Walk in Wardrobe - how to layout?

8 years ago

Ive recently just had a walk in wardrobe space fitted into the loft space of my flat but Im not sure how to layout to ensure I make the most efficient use of the space possible

Im sorry if the attached photos dont give an accurate potrayal of the space (Ive tried to use a paint can to give an idea of size)

Any advice on how to layout would be much appreciated - the wardrobe is roughly 2.7m wide with a door in the middle

any advice would be much appreciated

The design would probably hinge on how low the slope is. If for example shirts and trousers can hang below the slope on the back wall this can be a great hanging space. If not chest of drawers and low cupboards with shelves could work. Then in the taller end walls you could have angled wardrobes to take the hanging space

There is enough space along the bottom to allow clothes to hang along with lower part without touching the floor - are there any products that I could install myself that you would perhaps recommend?

How To Create The Ultimate Walk In Wardrobe

There is a lot to think about when building a walk in wardrobe. Which of these is most important to you? OPEN UP If you have the luxury of housing your walk in wardrobe, then it’s worth thinking about keeping it open to maximise the area. Having doors on a wardrobe requires more space to open them. Especially if you have two wardrobes opposite each other. Use drawers and selective door panelling to create a semi open and closed configuration. This provides concealed areas to store objects and reduce clutter. Leaving your more selective items for open display. LAY IT OUT Form and function are paramount when considering your space. The way you interact with your walk in wardrobe will depend on how you use the space. Do you want to get dressed in the space? Are you sharing the space – think his and hers. How do you want to hang and access your clothes and accessories? Think pull out sections, do you have lots of dresses or suits or do you have a large bag or shoe collection? MATERIAL AND LIGHT When it comes to walk in wardrobes. Creative lighting and selecting the right materials can create a stunning ambience. It can help change the mood in the room. Consider pushing the light into the darker pockets of the area. This combined with mirrors can produce a beautiful dramatic effect. As well as creating the illusion of space.

Loads of great ideas coming up here! Fab space to work with.. which I am sure doesn't make it easier :) For not having natural light in the bathroom.. it really depends when you use it and personal preference. I have had one without a window and found I didn't really notice as I only use it early in the morning and then in the evening (late) which was actually nice because I didn't need to think about window dressings or having a big black hole there whilst I relaxed in the bath or shower. Having said that, my mum would hate not having a window as she loves lots of natural light and is at home most of the day time so would never go for it! :) Have you considered having a concept planner look at your space in a layout package? With so many options it's nice to have it created in 3D model and really get a sense of how the space will feel with each layout.. I find it helps my clients make decisions on important spaces like this. It also means the space is thought about it bespoke to you and your requirements and needs as an in depth brief is taken before they begin. I hope it helps and I look forward to hearing as things progress. Best of luck.

It really comes down to how many clothes you have and how much space you need to store them, along with where you prefer to get dressed and how you use your ensuite - obviously no point having double sink if you never share the bathroom, but if you're brushing your teeth while the other half is doing their thing in the next sink then this bigger ensuite might work better for you. It all depends on how you want to live, how much stuff you have and where you want to store it. I've created a checklist that helps with a lot of the foundational decision making that you need to make when you're planning a redesign project, so you might find this useful. You can get it plus a few guidance emails here: https://bit.ly/2P1quQ6 Hope this helps, Jane, i-architect.co.uk

Enough space for a walk in wardrobe?
Q

I think there would be enough room, you'd have a 1.7/1m space to stand in, but I think if you're going down that route you should turn the ensuit and wardrobe 90 degrees like this: As you currently have it the ensuit has to accessed from the side of the bed which is not ideal, while the walk in wardrobe is stuck down a corridor with no natural light, and given the size it really will be to small to dress in so any cloths will have to be picked out and taken through back into the bedroom. If you move it like this the window doesn't move (I assume your moving the window from the blue location?) the wardrobe is slightly larger and opens into the bedroom rather then the corridor so the flow is easier.

I don't think there will be any off the shelf parts for under slopes to be honest. But it would be a case of cutting panels to the shape of the slope as division pieces, and then securing with batons between each and cutting down hanging rails to fit

Hi there, to use the space efficiently a great option would be bespoke furniture so that you can create something that is unique to your needs and is using every nook and cranny so you don't waste space. Get in contact with me, Franchesca, if you need any design ideas with the bespoke furniture route and I would be more than happy to help.
