This means that order can finally reign in the sleeping area and the annoying wrinkles on clothing are finally eliminated. So if you have a little space available, you can be fascinated by this construction project!
Practical variants for medium and large rooms
If the bedroom is large enough, it can be divided into two. Some homeowners choose to build a partition wall using Ytong. In any case, a plasterboard construction with sliding doors that visually separate the cupboard is more practical. Curtains are also a good option - especially if the room is furnished in a shabby chic style. The second step is thisLighting for furniture. Whether pendant lights or recessed lights - this depends on your own preferences - in any case, the lighting is an absolute must. Next, you can think about the distribution of space.
The successful distribution of space is crucial
Usually you need space for clothes, shoes and accessories. A successful distribution of space is crucial - that's why you should devote a lot of time to this task. Only then can you start assembling the shelves and drawers. Manufacturers like Ikea offer a large selection of aluminum profiles and baskets that you can make yourselfdesign according to your own wishescan. Optionally, you can also commission a furniture company to do the job - they will make the cabinets custom-made for you. Attached you will find a series of images with various examples of what a walk-in closet in the bedroom can look like.
With display cabinets and wooden furniture in a French country house style
The easiest way to set up a wonderfully beautiful closet yourself is if there is a small room in your apartment that is empty. The former children's room or an unused storage room can be converted into an open piece of furniture with a simple shelving system. Room sections with sloping ceilings are also particularly suitable for an open variant. The free space there often remains unused, with valuable storage space being lost. A niche in the room offers suitable space for your dream wardrobe. Especially if space is limited, the existing niche is a great way to save additional furniture in a small room.

You don't have to forego a practical closet just because the bedroom or another room isn't big enough. A real highlight and a good example of optimal use of space are the wardrobes, which are housed in niches. Depending on the size, you can add shelves and clothes rails and finish the niche with a chic curtain that matches the rest of the interior. A closet can also be created under a loft bed by installing several shelves. If there is no separate room in your apartment, the wardrobe will be integrated into the bedroom. Please note that you need to plan an area that is at least 2 meters deep and 2.50 meters long for such a cabinet.
Practical and space-saving in a corner
Once you have planned a certain amount of space for the closet, you can think about its layout. Get an overview of all your clothing, shoes and accessories for the first time. For example, if you are more of a pantser, then you need more shelves in your closet. Clothes rails are the better solution for types of dresses and skirts. Items of clothing that are stored at the top or at the back are easier to lose sight of and are often forgotten. There are now mobile clothes rails on the market that you can also place in front of your shelves. Because they can be moved, they also allow access to the items that are on the second row. Sweaters, T-shirts and pants that you like and wear often need to be at the front so that you always have them within reach.
Separate from the bedroom with glass doors
Don't hang the hangers too tightly or pile the clothes up too high. This keeps you organized and allows you to easily reach your clothes. For example, you can store shoes in dust-free boxes or store them on a rack. Boxes are the ideal solution for small accessories, belts or scarves. If you have old cabinets, you can take out their doors and use them for storage. Simply place one cabinet against the wall and the other directly opposite. There are several options available to you to separate your piece of furniture from the rest of the room. As mentioned above, curtain rods with curtains are a great and cost-effective option. Sliding and folding doors are also a practical and attractive way to close the cupboard dust-free. With plasterboard panels stretched from floor to ceiling, you can separate a room of the desired size and design it according to your own taste.
With metal shoe racks
If your walk-in closet has no windows, adequate lighting is essential. A full-length mirror is of course also essential. Light bulbs around the mirror can provide even lighting. It is best to get daylight lamps, as artificial light usually distorts the colors. Halogen lamps are a good decision because they hardly change the actual color of the clothing. Distribute the light sources inside the cabinet and on the ceiling. It should be so bright that you can see the colors equally well. If you have enough space, you can create the perfect closet with a comfortable bench or stool. This means you can dress comfortably, take off the clothes you have chosen for a short time or choose another item.
