Freestanding Wardrobes Built for Everyday Life
A wardrobe is often the biggest piece in a bedroom. It needs to store a lot and still look good. Freestanding wardrobes give you flexibility. They're easier to move than fitted units and cost less.
Measure Carefully
Start with the wall space. Then check the ceiling height, including any coving or sloped ceilings. Allow room for doors to swing open fully. Hinged doors need about 50 to 60cm of clear space in front.
Don't forget the route into the room. Measure doorways, stairs and landings. Most wardrobes arrive flat-packed or in sections for easier access.
Inside the Wardrobe
- Hanging rails – for shirts, dresses and coats.
- Shelves – for folded jumpers, bags and boxes.
- Drawers – for smaller items and accessories.
Think about what you own most. Long dresses need full-height hanging. Lots of knitwear suits more shelves.
Our Wardrobe Ranges
Newton wardrobes bring natural oak and Danish-inspired lines. Rutherford offers a rustic oak look at great value. Horner has a warm oak finish and soft corners. Each range includes matching bedroom furniture.
Need Something Made to Fit?
Alcoves, sloped ceilings and loft rooms can be tricky. Our team designs fitted wardrobes made to measure. See examples in our previous projects or ask about bespoke furniture.
Complete the room with a chest of drawers, bedsides and a matching bed.
