The Bestselling and Highest-Rated IKEA Wardrobes for Small Bedrooms
The Swedish company IKEA offers hundreds of options in models and variations. We’re sharing with you the three wardrobes that are all the rage in their stores: they might surprise you, and you might consider adding one to your bedroom.
The arrival of winter or summer often signals the time to switch our wardrobes, which is also when we might think about adding an additional wardrobe.
Choosing a new wardrobe isn’t easy, whether it’s going to be the main one in the bedroom or an additional one for your home. We usually visit various stores and sometimes end up not finding anything. To help you, we’ve decided to review IKEA’s wardrobe catalog and see which ones are the most popular: the best-selling, the highest-rated, and the cheapest. Here are some options.
The best-selling wardrobe: Brimnes Not only is it the best-selling wardrobe, but as they say in the store, it’s a classic. The reason is simple: it’s an incredible storage solution even for small rooms. With dimensions of 117 x 50 x 190 cm (width x depth x height), it offers different spaces for dresses and shirts, shelves for your folded clothes, shoes, and even a mirror on the door to make use of every available inch.
Another advantage is that the interior adapts to your needs: the shelves are adjustable and can be placed as you like. With other IKEA accessories, such as fabric drawers, you can organize all your garments, footwear, and accessories even better. The mirror can also be placed on the door of your choice.
Brimnes is made from particleboard and its white finish is very bright, so it won’t create a feeling of claustrophobia in the room. All this comes at a very reasonable price of under 180 euros.
The most highly-rated wardrobe: Visthus Visthus has a 4.8 / 5 rating with dozens of reviews. Among the most highlighted qualities is one of the most important: it can hold a large number of garments and objects since it hides many compartments. It is also described as practical, functional, space-saving, and very durable.
With a minimalist, Nordic design, but with a fun touch, it combines the gray color of the structure with the white of the doors and drawers. There are nine elements in total, although once opened there are even more shelves, so you can store all your clothes, accessories, and more.
One of the keys to this model is that it maximizes height (256 cm), making it ideal for bedrooms where height is not a limit but the rest of the dimensions are. It has a depth of 59 cm and a width of 122 cm. Its use is comfortable, with wheels on the lower drawers and adjustable legs to overcome possible unevenness in the floor. Its price is just over 300 euros, and you’ll have a wardrobe for many years.
The cheapest wardrobe: Gursken Gursken has the most affordable price at IKEA, but also boasts a high rating close to the maximum score. This is because it is a very simple and functional option, both for small bedrooms and for getting an additional wardrobe where you can store shirts, dresses, or pants out of season.
This wardrobe has clean lines and measures 49 x 55 x 186 cm (width x depth x height). Behind its door, which opens with a simple black knob, there is a bar for hanging garments and an upper shelf.
Gursken has a characteristic beige color of the same-name series, which includes a bed, chest of drawers, and bedside table. For a small bedroom, it’s a good idea to acquire these pieces of furniture for overall harmony. All of them are very reasonably priced, and the wardrobe itself costs just about 70 euros.
What to Consider When Choosing Your New Wardrobe Choosing a new wardrobe might seem simple but there are several factors you should consider to ensure you’re making the best choice for your space and needs. Here are the most important aspects to keep in mind when selecting your next wardrobe.
Dimensions and Available Space One of the first things to consider is the space available in your bedroom. Measure the area where you plan to place the wardrobe accurately, making sure to consider height, width, and depth. Remember to leave enough room to open doors and drawers without obstruction. If you have a small bedroom, opt for narrower but taller wardrobes to maximize vertical storage without taking up too much floor space.
Internal Layout and Compartments The functionality of the wardrobe largely depends on its internal layout. Think about the type of clothing and objects you plan to store. Do you need more space for hanging dresses and shirts? Or do you prefer more shelves and drawers for folded clothes and accessories? Some wardrobes come with adjustable compartments, which can be an advantage if your storage needs change over time.
Style and Aesthetics The design of the wardrobe should complement your bedroom’s decor. Wardrobes in light tones, like white or beige, can make a small room seem larger and brighter. If your bedroom has a more traditional style, you might prefer a wardrobe with wooden details. On the other hand, minimalist and modern designs are often excellent choices for contemporary spaces.
Material and Quality The durability of the wardrobe is crucial, so pay attention to the construction materials. Solid wood wardrobes are sturdy and have a long lifespan, but they can also be more expensive. MDF or particleboard options are more affordable and, if well-made, can also be durable. Ensure that hinges, rails, and other components are of good quality to avoid issues with daily use.
Ease of Assembly Some wardrobes come pre-assembled, while others require assembly. If you choose a wardrobe that needs to be assembled, check that the instructions are clear and that the parts are well labeled. In some cases, it might be worthwhile to hire a professional for assembly, especially if the wardrobe is large or complex.
Price and Budget The budget is always a determining factor. High-end wardrobes offer higher quality materials and finishes, but there are also more affordable options that can be perfectly functional and attractive. Consider the price-quality ratio and whether the wardrobe meets your long-term needs. Sometimes, spending a bit more can result in furniture that will last for many years.
Customization Options Some stores offer customization options for wardrobes, allowing you to choose the color, type of doors (sliding or hinged), type of handles, and the internal layout of compartments. This flexibility can be very beneficial for adapting the wardrobe to your specific needs and the style of your room.
Reviews and Ratings Before making a final decision, check reviews and ratings from other buyers. This will give you an idea of the quality of the wardrobe and other users’ experience with the product. Reviews can provide valuable information on aspects you may not have considered.
Choosing the perfect wardrobe for your bedroom requires time and consideration. By taking into account the dimensions, internal layout, style, material, ease of assembly, price, customization options, and reviews from other buyers, you can make an informed decision and find the wardrobe that best suits your needs and tastes.
Now that you know IKEA’s most outstanding options, it’s time to consider which one best fits your needs and give your bedroom a new look with one of these wardrobes. We recommend consulting IKEA’s catalog or website.
