Children's wardrobe

The choice of wardrobe for your child's bedroom will play an important role in the decoration and overall atmosphere of the room. This storage furniture will offer you numerous storage spaces in different formats: hanging space, shelves, drawers... to neatly store all your child's clothes. Discover our advice for choosing the most appropriate children's wardrobe model for your needs and those of your little ones.

How to choose a wardrobe for a child's bedroom?

The children's wardrobe is a piece of furniture that aims to be both sizeable enough to store a maximum amount of clothes and bed linen, but also practical and accessible for your child. Let's explore the types of wardrobes you can choose for your child's bedroom: hanging space, shelves, drawers, hinged doors, sliding doors...

The children's hanging wardrobe

Clothes on hangers are certainly the easiest option for your child. For example, you can hang most of their t-shirts, jumpers and cardigans on a hanging rail adapted to their height and give them access to the clothes they'll wear most often. This storage system is also ideal as it doesn't wrinkle clothes and will keep your little one's wardrobe well organised.

The children's closet

A wardrobe with shelves can also be a wise choice. Beyond offering beautiful storage spaces, the wardrobe with shelves allows you to prepare your child's outfits in advance and leave them on a low shelf so they only need to choose their favourite one for school. They will be proud to be able to choose their outfit and dress themselves without an adult's help.

The children's dressing room

The dressing room is also an option for a child's bedroom. This two-in-one piece of furniture will offer shelves and hanging space to store all your little one's clothes and bed linen without having to make compromises.

The baby wardrobe

For the youngest, a baby wardrobe will be suitable. It will offer small shelves or small hanging rails adapted to the size of your infant's clothes.

What colour for a children's wardrobe?

• A natural wood wardrobe

Wood offers many style possibilities for a wardrobe in a child's bedroom. Indeed, depending on the shade you choose, you can easily recreate a Scandinavian, minimalist and timeless style, but also a more classic or completely vintage style.

• A white children's wardrobe

The white wardrobe is a safe choice in your child's bedroom. White indeed brings a lot of brightness and gives a clean look to the room. You can easily integrate it into any style of decoration. Finally, white will give you more freedom in choosing your child's bed linen, carpet, or bedside table.

• A colourful children's wardrobe

As a strong piece in the room, you can also rely on the wardrobe to assert the style of a child's bedroom and bring energy to the room. You can match its colour to the children's bed that you have chosen to create a real universe. Whether you choose bright or pastel tones, colour will bring vitality to your child's room.

What size to choose for a child's wardrobe?

To offer maximum autonomy to your child, it is recommended to choose a low wardrobe. Indeed, this will allow them to access their clothes easily without constantly asking for your help. If you opt for a wardrobe with hanging space, a height of 130 to 150 cm maximum is recommended for children.

While tall wardrobe models are obviously tempting to store as many items as possible, make sure it has different storage levels: low shelves or sliding drawers accessible at any age to give your child more autonomy.

How to organise a children's wardrobe?

For maximum clarity in your child's wardrobe, we advise you to organise your little one's clothes and accessories by categories: dedicate one shelf to their trousers, another to their shorts, hang dresses, cardigans and t-shirts on hangers...

To create a functional and playful storage space, why not print labels and set up a colour system to allow your child to easily find any type of clothing and put together an outfit themselves?

Regarding underwear, the most practical option will be to choose a children's chest of drawers, which will offer several small storage compartments and organise small linen optimally.
