In a master bedroom, the wardrobe should do two jobs at once: hold considerably more than a spare room unit, and look calm enough that you are not confronted by storage the moment you wake. The six approaches that achieve both are a full wall run, a symmetrical pair, a sliding front, a dressing zone, a wardrobe and drawers combination, and a wardrobe with an open display section.<\/p>\n
Which of these suits you depends less on taste than on the shape of the room and where the door, window and radiator fall. Master bedrooms in British homes are rarely large enough for the arrangement to be arbitrary, so the practical constraints usually narrow the choice to two or three options before style enters the conversation.<\/p>\n
Running wardrobes across an entire wall, ideally the wall opposite or adjacent to the bed, gives the greatest capacity per square metre of floor. Because the run reaches wall to wall, there are no awkward gaps at the ends collecting dust, and the wall reads as a single plane rather than a series of objects.<\/p>\n
This works best on a wall without a window or radiator. Keep the finish quiet, since a full wall of strong colour or heavy grain becomes the dominant element in the room. Our modern wardrobes UK sale<\/a> includes wide units that can be combined to cover a full wall without the cost of bespoke joinery.<\/p>\n Two matching wardrobes flanking the bed create an immediate sense of order, and they solve a problem common in older houses where a chimney breast splits the main wall into two alcoves. The bed sits in the recess between them, which also makes the headboard feel deliberately framed.<\/p>\n The requirement is space on either side. Allow at least sixty centimetres of clear floor in front of each wardrobe door, and check that the bedside table still fits between wardrobe and bed. Where space is tight, a wall mounted shelf can replace the bedside entirely.<\/p>\n Master bedrooms often contain a larger bed than any other room, which means less circulation space than the floor area suggests. Sliding doors remove the swing entirely, allowing a wardrobe to sit directly opposite a king size bed without the doors fouling the mattress.<\/p>\n The trade off is partial access, so plan the interior with that in mind and keep everyday items in the sections that open most conveniently. You can compare configurations across our sliding wardrobes UK sale<\/a> range before deciding whether sliding or hinged suits your layout.<\/p>\n Few homes have space for a separate dressing room, but most master bedrooms can accommodate a dressing zone: a wardrobe, a mirror, a seat and a small surface grouped together in one corner, ideally near a window for natural light.<\/p>\n2.
