When it comes to creating a calm, organised home, the right storage makes all the difference. When you’re updating your bedroom, refreshing the guest room, or finally tackling that random ‘deal with it later’ clutter, choosing the right storage furniture can completely transform your space.
At La Joie Living, we know that storage isn’t just for practicality, it’s part of your home’s style story. So if you’ve been wondering how to choose a wardrobe, whether you need tallboy drawers, or if a storage cabinet for home organisation is the better option, this guide will walk you through it.
Choosing the Right Wardrobe for Your Bedroom
A wardrobe for bedroom use is often the anchor of the space. It's one of the most prominent features of the bedroom, both visually and for practicality. That's why it's important to note:
-
Do you need hanging space, drawers, or both?
-
Is the wardrobe for everyday clothing, occasional wear, or guest storage?
-
Do you have built-ins, or do you need a freestanding wardrobe?
-
How much floor space can you realistically dedicate?
If you’re short on built-in storage, a freestanding wardrobe is a beautiful and practical solution. It gives you flexibility, adds character, and can move with you if you relocate.

Prefer something softer and more romantic? The French Provincial Provence One Drawer Wardrobe offers refined detailing and timeless beauty with its rustic charm. Included is a hanging space and a practical lower drawer which is perfect for guest rooms, smaller bedrooms, or as a statement piece in a master suite.
When considering how to choose a wardrobe, remember: it’s not just about capacity. Think about how it complements your bed, bedside tables, and overall aesthetic. Your wardrobe should feel intentional, so that you can get the best out of it and avoid issues like getting the wrong sizing, type or something that is visually jarring. After all, you probably want to feel as safe and comfortable as possible in your bedroom.
When Tallboy Drawers Are the Better Choice
Sometimes, a full wardrobe isn’t what you need. For instance, If you already have hanging space but lack drawer storage, tallboy drawers may be the answer you're looking for. They are ideal for:
-
Folded clothing (tees, knits, activewear).
-
Kids’ bedrooms.
-
Smaller spaces where vertical storage makes sense.
-
Layered bedroom storage ideas alongside built-ins.
Since tallboys are tall and narrow, they maximise vertical space without dominating the room.

When choosing tallboy drawers, check:

Drawer depth (for bulkier items).
-
Quality of material.
-
Height in proportion to your ceiling.
-
Whether the style balances the rest of the room.
Tallboys are also excellent companions to a freestanding wardrobe, creating a cohesive and complete storage setup.
Cabinets: The Bedroom and Beyond
Not all storage needs are about clothing. A storage cabinet for home use can solve everything from linen overflow to display storage in living and dining areas.
Cabinets are incredibly versatile as they can be used to:
-
Fill in as a linen cabinet in the hallway.
-
Store tableware and glassware in the dining room.

Organise books, décor, and keepsakes in the living area.

Create extra closed storage in open-plan homes.

Helpful Tips: Matching Storage to Your Space
Before purchasing, measure your space carefully and consider: ceiling height, door swing clearance, skirting board depth and access for delivery.
Also, think about how your storage will evolve over time. A wardrobe for bedroom use may serve you now, but could later become guest room storage. A tallboy might start in the nursery and transition into a teen’s room. Quality storage furniture is about durability and flexibility.
Most importantly, choose pieces that reflect your personal style. Your storage should feel cohesive with the rest of your home, based on your personal taste and preferences.
