A practical downloadable guide to planning wardrobe joinery that looks beautiful, works harder and makes everyday life easier.
A well-designed wardrobe is about much more than fitting in as many shelves and rails as possible. It should reflect what you actually own, how you get dressed and what you need to access every day.
In this downloadable guide, we share The Designory’s practical approach to creating wardrobes that feel considered, organised and effortless to use. From planning the right combination of hanging space, drawers, shelving and shoe storage to lighting, access and those all-important joinery dimensions, this guide will help you make confident decisions before your wardrobe goes into production.
Our top three tips for creating a functional, beautifully resolved wardrobe
A simple wardrobe audit to help you plan around what you actually own
Cheat-sheet dimensions for wardrobe depths, hanging rails, shelves, drawers and shoe storage
Recommended heights for short, medium and full-length hanging
Walk-in wardrobe clearances and practical circulation considerations
Advice on lighting, mirrors, internal accessories and hardware
Common wardrobe-planning mistakes and how to avoid them
A final checklist to work through before signing off your joinery
Whether you’re planning a compact built-in robe, a hardworking family wardrobe or a generous walk-in, this guide will help you use every centimetre more intelligently—without sacrificing the overall design of the room.
Created by designers and made for real homes, it gives you the practical starting point you need to brief your cabinetmaker, review your joinery drawings and create storage that genuinely supports the way you live. Its clear, approachable format follows The Designory’s Kickstarter guides, combining designer insight with actionable advice you can put to use immediately.
