7 years agoTurn closet into a floor to ceiling built-in, eliminating the recess at each end of a closet. Much more efficient. Eliminates need for dresser or chest of drawers, saving floor space.

Need help with ideas for ensuite / walk in closet
Comments (15)Oh wow, impressive space you have there! It's huge! And thank you - I love my house too :)) Plus I agree with you on the dining room - only good for dusting :)) Regarding wood vs carpet: we chose Engineered Character Oak in brushed oil - mainly because, having to completely renovate the house, we decided to go for underfloor heating top to bottom; and engineered wood is apparently the best type of wood to use with it. Therefore, carpeting was out for us however, even with central heating, we would've probably gone for wooden flooring and a lush rug. But that is a personal preference; as with the en-suites, I have rather strong opinions against carpet, so I don't think I'm the best person to advise you in this respect. (hmmm, now I'm starting to get what hubby means about me being high maintenance...) Sorry I couldn't help more, I'll try to do better in the future :))...See MoreUnder stairs storage ideas
Comments (3)Hello, It depends what is your budget! Do you need DIY ideas in how to store your stuff? The one I have in my house (will be the first image) it can be a bit inefficient but I try to store everything in a box so it won't get messy. Alternatively you can think of built in shelving system. We also carry out similar projects to our clients time to time, you can see in our Portfolio. http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/614974/under-stairs-storage-solution There are a lot of way in designing the right storage but have a thought firs, which idea is the most convenient for you.

Comments (2)Hi Usually, if the room is very small, I would leave the doors off altogether (if you have doors into the walk-in wardrobe). With such a small space, hinged doors are not really practical and they will drive you insane. Personally, if I wanted to add doors, I would add something like sliding smoked glass. But I think the best option is still to have the door into the room, especially if space is tight. I hope that gave you an idea that you hadn't thought of yet! Have a great day. Jo A photo of the type of doors I would use (but these are showing it into the entry, I would use them tight to the wardrobe). And a photo without doors........See MoreSmall bathroom refurb help with storage please!
Comments (11)Removing the cupboard sounds like a great idea! It will definitely open up the space and provide an opportunity for extra storage. To maximize the storage opt for a double floorstanding vanity unit. There are plenty out there, but if you like a more clean, contemporary style, this white “his and hers” one on the link below seems to be a hit with our customers. https://www.designangels.co.uk/product-page/floor-standing-double-basin-vanity-unit Good luck with your renovation!...See More

Then a budget will be important as well in the type of units used. Pinterest has all kinds of ideas, including a $50 DIY kit that is referenced. Ask you daughter if she prefers drapery or doors and if doors. It's also cute to wallpaper the back of the closet.

7 years agoFor small closets like that, despite their size, there are still quite a few options. Also due to the size, adding in an organizer is not going to break the bank. Often in a smaller closet, especially in a child's room, we suggest a wall mounted closet system with a combination of multi length hang, and shelving. You can also incorporate drawers or baskets.
Make sure whatever you select format wise is adjustable. All of the closet organizers we make are adjustable, meaning you can move your rods and shelves up and down, depending on your needs, but whatever avenue you select to go with your closet, from a company to home depot to DIY, make you that you select a closet that is adjustable. This is crucial in a child's room to maximize space and use. When they are small you generally need shorter hanging sections and want them to be closer to the ground so that they can independently reach items in their closet. As they get older and their clothes get bigger, you're going to want the ability to convert some of the shorter hanging sections into longer hanging sections, and adjustable closet gives you this ability so that you don't have to reinstall a closet organizer down the road when the room is now for a teen, adult or a guestroom.
As for curtains vs closet doors, both options are good. With a great organizer, you in fact don't even have to have a closet door at all. The benefits of a closet door are that you keep the area more closed off and protected from light, changing temperatures, and such, but for most regular use closets, a door is not an absolute necessity. So if you like the look and ease of curtains, that is a great option for this room.
This is an example of a kids closet, as you can see it has shorter hanging sections as their clothing is smaller, it is also situated closer to the ground for easy reaching.
Below are a couple of examples of simple versatile reach in closets that incorporate drawers, hanging, and shelving. Everything except the drawers are adjustable so they works for rooms of all types.
I also see in your photo that there is a mirror in your daughters closet, a mirror is a great closet option, but they can take up a lot of room, I would suggest a pop out mirror, it is pictured in the center of this photo, you can see just the edge of it. It takes up much less space but still gives you the option of a mirror.
This is an example of a very budget friendly option. Simple shelving and hanging is going to get you the most bang for your buck, although it lacks the frills of things like pop out mirrors, cabinets and drawers, it is still adjustable and gives you lots of storage space.

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoBelow is a tutorial about updating for under $50 - if you are handy. I have a cheval mirror that we received as a wedding gift, so I completely understand..can't get rid of even though it takes up a lot of space (ours is larger). Would you be open to removing it from the stand and painting it white and placing on a wall (if there is room). If you didn't want to paint, you could place on the wall in the cupboard and below it add a small drawer or shoe unit underneath. Opaque curtains won't hide the contents..maybe use a cotton with a small design that compliments the focal wall color. You may want to place the rod within the frame - there are rods that are expandable with rubber tips that don't need brackets, etc. - it's a much nicer look. http://designbuildlove.co/50-handmade-closet-kit-tutorial-day-4-30-days-to-an-organized-home/
