Best wardrobes to buy for 2024

The Furniture Outlet Hampshire Blue Wardrobe

Best for sharing

Amazon
  • Dimensions: 130.5cm x 56cm x 190cm
  • Material: Oak and pine

With its rustic charm and high number of storage spaces, this large wardrobe from The Furniture Outlet ticks plenty of boxes.

The wardrobe features three doors so you can easily separate items, perfect for sharers. The drawers at the bottom are ideal for those garments that often lack their own space such as swimwear, pyjamas and holiday clothing. There's also a built-in mirror - a welcomed addition which saves you the hassle of buying, and finding the space for, a floor mirror.

We love the blue exterior. Place this wardrobe against dark colours for a modern, on-trend vibe, or it would look just as lovely in a beige bedroom for more of a contrast.

Laura Ashley Broughton Double Wardrobe

Best for a traditional look

John Lewis
  • Dimensions:199cm x 107cm x 65cm
  • Material: Birch wood

Laura Ashley furniture is always worth a browse if you're after an elegant piece for your room that oozes Georgian style. Available from John Lewis, the Broughton double wardrobe offers a timeless, almost regal look - perfect for a touch of French château charm.

We love the dark colour and richness of the birch wood, and the deep drawer at the bottom is sure to come in handy for towels and bedding.

Triple Door Oak Wardrobe

Best for maximum storage

Marks and Spencer

Dimensions: 200cm x 130.2cm x 65cm

Material: Oak wood

Another solid wooden wardrobe to consider, but this Marks and Spencer design offers a more contemporary look. Packed with a variety of storage options, this triple door wardrobe features drawers, a rail and a separate shelf compartment so you can keep everything in its right place.

The natural grain of the wood provides a lovely rustic finish, and as a lighter colour, we'd say this wardrobe would suit a light and bright room that benefits from lots of sunlight.

This wardrobe is part of Marks and Spencer's 'Spend and Save' deal. For more on this, and for more bargain finds, head to our homeware sales and deals page.

New Boys Elba Pink Mango Wood Wardrobe

Best for style

Oliver Bonas
  • Dimensions: 190cm x 100cm x 52cm
  • Material: Mango wood

Oliver Bonas is a fantastic stopping point for standout, quirky furniture. With its pop of pink and woven cane finish, we couldn't resist the popular retailer's mango wood wardrobe. Even the drawer pulls and handles have been decorated with a gold finish, so no part of this wardrobe has been left untouched. Add to your bedroom for an instant burst of eclectic charm.

Why not treat yourself to the matching desk for the most stylish of working from home setups?

Two Door Fernleaf Wardrobe

Best for storing long garments

Wayfair
  • Dimensions: 202.5cm x 186cm x 63cm
  • Material: Solid and manufactured wood

While this wardrobe is certainly on the more expensive end of the scale, this unique Wayfair design is a real statement piece for your bedroom. Perfect for a dark academia feel, surround with dark greens, house plants and wooden furniture to complete your look.

This model features sliding doors - a nice contemporary touch - and narrow built-in shelves. As there are no drawers at the bottom of this design, it would work well for storing longer garments such as suits and dresses that require more space.

Songmics Freestanding Wardrobe

Best for on a budget

Amazon
  • Dimensions: 112cm x 43cm x 165cm
  • Material: Non-woven fabric, metal and plastic

Clothes rails are a popular choice - a budget-friendly way to hang your clothes that shows off your gorgeous coats and outfits. This Songmics model offers more structure than a single clothes rail and has the benefit of shelves too - an open-plan wardrobe if you like. The shelves are ideal for holding accessories, or neat storage boxes and baskets perhaps, and you can use the rails for long coats, trousers, dresses and skirts.

If you've got a particularly colourful wardrobe, freestanding wardrobes are a nice way to break up a plain white wall. Plus, this design can be dismantled for easy transportation which should help take some of the hassle out of your next move!

Chantilly Wardrobe

Best for a touch of glamour

Graham & Green
  • Dimensions: 189 x 84 x 54.5cm
  • Material: Mango wood

The glamorous gold trim detail on this beautiful Graham and Green wardrobe really helps it stand out, and it works well against the more rustic light grey finish. Featuring one door, two drawers and a hanging rail - as well as pretty, decorative brass handles - this wardrobe is a fabulous find.

The full length mirror will help brighten a dark room, and thanks to the neutral finish, the wardrobe will work with all wall colours.

It's worth noting, the drawers are not on rollers, so while they may be stiffer, we're all for that traditional, antique touch.

Lynton 5 Door Wardrobe

Best for families

Dunelm
  • Dimensions: H 180cm x W 222cm x D 56cm
  • Material: Particleboard and MDF

This Dunelm design is basically three wardrobes in one, so if you're looking to cram as much into your wardrobe as possible - kids' toys, travel bags and bedding - this five door design could help you out. You've got three hanging rails, two drawers and two mirrored fronts with this design so you can fold, hang and store to your heart's content for the tidiest of spaces.

The straightforward white design will slot into an array of décor schemes making the Lynton wardrobe an effortless choice. It can also be wipe cleaned with a cloth - further lending itself to a busy family household.

With the option of adding matching drawers and side tables, you can easily create a uniformed and organised bedroom filled to the brim with storage options.

American-Style Metal Locker Storage Unit

Best for compact spaces

La Redoute
  • Dimensions: 43cm x 180cm x 50cm
  • Material: Metal

If you're struggling for space, and don't want a hefty wardrobe taking up the majority of your bedroom, a single door wardrobe could work a trick.

You'll likely have seen these American-style lockers around. You can find them in an array of fun colours so they make for sweet bedroom accessories. Available from La Redoute, and now on offer with a tempting 40% reduction, this light grey locker measures just 43cm wide, so it'll squeeze into compact spaces with ease.

This locker comes with three removable and adjustable shelves so you can jig thigs around to work for you.

You can even place a photo of your crush on the inside of the door if you fancy.

What to look for in a wardrobe

Storage

Think about what you're looking to store in your wardrobe, and how many people are going to use the wardrobe, before investing. If there's more than one of you, you may prefer a wardrobe with additional drawers and separate shelving so you can assign individual storage areas, and if you're looking to store shoes, bedding and towels in your wardrobe too, you could benefit from a three or four door design.

Features such as adjustable shelves can be particularly handy as you can build the wardrobe around your items and tailor it to your needs.

Size

We've all experienced measuring mishaps when filling our home with furniture, so make sure you've ordered the correct size before lugging it up your stairs! Luckily you can find designs that come in a variety of measurements (two or three door designs for example) so if you find a design you like the look of, you can find the right fit for your space.

Consider too whether the wardrobe comes assembled or not, as this can affect whether it'll fit through your door, or up your stairway. Some retailers provide a building service, whereas others deliver their wardrobes in pieces, so think about how much effort you want to put in on the DIY front.

If you have an alcove in your room that's calling out for some furniture, it may be worth finding an exact fit to complement your space perfectly.

Style

We're spoilt for choice when it comes to wardrobe styles. As wardrobes are expensive, a timeless piece that'll slot into any décor, and last for years to come, is a safe bet - sturdy, wooden designs are popular for a reason.

The standout designs embellished with colour, French cane doors and decorative door handles do however make for beautiful bedroom accessories, and if you like to keep your walls neutral, a standout wardrobe is an easy way to add character to your space.
