How to choose an open walk-in wardrobe: differents types
Perfect even in a small bedroom ⟶ , the open walk-in wardrobe can be designed by exploiting all available centimetres while taking into account the shape of the room. In fact, this first step makes it possible to create a made-to-measure wardrobe that can then be fitted out to your liking. Here are the different types you can choose from.
Linear walk-in wardrobe
This walk-in wardrobe is perfect in a room with reduced dimensions: the rack system to which the shelves (in all their different types) are attached is in fact leaning against the wall in order to not waste a single centimetre. It is a completely modular system that can therefore combine both aesthetics and functionality.
Corner walk-in wardrobe
An open walk-in wardrobe that follows the shape of the room, occupying two adjoining walls. The corner walk-in wardrobe ⟶ is the right solution for those who have a few extra metres available but still do not want to fill the room with the more classic wardrobes. Even though it occupies two walls, in fact, the absence of doors does not make the room too heavy: on the other hand, the natural interplay of full and empty spaces typical of an open wardrobe makes the room dynamic without filling it up excessively.
Walk-in wardrobe in the niche
An open walk-in wardrobe also exploits a pre-existing architectural element: an niche (even if it is not very deep) can in fact be fitted wall-to-wall, exploiting all the available centimetres in the bedroom to provide plenty of extra storage space.
Walk-in wardrobe with sliding door
This is a solution for those who have a large bedroom: if you do not want to give up the aesthetics of the walk-in wardrobe but have the dream of separating the wardrobe from the rest of the room, you can install a linear walk-in wardrobe along one wall, and then separate it from the rest of the room with a beautiful sliding door. You do not give up the visual appeal and, at the same time, you get two clearly separated rooms.
Walk-in wardrobe equipment
After having chosen the type of walk-in wardrobe for your bedroom, you can start with the actual project. Once the measurements have been taken and the overall dimensions established, you can in fact devote yourself to the most beautiful part: customising the wardrobe.
The beauty of the walk-in wardrobe also lives in its versatility: it is like a blank canvas to be painted according to individual needs. A man who has a lot of shirts, for example, will be able to dedicate more space to clothes-hanging tubes; a man who has a lot of shoes, on the other hand, will be able to provide more inclined shoe shelves. Let us therefore discover the whole range of equipment with which you can customise your visible wardrobe.
- Clothes hanging tube: it is the emblem of the open walk-in wardrobe. Whether shirts, t-shirts or trousers, it works just like in a shop. One glance at the hanging clothes to visually compose the day’s outfit.
- Shelf: perfect for storing the heaviest jumpers or clothes that are less frequently used, it allows folded clothes to be stacked on top of each other, brushing the entire composition with colour.
- Frame with bag: a passepartout storage unit that can be hidden from view by sliding it over the rail under the shelf. It is perfect for storing – for example – dirty laundry.
- Trouser rack: the operation is the same as described earlier. A rail placed under a shelf allows a simple grid to slide back and forth to accommodate suitably folded trousers.
- Chest of drawers: a walk-in wardrobe does not exclusively accommodate visible elements. Actually, a chest of drawers is a must for storing personal effects and underwear.
- Shoe rack: this is an inclined shelf on which you can show off your shoes of the season. To have everything in one place and compose your outfit at a single glance.
- Honeycomb: can be chosen in different sizes, becoming a passepartout storage unit. For bags, for scarves, for folded shirts or t-shirts, you can use it to your taste and liking.
- Frame with belt holder: a retractable shelf that functions as a drawer which, when opened, reveals the presence of a convenient grid that can accommodate, in perfect order, all the belts in one’s collection.
In short, an open walk-in wardrobe can become the wardrobe of your dreams with just a few tricks: all you have to do is choose the type that best suits the size and shape of the sleeping area and equip it with everything you need to make the wardrobe functional (and to your taste).
