A walk-in wardrobe was once a Hollywood status symbol; the preserve of those with extensive designer handbag and shoe collections. However, they are now recognised as a useful addition to any household to help minimise clutter and make getting dressed a more convenient and quicker experience.
If you do not have a house full of spacious bedrooms, then you may have dismissed the idea of a walk-in wardrobe as an unattainable luxury. However, your dream may be easier to achieve than you think. Here are some ideas to make the most of the space that you have available.
Assess your space
First of all, take a look at the space that you have. The ideal scenario is that you have a bedroom large enough to section off a walk-in wardrobe space. Allow for at least 2.5 metres by 1.5 metres to ensure that you can comfortably access all of your stored items. An L-shaped wardrobe with sliding doors is ideal for a slightly smaller space.
If your room is capacious enough, you may choose to have a U-shaped wardrobe with shelving and hanging space on either side, and possibly even a central island with a dressing space and seating.
Even if your house has average proportions, there are still plenty of creative possibilities to create a workable wardrobe space. For example, you might have a box room that is currently used as a general dumping ground because it is not big enough to accommodate a full-sized bed. This can easily be converted into a bespoke walk-in wardrobe space.
If your bedroom has alcoves or other awkward spaces that are currently underutilised, consider how these might be incorporated into a screened-off area that can be used for extra storage space. You may even consider having a loft conversion to make the most of all the storage space available under the alcoves.
How to organise your walk-in wardrobe
Many companies will provide bespoke storage solutions so that your wardrobe will be perfectly suited to your needs. Make an assessment of your clothes, shoes and accessories and decide how you would like to access them.
For example, if you have an extensive shoe and bag collection, then you may like to have glass-fronted shelving so that you can see each item at glance rather than have to hunt through cupboards and drawers. Keeping shoes separate from clothing is also cleaner and more hygienic.
Dual-level hanging spaces that can accommodate longer items such as trousers and dresses and shorter garments such as tops and shirts. Maximise the vertical space with floor to ceiling fittings. If you have high ceilings, take advantage of this by having additional storage cupboards above the hanging space.
The addition of full-length mirrors on the wardrobe doors will help to maximise the sense of space in the room and also be convenient for checking out your outfit and making sure that you have made the right choices of accessories.

We had our walk in wardrobe designed and fitted by komandor. Great service throughout and very good value for money. Work was done to high standard and in good time. Would definitely recommend.
One word.... PERFECT. We decided to go with KOMANDOR after a very impressive initial planning meeting at their showroom in Aberdeen. This company "ooze" professionalism in every area, from customer service, design, offering honest advice, right to a NO FUSS fitting and instalation to an excellent standard of finish. The Carpenter arrived as arranged and was extremely respectful throughout the entire fitting of 2 fully fitted wardrobes. I'm amazed at how clean he worked with minimal noise and to produce a level of proffessional finish that my OCD can only dream of. KOMANDOR deliverd excellence from start to finish, thankyou to Lucas and the team. Would highly recommend and WILL be back myself to discuss bedside cabinates. 5 🌟
Komandor recently fitted new wardrobe doors for us. We got exactly what we wanted with high quality materials and a quick and efficient installation. In addition, Aga and the team helped to organise the work to take into account the fact that my wife is severely disabled. I would highly recommend this company.
Komandor fitted a wardrobe in a small bedroom in hopes to give back some space. The place now looks completely different, got new space, wardrobe looks classy and super sleek. They did an amazing job! Very happy with it.
Moved into a place which had the main bedroom in the attic. The roof angles meant ‘normal Ikea wardrobes wouldn’t be an effective use of the alcoves. We got a quote from Sharps and Komandor. Komandor was cheaper - worth noting both quotes were quite a bit higher than I initially expected but seems to be the going rate.The cupboards were installed probably a month after placing the order, the fitter was very good and left the room in a tidy state. There were two issues noticed post job, one being a scratch on a door, the other being a drawer not closing smoothly. I got in contact with them and they ordered a new door and fixed that and the drawer in one go. Cannot complain. Hopefully these will last many many years!
Komandor Aberdeen have just installed a fitted wardrobe in one of my bedrooms and we will use their services again!!! Every aspect of their service has been 1st Class right from the initial home visit through to a visit at their Rosemount premises and then the fitting. The Rosemount visit confirmed our initial positive impression of the quality of Komandor’s product and staff. All our questions were answered and the wide variety material options we were shown were very impressive. The wardrobe has been fitted and we are absolutely delighted with the finished product and the extremely professional manner in which it was fitted.When we look back at the other options we looked at we are so pleased that we chose Komandor who, in our view, were streets ahead of the competition. We have to thank Facebook for our choice as it was through Fb that we first saw the good reviews given to the Komandor products. Komandor have exceeded our expectations and we are just thrilled with our new wardrobe 😊😊😊
I thouroughly recommend Daniel and his team. From the off they were very helpful with the design of our bedroom storage requirements. Very neat and tidy throughout, the finished article is of a very high standard using high quality materials. Big thanks to the Komandor team.
