What Is the Best White Wardrobe?

White is the most requested wardrobe colour in UK bedrooms and also the least forgiving, because it shows every difference in tone and every mark. The right choice comes down to two things: matching the finish to the light in the room, and matching the interior to what you actually own. In this guide we compare matt, satin and gloss white and explain how each behaves in a bright room and a north facing one, then tackle the detail that catches most people out, which is that furniture whites fall into cool, neutral and warm families that clash badly if mixed. We also cover door types and handles, the specification checks that reveal quality on a white unit, how to place a large white wardrobe so it does not dominate a small bedroom, and the simple cleaning habits that keep a white finish from turning grey at the edges....
