Size
The size of the wardrobe depends on the way you will utilise it and the number of people who will be using it. Consider exactly where in your bedroom the wardrobe is going to go, so it needs to fit on the space perfectly.
Make sure there will be enough clearance room to easily open doors, walk around and fit your other items of furniture in comfortably. You can choose as tall wardrobe as possible to maximise storage. We should know that this space can be invaluable for stashing spare bedding, and items that don’t require daily use.
Functionality
Enhance the organisation of your bedroom by using built-in shoe racks, jewellery drawers, and adjustable cubby holes to help reduce clutter and potentially remove the need for additional furniture in the bedroom.
You can instantly double the amount of hanging space by optimising the full height of the wardrobe for long coats and dressing whilst suits, short dresses and jumpers can hang comfortably on half-height rails.
