Ikea Malm bed color: black-brown - which wardrobe matches it?

Good day,

so now I am starting my first topic:
as you can already read above, it's about a suitable wardrobe. Since I/we have decided on the Malm bed frame in the color black-brown, we are now looking for a matching bed.

Of course, I find the Pax wardrobes very tempting, but if I arrange them as I like it, it gets quite expensive, especially if doors are added.

Therefore, I wanted to ask you what ideas you have?!

As for the room, it can maybe be said that our bedroom is not very large. A big wardrobe does fit in and a medium-sized dresser as well, but I am not so sure if we choose a large wardrobe also in this dark color tone, whether the room might then appear very oppressive.

Therefore, the question arises which color the wardrobe should have so that it matches the bed but still does not make the room look smaller.

Thanks already for your answers

Many kind regards

So the price is always a matter of definition... :D

We paid about 700€ for our plywood with Lyngdal sliding doors and custom equipment (2.50x2.36m) and I thought the price was really okay. Actually, it’s unbeatable cheap in comparison. Ikea also offers a 10-year warranty for free.

So as a tip, if a dark wardrobe would feel too oppressive – the glass/aluminum sliding doors would surely fit universally with any other color – if you like them.

700 euros is really an unbeatable price for such a large wardrobe. You really won't find it cheaper in that size. I mean, it should also last a bit.

Hello
we just managed to put together our bedroom in medium brown (Hopen/Malm). Because at that time the medium brown color was discontinued.
The Hopen wardrobes have frosted glass doors so they don’t feel too heavy. A light wall color is also an advantage (we have a yellow wall with a sponge effect) and a yellow carpet (never again a light carpet) :rolleyes: that was a mistake back then. Since our current bedroom was first a study/guest room, then a children’s room for a short time, and then we took it as a bedroom because our little one has enough space there.

Maybe add a white wardrobe with a dark carcass. That should be possible, I think.
Our corner wardrobe from Hopen should have cost over €300 new and what was it for €50 used from the newspaper back then. I don’t want to miss the storage space of the 3 wardrobes: 2 normal ones (1x single door & 1x double door) and the corner wardrobe. Plus 2 dressers from Malm and the storage for laundry/clothes was done.
The bed is from Malm & the nightstands too.

So have fun choosing the wardrobe then.

A friend of ours replaced the doors, which are very expensive compared to the actual cabinet or corpus, with a curtain rod and colorful curtains. If you design the curtains in contrasting colors, the black is no longer so oppressive and you quickly save a few hundred euros. Besides, her cabinet looks quite stylish that way.

Have the same bed and also a white wardrobe. In my opinion, you can combine almost anything.. It also depends a bit on your wall color..
