I agree with jmm1837 and builders and designers are now realising that clients are spending more of their hard earned cash on clothes and require space to look after their dresses, skirts, suits, shoes bags etc. The key rule for built in or walk in robes is to be able to see and reach everything in your wardrobe. Wardrobe design is very different to kitchen design and it is worth investing in a professional wardrobe designers service to get maximum use of space. If you choose a Reach in or Built in wardrobe the doors are the main feature and make a statement in the room therefore style and finish is very important. If you choose hinged doors make sure you have enough room to open them, sliding doors take up less space. A professional wardrobe designer will work with you to custom design the internal fit out of the built in robe, how much half hang, full hang or 3/4 hanging you need, shoe storage and how many drawers you require. Fashions may change but style never dates, if you get the design right and invest in quality your wardrobe will last a lifetime.www.alliancerobes.com.au

Both look like nice designs! If you like this style you should check out what Zanda Architectural Hardware has on offer - they've got a great range of modern door handles.

I have used the Ikea Utrusta push opener on 240cm x 50cm pax doors and it effectively opens the door 5cm which is enough to then easily open the rest of the way by hand. The only issue is that in order for them to work well in terms of ease of use with a double door pax wardrobe, you really need a shelf mid height installed in order to mount the Utrusta so that they are located behind the doors as close to where a door handle would normally be. I did try mounting them on the top but then you need to push the door towards the top and reaching to do that is no fun. I guess the other option if you needed a full length double wardrobe would be to mount them to base but then you would need to kick the door to open... I was advised against it by ikea staff on the basis that they were designed for the metod doors but I have had them in for a month now and am happy with the result and would recommend it if you want a handless design with the caveat that you will need to have a shelf mid height in a double wardrobe system so you have something to mount them to where the doors meet in the middle at handle height.

Hi, I would like some opinions on whether we should use all knobs or a mix of knobs and handles on our new wardrobe? It is a full wall polyurethane white satin wardrobe Photos below of the wardrobe (tv in centre) and handles/knobs we are considering. Appreciate any advice Thank you Kelly
