A good wardrobe design should be both modern in appearance and solve one’s storage problems. While choosing an off-the-shelf wardrobe or constructing a custom-made wardrobe, we often tend to overlook the aspect of maximising storage and focus on modern wardrobe designs to match with the home décor and theme of the house. Let us look at some wardrobe designs that provide space and also match well with the theme of the house.
Modern wardrobe: Things to consider before choosing a wardrobe design
Here, we share some of the points you should look for, before choosing a modern wardrobe design.
Modern wardrobe placement: Consider the size and dimension of the room before choosing a modern wardrobe. For smaller rooms, you can either go for wardrobes with sliding doors or the wardrobe with front door openings. Keep them on one side of the room to have a clutter-free look and more space. If you have a huge bedroom, look for a walk-in modern wardrobe design.
Modern wardrobe budget: Plan your budget according to the design and size of the room before you choose a modern wardrobe design.
Modern wardrobe material: This is a long-term investment, so choose something durable that looks nice too. While teakwood option is available, it is very expensive and needs maintenance. If you are looking for a pocket-friendly and low maintenance wardrobe, choose those made of metals, laminates, or plywood.

Must-have wardrobe designs
We have already explored some trending and modern wardrobe designs above, so let us now look at some must-have wardrobe designs from functional, storage and clutter-free aspects.
1. Wardrobe design for clothes
The biggest problem with clothes is that they occupy a lot of space and get piled-up. Many times, you won’t be able to find them in these huge piles. To address this issue, ensure that your wardrobe has hangers to make use of the vertical space. It is good to have a modern wardrobe design that has pull-out cloth organisers to store inner garments and small-size clothes.

2. Wardrobe design for accessories
We all love accessories and shop a lot so that they can match with our clothes. While shopping, we hardly think about how and where to store them properly. We need a designated space for these accessories in our modern wardrobe to store them safely and access them quickly whenever required. While choosing a wardrobe, do remember that it should have a drawer or shelf that can house accessories like jewellery, ties, cufflinks, watches, sunglasses etc.

3. Modern wardrobe design that doubles-up to store shoes
One of the most common problems is where to keep formal and party shoes that are less often used. It is always a good idea to select a wardrobe that doubles-up as a shoe cabinet to store formal and party shoes. Most of the wardrobes are designed in a way that the lower section automatically gets converted into a place to keep designer shoes. You can also have narrow shelves in modern wardrobes, where you can keep your shoes.

4. Wardrobe design with lofts
You always need more space, no matter how much storage capacity is there, especially for things which are not compact and are used rarely but are necessary. For example, raincoats and umbrellas in a city like Mumbai or woollens and blankets that are required in northern states during winters. We also have travel suitcases to be kept and stored. Lofts on modern wardrobe can be of great help in such times. If you fit a loft on the top of your wardrobe, it will utilise the vertical space and make your room organised and clutter-free.
