A walk-in closet is probably every girl's dream. It's a place to store your favorite clothes, hats, bags, and shoes, allowing you to style them however you want, creating new looks every day and never repeating a single week. It's truly one of life's little joys!
However, many people don't know what kind of walk-in closet is best for them. Different types of walk-in closets are suitable for different apartment types and groups. Lao Ju has compiled his recommendations. If you're confused, take a look!
01 Standalone Walk-in Closet
Dedicating an entire room to a standalone walk-in closet is, of course, the ideal scenario. It can hold all the clothes a family of three or four might need year-round. As long as you have extra room in your home, you can be so capricious. It's both beautiful and stylish!
Advantages: Ample dressing space, privacy, ample storage, and dustproof.
Disadvantages: Requires a high floor plan and requires a room to be freed up.
Suitable for: Families with large homes, large collections of clothing, and extensive storage needs.
02 Small Compartmental Dressing Room
If you're short on room but still want a dressing room, the most common approach is to create one in the master bedroom. One side of the wardrobe is attached to the wall, while the other side serves as a partition, creating a walk-in area. This is called a small compartmentalized dressing room.
Advantages: Good lighting, good air circulation, and a space suitable for even small rooms.
Disadvantages: Not dustproof, lacks privacy, and has limited space for trying on and changing clothes.
Suitable for: Families with large master bedrooms who would like to utilize a corner.
03 Built-in Dressing Room
We discussed whether to build a wardrobe into the wall and concluded that a built-in wardrobe is the best choice. The entire wardrobe is surrounded by the wall, which acts as a support for the wardrobe. This type of wardrobe structure is stable and durable. Similarly, a built-in walk-in closet eliminates a hallway in the bedroom, creating more usable space and making it easier to clean. Therefore, Lao Ju recommends considering a built-in walk-in closet!
Pros: Easy to clean, space-saving
Cons: Limited layout and mobility
Suitable for: Small apartments and families willing to break down walls
▲L-shaped built-in walk-in closets are incredibly aesthetically pleasing
▲L-shaped walk-in closets with built-in closets on both sides can also be created
04 Hallway Walk-in Closet
The hallway from the master bedroom to the bathroom, as well as the hallway in your home, can be transformed into a walk-in closet. U-shaped or L-shaped walk-in closets are common in these locations. After a shower, change into your favorite outfit. If you combine a walk-in closet with a dressing table, you can even put on your makeup. This is the perfect layout for those ladies getting ready before going out! Pros: Utilizes unused space
Cons: Be careful with door opening and closing, poor ventilation, and moisture-proofing
Suitable for: Homes with long, narrow rooms
▲ Dressing room + desk combination
▲ Dressing room combined with a dressing table
Freestanding, cubicle, built-in, hallway-style closets: Have you found the best type of closet for you? Lao Ju recommends considering your specific home layout and then considering your needs to help you decide.
