How much space is needed for a walk in wardrobe?

8 years ago

Hi, we are flirting with the idea of a walk in wardrobe, the area we would have available is 1.6m x 4.6m is this too small to be nice? What do you all think? Thanks

If you allocate 0.6m x 4.6m to wardrobe space, that would leave you with 1m x 4.6m walk in and walk-thru space. If you use sliding doors for the wardrobe space, I think it could be feasible.

depending on how you enter you can be a bit clever with different types of storage both sides... ie shallow shoe/bag shelves opposite hanging space - putting things slightly wider at the top but still allowing walk space etc can work if you really need to squeeze the best out of every inch ! Best to measure up how much short hanging space/ folded space/ long hanging space/ shoes/ bags/ etc etc you need by measuring what you have - then draw it all up to see how to make it work for you ... you can do it yourself or ask someone to help who does this sort of thing all the time (like me!)

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!!!

Hello Leesh, It sounds like you rather like the idea of an en-suite and so I would perhaps suggest you go with it, rather than do one thing and then re-do it later. You mention the house has one single loo.. So would this mean presumably that you would also then situate a loo downstairs? If so perhaps you might consider turning the loo into a small wet room style shower room.. A wall hung loo and small sink would give you enough room for a small shower room fully tanked of course as they are lovely. If there is a bathroom with bath for example elsewhere on the upper levels then it could be one way of dealing with this smaller space.. Alternatively you may prefer to have a walk in closet.. Mind you.. If the bedroom is large enough you may be able to incorporate a walk in closet in the room itself.. I'm elaborating on your initial dilemma, but it may help you to decide just what you need and where exactly.. : ))

often there is a legacy effect of a structure like a conservatory and people tend to build out in the same place- It would be good to know how much room is at the side because you could knock the kitchen and utility together then build a new utility on the side. If you could post the whole house plan and a picture of the back I am sure that people will have ideas. As far as photo inspiration goes there are literally thousands of images on this site. Look at the photos and save the ones you like.

Hi; without being rude I don’t think you have the space for both. Walk in wardrobes take up a lot more space than people realise. We have a similar layout & have 10m for it to work efficiently. I think it’s better to have a full wall of wardrobes & a luxurious bathroom. At the end to the day, a walk in only hangs your clothes! You only spend a minute in there. I wouldn’t put clothes in a bathroom - there’s steam & poop smells, and it just seems odd. You could even fit a bath in that en-suite for a hotel feel!

If you fit it in an L shape you will have 5 metres of hanging space- it sounds like plenty.
