Five of the most popular wardrobe trends in 2024

Top trending bedroom wardrobes from DIY Homefit

If you are planning a bedroom update in 2024, one of the first decisions you will need to make is the type of bedroom wardrobes that you want. For example, do you want them to be built-in or freestanding? And what sort of storage are you looking for : hanging space, shelves, drawers – or a combination of all of those?

There are so many options to choose from that it can be difficult to know where to start. So in this article we take a look at five of the most popular trends in 2024 for bedroom wardrobes, and some of the advantages that each one would bring to your bedroom.

Flexible storage options

One of the most important features of bedroom wardrobes in 2024 is their flexibility. Many people use wardrobes to store not only clothes, shoes and accessories but other essential bits and pieces too, such as bedding, electrical grooming items, photographs, books and trinkets. As a result, they are likely to want wardrobes with drawers and hidden and open shelves, as well as different-sized hanging spaces.

At DIY Homefit we supply a range of bedroom wardrobe storage configurations including different-sized hanging spaces, corner units, linen presses, shelving units, pull out shoe shelves, and drawers. You can see our full range on our Bedroom Wardrobes, Cupboards and Drawers page here.

The configuration pictured below features our Acrylic Ultragloss Copperleaf bedroom wardrobe doors in Copperleaf.

Open plan design

Another very popular trend in bedroom wardrobes at the moment is open plan storage. The wardrobes pictured above and below both feature elements of open plan storage. When you buy wardrobes from DIY Homefit, you can choose the exact design that works for you, whether that is completely enclosed, completely open plan, or somewhere part way in between.

Open plan storage can be ideal for those difficult to store items that need an odd-shaped space. Instead of cramming them behind closed wardrobe doors, why not make a feature of them instead? As well as solving your storage issues, this can also be an opportunity to add a bit of personality to your bedroom.

The wardrobe pictured below is fronted by our Venice Urban Oak doors in Blush Pink. The pale colour enables the openly stored items to stand out and become the focal point of the bedroom.

Full floor to ceiling height

A brilliant way to maximise your wardrobe space is to install full floor to ceiling height wardrobes. After all, why have wasted space on top of your wardrobes if it could provide additional enclosed storage space? 

And as well as giving you more storage space, full height bedroom wardrobes also bring a streamlined look to your bedroom, ensuring that everything is tucked neatly away, and the wardrobe dominates the room. You can configure the inside of the wardrobe however you want, but the external appearance will be clean and minimalist.

Coloured sliding doors

Sliding wardrobe doors are an excellent choice for any bedroom, but can be particularly helpful in a small or narrow room. This is because they don’t need a particular amount of floor space in front of them for the doors to open outwards, so they are very economical on space overall.

Another great advantage of sliding wardrobe doors is that they can be designed to blend perfectly into your bedroom. Coloured glass sliding doors and mirrored sliding doors are particularly popular at the moment. Coloured glass doors can create the perfect finishing touch to your bedroom, such as the example shown below which features a combination of aubergine and fuschia glass.

Mirrored doors are a very practical option, and can also help to make a small or narrow bedroom look bigger by reflecting light around the room.

The good news is that the choice is yours : with DIY Homefit’s sliding wardrobe door designer, you can create the exact sliding door design for your new bedroom wardrobes.

Custom built to fit your bedroom

The final trend that we want to mention is the beauty of custom-built wardrobes. This is particularly useful if you have an odd-shaped bedroom, such as a loft conversion with sloping walls perhaps.

DIY Homefit can supply bedroom wardrobes that are made to your exact specification. This means that not an inch of room space is wasted. So rather than be left with narrow gaps down the outsides of rectangular wardrobes, why not have custom-fitted wardrobes instead?

The example pictured below shows a wardrobe with our Rowen Supermatt Taupe Grey wardrobe doors. But the options are endless. For example, you could also consider fitting smaller cupboards, drawers or shelves into other difficult to use areas, and maximise your bedroom storage space to the full.
