From the shade of paint on your walls to the style of your bed frame, there are lots of things to consider when designing your bedroom. But one design choice that's sometimes left as an afterthought – your bedroom storage – is perhaps the most crucial of all. If you're not blessed with premium fitted wardrobes, you'll need to invest in a freestanding wardrobe that suits your style and needs.
Unless you're a fan of the makeshift 'clothes chair', a freestanding wardrobe could be all that stands between you and your bedroom turning into a mountain of clothes. And while investing in a new wardrobe may not turn you into the next Marie Kondo, it can offer a practical bedroom storage solution that will banish clutter and add style to your space.

Traditional Grey Freestanding Wardrobe
Julian Bowen Richmond Double Wardrobe with 1 Drawer
Freestanding wardrobes offer the benefit of extra space. They come in various shapes and sizes, with many modern designs having the added bonus of shelves, drawers and multiple hanging rails. For smaller homes, you'll even find compact options that utilise vertical space and provide ample storage without hogging the square footage.
Perhaps the biggest plus is its versatility. Though it's unlikely you'll move your wardrobe around a lot, having a freestanding option gives you flexibility if you're renting – or if you're just in need of a rearrange for some good feng shui.
These days, freestanding wardrobes also boast heaps of aesthetic appeal. From French-inspired armoires to rustic one-of-a-kind pieces, there are plenty of styles for you to showcase your interior style. Why not coordinate your freestanding wardrobe with other bedroom furniture pieces, such as a chest of drawers, to bring your look together?
