We talked about bedrooms and how to decorate them but we didn’t actually focus on one of the most important item of the room: the wardrobe.
No idea why, but we don‘t really like wardrobes. Maybe because the wrong one could be too oppressive or inadequate for your room.
On the opposite, we really enjoy a well integrated wardrobe built in harmony with the architecture of your home. We prefer a wardrobe that fits into the overall architecture of a home.
That‘s why a bespoke item can make a huge difference, especially if you design it according to the architecture of your house. It will blend into your home like a wall and you won‘t notice it’s there.
#1: make the wardrobe disappear
Simple and plain doors painted with the same colors as your walls will never let you down. No handles or patterns. The wardrobe has to disappear. Make use of all the space in the room, from floor to ceiling.

#2: Multifunctional spaces
Rather than opening a door, you gently slide each module along a rail path. It’s a revolution. The wall between the living room and the bedroom can become a wardrobe, and you can customise the space according to your needs.
Moving and rotating furniture is now a trend. Look at this spectacular project by PKMN Architectures
#3 Low cost wardrobe
I really like this project from the Italian architectural firm Hypnos. It involves a nonslip mat. This is normally used as an under-carpet, but they used it to make wardrobe doors. Low-cost, beautiful and incredibly easy to replicate.
