Are walk-in wardrobes worth it?
Here are some factors to consider when deciding if a walk-in wardrobe is worth the investment:
- Storage needs: Take inventory of your clothing, shoes, and accessories to determine your storage space. If you have a lot of clothing and accessories to store, a walk-in wardrobe can provide ample space to organise and display your items. It also allows you to easily access and find what you need, saving time and reducing stress.
- Customisation options: With a walk-in robe, you can customise the space to meet your specific storage needs and personal style preferences. You can choose the layout, shelving, and hanging space that works best for your clothing and accessories, which can make your daily routine more efficient.
- Home value: A walk-in closet can add value to your home. If you plan to sell your home in the future, a walk-in wardrobe may help attract potential buyers and increase your home's resale value.
- Clothing care: A walk-in wardrobe keeps your clothing in good condition for longer. With ample space to store your items, you can avoid cramming clothing into drawers or hanging them too tightly, which can cause wrinkles and damage over time.
- Cost: Walk-in wardrobes can be expensive to install, especially if you opt for high-end materials and custom features. It's important to consider your budget and weigh the cost against the benefits of having a walk-in wardrobe.

How do you layout a walk-in wardrobe?
Walk-in wardrobe design involves careful planning and considering your storage needs and available space. Here are some general steps to follow when laying out a walk-in closet:
- Assess your storage needs: Determine what items you need to store in your closet and how much space each item requires. This will help you determine the types of storage solutions you need, such as hanging rods, shelves, drawers, and organisers.
- Measure the space: Measure the closet space's length, width, and height to determine how much room you have to work with. Make a note of any obstacles, such as windows, doors, or built-in features.
- Plan the layout: Sketch a rough layout of your closet, including where you want to place each storage solution. Consider the flow of the space and how you will access each item in the closet.
- Choose your storage solutions: Based on your storage needs and the space available, choose the types of storage solutions you want to include in your closet. This may include hanging rods, shelves, drawers, shoe racks, and accessory organisers.
- Consider lighting: Lighting is an important factor in a walk-in closet, as it helps you see your items clearly and makes the space feel more inviting. Consider installing overhead lighting, task lighting, or a combination of both.
- Customise the space: Once you have a general layout and storage solutions in mind, customize the space to fit your needs. This may include adding extra shelving or drawers, choosing a specific colour scheme or design style, or incorporating personal touches like a seating area or full-length mirror.
Should I put a door in my walk-in closet?
The decision to put a door in your walk-in wardrobe comes down to personal preference and practicality. Consider the layout of your space and your own needs and preferences to determine whether a door is right for you.
If your walk-in wardrobe is in a separate room or has a wide entrance, you may want to consider installing a door to create a more private and secluded space. A door can also help to keep dust and other debris out of your clothes and accessories.
However, if your walk-in wardrobe is part of your bedroom or has a narrow entrance, a door may not be practical and could take up valuable space. In this case, you may want to consider using a room divider or curtain to separate your walk-in wardrobe from the rest of your room.
