordable, flexible, and sturdy open storage system to help make your bedroom more organized. This storage system is also perfect for in-between areas like reach-in closets and hallways.
BOAXEL system
BOAXEL is a durable wall mounted storage system that will help make your bedroom more organized. This system is perfect for smaller walk-in wardrobes as well as areas like reach-in closets and laundry rooms.
Complete your wardrobe
Keeping your accessories and clothes organized is crucial for everyday convenience, stress-free mornings and flawless wardrobe control. From clothes organizers to closet lighting and additional dressers, you can find the right products to create a well-organized wardrobe for your bedroom.
Closet organizers
Choose from clothes boxes, hangers, shoe organizers, and more to achieve a clutter-free wardrobe. Our clothes organizers also come in different materials, colours, and styles so that you can choose not only the function – but also the look of your wardrobe organization.
Closet lighting
Do you find yourself grasping in the dark while looking through your wardrobe? Often, the light source in your room doesn’t quite provide the illumination you need to see all the way into your wardrobe. Wardrobe lighting is a practical and stylish solution to that common problem.
Dressers & nightstands
For additional storage, consider our dressers which you can combine with a wardrobe to complete your bedroom storage system. You can also explore our nightstands, which keep your things organized, easy to find, and easy to access.
