A wardrobe is one of the most-used pieces of furniture in your home, so getting the design right matters. Here's how to think through the choices.

Sliding vs. hinged doors

Sliding doors don't need swing clearance, making them ideal for smaller bedrooms or wardrobes placed close to a bed or wall. Hinged doors give full, simultaneous access to the interior and often cost less, working well when you have the room for the door swing.

Planning the loft

A loft above the wardrobe adds valuable storage for items you access rarely — suitcases, extra bedding, seasonal clothing. Decide upfront whether you want the loft to run the full width or only part of it, based on ceiling height and how much everyday storage you need below.

Internal configuration

A good internal layout balances hanging space (long for dresses/kurtas, short for shirts), shelves for folded clothing, and drawers for smaller items. Think about what you actually own before finalising the split.

Mirror shutters

A mirrored shutter saves you a separate dressing mirror and visually opens up a smaller bedroom — worth considering on at least one door.

Finish and hardware

Laminate finishes are budget-friendly and durable; veneer and acrylic offer a more premium look at a higher price point. Soft-close hinges and channels are a small upgrade that makes a noticeable difference to everyday use.

We walk you through all of these choices against your actual room dimensions and wardrobe needs during the design stage, so the final wardrobe works for how you really live.
