How do you share your wardrobe space?
Comments (7)We recently solved a wardrobe shortage problem for a couple by converting half of their roofspace into a walk-in wardrobe & dressing room accessed from stairs located where their old sliderobes used to be. It's a fantastic space giving loads of space (including a very large shoe collection!) and each had one full side of the room for their own use when we last saw it - I suspect the wife will soon have a much larger share though! There is also a dressing table with professional lighting around the mirror for make-up. The stairs make a great feature in the bedroom and the fact that the dressing room can't be seen from the bedroom removes the urgency for daily tidying!...See MoreHands up if you'd like a walk-in wardrobe!
Comments (19)I've just designed my own walk in wardrobe after doing them for clients for years. I'm going for the "Carrie from Sex and the City" layout, where you walk through the wardrobe to the ensuite. Unfortunately, my wardrobe will not be stuffed full of designer labels though! NB it is also the pre Mr Big wardrobe, yikes, don't ever think I'd have a house big enough for that one!!!...See MoreWhat colour should I paint bedroom fireplace and wardrobes?
Comments (16)Hello Nicola E, How you treat the paint work entirely depends on what you want to stand out.. The fireplace or the wardrobes.. This too depends on what else is happening in the room... If just a bed then it's entirely possible to create a feature of said wardrobes by painting them a bolder colour or the chimney breast a darker colour.. Look at the room and consider what you'd like to have as a focal point and how big the room is.. Shades of cream and off whites are far nicer than white.. So if you decide to include a white scheme, definitely look at shades of off white and creams.. Little Greene has a lovely range of chalky colours.. such as Whitening, White Lead, Stock etc.. These can be chosen for wood and walls.... They give a warm, chalky and sophisticated look which can blend beautifully with colours such as Celestial blue or James just to talk of blue and these are warm not cold blues .. I also like Juniper Ash which is a slightly mauve colour but look for warm versions of a colour you like.. So if the fireplace is to stand out and the wardrobes are a pale creamy colour the accent and focus is the fireplace which will benefit if the room is smaller than you'd like.. If you have a large bed then this might be the best way to consider it. If the room is large and you want something to create a statement then consider the fireplace and wardrobes.. A shade or two darker for wardrobes than chimney breast will create a frame surrounding both the fireplace and for the bed if this is facing on the opposite wall.. Blend the bedding and cushions, should you choose them into the scheme to create a cohesive and stylish finish. Lastly if you want a pale room with painted wardrobes these will form a statement and frame if you have less in the room... : )) Blended.... Contrast... This one isn't a bedroom but you get the idea.....See MoreHow many wardrobes do your clothes occupy?
Comments (10)Hello Isidora – I see your post was a while ago but I would like to offer a few thoughts about this important issue. As you suggest storage needs to be thought about and planned for - I see others have made some interesting contributions. I see support for open clothes rails, built in and other thought provoking arrangements. My friend found a usefull resource that describes how to solve this problem at low cost – plus an extra consideration that needs thinking about. There is a new book: www.KeithJamesClarke.com that describes in a Case Study (CS 6) how to create a perfect Walk-in Wardrobe at very low cost. Have a look at the website. And whats the extra consideration? It has been designed to allow natural light into the space... moths don't like light – so no big surprises with holes in your most cherished clothes! All the best to you... BBSB_2...See More50 Degrees North Architects
