Chic and Practical: Studying the L-Shaped Wardrobe Layout
When it comes to maximizing storage without sacrificing style, an L-shaped wardrobe or closet is a major contender. This contemporary style replaces the conventional wall-mounted closet with a hinged-door wardrobe, resulting in a configuration that feels innovative and spacious. The open concept, created using a clean, sophisticated combination of white and gray-blue colors, offers the space a sense of something classic but still modern.
An exceptional highlight is the bright blue logo on the back of the hanging unit which utilizes much of the monotones for a lighter amusement of colour. The white UV lacquered doors of the wardrobe feature a textured crocodile skin finish which gives dimension physically and visually. The two tones of blue and white portray a calmness and layering effect to the cupboard elements in the space.
On the opposite side, the design takes a richer approach – with medium gray door panels, providing contrast and visual interest. The aluminum-framed glass doors give a clean, modern look, and paired with a decorative stone-patterned back panel. All in all, the master bedroom is imbued with a unique artistic flair.
L-Shaped Walk-In Closet: Your Personal Dressing Retreat
A walk-in closet is not just a place to hang your clothes, it is a personal retreat, your personal place of daily design and, in many instances, a luxurious escape. Whether you are a high fashion enthusiast or only use your walk-in clothes storage to get dressed from your day to day essentials it offers storage, convenience, and ample space to move freely while getting dressed.
A walk-in closet is classified as anything you can walk into. Some are as small as 3×5 square feet with others consumed as much space as a small bedroom. Regardless of the actual size of the walking closet, they can be arranged depending on how the space is available to work with. Therefore there are literally endless possibilities.
Whether wall-mounted shelves, wall-mounted rails, folding stations, or stackable storage, any wall becomes useful real estate for organizing.
Many larger installs will incorporate an island unit in the center; a versatile piece that can work as a dressing table or folding table. For couples, incorporating shelving or dividers will be able to separate the area into two sides to create a dual-entry wardrobe with distinct sections visually creating partitioned areas allowing for two dedicated spaces.
To keep it comfortable, most walk-in closets have HVAC vents or windows; allowing you to regulate temperature and air circulation, keeping your favorite garments smelling fresh in your wardrobe.
The corollary of your ideal walk-in closet is down to you, how you utilize that space. Want a wall of shoes? Do it. Want to create a space that is like a mini-fashion show runway with mirrors and great lighting? Add one, or two, and use it to its full potential. It is your wardrobe, you have the choice.
Reach-in closets - L-shaped wardrobes: Smart storage for tight spaces
While reach-in closets don’t have the same spaciousness of a walk-in, they can be just as organized and customized. Reach-in closets are typically narrow and shallow in depth; they vary in height, but they can be adjusted to fit your space plan.
A standard reach-in features a long hanging rod, with a storage shelf above. The traditional setup has been a popular option for bedrooms, hallways, or entryways—and although the absence of a walk-in closet may be seen as a negative considering property value solutions, effective reach-ins can still provide a high level of functionality in your home.
Typical reach-in closets are smaller in size, and include swinging doors, sliding doors, or bi-fold doors. In small spaces, like a hall closet, a curtain or divider is common to hide contents while maximizing space.
When it comes to the reach-in, the key to maximizing the space is to use every inch available. Place your seasonal items above the hanging rod, and if tall, consider a dresser or drawer unit underneath to house the essentials – socks, tees and undergarments, and to ensure they are free from the dreaded wrinkled state.
