Wall Wardrobe System with Dressing Counter and Drawer Banks

The idea behind this wardrobe is quite good, because everything for getting ready sits in 1 place behind 2 doors, the clothes, the shoes, a counter to get ready at, the plug points and the light to see by.

Getting Ready At The Counter

The counter in the middle stands at the height for getting ready, with a white marble finish top and 2 small lights fitted in the ceiling of the niche shining straight down onto it. Beside the counter, on the back wall, there are 2 sockets. So the hairdryer, the straightener and the phone charger plug in right where they get used and nobody has to carry them to the one socket near the bed and sit on the floor. A mirror on the back wall of the niche finishes it off and most people add one there.

Where Everything Goes

• The 2 side columns are the doors themselves and their inside is lined with shelves that have a metal bar along the front, so shoes, handbags and folded clothes do not slide off when the door swings.
• The top rows under the counter are open trays, for makeup, perfume bottles and jewellery boxes that need to be seen at a glance.
• The lower rows are shallow drawers, 1 for socks, 1 for dupattas, 1 for innerwear, so nothing gets buried at the bottom of a deep drawer.

When The Doors Close

From outside, the 2 doors are charcoal with long bar handles and brushed metal edges and the sage green inside only shows when they are open. Visitors to the bedroom see a plain dark wall cabinet and the drawers, the shoes and the hairdryer cable all stay out of sight. It is also a good gift for a daughter or a sister setting up her first home after the shaadi.

Now, the wardrobe needs a full bedroom wall and our team fits it on site rather than it arriving ready to place. The doors also need room in front of them to swing all the way open, so a bed that sits close to that wall will get in the way.
