Bedroom Wardrobe
A wardrobe or armoire is a standing closet used for storing clothes. The earliest wardrobe was a chest, and it was not until some degree of luxury was attained in regal palaces and the castles of powerful nobles that separate accommodation was provided for the apparel of the great.
Choosing a wardrobe can quickly turn into a homeowner’s nightmare, considering the number of facets that need to be considered before making a final decision. With free-standing and pre-built wardrobes, the caveat is that it may be the wrong fit for your room or may run out of storage space too quickly. At the same time, since they’re mass-produced, they’re less likely to cater to your custom storage needs.
This is where built-in wardrobe designs come in.
Built-in wardrobe designs look just how you want them to on the inside. To divide storage space, it’s always sensible to opt for more hanging space over shelf space.
Hanging space: It is much easier to maintain your closet and put away laundry. An added benefit of this is that your clothes are always on display and you can de-clutter based on season, occasion or do a full Marie Kondo.
Drawers: These are perfect for storing delicates, socks, accessories or things you simply can’t hang up. They’re especially beneficial if you like to keep important documents or precious jewellery within your closet system for safekeeping.
Shelves: These work well for knits, jeans, loungewear, t-shirts or any other garment type that folds easily and isn’t flimsy or delicate. If you have shelves at the bottom of your closet, they’re ideal for seasonal footwear.
Where you position these also matter on whether your wardrobe has sliding or hinged doors. For sliding doors, shelves and drawers go to the side for easy access while for hinged doors, they go in the middle.
