A great combination of the chest of drawers and the wardrobe is the combi wardrobe that has a small wardrobe on top of two drawers. This is good for small rooms like in bed sits.

There are also a number of other items which are available with this range. Firstly the ottoman which is great for putting at the end of the bed for towels or spare blankets if you need that little extra space. There are the single sided and double sided dressing tables. The single sided one is better for smaller rooms while the double is for those will much more space. Finally there is a number of different size bookcases for storing anything from books to videos and dvd’s.
