Every bedroom needs some sort of storage for clothes and belongings, but not every bedroom is spacious, resulting in limited space for storage. However, this does not mean you can’t have the most practical and functional storage solution for the space available. Today we discuss small wardrobe design tips from the professionals of wardrobe design.
Made to measure
When you have a small space, every inch of useful storage space is precious; for this reason, it is crucial to design your wardrobe to the exact dimensions of the space available. Fineline tailors every job to the client’s space and needs. Many small bedrooms have unique characteristics and can often be oddly shaped too. No matter the obstacles, we will design a built-in storage solution that fits exactly into the space required. We can even accommodate alcoves and slanted ceilings.
The right balance of storage needs
Have you ever had a wardrobe that didn’t have any hanging space? Or not enough drawers or shelves. Getting the perfect mix of the right amount of hanging space, shelves and drawers is essential, especially with a small wardrobe design.
A salesman from Fineline Solutions will be able to look at the clothes and shoes you have and design a wardrobe with the perfect balance of storage for your needs.
Shoes
One of the most challenging aspects of designing a small wardrobe is ensuring there is enough space for shoe storage. Thankfully, Fineline has a few solutions.
Fineline’s pull-out shoe drawers feature a central crossbar that enables the stacking of two pairs of shoes, thereby maximising available space.
Slanted shoe shelves display shoes beautifully and can be worked into the design of a small wardrobe.
Pigeonholes
Pigeonholes consist of cubicles stacked on top of each other, requiring minimal space. These cubicles serve as excellent shelves for perfectly arranged piles of folded T-shirts and sweaters. You can also use them to store handbags, ankle boots, and various accessories. By incorporating storage baskets, you can organise belts, socks, and scarves, effectively creating additional drawer space.
Functional corner designs
Often in small bedrooms, a wardrobe may have to follow an L-shaped design, making use of a corner. Corner storage, if not designed properly, can result in lost or dead storage space. However, if designed well, a corner in a wardrobe can be maximised to create extra storage.
At Fineline we love a corner design in a wardrobe. Here we like to incorporate large shelves. These shelves can hold multiple piles of clothing, and they are also very handy for storing odd-shaped items such as bags and hats.
A corner is also a perfect place to incorporate some drawers. Fineline Solutions exclusively uses sliding wardrobe doors for all of our wardrobes. With sliding wardrobe doors, the entire corner section of a wardrobe can be exposed when the sliding doors are open, resulting in a functional storage area.
Handy above-wardrobe storage
For a small bedroom, it is important to maximise vertical storage space. Fineline Solutions design their wardrobes from floor to ceiling and always include practical storage space above the wardrobe. This extra storage space is essential in a small wardrobe design. Even though this space is impractical for everyday use, it is very handy to store away out-of-season clothes. When you have a small wardrobe space, it is essential to pack away out-of-season clothes to ensure you have the maximum space you need for your in-season clothes and to ensure your wardrobe doesn’t become overly full and a cluttered mess.
Sliding wardrobe doors maximise floor space
In a small bedroom, not only is every inch of storage space precious, but so is every inch of floor space. Sliding wardrobe doors are the best solution, as they slide horizontally across the wardrobe and do not take up any floor space when opened. This means your wardrobe doors won’t bump into other furniture and will keep walkways clear.
At Fineline Wardrobe Solutions, our sliding wardrobe doors can be finished in a range of different materials, such as mirror, glass, solid colours or wood grain melamine, or even a combination of materials. Although small, your bedroom can still be stylish and elegant.
Mirror sliding doors are a wonderful option for small bedrooms, as they reflect natural light and space, making a small room look brighter and larger.
An open modular system
Another storage system that works very well in a small space is Fineline’s Infinity system. This system consists of aluminium stanchions fixed to the floor and walls. Drawer boxes, shelves, and hanging rails are then connected to these stanchions. This system is meant to be open with no wardrobe doors. It is modern, functional, maximises space, and serves as a fantastic option for a small wardrobe design.
In Conclusion
It isn’t about how much space you have; it is about how cleverly you use it. With the help of us at Fineline Solutions, we can create the most effective and functional storage for any room, no matter how big or small. Contact Fineline Wardrobe Solutions today and let us help you.
