More on Design
These days one can personalise all your furniture and home décor to suit your styling needs. With bespoke built-in wardrobes, designs differ one from the other. There are 3 types of basic designs namely straight walk-in, L-shape and U shaped. A straight walk-in closet utilises more floor space and is generally larger. U-shaped walk in’s uses a 3 walled design and also allows for more storage space. With the L-shaped walk-in less space is utilised but works effectively to store more clothes that the average wardrobe size would. When it comes to colour it is also a great idea to paint the wardrobe with a lighter colour such as white, neutral, pale pink, off yellow, basically a colour that won’t steal the spotlight from your clothes. With a neutral or less overwhelming colour, your clothes will be the main feature and truly be accentuated.
Walk-in closets are great as a his and hers touch to your home and allows you the freedom to see all your clothes without having to rummage through them too much, more like a shop display.
