It can be hard to know where to start when deciding how to design a wardrobe interior. That’s why, at The Sliding Door Wardrobe Company, we give clients the option to let their imagination run free.
Whether you choose cashmere oak, graphite grey fleetwood, walnut or any other material – and whether you opt for bespoke shelving, a vanity mirror, drawers or shoe racks with it – your wardrobe interior should combine functionality and style.
Read on for the best wardrobe interior ideas.
Wardrobe interior ideas
Your wardrobe interior should be a reflection of both your tastes and your needs, which is why you should consider wardrobe interior fitting ideas that will be both useful and beautiful.
All of our wardrobes are custom-fitted and made bespoke to your needs, so begin by considering the most important use of your wardrobe and where it’ll be stored. When it comes to bedroom wardrobes, think about clothes storage, who will need the most space within the wardrobe and the types of items you’ll need to store.
To help dream up wardrobe interior ideas, ask yourself:
- What types of clothes will you be storing?
- Will you be designing a walk-in wardrobe, fitted wardrobe or wall-to-wall wardrobe?
- Will the wardrobe be shared with a spouse?
- Do you need room for both clothes and additional storage space, such as overhead shelving for suitcases, shoe racks or even a hidden desk?
Prioritise your needs and wants in a list of descending importance – this will help you to begin cooking up some wonderful ideas for storage, fittings and designs.
Wardrobe interior storage ideas: clothing and organisation
Your wardrobe interior storage ideas will be informed by the style of clothing items you need to store, the clothing items you have the highest quantity of and the additional space you may need for non-clothing items.
For example, if you have an impressive shoe collection, pull-out shoe rails and shelving for shoe boxes can be installed to accommodate storing, organising and displaying your favourite items.
However, if you have fewer shoes but plenty of belts, ties or shirts, clothing rails, tie racks, belt racks and stackable draws can be fitted instead.
If you’re sharing your wardrobe with a spouse, why not divide the wardrobe in two? This is another brilliant way of making sure both your needs are accommodated in an organised, logical manner that still looks fantastic.
At The Sliding Door Wardrobe Company, we can help you find the perfect storage solution if you identify your needs to our staff.
Never lose a clothing item when getting ready again when you install:
- Clothing rails
- Stackable drawers
- Tie racks
- Jewellery trays
- Shoe racks.
Wardrobe fittings ideas
Clothing minimalists can still benefit from wardrobe fittings that help organise our daily routines.
Many customers choose to forgo extra clothing rails in exchange for higher overhead shelving, allowing for bed linen storage, suitcases and storage for seasonal decorations when not in use.
Similarly, stackable shelves are often used for blanket boxes, shoe boxes and homeware items including diffuser packs and candles, as well as an assortment of bags.
Consider these helpful wardrobe interior fittings ideas:
- Stackable shelves
- Vanity mirrors
- Overhead shelving
- Vanity desks
- Stackable pull-out drawers.
Consider wardrobe doors that complement their interiors
Another way to decide how to design a wardrobe interior is by considering how your external doors will complement the interiors.
After all, the joy of opening your wardrobe doors to reveal its beautifully designed interior will be felt daily, and you don’t want this experience to be spoiled by a design that isn’t cohesive.
Our sliding and mirrored doors come in an abundance of material styles, designs, and colours, and they are available in up to four doors with a combination of different accenting materials.
That means you can choose a combination of mirrored panels and wooden, metal or concrete materials. The combination you choose, whether striking or minimalist, is likely to affect your interior design.
For example, if you decide on full-body mirrored wardrobes, you might not want to include a vanity mirror in your wardrobe interiors. Additionally, if you choose a wardrobe design with external shelving, you may not need shelving within the wardrobe interiors.
Choosing your wardrobe interior colour
Choosing wardrobe interior colours is a very personal choice, but it is wise to choose calming colours for bedrooms or bold colours for modern spaces.
You may find the best colours for your interiors either match or completely contrast; this depends on whether you want your wardrobe interiors to be cohesive or a statement piece. A great way of conceptualising this is comparing flashy or subtle suit jacket linings – which do you prefer?
Colour psychology is very real and the colour of your wardrobe interiors can affect how you feel:
- Bedroom colours: warm neutrals for a balanced and inviting atmosphere, soft blues for calm and relaxation, pale greens (such as mint and sage) for a feeling of renewal, muted purples for soothing luxury and crisp whites for freshness are all great options for a bedroom.
- Bold colours: deep emerald greens for a rich and luxurious feel, charcoal or a muted black for a luxe statement piece, sapphire blues for a sense of royalty and burgundy for added drama are good options if you prefer to make a statement with your designs.
Typically, neon colours, bright reds and pure blacks are avoided due to their negative colour associations. Reds can make us feel anxious, blacks absorb light and make rooms feel smaller, and neon colours can be overstimulating to the eyes in rooms which should promote rest and relaxation.
Choosing your wardrobe interior material
We offer a host of wardrobe interior materials, including wood, laminate and metal finishes.
Most match their interior material with the external material, with subtle or striking changes in colour for a satisfying or dramatic reveal upon opening.
All of our materials are robust, stylish and customisable, so the best way to decide on an interior material is by deciding on your fittings and externals first. Once you are happy with these elements, you should have a clearer vision of whether the interiors would be better suited matching or contrasting.
