Cabinetry Essentials: Planning and Spotlight on Walk-in Robes

Planning is essential!

Designing joinery should be viewed as a key component of a home’s overall storage strategy. Early identification of essential items and their designated storage locations, as well as architectural elements that need to be considered, make for a more efficient and streamlined final solution.

For our Turramurra Project, we designed this linen cupboard joinery to accommodate air conditioning vents and a laundry chute. We enhanced the joinery by lining the interiors with a contrasting timber laminate – something that will bring a smile to your face every time you open the cupboard.

Spotlight on Walk in Robes

Which camp are you in, Doors or no doors, when it comes to the joinery in a Walk in Robe?

Depending on its placement, the decision may not be as difficult as you think. If the WIR is in a separate area connected to the bedroom, there may only be a need for an entry door on the WIR space. Only you will have access to your wardrobe, so there’s no significant need to protect your clothes in this situation.

On the other hand, if the WIR is positioned in a pathway leading to a bathroom or has access to a bathroom, we suggest having doors on the joinery. This will prevent dust, moisture, and any other unwanted substances from entering the space and potentially damaging your clothes. Having an entry door between the spaces is also a highly recommended idea.
