Wardrobe

In the modern world, we see wardrobes as more than just storage spaces. A good wardrobe is a must-have in the home, and there are many clever, functional and presentable options available. Whether you’re looking for something quick, easy and affordable or a custom-made, luxurious wardrobe, there are options to suit. The best thing to do is to lay out what you want with your tradie.

Know your space

The first thing to think about is what space you have available for your wardrobe. Adding storage solutions to a built-in wardrobe? Renovating, extending or building new? Do you want to go standard or walk-in? There are plenty of ways to achieve a great layout, and if you plan and configure it correctly, your wardrobe can be a very functional space.

Make it work

Think about the ways in which you are going to use your wardrobe. Each cupboard will store different items and a layout that works for one space may not work for another. Looking at the space available and working out how to effectively maintain as much storage area as possible is a key starting point. If you are renovating, extending or building new, think about where you want your wardrobe situated.

What to consider

Accessibility and functionality: Think about areas that are harder to reach than others, how doors operate and where to place shelving, racks or drawers so that maximum accessibility is achieved and the space suits your needs.

Style: Making an effort to match your wardrobe with your home’s colour scheme, and ensuring the finish complements your home, will make for a more refined, considered appearance.

Decide on door

Decide what type of doors will work for the space. This will depend on the size of the opening and room. If you have a wardrobe in a small room or hallway, doors that open out may result in accessibility issues. Why not add sliding or bifold doors to maximise space? Consider whether you want classic, ornate or statement doors, or if multi-use options such as mirrored doors will work.
