Adding storage space to the home is not a particularly difficult thing to achieve
. What is tough is trying to decide exactly what type of wardrobe storage you will use. Not only do you have the choice of whether to use stand alone wardrobes or to go for the more permanent solution of fitted wardrobes but you also have to choose exactly what materials your wardrobe will be made of.
The most popular type of wardrobe is the stand-alone wardrobe. As the name suggests this type of wardrobe is not affixed to any wall and can stand solidly on its own. They come in a wide range of sizes and material types ensuring that no matter what your individual needs might be there should be a wardrobe that will suit you.
Hardwood is a common material to use for the construction of a stand-alone wardrobe. The timber is strong enough to create a sturdy piece of furniture that will stand up to the rigors of daily use without falling apart. Those piece that were made with hardwood, examples such as oak and cherry wardrobes come readily to mind, not only look like attractive pieces but they are going to last for many years.
The most common types of antique wardrobes are those that have been made using a hardwood such as oak. This doesn"t mean that pine wardrobes won"t last for a long time, they will, it"s just that a hardwood wardrobe is more likely to maintain its look without requiring too much of a refurbishment to get it back to looking as you would hope it to if it were going to impress visitors.
