A fitted wardrobe should do more than store clothes. In a master bedroom, it sets the tone for the whole space. With the right layout, finishes, and details, it can feel effortless to use and beautifully in tune with your interior.
Start with the Room
Begin by reading the space. Measure wall width and ceiling height, note where doors and windows fall, and consider how you move around the room. A design that respects these lines will look cleaner and work better day to day.
• Keep walkways clear and allow comfortable access to bedside tables
• Use full height cabinetry where ceilings are generous
• Consider a built in dresser or seated vanity if the footprint allows
Choose Your Door Style
Both sliding doors and hinged doors can look elegant in a master bedroom. The best choice depends on layout and access.
• Sliding doors save floor space and suit wider spans
• Hinged doors allow full access to each section at once
• Soft close options are available on both systems
Plan the Interior Around Your Routine
The inside matters as much as the outside. Design from your daily habits outward.
• Double hanging for shirts and shorter items
• Long hanging for dresses and coats
• Deep drawers for knitwear and folded pieces
• Pull out trays for jewellery, watches, and accessories
• Dedicated shoe storage with angled shelves or pull outs
• A laundry section or concealed hamper if useful
Finishes that Feel Right
Choose finishes that complement your bedroom rather than compete with it.
-
- Warm wood grains for a calm, natural feel
- Matt colours for a soft, contemporary look
- Mirrors to brighten and visually enlarge the room
- Subtle handle details or a handleless approach for clean lines
Lighting that Lifts the Space
Good lighting turns storage into a feature without overwhelming the room.
• Vertical LEDs near the front for shadow free visibility
• Discreet drawer lighting with motion sensors
• Gentle top wash or cornice lighting for an evening glow
Make the Most of Sloped Ceilings and Alcoves
Master bedrooms often include challenging angles or recesses. Made to measure design ensures nothing is wasted.
-
- Shaped doors and interiors under eaves
- Corner bridging to connect two runs seamlessly
- Shallow sections for alcoves with drawers or shelves
