Children’s Wardrobes for Everyday Family Life

School shirts, spare bedding, favourite jumpers and clothes bought a size ahead: children’s rooms have plenty to accommodate. A childrens wardrobe needs to make those things easy to organise while leaving enough room for everything else that happens in the bedroom.

At Woodlands Furniture, our children’s collection includes wardrobes handmade to order in England, with compact two-door designs, models with extra drawers and options that bring bookshelves into the same piece. Choose around the clothes you need to store, the space available and the way you want the room to feel.

Start with the Clothes, Then Choose the Storage

Before choosing a kids wardrobe, look at what will actually go inside it. Dresses, school uniforms and coats need hanging space. Pyjamas, leggings and smaller items are often easier to find in drawers. If most clothes are folded, a design with several drawers may be more useful than one chosen mainly for its hanging compartment.

For a nursery wardrobe, think beyond the first few months. Leave room for longer clothes as your child grows, and decide where spare blankets and the next clothing size will go. A little planning now can save you from adding another storage unit sooner than expected.

Find the Layout That Suits Your Room

Compact wardrobes with two useful drawers

The Kiddies White Plain-Door Two-Door, Two-Drawer Wardrobe measures approximately 152 cm high, 80 cm wide and 52 cm deep. Its combination of hanging storage and two drawers is worth considering when a smaller bedroom needs both within one piece. Plain white doors also give you freedom to change bedding and wall colours later.

For a softer colour combination, consider the Country Kiddies Two-Drawer Wardrobe in Ivory. It has the same listed overall dimensions and is pictured with an ivory finish and Light Oak-finished top and bottom. That contrast could work well alongside warm flooring or existing wooden furniture.

Clothing storage with a place for bedtime books

The Kiddies Triple Four-Drawer Wardrobe with Open Bookcase brings several storage needs together. Pictured in pink with a white frame, it measures approximately 151 cm high, 120 cm wide and 52 cm deep.

Its open bookcase gives you a place to arrange stories and favourite objects, while four drawers provide separate spaces for folded clothing. Consider this layout if you were already planning to buy both a wardrobe and a small bookcase; combining them may make the room easier to arrange.

More storage above, without a wider footprint

Where wall width is limited but ceiling height allows, the Kiddies Ivory Three-Drawer Shelved Wardrobe with Top Box offers a different approach. It is approximately 226 cm high, with an 80 cm width and 52 cm depth.

The shelves, drawers and top box provide several places to organise belongings. Reserve the highest compartment for items an adult retrieves occasionally, such as seasonal clothing. Check ceiling clearance carefully before choosing this taller design.

Eight drawers for a fuller clothing collection

If folded clothes take up most of your storage, look at the Kiddies Eight-Drawer Wardrobe in Sky Blue. At approximately 200 cm high, 120 cm wide and 52 cm deep, it offers a larger layout with eight drawers.

You could assign separate drawers to schoolwear, weekend clothes, nightwear and accessories. This approach makes it easier to see what belongs where, especially when several types of clothing would otherwise end up in one deep pile.

Give the Wardrobe Its Own Character

Furniture colour can do much of the decorating work in a child’s room. The Kiddies Two-Door, Two-Drawer Wardrobe in Apple Green is one option for introducing colour against simple walls. Its product page also offers alternative finishes, handle choices and drawer-runner options.

Look beyond the main photograph when comparing designs. On the white plain-door model, for example, soft-close hinges and drawer runners are listed as optional upgrades. Choose the details you will appreciate in daily use, and check the price of your selected specification before ordering.

Check How the Wardrobe Will Work in Position

A childrens bedroom wardrobe can fit the available wall and still feel awkward to use. Before settling on a model:

• Mark out its footprint. Use masking tape to see how much floor space the width and depth will occupy.

• Allow space at the front. Doors and drawers need room to open without hitting the bed or another cabinet.

• Check the wall itself. Skirting boards, sockets and radiator positions can affect placement.

• Measure the route upstairs. Include doorways, landings and tight turns, then ask about the size of the delivery sections if access is restricted.

Use the listed dimensions as a starting point. Where the fit is tight, confirm measurements before placing your order.

Plan the Rest of the Room Around What Is Missing

If the wardrobe provides enough hanging space but you still need more folded storage, browse the children’s chest of drawers collection. If you are furnishing an empty room, the children’s bedroom sets offer another starting point for comparing coordinated pieces.

Compare the full arrangement before deciding: a wider wardrobe may remove the need for a separate chest, while a compact design could leave space for a desk. Once you have a shortlist, speak to Woodlands Furniture about the details that matter to your room.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will my wardrobe arrive fully assembled?

Wardrobes arrive part-built in sections, with final assembly required in the room. The number of sections depends on the design. If you would like help with assembly or delivery into the bedroom, confirm the available service for your chosen wardrobe before ordering.

2. Where do you deliver, and how long should I allow?

Delivery is available to mainland UK addresses. The published standard timescale is approximately 6–12 weeks because furniture is handmade to order, although dates remain estimates. Check the delivery information and confirm the charge for your postcode, particularly if you require an additional delivery service.

3. Can I request different dimensions?

Made-to-measure enquiries are available for factory-manufactured products. Contact the team with your required width, height and depth, together with the model you prefer. Ask them to confirm the proposed specification and price before ordering, rather than assuming a size change is included in the standard options.

4. Can I see the finish before choosing?

Yes. You can order colour and wood finish samples to compare at home. Place them beside the flooring, curtains and existing furniture, then look again under evening lighting. This gives you a more useful basis for choosing than a screen image alone.

5. How should I clean the wardrobe?

Before putting clothes away, wipe the interior to remove any dust left from manufacture and handling. For routine care, dust with a soft, dry cloth, deal with spills promptly and avoid abrasive cleaners or direct heat. Follow the care instructions supplied for your chosen finish.
