With so many shoes, ties, clothes, trinkets and bags to stash, wardrobes or cupboards are not only essential and probably one of the most used furniture items at home. If you decide to design or revamp your closet, consider wardrobe designs that optimise space and ensure ease of use to expedites your routine, not hinder it. The first step to an organised closet is a clean out, then assess the inventory of the items and go from there to evaluate and consider the full range of options: fitted or free-standing, built-in or walk-in wardrobe. Start by looking through eclectic wardrobe designs and images.

How do I plan my eclectic wardrobe design?

Depending on the style of your bedroom and your storage needs, you can pick from a variety of eclectic cupboard designs. Most Indian homes opt for wall-mounted closets as they are great space savers and offer a sleek and uniform appearance to the room.You can add custom wardrobe organiser elements like hooks, bins, drawer partitions or dividers. Baskets and bins are great for storing things like belts and scarves, while shelf dividers keep sweaters, jeans, and shirts in line. Another option to explore is the built-in wardrobe or modular storage styles. With built-ins, you have the advantage of fitting it out internally (think drawer partitions, shoe racks, storage boxes, vacuum storage bags, tie racks etc.) while appearing totally discreet on the outside.Lastly, you can consider the age-old use almirahs and armories which are nothing but a variety of free standing wardrobes that you can slot into any space. They are designed for additional storage space in the room, these will be the go-to cupboard if you are trying to achieve the traditional Indian style home. If you are looking for more spacious and luxurious wardrobe designs, consider a walk-in wardrobe.

What kind of wardrobe extras and accessories should I add?

There are few must have add-ons irrespective of the eclectic wardrobe design you have selected. Your closet should instantly brighten your mood as you dress for the day (or the night). Liven up the cupboard with enough light to help you find and match shades of different outfits. Floor-length mirrors or mirrored cabinets are crucial in closets — after all, you want to be able to evaluate your outfit. Also, if you have the luxury of a walk-in closet, add a small sitting area with either a window seat, ottoman or lounge chair; this can work as a great getaway from everyday life and can also come in handy when putting on those pesky high heels or boots.For additional storage squeeze in another dresser or install an island with drawers, scarf hangers, belt hangers or lingerie hangers to stay organised.
