walk-in design wardrobe guide
simple ideas to create a spacious, functional walk-in wardrobe.
A well-designed walk-in wardrobe should be practical, organised, and tailored to your space. Start with accurate measurements to ensure comfort and functionality. Allow 550–600mm depth for hanging clothes and 800–1000mm clearance so you can move easily.
Choose a layout that suits your room:
- Single wall – ideal for smaller spaces
- L-shape – versatile and space-efficient
- U-shape – best for maximising storage in larger rooms
Design your storage around what you actually wear. Include:
- A mix of short and long hanging space
- Drawers for smaller items
- Shelving for folded clothes
- Shoe storage to keep everything organised
Keep everyday items within easy reach and use higher shelves for seasonal or less-used pieces. A good wardrobe system should be simple to use, keep everything visible, and adapt as your storage needs change.
Below are some examples of L-Shaped Wardrobes
design guide
consider your needs & requirements
Look at your clothing... do you have a lot of short garments that require hanging?
Do you require more long hanging?
how many drawers will be sufficient?
Have you got a large collection of shoes that you want to be stored on display?
Look at your current wardrobe set up - what features work well, and what features don't?

Product was delivered quickly and the installation guide was easy as to follow, plus I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality of all the pieces. I am stoked with the look of our new wardrobe so thank you once again :)Posted on Google Neil & Debbie Craigen We recently used Kitset Wardrobes and were very impressed with both the product quality and the service. The flatpack cabinets are excellent quality — well manufactured, solid, and straightforward to assemble. Everything fitted together precisely, which made installation smooth and efficient. During installation we made a few minor changes as the layout evolved slightly. Dave was outstanding with his after-sales support. He responded promptly and arranged additional rails at no extra cost, which was greatly appreciated. That level of service makes a real difference. In the end, we chose to add cabinet feet rather than cut the skirting boards, which worked extremely well and gave a clean, professional finish. Overall, a very positive experience. High-quality product backed by excellent customer service. I would happily recommend Kitset Wardrobes.Posted on Google Justin Goldsmith Stoked with the quality of this product, by far the most solid flat pack furniture I have ever put together. The service was second to none also, would not hesitate to purchase from these guys again.Posted on Google Lingy Au Excellent product which was well packaged and delivered. There was a slight issue with a small piece but Dave responded straight away. Would recommend!
