Designing Your Dream Wardrobe: Strike the Balance Between Style and Functionality

OUR TIPS TO CREATING A FUNCTIONAL WARDROBE

Your wardrobe serves as more than just a storage space for clothing; it's a reflection of your personal style and a sanctuary of self-expression. Rushing through the design process may lead to a wardrobe that falls short of meeting your needs. Let's pause for a moment and ensure every aspect of your wardrobe is meticulously planned.

To embark on this journey of wardrobe design, here are some fundamental questions to ponder:

  • Will your cabinetry boast open shelves or closed doors? It's crucial to ensure adequate depth for door clearance; the ideal cabinetry depth with doors is 650mm.

  • Consider the heights of your drawers and the items they will accommodate.

  • Envisioning an island in your closet? Consider the clearances between cabinetry and the practicality of door and drawer openings. If an island is part of your vision, contemplate its intended use (shoes, drawers, jewellery storage) and the materials to be utilised.

  • Will there be bulkheads above your robes or open space for additional storage? Ensure proper alignment with doors and openings.

  • Do corners factor into your wardrobe layout? Decide between incorporating a void or running a blind corner, selecting the option that best compliments your design.

  • Are you in need of a designated area to showcase your prized possessions, like those iconic Christian Louboutin heels or designer handbags?

  • Determine your preference for double or single hanging space, or perhaps a combination of both. Consider integrating a mix of hanging space, drawers, and shelving for folded items.

  • Do you desire a dresser or space for a mirror? What about specialised features like angled shoe shelving?

  • Is ironing or steaming clothing a necessity in this space?

  • Choose between handles or a handle-less aesthetic, exploring options such as push-to-open mechanisms or various handle styles.

  • Consider the impact of colour on your wardrobe design, and contemplate whether glass doors will be incorporated.

  • Is additional lighting required in your closet?

  • Have you taken into account ample airflow when conceptualising your space?



Some key tips to guide you:

Functionality is Key: Prioritise functionality in your wardrobe design. Think about which items require easy accessibility and tailor your design accordingly. Customise your closet to align with your lifestyle and storage needs. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast in need of ample drawers for your activewear, or a hat collector requiring generous shelving, ensure your closet design caters to your everyday essentials. Incorporate thoughtful drawer inserts and ample electrical outlets for added convenience.

Elevate your wardrobe with a range of accessories tailored to your needs. From pull-out trouser hangers to clothes hampers and specialised storage for belts and ties, explore the options available to craft a space that perfectly suits your style and functionality requirements.

Mindful Measurements: Pay careful attention to standard depths and hanging rail heights. Ensure that your largest items fit comfortably within the space by taking precise measurements.

Material Matters: Select materials that resonate with your personal style and budget. Lighter colours are particularly effective in smaller spaces, while strategic lighting can enhance visibility.

Accessories: There are many great options for accessories to add to wardrobes, pull out trouser hangers, clothes hampers, belt and tie storage, explore the options to create a space that works for you.

Designing your dream wardrobe involves achieving a harmonious balance between style and functionality. Take your time to explore various options, and soon you'll have a closet that not only exudes style but also seamlessly accommodates your needs.
