Wardrobe with Drawers

A wardrobe with drawers earns its keep over a wardrobe alone – built-in drawer space replaces a separate chest of drawers in tighter bedrooms, and keeps folded items (jumpers, t-shirts, underwear) at proper hanging height rather than stacked at the bottom of the wardrobe. Our collection covers contemporary and classic pieces in a range of finishes.

Combined units take less floor space and read as a single deliberate piece rather than two coordinated ones. The trade-off is total capacity – a separate wardrobe and chest of drawers usually offers more storage volume than a single combined piece. For tighter bedrooms, the combined unit is usually the better answer.

Most wardrobes with drawers position them at the bottom (under the hanging space), which is the most efficient use of vertical volume since hanging clothes don't reach the floor. Some designs stack drawers next to a narrower hanging section. The right configuration depends on your clothing mix; if you have more folded than hanging items, look for a piece with more drawer-to-hanging ratio.

Single-occupant bedrooms typically suit 100-120cm wardrobes; couples need 160-200cm to share without compromise. The drawer section usually runs the full width or part-width depending on the design. Allow at least 60cm of clear floor in front of the wardrobe for door swing and drawer pull-out.

If the drawers replace a separate chest, yes – the combined cost is typically lower than two pieces of equivalent quality. If you'd otherwise have a wardrobe and a chest anyway, the saving is more about visual coherence and floor footprint than cost. Both routes are valid; the right answer depends on the room.
