Danenberg Design

This cherry wood closet was designed to function as an in-home 'boutique' where the homeowner can select clothing and accessories and prepare for an evening out. The lighting is on dimmer switches and turns on automatically when one enters the space. Cherry wood and frosted glass sliding doors don't project out to interrupt the traffic flow in the space. The mood is serene and invites one into the space to enjoy the event of selecting the right attire for the event!

8 Contemporary Storage and Wardrobe Design Photos

An overstuffed, haphazard wardrobe or cabinet is the stuff of nightmares. How do you fish out your favourite top when it’s buried beneath a gazillion other items? Smart storage solutions, whether they’re in the form of a contemporary walk-in wardrobe, cabinet, cupboard or closet, are highly-sought after features in any contemporary home. They allow you to organise your space, so you can feel more calm and in control of your household. And while a walk-in wardrobe may not be feasible in every home, there are plenty of other storage options that can help you make the most of your space. Browse the photos on Houzz for a wide variety of contemporary storage and contemporary wardrobe solutions, from wall units and shelving, to room dividers that double as storage; as well as more lavish options such as walk-in wardrobes boasting spinning shoe racks and display cases with lighting.

How many cabinets should a built-in wardrobe have?

The size of your contemporary built-in wardrobe should be largely dependant on how much hanging space you actually need. Just because you have a blank wall, for example, doesn’t mean it has to be filled with a large wardrobe. Position shelves above hanging space to be more ergonomic, and only add drawers if you plan on having an open wardrobe as this will add to the overall price. A dresser or chest of drawers is a better option for fold-away clothes, so long as you have the room. Shoe collections can also take up ample room in a built-in wardrobe, so consider a purpose-built cabinet or shoe rack instead.

How do I organise my contemporary wardrobe or cupboard?

With so many shoes, ties, clothes and bags to stash, wardrobe organisation is key. Use hooks, storage baskets, drawer partitions or dividers to keep your belongings in order. Storage baskets or plastic containers are great for storing things like belts and scarves, while shelf dividers can keep knits, jeans and shirts neatly packed away. Take pride in your shoe collection? Create a shoe storage display using a few strips of moulding mounted to the wall so you can hook your shoes. Similarly, an open robe can make your clothing a feature.

What extras can I include in my wardrobe design?

If you want a luxurious wardrobe, consider including a small sitting area with a window seat, storage ottoman, or lounge chair. You could also add a makeup vanity, complete with a jewellery box and makeup drawer. A viewing area with full-length mirrors will also make getting ready a breeze. Wardrobe lighting will bring the space to life – use display lighting to showcase your clothing, task lighting for functionality and mood lighting to set the scene.
