WALK IN CLOSETS- why we choose it over wardrobes

Walk in closets are becoming a fast paced trend in bedroom designing and organisation. Usually suitable for fairly large bedrooms, a walk-in closet can be used for both aesthetic and functional purposes in a bedroom. Unlike  a wardrobe, a walk in closet doesn’t ‘put it all in your face’. It allows easy sorting, arrangement and decluttering.

 

Boring cupboards of yesteryears have now evolved into walk-in closets with more organised space for storing not only clothes and shoes, but also other items of the house which can be kept away from sight.

Today’s homeowners are opting for organised storage space for clothes and depending on the brand one goes for, one may end up putting more value to walk-in closets or wardrobes than the value of the clothes stored in the closet! Walk-in closets are high priority items for a home buyer because they provide some important benefits at a low cost. Depending on the size of the closet, walk-ins provide substantially more storage room than a wardrobe and, more importantly, allow residents more space to organize clothes, shoes and accessories.

Here are some reasons why walk-in closets or wardrobes are in vogue today:

• Your entire wardrobe and all of your accessories fit nicely into an organized and easily accessible space.
• You can split the closet with your spouse and still have plenty of storage space to spare.
• Lots of shelving and generous floor space allow for storage of holiday decorations and seasonal items.
• A walk-in closet is the most functional and versatile storage space in your home.

 

Bigger walk-in closets may even have small stools and mirror so that they double up as a separate dressing room. Apart from shelves and racks for clothing, the general walk-in closets will have tie racks, belt racks, and shoe racks, drawers and dressers, and space for footwear or suits. Most closets have storage space designed in such a way that clothes can be arranged and stored according to events. Work wears, dinner wears ,sport wears .etc.

 

 

And these walk-in closets come in various colours, materials, and designs to suit one’s taste and budget. For instance there are wardrobe systems available in wood veneers, lacquers and glass with medallion decor panel available in matt lacquered palette colours. Walk-in closets today have internal accessories such as drawer packs, shelves with hanging rails and trouser racks with internal finish in ivory, cherry and dark oak panels.

Walk-in closets have many benefits over standard, more conventional built-in/ closet type wardrobes that we see in the market.

While most homeowners build custom cherry, cedar, oak, or pine closet organizing systems, many closet organizer units are available in inexpensive, do-it-yourself kits. These units are made of plastic coated wire or veneered particle board.

The best part of installing walk-in closets or wardrobes in one’s home is the fact that they give a neat look to a room.
