Hinged door wardrobes

Keep your clothing collection well organized

A good wardrobe should have ample space to store all of your clothing. Each person has their personal preferences for hanging and folding clothes. Pick a wardrobe that has the layout that suits the number of clothes that you hang versus fold.

Advantages of hinged wardrobes

When you use a wardrobe with a sliding door, you can only view half the contents at a time. A hinged wardrobe can be opened to view all the items within. Having a bird’s eye view of your clothing makes putting an outfit together so much easier. A hinged wardrobe can also have a mirror on the front of the door. The back of the door can be fitted with hooks or hangers to store lightweight items.

Measuring and placing a hinged wardrobe

A hinged wardrobe needs space in front of it for the doors to swing open easily. When you plan to buy a hinged wardrobe, also consider if there will be any obstruction to the doors swinging open easily. The doors of a hinged wardrobe can easily block the light to the interior. Ensure that there will be enough natural or artificial lighting for you to easily view the wardrobe contents. You can also use wardrobe lighting solutions for better light.

Shelves and baskets

Stretchy and knitted garments are better stored folded rather than hung on hangers. Hanging may stretch and distort these items of clothing. If a stack of neatly ironed and folded clothes brings you joy, you need a wardrobe with plenty of shelving. Baskets keep smaller items such as socks and kerchiefs neat and aired out.

Adjustable shelves

Bulkier clothes make higher stacks when folded and placed on a shelf. A wardrobe with adjustable shelves lets you change the placement and height of the shelves to suit your needs. You get more customisability and can adjust your wardrobe storage as your clothing collection evolves and changes.

Style, colour and finish

A wardrobe is one of the larger pieces of furniture in the room. It will get a lot of attention. Pick a wardrobe that matches the rest of the furniture in your room for a cohesive finish. Choose a colour or finish that will match the other design elements or furniture in the room. The design elements and textures of our designs give you a wide range of choices to suit different room styles.

Size

The size of the wardrobe that you choose should accommodate the size of your clothing collection. It should also fit into your room easily. Choose a size that will not overwhelm the rest of the furniture in the room. You can always pair the wardrobe with a chest of drawers for more storage. Pick pieces from the same design collection for the best match.  A taller wardrobe will give you more storage for the floor space that it occupies. We offer slim units that you can easily fit into a corner of a smaller bedroom.

Mirrors

A mirrored door gives your wardrobe added functionality. It also reflects light into the room and creates the feeling of more space. In a smaller room, you can save the space that would be taken up by a dressing table or wall mirror by using a mirrored wardrobe.
