When determining the size of your custom wardrobes, consider the available space in the room and the specific storage needs you have. Measure the dimensions of the wall where the wardrobes will be installed, ensuring that there is enough clearance for doors to open and close comfortably. Additionally, take into account the amount and types of clothing and accessories you own, allowing for sufficient hanging space, shelves, and drawers to accommodate your belongings

10 TIPS FOR DETERMINING HOW BIG MY CUSTOM WARDROBES SHOULD BE
1. TYPE OF IN-BUILT WARDROBE • Hinged wardrobes require space to open the doors and access clothing, making them ideal for large areas. • Sliding door wardrobes, conversely, can make a small room appear larger. • A walk-in custom wardrobe is another option if you have a large bedroom.
2. MAKE USE OF EVERY AVAILABLE SPACE Ask the wardrobe designer and installer to measure the space from floor to ceiling. In this case, even a small room can have a sizeable wall-to-wall custom wardrobe. The top hard-to-reach areas near the ceiling make perfect storage space for seasonal clothes you only require occasionally.
3. PRIORITISE SPACE FOR LONG CLOTHES If you have more dresses or long clothes that require hanging, the priorityshould be open hanging space. You need more vertical space. Therefore, ensure most of the wardrobe can accommodate double hang rails. On average, a woman’s wardrobe should have about 55 centimetres of hanging space.
4. INCLUDE USEFUL DETAILS To get the most out of your bedroom space, consider minimalist designs that are equally practical. For instance, custom wardrobe designs can hide a full-length mirror to slide out of one end of the wardrobe. It is not only a unique design, but it saves space for more clothing storage.
5. DESIGN AROUND YOUR NEEDS The amount and type of clothes you have will also determine the size of your custom wardrobe. The designer will consider how many clothes you will hang on rails, fold away on shelves or store in baskets beneath or above the wardrobe.
6. CONSIDER IF THE SPACE IS SHARED For couples that share wardrobe space, dividers help prevent mixing clothes. Therefore, a large custom wardrobe is necessary to maximise the shared space. Since women tend to occupy more space, especially hanging clothes, the design and size should accommodate everyone’s needs.
7. INSTALL ISLAND PIECES FOR LARGE SPACES For those with unlimited space in the bedroom, installing an island in the middle of the custom wardrobe provides storage for accessories. This is a luxury for those with walk-in wardrobes.
8. CONSIDER SHOE STORAGE When building a custom wardrobe, consider the space required to store away an average of 30 pairs of shoes. Since shoes need a flat surface, the wardrobe must be ample for the best functionality.
9. CONSIDER FUTURE STORAGE NEEDS You can still have a his and hers bathroom with one basin -it just needs to be big enough for both of you to share. There are pros and cons to each: having two individual basins means personal space but less bench space, whereas one large basin means more bench space. Again this choice should be based on how you use your area.
10. MAKE ROOM FOR SEASONAL CLOTHING Seasonal clothing takes up much room in most wardrobes. As a result, when building custom wardrobes, consider the need to store away shoes and clothing you wear occasionally. Install top or bottom shelves to remove baskets with items you require later.
