Custom Wardrobe Tips 

Here are some practical tips for designing the perfect wardrobe for your bedroom:

 

Project by Balnei & Colina

1. Determine your storage needs

In order to make sure that your custom wardrobe is designed to perfection, you need to know exactly what your storage requirements are. Make a list of the items you need stored as well as quantities. 

A skilled wardrobe designer will design a custom wardrobe solution that suits your specific storage requirements, encompassing varying storage configurations that help you organise all your clothing and accessories. At Balnei & Colina our wardrobe design experts can create the perfect wardrobe solution with the right number of shelves, hanging rails and drawers for your specific needs as well as provide guidance on the selection of fittings and finishes. 

Design Tip: One of the other ways to maintain flexibility in terms of the storage space is to opt for adjustable shelves. These help accommodate changing needs over time.

2. Room to move

Accurate measurements ar one of the most crucial aspects of good wardrobe design. Key to this is designing the wardrobe in relation to the room itself, for example, ensuring there is  sufficient space to open up doors without having to navigate around beds or any other furniture.

Before meeting with your wardrobe design specialist, assess your existing wardrobe space. Note down which parts of your existing configuration work and which could be improved. Test your  internal drawers -  Can they be opened to maximum extension easily, and are the contents readily accessible?

Lastly, consider whether internal shelves are wide enough for their desired use (i.e. shoes or storage boxes). Provide your list to your wardrobe specialist during your design consultation.

Design Tips: If opting for an internal door mirror, select the wardrobe door that will give you the best vantage point with room to manouvre.

3. Hanging Space vs Drawers

Now, this little calculation can take some brainpower but is well worth getting it right. To ensure the best possible design outcome for your wardrobe conduct an audit of your current clothing.  Group items together according to how you want them categorised in your new wardrobe layout - hanging or folded. 

If your robe is shared by you and your partner, you may even customise your side vs theirs. Prepare a list for your partner and one for yourself, noting the categories and the hanging length required for each category as you go. If you want to work the drawers into the design, they need to be allocated early in the process to ensure they will clear door hinges or any other obstacles. 

Design Tip - Running out of hanging space and have high ceilings? Consider adding some pull-down rods!

4. Cohesive look 

The beauty of custom cabinetry is that every aspect can be custom designed to suit your specific needs and preferences. Select an exterior finish and materials, as well as hardware and embellishments that complement the rest of the features in your bedroom and wider home. This will help create a cohesive and seamless look throughout.
