When it comes to building and designing your dream bedroom, you could say your wardrobe is one of the most important parts of it. As it takes the majority of the space, you want to make sure that you are not picking a wardrobe that swallows all of the room and fits in with the feng shui. While many people aim to have their wardrobe as a whole separate room, not even have that luxury, so you might be wondering how you can get the most out of the space you’ve got and add your wardrobe within that space.
With careful planning and designs, you can transform your space into both a functional and aesthetically pleasing space.
Why Choose a Custom Closet?
I have seen firsthand how a well-planned custom closet has been a godsend for maximising their space but also catering for all of their wardrobe needs. You can essentially have as much hanger space as you need and as many sliding shelves as you require. Many homeowners have experienced the same struggles when it comes to finding a wardrobe that both meets all their needs space-wise but fits in with aesthetics, not to mention buying something and altering it to fit takes even more money and time than a lot of us don’t want to shell out.
Finding and choosing traditional wardrobes that match all your needs can be a lengthy process and not everyone has time to scroll endlessly through the options in just hope they will find it. These are just a few of the inconveniences that are met and can be resolved with a custom design.
Within this post, we will share some potential ideas to help you begin your custom design wardrobe journey so you head straight over and send your design for construction.
Embrace Vertical Space
With a custom-built wardrobe, you want to make sure you are maximising all the vertical space; this will give you so much room for storage in areas that would otherwise be wasted, whether it’s with your shoeboxes or Christmas jumpers. There can never be enough storage.
Here is how we would recommend that you make the most out of your vertical space:
- Floor-to-ceiling shelves.
- Hanging rod tiers, whether double or even triple, maximize your hanging space.
- Over-the-door organizer’s
Integrate Smart Storage Solutions
Creating a custom wardrobe puts a lot of pressure on you in terms of picking what types of storage solutions you are going to need or currently need. But here are some key storage solutions you can choose from to help you assess which are essential and non-essential for your collection.
- Hidden drawer that pulls out beneath handing clothes for your small items such as socks, underwear or even workout gear.
- Valet rods are retractable, which is perfect for outfit planning or as a temporary hanging solution so it can be a place for your outfits for work the next day or even your going out dresses.
- Customising jewelry storage is a great idea to maximise the space between a hanging rod and drawer or even as an entire drawer.
- Shoe walls can help you save a multitude of space outside of your wardrobe; this could be the entire lower section of your wardrobe or whatever else works for the space you have.
Incorporate Multifunctional Elements
Getting a two-for-one deal on designs is the way forward in terms of maximising the time and investment into a custom-built wardrobe. Here are all of our ideas that serve as multifunctional features.
- If the space allows it, add an island that doubles as a storage and seating area.
- Something I loved about old-style apartments was the fold-down ironing board. If you have the space or opportunity to incorporate this, it’s a great and convenient element to incorporate.
- A hidden laundry hamper is a great way to add some convenience to your life but also hide a usual eye sore that you would find in a different area of a room.
Finishing Touches
After you’ve done your research and formed together a full idea of what storage solutions, where and how large you want your new custom-built wardrobe, you can move onto the best part, which is adding your own personal touch and adding more aesthetically pleasing pieces to your wardrobe.
Here are some ideas and things you can add to make a complete personal to your wardrobe.
LED Lighting
Having lighting you can turn on and off at your convenience will make it easier to not only find your pieces but set the tone. Not only that, it will add a high-end boutique feel to your wardrobe every single time you throw on an outfit. Not to mention it’s a really easy and affordable way to add something different.
Colour and Texture
If its within your style, then adding some fun elements of colour and texture is a great way to add some character and brighten up your wardrobe space. This could include anything from coloured drawers, vintage handles or even quirky hanging rails. Don’t be afraid to push the boat out, especially while you are upgrading your wardrobe; you might as well go big or go home.
Tech Savvy Additions
If you want to go all out on your wardrobe customisations and have a larger budget to play with because these don’t tend to be cheap or largely accessible. Elevate your wardrobe game with smart mirrors, an automated clothing carousel like in clueless or a charging station for all your gadgets.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to designing your perfect wardrobe, there are many things for you to consider, such as the space you have and need and which storage solutions work with all of the above. Having help from professionals can make the process so much easier but it’s a fun process to consider how and where you want specific elements in your dream wardrobe. We couldn’t recommend a custom and even built-in wardrobe; this will completely transform your way of living and give your entire space a whole makeover.
