Wardrobes

Designing a wardrobe involves several key decisions, from the style of doors to the internal layout, shelving, drawers, and special compartments. At Arthouse Interiors, we create everything from simple wardrobes to fully bespoke robes with custom detailing.

Key Considerations for Wardrobe Doors

• Hinged vs sliding doors: Consider how each option impacts room circulation and furniture placement.

• Space requirements: Hinged doors need room to swing open; sliding doors require additional depth for tracks (usually 2–3 tracks per door).

• Door detailing: Design features can vary between hinged and sliding doors; consider how handles and patterns integrate.

• Handles: Only some handle types are compatible with sliding doors.

• Internal clearance: Ensure drawers and compartments can open fully with your chosen door type.

• Mirror placement: Mirrors can be integrated into sliding doors or the inside of hinged doors, provided weight and safety are considered.

• Extra hanging options: For hinged doors, lightweight items, including mirrors, can be mounted on the inside face.

Tips for Functional Wardrobe Design:

• Measure carefully to ensure circulation and access around the wardrobe.

• Plan internal layouts according to clothing types: tall hanging, short hanging, drawers, and shelves.

• Integrate mirrors thoughtfully to enhance both function and room aesthetics.

• Choose door styles and handles that complement the room while maintaining usability.
