If you or someone you live with is a dedicated follower of fashion, you will know what a challenge it can be to keep an extensive collection of clothing and accessories organised. Naturally, you will want a storage solution that does justice to your good taste, and allows you to select the exact items you want without any frustration.
You may be considering purchasing a wardrobe from a luxury European furniture brand that does justice to your fashion collection. Here’s a look at how to customise your order so that you can be confident the wardrobe will perfectly meet your needs.
Fitted or standalone wardrobe?
The first question is whether a fitted or freestanding wardrobe is the right choice for you. Fitted wardrobes are made to measure, so they can make use of every square centimetre of space, even awkward alcoves or sloping ceilings. The floor to ceiling designs means that there will be no ‘dead space’ above or to the sides of the wardrobe.
As someone with an extensive fashion collection, this extra wriggle room will surely be appreciated. You will also have the opportunity to specify which internal storage solutions you want. For example, if you have a large shoe collection, you can prioritise shelving with glass fronts or pull-out racks so that you can always find just the right pair.
However, if you are planning to move home within a year or two, a freestanding wardrobe that you can take to your new home may be a better investment (although fitted wardrobes may add value to your house).
Materials and finishes
The materials and finishes of the wardrobe will obviously have a major impact on the look and feel of the whole room. If you decide to commission a bespoke wardrobe then you can specify exactly the colours, materials and finishes you would like. As someone with a natural affinity for fashion, no doubt this is a matter that will be important to you.
Consider the existing style of the room, is it clean and contemporary with sleek modernist lines, or more classical or ornate? You may wish to choose natural wood if you prefer a traditional approach to design. If you have a small room, mirrored doors will help to create the sense of more space.
Integrating tech features
The world of technology is introducing all sorts of new innovations to our everyday lives, and the way we store and access our clothes and accessories is no exception. Choose useful features such as motion activated LED lights so that you can easily see all of your items, or even to highlight special favourite pieces.
If you have a lot of expensive items made with specialist materials, you may wish to include temperature and humidity controls inside your wardrobe to keep them in pristine condition.
