A wardrobe is one of the most important pieces of furniture you can own. Not only does it store away the majority of your things in your bedroom, but it also functions as a centerpiece which can decide the theme and tone of a room. It’s a dominant piece that you want to get right.
The ultimate luxury for all fashionistas and for those who just love getting dressed up, having this kind of space brings back the joy of dressing, but it also adds significant value to your house should you ever wish to sell it. By having a custom-made walk-in wardrobe installed, you’re reassured that it will perfectly fit your space and you can select the design that suits your style.
Tempted? Here are just some of the benefits you’ll enjoy whilst indulging your inner Carrie Bradshaw.
Vast storage capacity
Walk-in wardrobes are effectively fancy storage spaces, so you need to be clever about the kind of furniture you want in there. First of all, consider all the clothes you want to put in there and how you want to store them. Which ones need hanging? Which ones need their own shelves? And where do you plan on putting all your shoes?
Shoe addicts will be particularly intrigued by clever shelving solutions whilst those who love all things shiny and sparkly will need a dedicated space for all their delicate necklaces, earrings and even cufflinks.
You can utilise the whole space
When we say the whole space, we mean every single inch. That includes all the wall space so that you can keep the floor nice and clear.
Let’s work from the bottom up, with shoe shelves occupying the lower half of your wardrobe and longer cabinets for coats, dresses and other long pieces. Then include some slimmer shelves for t-shirts and jumpers and such before turning your attention to decoration. After all, this is likely to be an extension of yourself, so you might as well bring in plenty of your own personality too!
All your treasures are safe and secure
If you have particularly expensive pieces of treasured jewelry that you don’t want lying around, having a walk-in wardrobe is a great solution. This way, they are not in easy reach should you be burgled, and they are stowed away safely from pets. You can also install locks on drawers and on the doors of the wardrobe itself.
They’re a great way to utilize awkward spaces If you’re stuck with an awkwardly shaped room that has little use for anything, transforming this into a walk-in wardrobe is a great way to go. Even the loft is a great place for a walk-in wardrobe and that’s one of the most frequently wasted spaces in the house!
