Arranging your bedroom furniture isn’t always as easy as you might initially think. A bed, wardrobe or bedside table in the wrong place can cause your bedroom to feel cramped or dysfunctional.
Let’s take a look at some top tips to help you work out where to place your bedroom wardrobe.
Door Space
First things first – you need to be able to get into your wardrobe easily. Ensure there’s plenty of space in front of the wardrobe for the doors to swing open, as well as ample room for you to browse your outfits to decide what to wear.
Longest Wall
A good rule of thumb is to place your wardrobe against the room’s longest wall. This is practical as well as aesthetically pleasing. It’s an especially good use of space to place fitted wardrobes in this location. These have the added benefit of matching your decor perfectly with the use of custom wardrobe doors.
Alcoves
Alcoves or recesses can be another great space to put wardrobes. Custom wardrobe doors ensure that wardrobes can be built to all sorts of sizes and shapes to best fit any otherwise unusable areas.
Walkways
Bedrooms are often multi-use spaces: not only are they used for sleeping, but they are also usually the place where we dress and get ready for the day. All of this can result in a busy space. Make sure your wardrobes don’t block walkways, and their position allows more than one person to pass by at once.
