Wardrobe Design Mistakes to Avoid in Small Bedrooms

Small bedrooms need sharper planning because every inch affects comfort and movement. A wardrobe should improve usability, not make the room tighter.

1. Incorrect Wardrobe Depth

Going too shallow affects hanging space. Going too deep eats walking space. Maintain practical depth while preserving clear movement near the bed and entry.

2. Wrong Shutter Choice

Hinged shutters need front clearance. Sliding shutters save opening space but need quality channels. Choose based on room width and furniture placement.

3. Poor Internal Segmentation

A wardrobe looks complete outside but fails daily if internal planning is weak. Balance hanging, folded storage, drawers, and accessory sections.

4. Ignoring Loft Practicality

Lofts are useful for seasonal storage but should be proportionate. Oversized lofts can make the room visually heavy and harder to access.

Smart Wardrobe Planning Checklist

• Check opening path before selecting shutter type
• Plan daily-use storage at easy access height
• Use mirror placement to increase visual depth
• Keep toe space and lighting in mind
• Confirm hardware warranty and brand
