Wardrobe Planning Tips
- Double short hanging (with one hanging rail fixed above another) in a wardrobe is useful for hanging shorter items because it makes the best possible use of the space available
- Short hanging or shelving above drawers is also worth considering as is short hanging below shelves
- Shaped end wardrobes can “soften” the appearance of a run of wardrobes, for example next to a room entrance or in a window area
- Reduced depth wardrobes generally do not allow clothes to hang from left to right. However a pull-out “trombone rail” can be specified to allow for items to hang from back to front
- Wardrobes with a pair of left and right-hand folding-doors allow you to see the contents of both wardrobes at the same time
- Mirrors on the central doors of a pair of left and right folding-door wardrobes allow when open for a front and back view of the clothes being modelled
- A pull out hanging rail fitted between two wardrobes allows for the temporary hanging of items ready for the following day or whilst mixing and matching an outfit
- Lighting used on wardrobe cornices can help to brighten dark areas in a room and provide theme mood lighting
- Internal lighting can be specified if the general lighting level is low
- Wardrobes are most effectively used for hanging clothes. If drawers are required it may be practical to position drawer units elsewhere in the room
