2 door wardrobes

Five 2 door wardrobe designs here and honestly, they don't have much in common beyond the door count. The Flutrina is the standout looker. Painted finish, fluted grooves down both doors, metal legs, comes in white, black, sage green and taupe. The High Gloss double wardrobe with drawers couldn't be more different. Handleless. You push the door and it pops open on its own. Soft-close hinges, shiny melamine UV surface, white or grey or black. Then you've got the Shaker double wardrobe doing its thing quietly in the corner. Matte body, oak-effect top, cup handles. It's the one your nan would approve of. The Skova leans Scandinavian with soft-closing internal drawers. And the Blythe is the big lad of the group at 109 cm wide, but it ditches drawers for shelves and a hanging rail instead (six finishes, including ash grey). Across the lot, widths run 79 cm to 109 cm, depths 40 cm to 55 cm. Every wardrobes with drawers ships free to UK mainland and most land within a couple of working days.

Your Questions About 2 Door Wardrobes, Answered

What's the difference between the high gloss and painted finishes on your 2 door wardrobes?

Chalk and cheese. The High Gloss 2 door wardrobe with drawers is all surface. Melamine UV coating, reflective, almost mirror-like when the light catches it. No handles anywhere, just push-to-open doors. It's very "less is more." The Flutrina painted double wardrobe with drawers goes the other way entirely. There's a matt-to-satin painted body, those fluted vertical lines carved into the doors give it real texture, and you've got proper metallic handles with metal legs to match. Both scratch-resistant, both wipe down in seconds. Comes down to taste, doesn't it? If you're leaning Flutrina, the Flutrina furniture range does matching chests of drawers and bedside tables in every colour. Means you can pull the whole room together without hunting for things that "almost match."

Which double wardrobe fits best in a small bedroom with limited floor space?

Shaker, hands down. 79 cm wide, 40 cm deep. That 40 cm depth is the magic number. Most double wardrobes with drawers in this category sit at 50 or 55 cm deep, so you're clawing back a good 10-15 cm of floor space. Doesn't sound dramatic until you're in a box room trying to walk between the wardrobe and the bed. Still comes with a full-width hanging rail and two bottom drawers though, so you're not giving anything up. The High Gloss is close at 80 cm wide but pushes out to 50 cm deep. Got a longer wall? The Blythe double wardrobe at 109 cm wide is the roomiest by miles. One thing worth flagging: every model uses hinged doors. So whatever you pick, leave room in front for the swing.

How many drawers come with each 2 door wardrobe, and what can they hold?

Here's the quick rundown. High Gloss: two full-width drawers at the bottom. Shaker wardrobes : same deal, two drawers. Skova: two soft-closing ones tucked inside beneath the rail. Flutrina: one wider drawer at the base. Blythe: none. Shelves instead. Those drawers across the four models hold folded knitwear, underwear, accessories, the bits and bobs you don't hang up. They're not huge, but they do the job. If you're the sort of person whose folded pile outgrows the drawer space pretty quickly, sticking a coordinating chest of drawers next to it sorts that right out.

Can I get matching bedroom furniture in the same finish as my double wardrobe?

For three of the five, yes. High Gloss matches up with chests of drawers and bedside tables in white, grey and black. Shaker does white or grey with the oak-effect top running through every piece. And the Flutrina goes furthest. Matching chest, matching bedside, all four colours. So sage green or taupe bedroom furniture sets are actually a thing, not just a nice idea. Two-piece, three-piece or four-piece combos. Handles, finishes, proportions all line up out of the box.

Do your 2 door wardrobes arrive ready to use, or do they need building?

Building required. They all come flat-packed with instructions and fixings in the box. Grab someone to help, because the side panels are tall and trying to hold them solo while lining up screws is not a fun time. The High Gloss numbers every part and chucks in a screwdriver, which is appreciated. Assembly time? Depends who's doing it. Reviews range from about an hour to closer to three. The Flutrina has anti-tip brackets and metal feet that go on at the end. Free delivery across UK mainland, 1-2 working days for most orders. If a part's missing or damaged, the DHS team gets on it quickly.

What colours are available across the double wardrobe collection?

White's in every range. Can't go wrong with it. Grey crops up in four of the five: High Gloss, Shaker, Blythe and Skova. Black's in the High Gloss and Flutrina. After that it gets more fun. Sage green and taupe from the Flutrina. Ash grey in the Blythe. Oak-and-cashmere, oak-and-grey, oak-and-white, dark bronx and walnut scattered across other variants. Both the Blythe and Shaker have oak-effect tops that warm the whole wardrobe up if you like a bit of wood tone. The Flutrina furniture in sage green gets a lot of attention. Taupe too. Neither clashes with neutral walls the way you'd think a coloured wardrobe might.

Is 80 cm wide enough for a double wardrobe, or should I choose a wider model?

For one person, absolutely. Fifteen to twenty hangers fit on the rail, drawers underneath take the folded stuff. Plenty for a daily rotation or a guest room. It's couples who tend to struggle at 80 cm. Two people's clothes on one rail gets tight, and once winter coats muscle their way in, you're fighting for space. The Blythe at 109 cm wide sorts that. Depth matters too, and people forget this. Shaker's only 40 cm deep so stick to thinner hangers. The Flutrina at 55 cm deep takes padded hangers and heavier jackets, no bother.

What materials are your 2 door wardrobes made from, and how durable are they?

Engineered wood, every one of them. Better than solid timber in a UK home with the heating on half the year, because it won't warp or crack when the temperature shifts. The glossy finish on the High Gloss is a melamine UV coat. Scratch-resistant, wipes clean. Shaker and Blythe have matte melamine over particle board. Flutrina's painted and lacquer-sealed. On the hardware side, the High Gloss doors are soft-close with push-to-open. Flutrina's metal handles and legs feel weighty in the hand. Skova's drawers run on soft-closing runners. It's bedroom furniture built knowing it'll get opened and shut every day of the week.

Do I still need a chest of drawers if my double wardrobe has built-in drawers?

If you're fairly minimal, probably not. The wardrobe drawers handle underwear, socks, a few folded tops. Done. Most people aren't that minimal though. Knitwear fills a drawer on its own. Gym kit, pyjamas, seasonal stuff on top of that and suddenly you're cramming things in sideways. A chest of drawers alongside gives you four to eight more drawers for purely folded items. In a compact room, a 2 door wardrobe with drawers can cover it if you box up off-season clothes. Family bedroom? Get both. You'll use every bit of space.

How do your double wardrobes compare in terms of hanging rail height and usable space?

Shirts, dresses, blazers, mid-length coats: all fine in every model. The rail sits about 140-150 cm up inside, which is plenty for anything knee-length or shorter. Floor-length is where it gets interesting. On the wardrobes with drawers underneath, a long evening gown or full-length overcoat might brush the base. Not ideal. The Blythe fixes this because it's got shelves rather than drawers, so the rail hangs higher and you get a longer drop. If you own floor-length pieces and want them hanging properly, the Blythe 2 door wardrobe with shelves is the one. Everyone else, pick on looks.
