What Makes a Good Walk-In Wardrobe?

Your wardrobe is one of the most crucial and functional parts of your bedroom. But you need to have a great walk-in wardrobe because there's nothing more annoying than mildew ruining and damaging your shoes and clothing or a wardrobe that won't shut since there's not enough space for your clothes and hangers.

So what truly makes a good walk-in wardrobe? Here are some tips for finding the best wardrobes in Adelaide:

• Do you need a back or floor in your walk-in wardrobe? We recommend getting a wardrobe with kickboards with solid floors and backs, as well as full-depth drawers and shelving. Many wardrobes are built without any backs or flooring to save on material, making the wardrobe cheaper to build but not very functional. We suggest getting a wardrobe with a high kickboard and a solid back with a void to the wall. An air gap will prevent the wardrobe from growing any mold or dampening your clothes, and causing damage to the wardrobe or your clothing.
• What are the key dimensions for a sliding door or hinged door wardrobe? Sliding door wardrobes tend to be about 700 millimetres deep on the outside, with a 120-millimetre door track. These wardrobes offer 580 millimetres of hanging depth, while the internal drawers and shelves are only about 450 millimetres deep. On the other hand, hinged door wardrobes are about 620 millimetres deep on the outside with about 580 millimetres of hanging depth, and all of the drawers and shelves are full depth, which provides more storage space. Hinged door wardrobes give you more internal options.
• What are the differences between different kinds of wardrobes? Wardrobes with sliding doors are usually installed with no bottoms or backs. The melamine used in the sliding-door wardrobes is generally of a cheaper quality than hinged-door wardrobes. The drawer runners also usually have a bottom fix with no option for a soft close. These wardrobes are often about one-third less expensive than hinged-door wardrobes and come with shorter warranties. Hinged-door wardrobes, on the other hand, nearly always have solid backs and kickboards. The solid backs of the sliding door wardrobes have about a 20-millimetre void to the wall. The combo of the kickboard and the air gap prevents the possibility of rising damp, moisture, and mould growing on your wardrobe and clothing. The melamine used in a hinged-door wardrobe is of a much higher quality than the kind used in a sliding-door wardrobe. You also have nearly infinite options with an internal layout, the width and height of the drawers, and the type of door. Hinged-door wardrobes are usually more expensive, but the internal options and quality of the wardrobe are typically much better. Hinged-door wardrobes also enable more door options. It's also important to note that many people dismiss hinged-door wardrobes since they believe that their room is too small for such type of wardrobes. A hinged-door wardrobe is about 610 millimetres deep, while a sliding door wardrobe without a bottom or a back is about 700 millimetres deep.
