Kids Wardrobes

About Kids Wardrobes 

Childrens wardrobes are a piece of bedroom furniture designed to keep the space neat and orderly. It's a storage solution customized to match the child's needs and personality. Choosing the right one involves considering style, type, material, color, among other important features.

Advantages of Kids Wardrobes 

The most obvious advantage of a kid's wardrobe organiser is keeping clothes neat. Some wardrobes will come with built-in shelves and drawers, allowing easy storage. Customizable wardrobes can even be designed to grow with the child. This means parents will spend less money while giving the child a wardrobe that grows along with them.

Types 

Usually, kids' wardrobes are just one piece of kid's furniture & bedding. So, it can be part of a set to match kid's beds and other furniture in the room. Kid's wardrobe ideas are as limitless as a child's imagination. From a princess-style girl's wardrobe to a sailor-themed boy's wardrobe, this can be a fun decision to make. 

Some popular types of themes for kids wardrobes include: 

• Castle (Think Disney's Brave/Frozen)

• Sailor (With a Navy Blue, White, and Red Theme

• Popular TV Shows (Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam, Spider-Man)

• Animals (Owl, Rabbit, Dogs)

• Magical (Think Fairies, Princesses, Mermaids Sparkles)

• Fireman

• Wild West

Another type to consider is a timeless option, which focuses on colors or shapes. This style is easier to ‘grow up’ with as the child ages and interest changes. For continuity, try to match this piece with kid's drawers or even the kid's bookcases & bookshelves. 

Material

A children's wardrobe can be found in the following material options: 

• Metal. Solid and looks like an American high school locker and is typically the choice of pre-teens.

• Plastic. It's an affordable option that's easy to clean, although it's not very durable.

• Wood. The most popular option. It's solid, durable, and easy to fix and refurbish (even if the child decides it's a blank canvas for their artistic side).

• Composite wood. Also called melamine or MDF, this type of material is both cheap and washable.

Generally speaking, wood is the top option for children's wardrobe furniture. It lasts the longest, especially when it is made from high-quality materials. Plastic wardrobes are not built to last and are suited for occasional use rather than a long-term or everyday option. 

Features 

A single wardrobe can be customized through style, color, shape, and decorations. The features can also include built-in shelves, drawers, rods to hang clothes, shoe storage, and more. 

Color 

Unfinished wood is a timeless choice, especially if it is in the Scandinavian style. However, wood is an easy-to-paint material and can be adapted. Grey or white furniture is a safe option, especially to ensure a wardrobe adapts with the child's style. Other furniture choices, like the kid's tables and chairs, are not limited like this, considering they are meant to be outgrown. 

To avoid serious clashing and an overwhelming space:

1. Limit colorful kid's furniture and bedding to just one or two pieces.

2. If the wardrobe is colorful or has a unique design, opt for solid-colored walls.

3. If the walls have a fun wallpaper print, opt for a solid wardrobe color. 

To personalize the wardrobe, try adding fun stickers or changing the handles to match a color or theme. Using a specific theme based on age makes it easy to update as the child loses interest. 

Size

The size of the wardrobe is another important decision to make. Generally, the size options are low, tall, double, or triple-sized wardrobes. 

Low Wardrobe 

This size is great for younger children in need of a sense of independence. It is built for tiny humans to ensure easy access to clothes. Some can even be designed to fit under a sleeper bed frame to save on space. 

Tall Wardrobe 

This is the traditional, standard design that has a full hanging space. It can also include integrated drawers or shelving. It is often referred to as the Scandinavian design, and its height makes it an option that can grow with the child. 

Double & Triple Wardrobe 

These two combine elements of popular European designs that focus on shelving. It is good for teens and storing folded clothes, like jumpers, jeans, and shoes. 

These larger wardrobes often combine both hanging and shelving storage. It gives the best of both worlds. If the design has drawers at the base, it allows the child access without sacrificing the height's storage space. 

Things to Consider

The biggest factor to consider with children's wardrobes is the safety elements. A tall wardrobe is a tip-over risk and could crush a child. So, these are safety issues to consider:

• Secure the wardrobe to the wall to prevent it from tipping forward. Talk to an expert to ensure proper attachments are used and it's installed correctly.

• Little fingers can easily get caught in doors or drawers. Take the time to teach a child how to safely open and close a kid's cupboard and drawers.

• Regularly inspect that the wardrobe is fully functional and secure, especially if there is a hanging rail.

• Only use parts designed for the specific wardrobe and contact a supplier to purchase replacement parts.
