6 Things to consider when designing your home wardrobe
If you are a new homeowner or just recently moved into a new place, one of the biggest headaches is finding space for your clothes, accessories, shoes and other things. The solution is actually pretty simple and straightforward, custom-designed wardrobe. This way you could create an organized wardrobe they way you always dream of. Also, a well custom-designed wardrobe enables you to have your dream wardrobe without it looking out of place. To help you get your dream wardrobe, these are 6 things to consider when designing it.
- Plan how to store your items
This should be the very first thing you plan when designing a custom-made wardrobe. You should know what you are storing and how will you store it. You should ask yourself these questions, will you be folding your clothes or will you be hanging them? How should I store my accessories?
To tackle this, you should divide your belongings based on their size and dimension. For example, long coats would require taller storage space. Also, you should plan for specific items such as bags and shoes. If this is too confusing for you, you could always contact your wardrobe designer to help you with the planning.
2. Decide whether it is double-hand or single-hang
Your shirt and pants may require a double-hang level, while dresses and coats are usually taller, therefore, they require a single-hang. So if you have a lot of coats, it would be best to fit all of it with single-hangs. However, if you do not own many long dresses and long coats then it is best to maximize the storage area with double-hangs.
3. Consider an island in your wardrobe
Building an island in your wardrobe room comes with benefits. They could make your room more appealing as well as making your storage more efficient. If you own a lot of accessories such as cufflinks, jewelry, ties, and belts, having an island to store them would make it much more accessible. However, it is important to keep in mind that building an island in your wardrobe, will require you to sacrifice a lot of space in the room. To help you, work closely with your custom-made wardrobe builder to find space for an island.
4. How to deal with corners
The corner of the room could make your custom-designed wardrobe awkward and tricky to build. One way to solve this is to include corner shelves for hanging clothes or to store your bags. It is best to speak your wardrobe designer to find out how to deal with corners in your design.
5. Find space for a bench
Another thing to consider is finding space for a bench. If you have designed your custom-made wardrobe, you would want a place where you could get dressed, put on your shoes or put down your jacket and so on. Consider having a bench, it will definitely make your experience better.
6. Find space for your shoes and accessories
What is a dream wardrobe if you do not have a space to showcase your shoes and accessories. When designing your wardrobe, you may want to assign an entire section for your shoes. Make sure the shelves are in different heights so you could store both your boots and your sandals.
As for your accessories, you may want to have trays for that would fit into your wardrobe to store your jewelry and cufflinks. Also, you may want to have a space where you could hang your ties and belts.
