An open plan walk in wardrobe is a real 'wow' in any bedroom, but is really only for those with lots and lots of room.

Lighting is essential; try and position the wardrobe so it gets as much ambient light as possible, but you'll probably need to supplement with spot lighting very effective as well as being very stylish. Wardrobe doors' impact can be softened by replacing their panels with areas of pleated cloth, creating an armoire effect. Tie and shoe racks, shelves, drawers and both short and long hanging areas.

Whichever you choose, give good consideration to using all the available space, including the entrance way into the wardrobe, and even the space above the door (assuming there is one). With a standalone or fitted wardrobe, be aware that their long doors can be very imposing this might be an undesired effect. They are fairly easy to construct (simple tud' walls are the basis) or can be bought ready made, or installed by a specialist company. If you've plenty of space in your bedroom, you should think about installing a walk in wardrobe.

Inside your walk in wardrobe, the walls can be fitted with all sorts of storage areas.
