Top Tips For Exceptional Walk In Wardrobe Design

Posted by Sanju k on December 6th, 2016

When creating a walk in wardrobe design, whether it’s for a house that you hope to build one day in the future or for an extension that you wish to add to your current home, you need to ensure that it will work for you. After all, everyone is different so it makes sense that our needs and wants would also be different. In this article, we have shared our top tips for coming up with an exceptional design that ticks all the boxes and stores your clothes in luxury.

1. Take Complete Measurements
   This is not so much of a problem when building a new home, as you can make the wardrobe as big or small as you want. You should, however, follow other measurements on the plan (such as ceiling height). When renovating an existing home, you will need to ensure that you have carefully measured the space that you wish to use. You will also need to be aware of doors, windows and unmovable other elements.
2. Think About the Look
   The next thing you need to do have is have a good long think about how you want the wardrobe to look. Will it have a lot of shelves and racks or will it just have two doors to separate two compartments? Will it have hooks for robes and bags or will it only have plain shelves? Will it be a combination of two colours or will it all be the same colour? The answers to these questions will give you an idea of what you want.
3. Include High Shelving
   One of the best features that you can add to walk in wardrobes are high shelves, which sit above the full-length hanging rails (generally above head height). These shelves provide invaluable storage for items that you don’t use very often but need to keep for one reason or another. This could include ski gear, maternity clothes (if you’re no longer pregnant but plan to have more kids) and other knickknacks.
4. Professional or DIY Project
   The next thing you need to do is determine whether you will handle the construction yourself or whether you will have a professional handle it for you. Either way, you need to ensure that you’ve allowed enough time for the project to be completed. This is particularly true if you plan on hiring a professional, as they may have other clients booked in who require their attention before you.
5. Benches and Stools
   The great thing about these wardrobes is that they allow you to add luxury features that simply don’t work with built ins. One such example of this is the inclusion of a bench or stool, which you can sit on as you get dressed or even use to layout your outfit. A bench is a great addition, as it enables two people to use it at the same time and it can double as a chest to store spare blankets and other linen in.

If you are in the process of putting together a walk in wardrobe design, we hope that you find our top tips useful. At the end of the day, the best way to ensure the success of your project is to carefully consider what you need and what you want – the ideal combination will be somewhere in the middle. We also recommend taking a look at homes currently for sale in your area – use what you like and dislike about their wardrobes as your inspiration.
