If you have ambitions to design a wardrobe yourself, there may be many reasons for this bespoke approach, which can offer better prospects than a freestanding wardrobe bought from a furniture store.
Among these considerations are:
· Finding a style that suits your tastes and matches the décor of the room
· The quality of materials
· Being able to tailor it to the dimensions of an unusually shaped room
· Whether it suits any unusual garments you have
· The potential to include extra features
All of these are important considerations and areas in which people using our design tool can gain a clear advantage over simply buying what is basically a rectangular wooden box with doors and a railing for hangars.
However, you do not need to be so abstract with one further consideration, as it is simple, basic, but also quite important: Size.
With Christmas approaching, now may be a very appropriate time to consider this very issue. One reason for this is that you may soon be unwrapping some clothes on December 25th, so you will need space to store them.
That may raise the question of whether you want to clear out some old items to make space for the new. Many people regard a clear-out as a good thing, an antidote to a bad hoarding habit.
You might indeed want to do this and if so, that may feed into your thinking as you design a wardrobe. If you like to keep it fairly minimalist, or like to give away things to charity shops to help the less fortunate, you could design a smaller wardrobe.
However, not everyone feels that way. You may also feel a sentimental attachment to some garments even if you don’t wear them often, such as a themed T-shirt from an event you have great memories of.
Moreover, this can be the time when you remember you have things in your existing wardrobe that you might not wear often, but wouldn’t want to be without on certain occasions, such as fancy party clothes for a Christmas/New Year’s bash, or truly seasonal items like Christmas jumpers.
These points may all be seen as mere excuses by those who advocate a good clear-out, but sometimes there is justification, and when all is said and done, they are your clothes. Why shouldn’t you keep them if you want to?
A further consideration applies to couples. The moment you start sharing a home, the number of clothes multiplies, as might many other items. You may clear out your duplicated items like kettles and toasters, but, unless you have a particular predilection for doing such things, you are unlikely to be wearing each other’s clothes much, or at all.
Straight away, that means you suddenly have far more clothes than before. Do you want to have two clunky wardrobes, or try to cram them all into one after a big clearout?
For all these reasons, using our custom design tool to create the wardrobe of just the size you want is a huge advantage. Yes, you can design a small one if you want to be minimalist, but also something larger to ensure that whatever clothes you want to store, you can.
Your design can be used to maximise space if you have an unusually-shaped room, which a free-standing wardrobe cannot do, but there are also other considerations when it comes to space that can apply when the room is normally shaped and available space is not at a premium.
This can include having a wardrobe that is either taller or wider than it might otherwise be to create some extra room. This may allow for some more shelving space at the top, for instance. The key is to work out how much space you need for a bigger wardrobe and then get to work with our design tool.
You don’t even need to have a huge amount to desire a larger wardrobe. With extra space, they can be spread out more, making it easier and more convenient to find what you are looking for and sort through them whenever you want to plan ahead for what you are wearing in a busy social week, the kind of thing that can often happen around Christmas.
In each of these cases, the key point is that your wardrobe can be however large or small you want it to be. Big is usually better because while you can accommodate a small number of clothes in a large wardrobe, the reverse is not true. Extra space also means you can store other things in there if you want.
