Creating a Dream Wardrobe in a Compact Space: Tips For Designing a Walk-In Wardrobe

Designing a bespoke walk-in wardrobe is a terrific solution if you have limited space or want to optimise your wardrobe. However, making the most out of a limited area is challenging. For this reason, we have compiled some valuable tips on designing a walk-in wardrobe to create a dream storage solution in a compact space.

We will provide clever storage solutions and design ideas as our blog will guide you through creating a functional and beautiful wardrobe that suits your needs and style.

Designing for Functionality

The most common reason walk-in wardrobes are popular is that they help you make the most of your space. A walk-in wardrobe is a terrific way to maximise your available space.

When designing walk-in wardrobes, you want to focus on convenience and ease of use. To do this, ensure your wardrobe doors are simple to open and close. Although many of our clients prefer sliding doors, bi-folding doors are also an appealing alternative if you have the space.

Consider the layout of your walk-in wardrobe and how you want to arrange your clothes and accessories. Think about the placement of shelves, drawers and hanging rods, and plan the layout accordingly. Make sure you leave enough space for walking and accessing your items.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

Choosing the Right Colours and Materials

When it comes to designing your walk-in wardrobe, choosing the right colours and materials is essential to create a space that is not only functional but also visually appealing. Here are some tips to help you choose the right colours and materials for your walk-in wardrobe:

Consider the overall style of your home

When choosing colours and materials for your walk-in wardrobe, it is necessary to consider the overall style of your home. You want to create a cohesive look throughout your home, so choose materials and colours that complement the other furnishings in your house.

Use neutral colours as a base

Using neutral colours as a base for your walk-in wardrobe is a good idea. They are timeless and provide a backdrop for other colours and textures. Take a look at the Atlante Walk-In Wardrobe by Emmebi. The light beige shade is easy on the eyes and provides a nice contrast if you put vibrant furniture pieces.

Incorporate natural materials

Natural substances like metal, stone, and wood, add warmth and texture to your walk-in wardrobe. They also add a touch of luxury and sophistication. The Project Walk-In Wardrobe by Dall'Agnese is available in various natural materials such as wood and metal. You can also customise the finish if you want something even more unique.

Unique Ways to Maximise Your Space

Walk-in wardrobes are an excellent way to provide storage for your belongings. Here are some tips to get the most out of every square inch of your walk-in wardrobe:

• Use the top of the closet: You can store bulky sweaters or winter boots up high. You can also use this area for sports equipment or extra bedding for guests.
• Utilise coat hangers: Use coat hangers with clips on them to keep belts and scarves hanging up in place over time.
• Use colour coding: Colour coding your clothing items makes it easier to search for things. Organise your clothing items by colour to create a visually appealing and organised wardrobe.

Designing Your Dream Wardrobe

Designing your dream wardrobe requires planning. Think about your style, daily needs, and available space. Here are some steps you can follow to create your dream wardrobe:

• Assess your needs: Before designing your walk-in wardrobe, you need to assess your needs. Consider how much storage space you need, what clothes and accessories you have, and how you want to organise everything.
• Measure the space: Measure the space where you plan to install your walk-in wardrobe. It will help you determine how much space you have to work with and what type of furniture and storage options will fit.
• Choose your storage options: Once you have assessed your needs and measured the space, it's time to choose your storage option. Consider the types of storage you need, such as hanging space, shelving, drawers, and shoe racks. You can also consider custom storage options, such as built-in jewellery drawers, pull-out tie and belt racks and more.

We offer a wide range of customisable storage solutions to help you create a stylish closet. You can choose from adjustable shelving and hanging rods to built-in drawers and cubbies. We also offer a variety of finishes in natural materials like wood, metal and glass.
