10 Handy Tips For Designing Your Own Walk-In Wardrobe (Even In A Small Home)
1. Create An Inventory

A good walk-in wardrobe should be inviting and cosy, with lots of storage solutions, and flexible design to cater to evolving needs. So make a list of all your clothes and accessories and make sure you create space for every item.

2. Know Your Habits

Create a walk-in wardrobe that fits your organisational needs. This is important when you are planning the layout of the space.

3. Install A Full-Length Mirror

Effective distribution of storage compartments and mirrors help give the illusion of a larger space. Consider where to place a full-length mirror, leaving enough space for you to step back for a good view of your whole outfit.

4. Decorate Creatively With A Fabric Mannequin

A fabric mannequin adds a soft and creative touch, while serving as a useful hanger where you can drape coordinates such as scarves, jewellery and bags.

5. Infuse It With Personal Style And Soft Furnishings

Design a dressing table and an open display cabinet for jewellery and accessories, which add a touch of personal style and glamour. Choose lighter hues, and style with furnishings such as rugs, to soften the visual effect.

6. Lighting Is Key

Direct sunlight will cause clothing to fade, so use track lighting in inbuilt cabinet lighting instead. Ensure that they are positioned between you and the items, instead of behind or directly them, to reduce shadows. A pendant lamp can also add that wow factor.

8. Design A Mix Of Open Shelves And Pull Out Cabinets

Don’t hide your clothes behind doors, because having a clear view of your clothing, jewellery, bags and shoes allow you to visualise and decide which outfit to wear. Place your accessories in glass cabinets to keep them free from dust. If you have too much to store, design sleek pull-out cabinets where you can hide clutter, and still have sufficient space for an extensive collection.

8. Try See-Through Drawers

These will make searching for a specific item so much easier, while keeping your wardrobe neat.

9. Get Hooked

Install a few retractable hooks that give you the option of hanging up clothes that you might be wearing again soon.

10. Use Identical Hangers

Reduce visual clutter by using only one kind of clothes hangers. It’s an especially useful tip for small spaces that can look messy quickly.
