How to design a walk in robe?

We're building and have been asked what we'd like in our WIR. I've never had one, so I'm a bit unsure exactly what I need. I'm thinking hanging on both side walls. A low and high rod on the right side for my husband. Then in the middle having drawers to mid height and shelving above them. I want to have hooks on the wall with the door, so I can hang jewellery & outfits. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

Comments (8)Hi North Residential Constructions , thank you for your comments. We too don't think you can have too many shoes either! and know how important shoe storage is, If you scroll through and take a look at the last photo you will see the shoes are hidden behind the mirror hinged door...See MoreProposed Walk in Robe Design (in 3D)
Comments (4)Thanks so much for the confidence boost :) I ran over the design 100 times to ensure it is completely functional. Sometimes a design might look great but in reality parts of it aren't practical. We're now focusing more on interior design than we do 3D visualization as that is where our passion is so your words mean a lot :) I am using 3DS Max for the modelling. For the purposes of demonstrating concepts to clients i would recommend sketchup - much easier....See MoreYour help with a bathroom and walk-in robe combo
Comments (6)a separate wiw and ens will give the best use of the space with maximum storage wall to disguise the volume of your clothes in chests of drawers under hanging space below high shelves and there's space in the ensuite for a generous double shower, vanity and wall cabinets but the bath will have to go elsewhere if you want to be able to stand and dress in the wiw or ens and keep the rooms feeling comfortable for two people to use together twin highlight windows will provide light and ventilation and hinged doors allow for clothes racks and/or hooks on the back of the doors...See MoreWalk in robe design?
Comments (11)As Kate said, do you have, do you need? It has to work for the items you are storing in it. For some people it might be only clothes, and perhaps not even overcoats, shoes, underwear, sportswear which are kept elsewhere. For other people it might be everything and linen for that bedroom and the suitcase as well. So look at what you've got and what it needs, hanging space and long or short, shelf space, enclosed drawers, particularly large space (eg suitcase), particularly small space (eg jewellery), particularly tall space (eg boots), particularly wide space (eg spare quilt). If I remember the required dimensions right, one side of your WIR looks generous for hanging space so maybe you can do something with the ends, though beware of creating difficult to reach corners, and the other side is too narrow, so that's shelving/drawers and maybe hooks. What might you store up top, and how often will you need access, think about a pull down hanging rail or a rolling ladder, or somewhere to store a stepstool....See More

9 years agoThank you for all the help and for the great article! The feedback has been soooo helpful in getting me to think about how I will use the space (& my husband's use of the space). I'll add some pics of my current design. Let me know if you can see any flaws.
Thanks again everyone!

6 years agoAll the advice and feedback is great.
One of the most important things when planning a closet wardrobe is to always map out your the floor space using ratio categories.
A professional will know what this is, and this will ensure that you maximise the entire space.
Male & female clothing sizing and ratios are very different, so ensure that you apply this formula when mapping out the wardrobe closet area.
If you do it right, it will increase the value of your property and ensure that the wardrobe will become an asset all in its own right.
Never under estimate the power of an organised, styled wardrobe closet.
