Best Walk-in Wardrobe Design Ideas

A well-equipped walk-in wardrobe is essential to many homeowners these days. These storage areas have evolved into personalized spaces that are much more than a place to keep clothing. Men and woman both want these customized closets to be as awe-inspiring as the rest of their homes. 

What functions should every walk-in robe have?

Getting the size and space right is key to a successful walk-in-robe. They're most suitable in a larger bedroom and typically located next to, or in line with, the ensuite. If designing for a couple there needs to be enough space for both to store their belongings and get dressed without feeling cramped or uncomfortable.

“A good walk-in wardrobe should be a sanctuary; a place of order and organisation,” says interior designer Bronnie Masefau. “One important thing that is often forgotten is a space to place things at the end of a long day. This could be the top of a drawer unit, an upholstered ottoman or stylish chair. Having a dedicated area to rest or air your goodies between hanging them or wearing them means you’ll be less likely to develop a messy ‘floordrobe’.”

Modern walk-ins are often more than “wardrobe” with some transformed into a personal haven for meditation or a place to relax and unwind in away from other family members. Some people incorporate unique features such as washer and dryers with laundry stations, counters with espresso machines, mini-refrigerators with wine bar, charging stations and small desks, and lounging areas.
