Some general stylistic and design features

To start things off, here is a broad overview of some of the most basic forms and features that you're likely to see in Laura Ashley wardrobes:

• Size: Laura Ashley wardrobes are usually quite large, with heights that can range anywhere from about 140 centimetres to about 220 centimetres. Widths can range from about 50 to more than 100 centimetres. See the manufacturer site for details.
• Style:Laura Ashley wardrobes come fall into two style categories: retro and contemporary. Retro wardrobes tend to have arched roofs with designs carved into them. They also have ornate doors or drawer handles and complex and curved patterns carved into their doors. Contemporary wardrobes, by contrast, are more rectilinear. If their doors have any kind of patterns on them, they are basic rectangle shapes.
• Colour: Most of the Laura Ashley wardrobes that you're likely to find populating the eBay listings are either white or grey, but you may find other colours for sale if you search for them.
• Drawers: Some Laura Ashley wardrobes don't have any drawers at all. Those that do usually have either one large drawer, two smaller ones, or five smaller ones.

Single and double wardrobes

Another very important division is between single and double wardrobes. Single wardrobes have only one large door, and are usually narrow, while double wardrobes have two doors, making them wider. Single wardrobes sometimes don't come with any drawers at all. However, you can find a few wardrobes that have drawers. Ones that have drawers tend to be grouped onto one side of the wardrobe, with the door covering the other. Doubles tend to have much wider drawers, usually located at the bottom below the doors. Laura Ashley makes both of these types.

Does Laura Ashley make wardrobes with mirrors?

Yes. You can get a Laura Ashley wardrobe with or without mirrors. Typically, single wardrobes come without a mirror. You can also get double wardrobes with or without mirrors. Those that have mirrors usually will cover most of the doors on both sides of the wardrobe.
