What matters most in a closet design!
The drool-worthy closet is fun to think about, however, does it make more sense having a closet focused only on design. Absolutely not! I really feel that a wardrobe needs to be so much about the function of the users.
Ask yourself these questions before freezing a design for the wardrobes:
How much space do I already have for all my storgae needs?
What would be the fucntion of the wardrobe in this room?
and the list goes on....
The Case for a Closet Design Driven by Function
A functional closet is simply a closet which works for you. If your blouses, dresses, jewelry, shoes or underwear are impossible to find, what good is your closet even if it’s the most stylish one on the planet? Here’s 3 solid (and practical) reasons function should take center stage in a closet design.
Understand your needs specially your evolving needs
• Tip #1 – As a family understand the requirement of the space and your needs. Go roomwise and and as yourself the functional need of the wardrobe in this room.
For a master bedroom, you would definitely a simple wardrobe with a specefic space for everything that you will need on an everyday basis. Add some smart wardrobe accessories to make your life easy
For Kids bedroom understand how functional the wardrobe would be as the kids grow up. What would they need specially the little ones who would want to make pick their clothes by themselves. Add drawers/ pullout hangers/baskets and so much more can be added to the wardrobe according to the need.
Prioritize space for the things that you would not need often like your dresses or longer hanging clothes. Design for a long hang section first and then place drawers and shelves after. Make all remaining space double hang in order to maximize vertical space.
Ease of accessibility should be your top priority
• Tip #2- One of the most important tip is to make the wardrobe convenient to use! Dont commit a sin by designing a wardrobe that is not functional for your everyday use.
For Kids bedroom/Master bedroom add a lot of drawers below this allows to pullout the drawer conveniently and find stuff. Shelves are inconvenient as its difficut to find stuff thats been pushed behind.
Light it up to make it more functional
• Tip #3 I think it a necessity to light up the wardrobes to makes ones life easy. No need for wiring as there are abundant solutions for this. Get battery opertaed sensor lights its a boon!
