Hidden wardrobe in the bedroom - inspirations and ready-made furniture systems

An elegant walk-in closet is a dream for many people. It allows you to organize and safely store clothes, shoes, accessories for various styles, and many other items, including home textiles and an ironing board, all in one place. In this article, we'll show you how to design this type of space, maximizing the interior's potential.

Why is it worth having a hidden wardrobe in the bedroom?

Thanks to it, everything is at your fingertips, and every styling item stored in the wardrobe has its own permanent home. So, there's no need to rush to find your favorite jacket, pants, or pair of shoes. A hidden wardrobe in the bedroom has many advantages.

Functionality and space saving

A hidden wardrobe, besides its functionality, also allows you to save space. A wardrobe that's properly adapted to the interior won't overwhelm the design; on the contrary, it will lighten the décor, improve the room's proportions, and create a very modern look.

Minimalist aesthetics - order without compromise

How to hide a wardrobe in a bedroom? There are many ways to create attractive and practical storage space. You can opt for a fully built-in wardrobe from floor to ceiling, consisting of shelves, storage compartments, and clothes rails behind minimalist fronts. Another option is a built-in wardrobe, which is an ideal custom-made solution. Ready-made furniture sets are also available, including wardrobes, chests of drawers, shelving, and containers, which you can arrange in any configuration, thus increasing the functionality of the room. Minimalist fronts work well in small spaces, creating a cohesive whole with the rest of the furnishings.

Ways to hide a wardrobe in the bedroom

Discreet interior design solutions add a touch of lightness and are exceptionally practical. Depending on the specifics of your bedroom, you can arrange your dressing room in many different ways. Here are a few of them.

Wardrobe behind the bed - partition wall with passage

A spacious wardrobe behind a bedroom wall is an ideal solution for large and medium-sized rooms. You can place a lightweight partition directly behind the headboard of your bed or in another convenient location. It's important that it doesn't block access to daylight, allows for free movement around the room, and optimally separates the storage area from the sleeping area.

A walk-in closet behind a centrally placed bed looks incredibly elegant and allows you to cleverly conceal all your belongings behind the wall. Hang a picture above the headboard, create a photo gallery, or apply stylish wallpaper that complements the interior design. Place bedside tables on either side. A semi-open walk-in closet without doors is an interesting option, with entrances on either side of the partition. Install shelves, an open shelving unit, or attach hangers on the hidden wall surface. This space will be invisible once you enter the bedroom, so it won't overwhelm the décor while providing easy and quick access to clothes. This solution ensures proper air circulation throughout the room. However, if the room is small and you have a lot of storage, you can create a larger walk-in closet with lockable doors.

Recess installation - sliding or handleless doors

The optimal use of available space in a room is to build a built-in wardrobe. A wardrobe designed this way offers plenty of space. Behind the stylish sliding doors, you can install shelves and clothes rails. Another option is to install a wardrobe in a recess. Take the white BONEY model, available in several sizes, as an example. Light-colored or mirrored doors will visually enlarge and brighten a small bedroom.

Wardrobe behind the curtain - textile lightness and style

A small space for storing clothes, household textiles, and even household appliances can be easily sectioned off with a high-quality curtain made of thick, opaque material. A dressing room with a curtain is an economical solution, easy to make, and aesthetically pleasing. Simply install a ceiling curtain rod. The arrangement will gain a lightness and cozy "softness," and the right color or pattern on the fabric will further enhance the character of the decor. Behind the curtain, you can place a clothes rack, a spacious shelf, a chest of drawers, or a wardrobe. You can easily separate the bedroom from the dressing room whenever necessary.

Corner wardrobe - clever corner solutions

To create a dressing room in the corner of a room, a spacious corner wardrobe, a modular storage system, or a fabric curtain suspended from a ceiling rail will be useful. Another interesting solution is an elegant screen, separating one area from another. It can be used to conceal the dressing room, keeping the bedroom tidy. Also worth considering are openwork shelving units or vertical slats, which work well as a partition without blocking access to daylight.

Ready-made furniture systems for a hidden wardrobe

System furniture - modular built-in sets

A wardrobe in the bedroom is the perfect way to conveniently store your clothes. The inspiration presented on Furnitop.co.uk and on our blog will allow you to create a unique design tailored to your needs. You can choose wardrobe furniture systems composed of essential elements – frames, hanging shelves, upholstered panels with hangers, fronts, drawers, pull-out baskets, and much more.

Built-in wardrobes with sliding doors

Stylish built-in wardrobes are a great way to practically utilize a bedroom alcove. They don't take up much space, and the cleverly integrated sliding doors are almost invisible. Behind them, you can organize clothes, leather goods, shoes, jewelry, and many other items. You can even hide an iron and ironing board.

Open wardrobes with organizers and shelves

If you have a separate dressing room, you can opt for a built-in wardrobe without fronts. Open shelves keep everything visible, so it's worth equipping them with organizers for easy storage. These can include baskets, containers, shelves, and fabric dividers, as well as pull-out jewelry drawers, clothes rails, or underwear containers. Additional shelf lighting, including energy-efficient lamps and LED strips, will highlight the stored items. You'll quickly find what you're looking for.

Combining wardrobes with chests of drawers and shelves - full functionality

When designing a comfortable dressing room, you can choose a ready-made furniture set or assemble your own. At Furnitop.co.uk, you'll find versatile wardrobes with storage units and other interior amenities, as well as adjustable chests of drawers, shelves, and cabinets that can be part of a larger bedroom set. An example is the BONEY7 collection in a warm shade of artisan oak. The set includes a bed, two bedside tables, a chest of drawers, and a large two-door wardrobe measuring 202 cm wide. The entire set is made of durable, wear-resistant laminated furniture board. The furniture will perfectly complement a bedroom in the spirit of boho, Scandinavian, soft loft, rustic, and many other styles. This timeless set combines the functions of a bedroom with a dressing room, creating an incredibly cozy interior.

Layout and planning of the dressing room space

How to plan your zone: clothes, shoes, accessories

A bedroom with a hidden wardrobe, an open-plan layout, or perhaps a timeless bedroom furniture set with storage? Regardless of your choice, carefully plan your wardrobe, dividing it into storage zones:

• underwear and everyday clothing that you reach for most often
• clothes for special occasions, seasonal clothing
• shoes, haberdashery and styling accessories
• optional – home textiles, bed linen, tablecloths, towels.

It's important to protect stored items from damage and dust. Shoe organizers, fabric bags for handbags, and a pull-out drawer for jewelry, cufflinks, bow ties, and more will come in handy. Clothes rails and hangers are also essential. These will help prevent shirts, dresses, and coats from wrinkling. If space allows, you can add a basket to your wardrobe for small accessories, sportswear, or small exercise equipment. This is also an ideal place for a spare duvet, blankets, toys, and so on.

Lighting - LED strips, interior lights

It is best to equip wardrobe furniture with spot LED lighting, This allows you to easily find what you're looking for without turning on the main light source in the room. This energy-efficient light fixture is not only practical but also looks great. The LED strip can illuminate the contents of shelves, cabinets, drawers, and entire wardrobes. Customize the lighting system to your needs.

Mirrors and rods - details that make the difference

It's hard to imagine a practical wardrobe without a large mirror. You can choose a wall-hung or free-standing model, or a wardrobe with mirrored fronts. An example is the elegant three-door MOSSO swing-out wardrobe in a beautiful cashmere color. Inside, there are shelves and space for clothes hangers. Subtle handles and delicately milled fronts add character.

Clothes rails play a key role in any wardrobe. Whether it's a closed built-in wardrobe in the bedroom or an open storage space, a metal rail will help keep clothes organized and wrinkle-free. You can choose from freestanding, wall-mounted, or integrated hangers. You can conveniently hang a dress, jacket, or coat on the rail. You can also hang a hanging shoe organizer and other small accessories on the rail.

Styles and inspirations - how to integrate a wardrobe into a bedroom?

A modern wardrobe in the bedroom has many facets. It can be hidden, arranged in a separate space, or neatly integrated into the bedroom. In both cases, it should create a cohesive whole with the rest of the décor – both in terms of aesthetics and the colors, materials, and design solutions used. If you have a small space, you can choose the right bedroom furniture set that offers storage space. The CROSI 1 collection is worth mentioning, including a wardrobe, chest of drawers, mirror, and wall panel with a hanger and shelf. The entire set is made of high-quality laminated furniture board. This minimalist set will perfectly complement most modern-style bedroom designs.

When you're short on space for underwear, small items of clothing, and accessories, you can add an additional chest of drawers to your bedroom that complements the room's décor. Models with rounded edges, such as those from the ZYLIO collection, are currently in vogue. Their distinctive features include high metal legs and decorative milling. The cabinets feature a push-to-open function.

The most common mistakes and how to avoid them

Lack of ventilation - it is worth leaving space for air circulation

Small, narrow spaces used for storing clothes and footwear should be regularly aired. Avoid cramming too many items into cupboards. Leave some space for optimal airflow. Vacuum your wardrobe regularly. You can also place a scented lavender sachet near the shelves, which will also protect the contents of the wardrobe from moths. Store clothes worn occasionally in special covers, and place shoes on shelves or in boxes.

Poorly selected door - limited access to the interior

To maximize the comfort of your wardrobe, ensure easy access to the shelves and rails. A wardrobe with sliding doors is ideal for the bedroom. A hinged model can be problematic in a tight space. Therefore, make sure that the fronts of adjacent furniture won't bump into each other and that there's enough space in the bedroom to easily open the wardrobe or pull out the drawers.
