5 Common Wardrobe Design Mistakes (And How To Fix Them!)

Your wardrobe can look beautiful and still be a pain to use every day. Wrong shelf planning, missing laundry storage, oversized shutters, and mismatched handles can turn an expensive wardrobe into a long-term regret. In this video, Ekta breaks down 5 common wardrobe design mistakes to avoid before finalising your bedroom wardrobe, along with practical wardrobe measurements, internal storage planning, shutter materials, handle selection, and the difference between sliding and openable wardrobes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎓 BEDROOM DESIGN MASTER COURSE: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Learn how to design your own home like a professional. 11 chapters, 2 hours of recorded content.

Drawers work better for T shirts, innerwear, accessories, and everyday items. Key wardrobe measurements covered: Standard wardrobe depth: 22 to 24 inches Full length clothing section: 3 to 3.5 feet Folded clothes shelf: 12 to 14 inches high, 18 to 20 inches deep Shoe shelf height: 6 to 8 inches Accessory drawer height: 7 to 8 inches 2) No Dedicated Laundry Space Most wardrobes plan only for clean clothes, so worn clothes pile up on a chair. A separate used clothes shutter works well for regular bedrooms, while a pull out hamper suits walk in wardrobes better. 3) Short Wardrobes and Oversized Shutters Unused space near the ceiling collects dust and wastes storage. For tall wardrobes, use blockboard shutters, add door straighteners above 7 feet, and divide with lofts or drawers instead of one heavy shutter. 4) Choosing the Wrong Wardrobe Handles Handles shape both function and look. A quick style match: Traditional bedrooms: wooden knobs or decorative handles Modern wardrobes: J-profile or slim aluminium handles Minimal wardrobes: push to open systems Light wardrobes: contrasting dark profiles Grey wardrobes: subtle grey toned handles 5) Ignoring the User's Lifestyle A sliding wardrobe may not suit two people needing access at once, and openable shutters can feel tight in small spaces. Handle choice should also work for elderly users and kids. Whether you are designing a new bedroom or planning customised wardrobe storage, this video helps you avoid expensive mistakes and build a wardrobe that stays practical and organised for years. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👋 ABOUT UNITY INTERIORS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm Ekta Makadia, founder of Unity Interiors, a premium interior design studio based in Ahmedabad.
