Your bedroom is your sanctuary; it’s where you relax and unwind. The interiors of your room need to be attuned to your personal taste and style. This leads us to a major part of every bedroom – your bedroom wardrobe.
There are several storage solutions available, but not every option will align with your bedroom. It’s crucial to choose a luxury wardrobe that will complement your aesthetic and provide functional storage solutions.
Yes, wardrobes are a bedroom staple, but they are so much more. Many people tend to brush wardrobes aside as mere storage structures – and it shows.
Your wardrobe design should channel your unique aesthetic, it should be a continuation of your bedroom’s interior style. The delicate detailing and high-quality materials invested in a well-designed wardrobe reflect your personal values. They signify your dedication to treating your interiors like an interactive piece of art.
A well-designed cupboard will enhance your daily dressing process by making it much more time-efficient and pleasurable. It’s likely that you start your day at the foot of your wardrobe, putting together your look for the day and who doesn’t love a good, pleasant start? Innovative additions and gadgets make organising your belongings easier. Functionality lies at the heart of a smartly designed storage.
Many people associate designer wardrobes with large mansions, a luxury limited to spacious bedrooms only. That’s a misguided notion. There are several compact and modular storage solutions that allow you to store your belongings efficiently and in style.
Sleek and vertically aligned wardrobes, for instance, offer a polished look and pack in lots of storage. This is because they take up less visual space – our eyes are more likely to span horizontally than vertically when taking in a space. They offer a contemporary finish and can modernise your bedroom with minimal effort. Another trick for small bedrooms is to place your wardrobe in a corner to maximise floor space.
Small bedrooms can also benefit from the concept of fitted sliding wardrobe doors. They can help you make the most out of your space by utilising every inch with customised attention as compared to their ready-made alternates. And when you work with the right designer, even installing a walk-in in small bedrooms is easily possible.
Where you place a wardrobe can make or break the aesthetic value of your room. You want to create a harmonious, cohesive appeal within your bedroom - after all, it is meant to be the most peaceful corner of your home. There are some important parameters to consider when placing it. It should not disrupt the interior style of your room but enhance it.Your wardrobe should be in an easily accessible area with no blockades to enable a smoother lifestyle. Not only is a tight fit impractical, but it renders a highly unattractive, clustered effect. It should not take up all the space in your room – yes, everyone loves having extra storage, but your choice needs to realistically complement the room’s size specifications.
There are some more factors that should not be omitted when deciding on your placement. A wardrobe should not block any entrances and natural light from windows or skylights. Even if it overlaps by mere inches, this can give off a very haphazard and closed-off feeling. Another tip is to focus on creating functional areas by setting your wardrobes near your dressing tables or a sofa.
One of the most popular placement choices to date is adjacent to the bed. This classic position ensures quick and easy access as soon as you wake up, or right before you nod off – which are the two most common times we consult our wardrobe. Moreover, this position follows the lines of your bed, which creates a seamless appeal to your space’s furniture layout.
Another aesthetically appealing option is to place your wardrobe opposite the bed. This creates a somewhat symmetrical balance in your bedroom as these two furniture items are usually the ones taking up the most space. This layout style also allows your wardrobe to shine out more – perfect if you want to invest in a high-finish luxurious wardrobe. Rooms with irregularly shaped walls or ceilings, such as lofts, are often not suited for centrally placed wardrobes. You need to limit the visual impact of your wardrobe by placing it in a corner. In this way, the wardrobe will still imbue a luxurious charm to the design value of the space without becoming overbearing.
Wardrobes are a highly personalised experience. Yes, the same can be said for other furniture items too, but the one you choose tells a lot about who you are as a person. Because they are a part of your most personal room and contain your most prized and private possessions.
Muted and elegant, bold and focal, stylish and trendy, classic and sturdy – the type of bespoke wardrobe you choose will inevitably set the tone for your bedroom interiors. It needs to channel your personality in the language of design.
Freestanding wardrobes are ready-to-install solutions that can be placed anywhere you want. They offer a sense of flexibility. If you’re someone with a penchant for rearranging your furniture every few years, then this option is perfect. However, one major downside is that they come with zero customisations. Their inner layout may not be suited to house your belongings efficiently – which pretty much defeats the purpose of having one. You may get lucky and find an option that suits your interior space, but the chances of that happening are low. The length, sizes, finishes and colours of your wardrobe can transform your room into the bedroom of your dreams or of your nightmares.
Fitted bedroom wardrobes are tailored to exactly what your bedroom requires. They offer the luxurious finish we all aspire to achieve with our wardrobe – a sense of royalty, even. Haven’t we all at one point fantasised having a celebrity’s lavish walk-in wardrobe for ourselves? Custom wardrobes are especially recommended if you want to utilise any odd nooks and awkward corners in your room, all while elevating your bedroom’s ambience.
There are a variety of materials for wardrobes – some sturdy, some stylish, while some are both.
The key idea with finding the right material is something durable enough to house your belongings while being chic enough to charm up your interiors. To this effect – we recommend going for sleeker wardrobe doors such as veneer or lacquered glass doors encased in aluminium frames. A smoked mirror-finished area is another trending option as it creates the illusion of more space.
High-quality wooden or aluminium doors in matte finishes are a classic choice. Some wardrobes also combine a variety of materials –see-through and opaque - to create a visually stimulating design.
Another interesting choice for those who are willing to go bold with their textures is wardrobe doors covered in fabric and even wallpaper. This option especially suits those who seek to amplify an otherwise bland-looking bedroom.
Fitted furniture in the bedrooms can be considered the showstoppers for your home’s interiors. Every single aspect of this room needs to be highly curated while also complementing the other elements.
A sliding door wardrobe should be designed bearing in mind the types of belongings you intend to store. Drawers for your knitwear? Large compartments for your outerwear? More hanging space or more folding compartments? Small shoe cabinets for your sandals or tall ones for your knee-high boots? Jewellery drawers, tie organisers, there are so many additions that need to be made accordingly.
Your fitted bedroom furniture should be in sync with the rest of your furniture. It’s the 2020s – we no longer believe in matching furniture sets of course. But at the very least, your wardrobe needs to match the style and tone you want for your room. The benefit of fitted wardrobes is that you can make the most minute customisations to ensure that you can achieve such harmony.
