If there’s one thing in your bedroom that can change the aesthetic and theme of the room, it’s your wardrobe. Whether you love a minimalistic space-saving wardrobe or you want to go big, a well designed modern wardrobe can double space utilisation while giving your home a contemporary look. With an array of materials to choose from, it’s rather confusing to decide the type of wardrobe, which would be ideal for your room. Several integral factors like the theme of the room, wall length and height and storage space required makes this decision a personal one. Follow the guide to make your choice.

TYPES

Custom-built: A custom-built wardrobe will improve the functionality of your bedroom. If you have high ceilings, you can make the most of all that extra space by using high cabinetry and pull-down wardrobe rails to make clothes easier to reach.

Sliding Door Wardrobe: A modern take on the traditional almirahs, sliding doors are an ideal choice. With the advantage of choosing the opening width, the customisable options are many. These are space saving as they don’t require any space for a hinged door opening, making it ideal for a bedroom.

Hinge Door Wardrobe: These are the traditional almirahs, now in a variety of colours, textures and finishes. They have become versatile in their appearances and application.
