Evaluate Available Space

To begin, evaluate the available space in your home for your clothes. Discover any underutilised locations or extra rooms that may be transformed into a wardrobe or dressing room. The walk-in closet design doesn't necessarily need to be big but fits nicely into the space available. Don't miss out on corridors and the corners of your bedroom, they may be the best location for you to incorporate a walk-in closet.

Optimise Vertical Storage

To maximise closet storage capacity, install floor-to-ceiling shelves and hanging rods on two adjacent walls. The shelves will accommodate folded clothing items, such as sweaters, jeans, and t-shirts. The hanging rods will be used for jackets, dresses, and shirts. By utilising the vertical space, you ensure every inch of the closet area counts.


The best way to make your space appear larger is by incorporating glass and mirrors. Transparent wardrobe designs offer a modern and sleek aesthetic, allowing natural light to reflect and permeate the room to enhance the overall ambience.

Glass Sliding Doors

To save space and maintain a streamlined look, you choose to install sliding doors for your walk-in wardrobe. For example, use sliding glass panels or mirrored sliding doors for a closed storage space in your wardrobe. They not only can add a touch of elegance to the entire wardrobe space, but also create an illusion of a larger space.


You may also opt for frosted sliding glass door panels to ensure privacy while allowing natural light to filter through, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. These doors glide effortlessly, revealing the contents of the room and your wardrobe while taking up minimal floor space.

Mirror Illusion

Placing a full-length mirror on one wall not only serves its practical purpose but also enhances the visual spaciousness of the walk-in wardrobe. The mirror reflects light, creating depth and making the area appear larger than it is. It also provides a convenient spot for you to check your outfit and make any necessary adjustments.

Multi-functional Furniture

In the centre of the walk-in wardrobe, position a storage ottoman. This versatile piece of furniture serves multiple purposes. It offers a comfortable seating option for putting on shoes or contemplating outfits. Lift the cushioned top, and you discover hidden storage, perfect for stowing away accessories, extra linens, or seasonal items.

Light Colours and Adequate Lighting

To maintain an open and airy feel, opt for soft lighting and a light colour palette when painting the walls of your walk-in wardrobe. Soft hues like pale grey or pastel shades create a sense of spaciousness and tranquillity. To ensure adequate lighting, install recessed ceiling lights throughout the area, providing even illumination. Over the dressing table and area, place a focused light fixture to provide ample light for getting ready.

Customised Storage Solutions

To optimise the functionality of your walk-in wardrobe, invest in a modular storage system. This system allows you to customise the layout according to your specific needs. Adjustable shelves and drawers offer flexibility, accommodating different clothing items, from folded sweaters to accessories. Incorporate dedicated compartments for belts, jewellery, and ties, ensuring they remain organised and easily accessible.

Utilise Doors and Walls

To make the most of the available closet space, you take advantage of the inside of the walk-in wardrobe door. By mounting hooks, you can create a designated spot for frequently used items such as robes, handbags, or scarves. On one wall, install hanging organisers or magnetic strips, providing storage for smaller items like keys, earrings, or hair accessories.

Utilise Wasted Space

As you explore other areas of your home, if you discover an unused alcove in the hallway near your bedroom, transform it into a dedicated shoe storage or closet area. Install shelves or shoe racks in walking space, you ensure that your footwear is neatly organised and easily accessible. This not only maximises storage space but also adds a stylish element to the overall design.

Keep it Organised

To maintain a clutter-free walk-in wardrobe, you invest in storage boxes or bins to categorise clothes and shoes and store items on the shelves. Using dividers or drawer organisers, you separate different types of clothing items, such as socks or underwear. This helps you keep everything in its rightful place, making it easier to locate specific items and maintain a sense of order.
