When it comes to creating a stylish, organised bedroom, a wardrobe is more than just storage; it's a statement piece. At Obaro Home, we believe that your furniture should blend functionality with personality. That’s why we curate a diverse collection of modern, timeless and space-saving wardrobes, designed to make every room feel beautifully put together.
But with so many styles available, how do you know which wardrobe is right for you? Let’s explore the most popular types and help you find the perfect fit for your home.
1. Freestanding Wardrobes
The freestanding wardrobe is the most traditional option and still one of the most popular across UK homes. It’s loved for its flexibility and simplicity. You can move it around, replace it easily and find it in a range of materials from oak to high-gloss white.
Why choose freestanding wardrobes?
Easy to assemble and relocate
Available in endless finishes and sizes
Ideal for rented homes or redecorators
Design tip: Pair a tall freestanding wardrobe with a matching bedside cabinet from our Bedroom Collection for a balanced, cohesive look.
2. Fitted Wardrobes
If you prefer a seamless, modern aesthetic, fitted wardrobes are your best friend. These wardrobes are built directly into your walls, using every inch of available space perfect for rooms with sloped ceilings or awkward corners.
Benefits of fitted wardrobes:
Tailored to your room dimensions
Maximises storage in small spaces
Gives a clean, built-in look
According to British Furniture Manufacturers, fitted furniture demand in the UK has increased by over 30% in the past five years, as homeowners seek custom solutions for limited urban spaces.
3. Sliding Door Wardrobes
The sliding wardrobe is ideal for those who love sleek, contemporary design. Instead of swinging doors, the panels glide effortlessly, saving you precious floor space.
Why homeowners love sliding wardrobes:
Great for compact bedrooms or apartments
Stylish mirrored or glass panel options
Smooth, silent operation
Add subtle LED lighting inside your sliding wardrobe for a touch of modern luxury, a design trick that makes your clothes feel boutique-worthy.
4. Mirrored Wardrobes
For smaller rooms that need a little lift, mirrored wardrobes are a smart choice. The mirrors not only serve a practical purpose but also reflect natural light, making your space appear larger and brighter.
Advantages of mirrored wardrobes:
Doubles up as a dressing mirror
Visually enlarges small bedrooms
Adds a polished, modern touch
5. Corner Wardrobes
Don’t let tricky corners go to waste! Corner wardrobes fit neatly into unused areas, providing a surprising amount of storage without overwhelming the room.
Best for:
Small bedrooms or box rooms
Loft conversions
Student or guest rooms
At Obaro Home, our designers understand that not every home has the luxury of space which is why we offer furniture that’s compact, clever, and stylish.
6. Open Wardrobes
A newer trend making waves is the open wardrobe. Think of it as your own personal boutique clothes, shoes and accessories displayed beautifully in plain sight.
Why people love open wardrobes:
Easy to access and style
Keeps you organised and intentional with fashion
Creates a modern, airy feel
Open wardrobes are especially popular among minimalists and design enthusiasts who love a clean, curated look.
How to Choose the Right Wardrobe for Your Home?
Choosing the perfect wardrobe depends on your space, lifestyle, and design taste. Here’s a quick guide:
Small rooms: Go for sliding or mirrored wardrobes.
Spacious rooms: Try freestanding or walk-in designs.
