How Do I Get the Most Out of My Corner Wardrobe?

One of the most frequently asked questions from our showroom visitors is: how do I get the most out of my corner wardrobe?

Due to the unusual angles, corner wardrobes are infamous for being challenging to configure. This may pose added difficulty that is not related to installing a typical wardrobe. But when installed properly, corner wardrobes are a useful way to maximise storage and guarantee that every inch of your bedroom is used.

Choose a suitable paint colour for the inside of your corner wardrobe

If you're looking for a way to brighten the inside of your corner wardrobe, painting it is a wise idea. Painting the inside is a simple way to turn a drab space into a fresh and inviting storage area.

1. Gather your tools: Prepare your chosen paint colour, brushes, and paint rollers for this project. Put on protective eyewear and gloves. We recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting some paint on.

2. Clean the wardrobe: If it's been a while since you've cleaned your wardrobe, now is the time to do it. Vacuum the inside and wipe down any dust or dirt you find on the outside with a damp cloth.

3. Apply some primer: First, apply some primer and let that dry for about an hour before moving on to applying paint.

4. Start painting: Apply some paint using your brush in even strokes from top to bottom, making sure that all surfaces are covered evenly. You might find it helpful to do this step in two or three coats instead of just one thick coat to ensure that no area is unevenly painted.

5. Let them dry: After letting each coat dry completely overnight (or longer if necessary), you may start repacking your clothes and other belongings.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

Hang mirrors inside the doors to create the illusion of space

When you're going for a luxe look in your bedroom, one of the first things to consider is how you can use mirrors to create the illusion of space.

Full-length mirrors play a pivotal role in creating the illusion of more space. Hang these mirrors inside the doors of your corner wardrobe so the reflection of light creates the illusion of a larger space.

Add shelves and baskets to organise your clothes and accessories

If you're looking for a way to make the most of your corner wardrobe, consider adding shelving and baskets. With these simple additions, you can easily organise your clothes and accessories aesthetically and practically.

Adding a shoe rack will maximise the space under the hanging rail. If you have enough room, you can attach a small chest of drawers for folded items. Shelf dividers are an ideal choice for separating items from each other, making locating your items much easier.

If your bedroom has high ceilings, the addition of two tiers of hanging racks to the interior of your corner wardrobes will make it more unique. This provides twice as much hanging space for your shirts and pants and efficiently maximises wardrobe space.

Folded linens, towels, and shoes can be kept in the bottom wardrobe in baskets or storage boxes.

Our wardrobes such as the Ghost Sliding Door Wardrobe by Jesse and the Arco Hinged Door Wardrobes by Dall'Agnese are great choices if you value storage space in your home.

Install LED strip lights to showcase your clothes and accessories

A corner wardrobe is a great place to store all of your clothes, but you may want to take the aesthetics up a notch. We suggest purchasing high-quality LED strip lights. LED strip lights are the perfect way to make your corner wardrobe more functional and visually appealing.

Not only do they provide you with ample visibility, but they add flair to your wardrobe.

These lights are also incredibly easy to install. Simply peel the backing off and stick them in place. LED strip lights are available in different colours and lengths so you can choose exactly what you need for your space.
