The British master bedroom is rarely as generous as those seen in glossy magazine spreads. Many of us are working with a room that holds a double bed, two bedside tables and very little else, leaving the wardrobe with a lot to do in a small footprint. Done well, the right wardrobe can hold a full season of clothes, hide the noise of everyday life and quietly improve how the entire room functions. Here are nine ideas we share with customers at Furniture in Fashion<\/a> when they ask how to make the most of a modest UK master.<\/p>\n Where the layout allows, a continuous run of wardrobes along one wall almost always feels calmer than two or three separate pieces. The eye reads it as a single architectural element rather than a row of competing furniture. Aim to take the wardrobe right up to the ceiling, since the space above standard height units is rarely useful and tends to gather dust. Browse our full wardrobes<\/a> selection for proportions that suit smaller rooms.<\/p>\n Hinged wardrobe doors need clearance to open, which is exactly what is missing in most compact bedrooms. A sliding wardrobe<\/a> opens without intruding into the room, which can be the difference between a bed that feels boxed in and one that breathes. Sliders are particularly useful when the wardrobe sits opposite the bed or close to the bedroom door.<\/p>\n One of the quietest improvements you can make in a small bedroom is adding a large mirror. Mirrored wardrobe doors double up the perceived size of the room and bounce daylight further into the space, which is especially useful in north facing or shaded bedrooms. Our mirrored bedroom furniture<\/a> includes wardrobes with full height mirror panels that disappear into the wall when viewed from the side.<\/p>\n1. Choose a Wall to Wall Wardrobe Run<\/h3>\n
