How To Decide Wardrobe Internal Layout?

[hobbes187 0]

Hi all,

My reno has reached the carpentry stage and we need to decide on how the interior of the wardrobe is going to be laid out. Where can I see lots of samples of wardrobe interior?

I hope to maximise the space and fit in a good mix shelves and drawers to cater for hanging shirts, belts, ties for me and lots of bags for the mrs.

My wardrobes are 7ft and 6ft each full height. Any input is greatly appreciated!

A visit to IKEA would be good cause they give you the visual understanding on lots of hardware fittings for bags, pants, jewelry, drawers and pull-out baskets for their custom kitchens. Drawers will cost more so your carpenter may charge accordingly.

I was also stuck at a stage like you, but later on I realised this is very personal. The layout depends on your clothes and what is important to you.

Eg, the wardrobe of office-workers who wear shirt/tie/pants everyday would be very different from those who work in industrial areas, or those who wear uniforms.

You should go take a look at your current wardrobe and see what are the must-have's and what is lacking in there, then you will have a good idea how your personal wardrobe should be.

I agree it is really depending on personal lifestyle. Do you hang most of your clothes? Or are they mostly folded? For our case, since we intend to hang most of our clothes, we planned more room for hanging clothes with just a couple of shelves.

But it will be good to have 2-3 drawers to keep more intimate clothings, esp. if it is going to be WIW. The top shelves could be made wider for easy storage of large bedding accessories e.g. comforter set etc. Have 1-2 small drawers with locksets to keep precious items.
