To match a wardrobe to your TV bed, start with tone rather than an exact finish. Pick a wardrobe in a colour that sits within the same family as the bed upholstery, echo one detail such as handle metal or a wood accent, and make sure its doors open without clashing with the footboard or blocking the rising screen. Sliding doors are often the easiest option in UK bedrooms because they need no clearance to open, and they keep the wall opposite the bed clean and calm now that the television lives in the footboard.<\/p>\n
A TV bed changes the way a bedroom is planned. With no wall mounted television to accommodate, the wall opposite the bed becomes the obvious place for storage, and the wardrobe often ends up directly in your line of sight. That makes it worth choosing carefully. Our collection of modern TV beds UK<\/a> spans leather, fabric and velvet, and the principles below will help you choose a wardrobe that works with any of them.<\/p>\n When the television sits in the footboard, the view from the bed changes. Instead of looking at a screen, you look past the footboard to whatever is on the opposite wall. In many UK bedrooms, that is the wardrobe. If it is a different style or tone from the bed, the room can feel disjointed. If it coordinates, the bedroom reads as a single, settled scheme.<\/p>\n There is also a practical dimension. Wardrobe doors need space to open, and a TV bed needs clear space above and in front of the footboard. Planning the two together avoids awkward clashes that become irritating every morning.<\/p>\n Trying to find a wardrobe in exactly the same material as your bed is rarely necessary and can look overly uniform. Instead, think about tonal families.<\/p>\n Coordinating the wider room is easier when you can see pieces together. Our bedroom furniture UK sale<\/a> collections group wardrobes, chests and bedside cabinets by finish, which helps you build a scheme around your TV bed.<\/p>\n One shared detail can tie a bed and wardrobe together without making them look like a set. Options include:<\/p>\n Sliding doors open within their own footprint, which makes them well suited to rooms where space between the bed and the wardrobe is limited. They are also a natural fit for the wall opposite a TV bed, as they never swing into the footboard. Our range of sliding wardrobes UK sale<\/a> includes plain, gloss, wood effect and mirrored designs in a range of widths.<\/p>\n Hinged doors give full access to the interior at once and suit rooms where there is plenty of space in front of the wardrobe. Measure the swing of each door and check it clears the footboard comfortably, ideally with room to stand in front of the open wardrobe.<\/p>\n Mirrored doors bring light into a room and can make a small bedroom feel larger. With a TV bed, think carefully about placement, because a mirrored wardrobe directly opposite the bed may reflect the screen. Placing mirrored doors on a side wall usually gives you the extra light without the glare.<\/p>\n A wardrobe and bed should feel balanced. A very tall, wide wardrobe can overwhelm a low profile bed, while a small wardrobe can look lost opposite a substantial super king frame.<\/p>\n As a guide, a wardrobe that spans most of the wall opposite the bed tends to look intentional, especially if its height relates to the room rather than stopping awkwardly short of the ceiling. In rooms with lower ceilings, common in newer UK homes, a wardrobe that sits close to ceiling height can make the room feel taller.<\/p>\n Our full range of modern wardrobes UK<\/a> includes one door, two door and larger designs, so you can choose a size that suits both your storage needs and the scale of your bed.<\/p>\n Before you commit to either piece, sketch the room. Mark the bed, the footboard clearance, the wardrobe and its door swing, the bedroom door, the window and the radiator. Check that:<\/p>\n In narrow rooms, placing the wardrobe on a side wall rather than opposite the bed may work better. In square rooms, the wall opposite is usually the most natural position.<\/p>\n How a wardrobe looks matters, but how it works inside matters every day. Before you choose, think about what you actually need to store.<\/p>\n If your TV bed has an ottoman base, you may need less wardrobe space for bulky items such as spare bedding, which could allow a slimmer wardrobe and more floor space.<\/p>\n Some of the most appealing bedrooms deliberately mix materials. A soft velvet TV bed alongside a crisp white gloss wardrobe creates contrast between texture and shine. A leather bed beside a natural oak wardrobe balances tailored and organic. The key is to keep at least one link between the pieces, such as colour temperature or a repeated metal, so the contrast looks intentional.<\/p>\n Avoid mixing too many different woods or too many competing finishes in one room. Two main materials plus one accent is usually enough to keep the scheme lively without feeling chaotic.<\/p>\n TV beds are increasingly used in guest rooms, where they let visitors watch television without a separate unit. In these rooms, wardrobe space can be more modest. A slim two door wardrobe or a compact sliding design often provides enough hanging space for a short stay. Our article on wardrobe ideas for UK guest bedrooms<\/a> offers further suggestions.<\/p>\n Once the bed and wardrobe are in place, small details complete the look. Keep the top of the wardrobe clear, or use matching lidded boxes if you need the space. Add interior lighting to the wardrobe if possible, which makes it easier to see clothes in the darker months. Repeat the colour of the bed in a cushion, a throw or a rug near the wardrobe to help the two pieces read as part of one scheme. If you already own a mirrored design and are unsure whether to keep it, our article on upgrading a mirrored wardrobe in UK bedrooms<\/a> explores when it is worth changing and what to look for.<\/p>\n Matching a wardrobe to your TV bed is about tone, proportion and practicality rather than identical finishes. Choose colours from the same family, echo one detail, pick a door type that suits the space and plan the layout so everything opens freely.

Positioning mirrored doors on a side wall usually works better.<\/p>\n The wall opposite the bed is often the most natural position, as long as the doors open freely and the screen can rise without obstruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a TV bed, the television lives in the footboard, so the wall opposite the bed often becomes home to the wardrobe instead.
