Walk In wardrobe design

9 years ago

We have space in our master bedroom to install a walk in wardrobe. The space is approximately 10ft x 6ft. Does anyone have any tips on how to divide up the interior storage? Will I have enough space to have a walkway in the centre? Would you install a small radiator inside or on the outer wall and any suggestions for lighting.

My walk-in is slightly longer (1.60x3.60m) - I only have the design with measurements on paper, but I could look for it this evening, scan it and post it for you if you want.

In the meanwhile, have a look at the photos of the finished room. We took advantage of the height and got pull down rails; also, a big shelf above the door and narrow shelves on the side. I wouldn't get a radiator in there, or at least not a classic one - have a look at some towel warmers - their output is normally good enough for a room that size, plus you can use it to hang stuff on it: http://www.nevellidesignerradiators.co.uk/Elvina-Designer-Chrome-Towel-Radiator---Reina/232.htm

Lighting, I think the best are directional track lights, e.g: http://www.wayfair.co.uk/Track-Lighting-C1802193.html?itemsperpage=96&sortby=6&curpage=1

Otherwise, just search 'compact walk-ins' in Houzz phots. Hope this helps.

Thanks Luciana that's really helpful. Would have liked rails/ shelves on both sides but I think the depth would be too narrow. The plan would be great.

Wow lots of windows. That is good and I love the bay window in the room. Floor looks beautiful as well. Is there a solid wall that the bed can go on, like on the wall to the left of the picture? Also I would staple backout to the window with the roman shade and then place a highboy, armoire or large peice of furniture in front that would cover the whole window and no one from the inside will know. You do put a roller blind inside the window pulled down so no one from the outside will know either. This will give you storage and make the room more functional. I would then place a desk in the bay for a great place to sit and write or a comfortable chair with table and lamps to read. Please post pictures of all sides of the room as that would be helpful with suggestions.

Because it would make searching a lot easier. http://www.houzz.com/%2Bpink-%2Bblack-%2Bgold-%2Bcloset- And powder pink or magenta? Black walls or black funiture? Be more specific. (just had to add this photo, don't know why, lol)

The color will be fine, but put up samples of the sheen to make sure you're really on board. Among other things, the more sheen, the more obvious any flaws.

The humidity in Singapore is always a concern with wardrobes and storage in general. The exhaust fan will help up to an extent. Its going to a trial and error experiment for you as there are other factors that need to be included here as well..... Eg is there a window for cross ventilation close by. Is there an air con in the bedroom concerned. Will it be switched on all the time or periodically. You might be lucky and control the humidity with a number of factors. Do share and let us know your experience so we can all learn from you. There is however a dehumidifying rod that is available in the market and used in high end homes in Singapore. It helps up to an extent as well. Its a question of best dealing with the natural humidity as well as the moistness from the shower.

Sorry, I just got back, so I'll have to postpone looking for those papers for tomorrow. Also, I'll have a look at the plans for the walk-in in our loft; it has units on both sides, so your 1.8m could be ok (sorry, I don't do inches and feet).

My advice is to have a chat with someone from Sharp or Sigma 3, or even Homebase - they have their planners who can tell you what would be the best layout for the room. Even if you don't buy from them, I think first appointment is free or you can pay them only for the plan.

Hi again,

I've been through all the places where these plans could be and just can't find them. I found the ones for the loft, but not the ones for the main bedroom.

In case the drawings aren't too clear, I'll explain it to you: the loft room is 2m wide, there's about 90cm in between the units; each unit is 53cm wide. From what I remember, the planner who came to talk to us said that the minimum distance between units should be 80cm. For the rails, as a hanger is about 40cm long, the distance between the wall and the rail should be no less than 24cm, making a unit about 48cm wide.

I hope this makes sense. I measured the space in between the units and shoe shelves in the main walk-in, it's 90cm.

Again, hope this helps - good luck!
