How do I choose the right size wardrobe?

Measure your available floor space and ceiling height carefully before selecting a double or triple wardrobe. Consider internal configurations like hanging rails and fitted drawers to ensure the piece meets your storage needs. Larger triple wardrobes and compactums require substantial wall space and clearance for opening doors. Single tallboys offer a more compact alternative for smaller rooms while retaining period character.

What is the difference between a wardrobe and a compactum?

A standard wardrobe focuses primarily on vertical hanging space behind full-length doors. These pieces suit garments that require long drops. A compactum integrates hanging space with internal drawers, shelves, and specialist compartments within one unit. This hybrid design provides diverse storage options for folded clothing and accessories.

How do I care for walnut veneer surfaces?

Keep walnut veneer wardrobes away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wood from fading and the veneer from drying out. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using silicone sprays or harsh chemical polishes. Occasional application of a traditional beeswax helps nourish the wood and maintain its natural lustre.
