Choosing the perfect exterior finishes for your wardrobes often proves to be much easier, as you carry through a larger design aesthetic from the rest of your home. Whether you’ve chosen sleek fitted wardrobes or chic portable wardrobes, we’re all after easy functional storage solutions for less cluttered spaces and homes that run like a well-oiled machine.
The design of your wardrobe interiors is more than just a style choice, however, as this is where functionality takes precedence and is your opportunity to make how you get ready and organise your personal possessions to best suit your needs and lifestyle.
From racks to drawers, shelves to hangers, this part of your wardrobe has an impact on aesthetics, but more of an impact on your mental organisation. Well ordered wardrobes will make your home more comfortable and functional.

A lot can be said about choosing the right wardrobe to save space in your bedroom, but wardrobes aren’t just about creating storage in your bedroom. The internal configuration of your wardrobe can change how useful the space inside your wardrobe is and can help you get more out of this area simply through the application of some design principles.
Inspired by the tiny home movement many designers have incorporated space-saving and multifunctional design elements into mainstream home design making average-sized homes feel much more efficient, spacious and luxurious.
Avoid having a cluttered closet and consider designating spaces for segmented organisation options like compartmentalised drawers, display dividers or open shelving for shoe organisation. By applying the purpose-driven division principle, you can ensure you have enough space for both hanging and folded clothes as well as collections of smaller items. Designing the interior of your closet sets you up for a better-organised life. A multi-functional space with a combination of storage options gives you a suitable place for everything you are looking to store in the most convenient and accessible way.
Knowing what you want to store in your wardrobe will help you decide on the type of storage you want to include. Perhaps you want to store sports equipment away from items that could be soiled, or you may want to include a concealed safe or even long-term storage for items that are seldom used. Modern bedrooms are designed to contain as much as possible, leaving only your bedroom essentials out in the open. Deciding ahead of time to make room for everything you want to keep to hand keeps your storage free of clutter, organised and accessible.
Having lighting inside your wardrobe in addition to the lighting in your bedroom is a great way to keep your bedroom organised especially with deep closets where the bedroom lighting may not reach. In shared rooms lighting inside your wardrobe can make it easier to navigate your closet without disturbing a sleeping partner. There are different types of lighting available from overhead lighting with variable brightness to motion-sensing lights that are activated when individual doors are opened. Strip lighting is a popular option as it can make navigating even the far reaches of your wardrobe far more convenient.
Motion sensor lights are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the type of gadgets you can have installed in your wardrobe. An integrated clothes steamer can help you quickly and easily iron out small creases in your clothing after extended storage. This easy solution can be used with your clothes still on the hanger making it a seamless addition to getting ready. Elevator racks make high storage more accessible, bringing clothing into reach when you need it, and keeping it out of the way when you don’t. You may even include charging stations, smart screens or lit display cases for watch collections.
Compartmentalising your wardrobe is crucial when combining often used items with storage space. You no doubt have different attire suited for different seasons. You should consider the different types of storage that would suit clothing for each season. For example, winter knits are better stored in folding space whereas summer shirts and dresses will require hanging space. Designing your wardrobe around your seasonal needs ensures you have the right type of storage throughout the year and a place to preserve the rest of your attire and keep it from filling your usable space.
The inside of your wardrobe might not be visible as often as the outside, but it does affect how you wear your clothes and what you wear. An organised wardrobe allows you to have access to and see all your clothes and accessories so you can vary your outfits, always putting your best foot forward. Clothing displays at stores and boutiques have clothes arranged very specifically to increase their appeal and the feeling you attach to them when you choose an item. The internal aesthetics of your wardrobe should show off your curated selection in the best light so you look and feel your best.
Luxury isn’t just a visible thing, it’s an experience you feel through quality fitments and a design that feels just right for you. Talking through your routine and what is important to you can help your designer and the carpenter work to build the perfect wardrobe with just the right place for everything.
Personalised shoe storage is a popular customisation. Depending on the size of your shoe collection, you can include a rotating shoe wheel or carousel that keeps your shoes in pairs, tidily displayed and accessible for easy perusal. Individual, transparent shoe boxes are another option that keeps shoes visible while also protecting your most valued pairs.
Classic jewellery boxes have limited space, but built-in designer storage can be built to suit the size of your collection and display it so you never miss a piece. Velvet inlays and hanging hooks can further improve your storage, making it so your storage not only displays your jewellery but also protects it while it’s in storage.
Storing valuables, important documents and legal storage for firearms is essential for every home. A built-in safe in your wardrobe gives you a concealed place for your safe that is private and in a place only a limited number of people can access.
A big TV screen may make movies in bed great, but it may not suit your aesthetic or even be part of your everyday relaxing routine. Having a TV unit built into your wardrobe gives you the option to shut out your TV when you don’t need it.
Although mirrored doors are en vogue, they aren’t everyone's style even though everyone needs them. Fitting mirrors inside your wardrobe is an option that could offer you full-length mirrors, magnified mirrors and even mirrors with built-in lighting or smart technology.
Bins aren’t a new concept for wardrobe interior storage, but innovative drawers give you better access to your bins, adding a touch of sophistication to the appearance of your wardrobe's interior. Built-in, customised bin storage organises your bins making permanent optimised use of your storage space.
When designing your bedroom, your private sanctuary, it isn’t enough to just store your clothes, it’s important to store them in a way that makes sense to you and can make your life more efficient.
Studies have shown that a more organised home, specifically a more organised wardrobe can make you more productive simply by making getting ready easier. This in turn improves your self-esteem and has an impact on how you interact with the people and the world around you. Wardrobe interior design trends are geared towards providing functional luxury that extends beyond the beauty of your wardrobe exterior. Including personalised elements based on your storage needs and how you use your wardrobe is the foremost design trend incorporating different storage types like drawers, boxes, hanging space at varying heights and even incorporating technology into your wardrobes to make your life easier.
