How Big Should a Corner Closet Be?

Many customers who visit our showroom often ask, how big should a corner closet be?

Corner wardrobes usually vary in size depending on the design. The usual dimensions of corner wardrobes are 88 to 105 cm in width and 190 to 210 cm in height. They typically measure 100 cm or deeper than a standard wall-parallel wardrobe. If your space requires more or less than the standard sizes, we at FCI London do provide customised fittings.

The benefits of a corner wardrobe

Corner wardrobes come in all shapes, sizes and configurations, so you can find one that suits your needs. There are many benefits to owning a corner wardrobe which include:

Storage systems

Corner wardrobes have built-in shelving and shoe racks which means there is no need for awkward boxes to take up valuable floor space. Instead, the shelves can be filled with your favourite shoes, hats and scarves for easy access when getting dressed each day.

Versatility

Corner wardrobes are versatile and can be utilised as a closet in the bedroom, living room, or office.

Prevents clutter

Corner wardrobes prevent clutter by providing additional storage space so you can keep all of your clothing and accessories neatly organized.

What to consider when choosing the size of your corner wardrobe

When choosing the size of your corner wardrobe, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind.

• Consider the amount of clothing that you want to store in the wardrobe—it might be helpful to take inventory before looking for a design that fits your items.
• How many people will be using this wardrobe? Is it only for one person, or will multiple people be using it at once? If you need additional storage to share, think about a larger corner wardrobe like Wardrobe Design # 31 by Logo.
• What design aesthetic are you going for in your bedroom? Do you want a modern and sleek feel, like in the Wardrobe Design # 10 by Logo, or an artistic aesthetic, like the Miss Graff Sliding Door Wardrobe by Emmebi?

How to make the most of your available space

if the corners and angular shape of your home puzzle you, corner wardrobes are perfect for you! It is designed to seamlessly blend in those nooks and crevices. Choose a corner wardrobe with shelves on both sides so you can flaunt your footwear, bags, and other possessions.

Another way to maximise available space is to add a shoe rack at the bottom of the wardrobe. This will help you prevent excessive clutter in the bedroom or hallway by keeping all of the shoes off the floor and hidden when not in use.

We offer customised corner wardrobes with added features such as built-in jewellery trays to further maximise the storage capacity. You can even install built-in lights to display your collections of handbags, watches, and other accessories.

Things to consider when designing your corner wardrobe

Here are some things to keep in mind when you're planning out your corner wardrobe:

• Dimensions:Make sure you get the dimensions right. If it's too big, you'll have wasted space; if it's too small, there won't be enough room for everything.
• Materials:Choose the right materials. Corner wardrobes are usually made of wood or glass panels if you want to display bags or shoes. Consider the aesthetic you’re going after when choosing the materials.
• Space:Think about the space required for dresses or other long-hanging clothing. Create a long hang portion first before adding shelves and drawers.
