Wardrobe Design Ideas to Make Use of Every Inch

02-Mar-2022

When you love fashion and clothes with a passion, there’s no such thing as a wardrobe that is too large to store your favourite outfits. The wardrobe is a very personal space, and like every personal space, it should be large enough to contain your interests - be it clothes, shoes, hats, scarves, ties, accessories and more.

If you are looking to reinvent your wardrobe - there’s a lot that has happened in the world of furniture that you may have not noticed. Wardrobe spaces have been evolving, and we’re here to tell you all about it.

What you should be prioritising when designing your wardrobe

Let’s go back to the basics of what a wardrobe is. A wardrobe or almirah is a cupboard (usually placed in the bedroom) where people store their clothes and accessories. This is a very loose and fast definition, because wardrobes come in all shapes and sizes.

We all dream of the fabulous wardrobe. One that we’ve seen on tv. Take for example, the walk in wardrobe from the hit show ‘Sex & the City’. It’s a wardrobe that’s a designer space, replete with vanity mirrors, lighting that would put a haute high-street showroom to shame, and yet serves a simple purpose. To act as a place where you can store your clothes, glance through them, and pick an outfit that has been neatly stored away.

Ofcourse, not everyone is as lucky as the characters from the show. We’re not all blessed with cavernous homes that have the space to create the perfect wardrobe.

So, what should you do when you want to redesign our wardrobe? If you want the most space, convenience and usability - you need to improvise.

In this article, we’ll give you some ideas that make use of every spare inch in your home, to design a wardrobe that can rival even the Kadarshians.

Mounted wardrobes that are built into the walls

Making the most use of the room that your wardrobe is in, sometimes requires that you have to think beyond four walls. What we mean is that a wardrobe that is built within the walls of a home with a sliding door offers ample space as well as makes excellent use of your home.

Ofcourse, if your home does not have the facility to allow you to build a wardrobe into the wall, then you can rely on this next wardrobe idea.

A wardrobe that’s built around the bed

For bedrooms in which the bed is the centrepiece, or a mantle of the room, building a wardrobe around the bed lets you maximise on space, while not cluttering the interiors.

The second idea proposed is that you build the wardrobe around the bed. This way you can create a lot of shelf space, not just for your clothes on the inside - but also as a place to store your books and trinkets on the shelves around the outside.

The walk in closet

The walk in closet uses a clever illusion to make the closet feel like a room within a room. It is created by placing a partition in the room, and lighting up the space so that you can quite literally - walk into your closet. Walk in closet work as a changing room as well, and you are equipped with vanity mirrors and lighting.

The under the stairs closet

If you live in a duplex, why should the space under your stairs go to waste? It’s the perfect space to build a closet so that you can maximise on room and not let an inch go to waste.

The corner wardrobe

Let’s face it, the corners of the room can be an awkward space. However, with the right vision, interior decorator or carpenter - you can use this space to fit your wardrobe. The corner of a room is an excellent space to build a wardrobe.

Under the bed wardrobe

The under the bed wardrobe can be a great place to store your shoes,linen or winter wear. The under the bed wardrobe makes room for the leg room under your bed and is a nifty way to put things out of sight and out of mind.

The sliding wall wardrobe

Sometimes you want a room that has a minimal and clean feel to it. In that case you might prefer a wardrobe with a sliding wall.

Sliding wall wardrobe has a sliding door that looks like a wall. But when you want to access your fashion, all you have to do is slide the wall away to reveal your wardrobe.

Wardrobes with mirrors

One of those most amazing aspects of a mirror is that you can use it to make your room look bigger. Large and bold mirrors on your wardrobe doors can lend your bedroom the illusion of being larger than it actually is.
