The great appeal of our DIY wardrobe planner is that it can bring out the creative and crafty designer in you. With initiative, imagination and no little precision, you can design something that fits perfectly into the available space and does so in just the style you want.
Once this is done, we will then manufacture it and send it in a kit form for you to assemble and fit, leaving you with what should be the wardrobe you have always dreamed of.
It all sounds so simple and it may indeed be, if you start off knowing exactly what you want and are able to put together a design that matches your ambitions precisely.
Not everyone does think that way, however, often for good reasons:
- If you are a couple, you may have clashing ideas and need to compromise
- The bedroom may not have the shape and dimensions to quite match your ideal design
- You may not be quite sure what you want to do
Why Is Our Design Tool Ideal For Uncertain Users?
The good news is that our wardrobe tool is not just there for those who can pick it up and get started immediately on drawing up an idea they already have in their heads. It is also there for those who have uncertainties or disagreements.
In particular, you can try putting together a design with our tool and seeing how it looks. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. You can scrap it and start again, or make some adjustments. By doing this, you can keep going until you find the design that you can agree looks great.
A key question that you may be uncertain about is whether to design a wardrobe that complements the existing décor of a room, or to transform it.
The decision may be based on different situations. For instance, you may have just moved into a home and want to put your own stamp on it, or you might have chosen it partly because you like the look of it.
Alternatively, you may decide your existing home needs a new look after many years of the same décor.
Should You Follow Interior Fashion When Designing A Wardrobe?
If you are considering the possibility of change, one option is to consider the latest fashions and styles.
According to the predictions of Homes and Gardens at the end of last year, the dominant bedroom fashion for 2026 would be “all about colour, cosy and character”.
That means lots of neutral colours, zoning with areas set aside for activities like reading, plenty of decoration and a thick, warm carpet underfoot. All of this would be very different from the minimalist styles that many homes have, especially some modern apartments.
Of course, there are a few caveats to take into account when considering such ideas:
- Some predictions about what is going to be fashionable turn out to be wide of the mark
- Some forecasts include many different styles, so no one theme is dominant anyway
- The look that may be in vogue this year might not be something that you like
- You can always take a contrarian view and go for something that none of the interior décor pundits has promoted.
- You are not just designing or redecorating for one year, but many, so beware of fashions that will soon be out of favour.
Examples of the latter may include a pink-dominated theme, which may have been very fashionable in 2023 and 2024 when the Barbie Movie was dominating the headlines and a shade of pink was the Pantone Colour of the Year two years running, but less so now.
What Matters Most When Designing A New Wardrobe?
If you are going to design a wardrobe to fit a new theme, you should bear these issues in mind. Ultimately, it should improve the room, making it more aesthetically attractive, practical and a place you feel happy and comfortable in.
Those priorities may also be borne in mind if you want a wardrobe to complement the existing design.
By designing something new and bespoke, you will still be upgrading on the existing wardrobe arrangements of one or two bland, freestanding rectangles, but you can take the existing theme to new heights by ensuring that its features fit with those of the whole room.
This flexibility is one of the best aspects of the DIY tool. If you are uncertain, you can experiment to your heart’s content, trying out different designs and considering what would best suit the room you have, or the room you plan when it is fully redecorated.
In the end, it is your new wardrobe and this is a golden chance to design something personalised to your own needs and wants.
