Choosing a New Design for Your Home and Garden

If you're lucky enough to have a walk-in wardrobe for your bedroom, planning the space can be daunting. Not only do you want the wardrobe to look charming and attractive, but you also want it to operate functionally. With no prior designing experience, it is hard to decide where to begin. Fortunately, there are some great ideas to help you kick-start the planning process. Here are some meticulous tips to help you prepare the perfect layout for a walk-in wardrobe.

Create Open Shelf Storage Spaces Above Hanging Areas

Naturally you'll want to hang your clothes from a height that you're comfortable with, which means that there's probably a little room above the hanging area to create small open shelves. These shelves can accommodate your accessories like handbags, scarves, purses, cufflinks, hats and other folded items easily. This layout idea takes the clutter away from the floor by smartly planning unused spaces above the clothes hanging area. 

Design a Layout with an Open Feel

You don't want to feel stifled in your walk-in wardrobe as you enter, so be sure to add hanging rods and open shelving close to the door to create an uncluttered feel when you enter. Add mirrors in as many places as possible to enlarge the space and make it feel more open. You can also open up the space by using corners smartly. Since corners tend to waste space, you can design V-shaped shelves to optimise the space for accommodating all your shoes. Add task and pendant lighting to really brighten up your walk-in wardrobe space.

Boost Vertical Storage

Vertical storage emphasises the sleek design of a walk-in wardrobe brilliantly because it draws the eye upwards and takes away floor clutter. By filling the full height of the wall with storage systems, you'll design a tidy layout, while giving the illusion of a larger walk-in wardrobe area.

Anchor the Wardrobe with a Dresser

It's easy to get lost in a sea of uncertainty inside the walk-in wardrobe, especially when you're getting ready. To bring a sense of decisiveness to the space, anchor your walk-in wardrobe with a built-in dresser to create a functional focal point that not only looks attractive, but also takes care of all your needs when you're preparing to go out. You'll no longer have to worry about running back and forth between an external dresser and your wardrobe.

By focusing functionality at the helm of the layout, you'll create an exceptional walk-in wardrobe that not only looks fabulous, but is also perfectly organised. Learn more about your organisation options by contacting companies like Wardrobe Selection Centre.
