Space Wise

To design a walk-in wardrobe you will need a separate room. You could also use the bedroom balcony.

A niche in the wall is also a neat way to contain a wardrobe. But remember the wardrobe should be at least two feet deep.

Do not have the wardrobe directly opposite the bed. It is very imposing. Plus, if you want mirrors on the shutters, it is considered bad luck according to Vaastu.

Who's Wardrobe?

The size of the wardrobe depends on who you are designing it for.

For instance, your five-year-old will have trouble reaching his clothes in a six feet high wardrobe or your husband will need more hanging space for his shirts.

Hung Up

You could have hanger space in the lower or upper half. But the height depends on what you need to store. If you have long coats and pants, take into account the length.

For a tall wardrobe, you could include a pulley mechanism that lowers the hanging rod every time you need to access something.

Hooks on the insides of shutters are great for belts and ties.
