Bespoke wardrobe design aims to create not just a beautiful design of the unit but also to make it maximum usable. It takes time to itemise your belongings and create an efficient and organised wardrobe. The best approach is to assess your storage needs and incorporate practical solutions into your design. Here are 10 guidelines to follow in the wardrobe design:
1. Know the dimensions of your clothes
Whether you’re planning to store clothes on hangers or shelves. You want to make sure you’re getting the best possible storage solution for each garment.
One thing to be aware of is the width of your clothes. The depth of your wardrobe cabinets and panels will range from 350mm to 600mm. Most clothing items, including shirts, blouses, jackets and coats, will fit inside a 600mm in-deep area. Anything with less depth won’t always fit your clothing, which means your shirts and blouses will protrude, so plan accordingly.
It’s best to base your design around the types of clothing you have. Here are a few dimensions you should know:
Folded jumpers and shirts require 9in to 380mm of linear space each.
Coats can require up to 1700mm of vertical space.
Trousers and jeans require up to 1250mm of vertical space (about half of that when folded).
Skirts require up to 1150mm of vertical space.
2. Include the right amount of double- and single-hang sections
Evaluate your wardrobe and take an inventory of what you own. Do you have more blouses than dresses? Do you own any large winter coats and jackets? Whether to include more double hang or single hang sections will hinge on your clothing collection. Shirts, blouses and T-shirts belong in double-hang sections, while dresses and long coats and jackets normally need single-hang sections.
Men’s wardrobe spaces normally don’t require many, if any, single-hang sections (exceptions are for long coats and other items). Adding more double-hang sections will better accommodate a wardrobe composed of mostly dress shirts and casual wear. 3. Figure out the best solution for corners
You can use Corner shelves to hang clothes or store bags and suitcases. They also create a more seamless wardrobe design. It’s perfectly acceptable to have your panel overlap the adjacent wall (as in the wardrobe here). Corner space may not be super-easy to access, you won’t be wasting any storage space. You can hang seasonal attire, such as winter coats, in these hidden spots.
4. Make the shoes fit
A pair of women’s shoes generally measures anywhere between 130-140mm and 10in wide, while a men’s pair is 6½in to 250mm wide. The best rule of thumb is to allow 170mm to 300mm of space per pair.
If you own boots, ensure some of your shelves and cubbyholes are high enough to fit them. 5. Wardrobe bench
A built in bench is a comfortable way to have a sitting space to help dressing up in the same time being able to hide it away.
You may use the window side for a bench or just to have a standard way of having a separate sitting bench. 6. Don’t forget about your accessories
Every household has bags, jewellery, ties or belts. A Accessories space It helps to create an organised space for these belongings, too. Belt and tie racks can be compact and mounted in any dead space you may have along walls. You may also want racks to hang your purses on to more quickly put your outfits together. Including a jewellery tray in one of your drawers is also an option. You can always put trays in a drawer in or near a dressing table, too.

8. Make Maximum Use Of Vertical Space
