8 Dreamy Walk-in Wardrobes for All Types of Spaces
These fabulous walk-in wardrobes feature a variety of different options in design and placement
Walk-in wardrobes have long been synonymous with luxury and space, but fortunately nowadays that isn’t quite a fact. Whether you have a a whole room to turn into a closet or a space as small as 6 x 4 feet (which is just a tad bigger than a regular-sized armoire), it is possible to have the walk-in wardrobe of your dreams. Here, we have compiled a few designs which you could pick from, to match your home and lifestyle.
2. A closet that makes use of awkward spaces
The most awkward nooks and crannies can be put to good use – one of them being a walk-in closet. Here, the designer has built walls that double as storage under the sloping roof, thus using the lowest parts of an attic space. Clever layout design allowed for the construction of a 5-metre-long walk-in wardrobe with shelving. The use of a mirror at the far end emphasises the sleek design, plus gives an illusion of expanse – while, of course, helping the owner get dressed in the morning.

3. ‘Ensuite’ style
Often, a walk-in wardrobe is placed between the bathroom and the bedroom. The location is convenient and practical – you can literally step out of the shower and into your clothes. However, when considering this type of arrangement, make sure the bathroom can be shut off by a door to avoid problem of damp getting into your wardrobe. Bathrooms should also be fitted with an extractor fan that can help to reduce humidity and pollutants that can affect your wardrobe contents.
Tip: Install a sliding door that would take up less space than a swing door fixed on hinges.

4. A wardrobe carved out of the bedroom
If you have a reasonably large bedroom or even a medium-sized one, consider dividing it with a stud wall (an interior wall consisting of a frame of upright timbers to which laths and plasterboard are attached). You have the choice of either closing it off with a sliding door or leaving the entrance open to create a seamless transition between bedroom and wardrobe.

Picking up the threads from the previous idea, you could section off the walk-in wardrobe using sliding doors for division and to keep dust away. This is a great idea when the bedroom is large enough to cordon off an area. Bonus points for making the doors mirrored, as they serve a dual purpose. Not only are they useful for obvious practical reasons, but mirrored surfaces also create the optical illusion of even more space by reflecting light.

5. A minimalist one
This closet has an understated simplicity, thanks to the doors that keep clothing hidden away – ideal for a messy person like me, and also, rather contrarily, for a die-hard neatnik. In this luxurious walk-in space, the homeowners have kept the look sparse by using sliding doors to conceal the wardrobe contents – except for the shoe display at the far end, which they’ve turned into a feature.

6. One for the ladies
This wardrobe is a lovely escape to retreat to and feel pampered in. Single ladies, take note: if you have an extra room, this is what can be done with it.
Include customised shelving for shoes, shallow drawers for jewellery and fashion accessories, and a hanging space for long dresses, depending on the available space. The addition of a vanity table fit for a star and a sparkly chandelier complete the sense of luxury.

7. A compact wardrobe that doubles up as a storage space
The dark cabinetry in this wardrobe is contrasted by the open display of coloured clothes, making it easier to find what you want to wear. Despite being small, the owner has managed to incorporate hanging space as well as enough shelving, not only for clothes but also for his collection of books. The light-weight ladder is a great idea, making it easy to access the upper reaches of the wardrobe.

While I leave you to reflect on the various options, I think this is what heaven must look like. This wardrobe has some of the best walk-in closet elements – contemporary design, plenty of storage, lots of mirrors, great lighting, a dresser … and a comfortable sofa to lie upon when I am tired out from trying on my imaginary Carrie Bradshaw-like wardrobe.
