Idea n°1:get out of the standards
The standard kit closet is good for only a short time. Because if you want a decor that stands out a bit, and storage adapted to what you want to put there, the limits are quickly imposed. The first idea is therefore to go for a more personalized solution, with a made-to-measure closet.
"Too expensive" , do you think? Not necessarily ! More and more brands are embarking on affordable tailor-made solutions and allow you to configure your furniture according to your space. All without having to break the bank. This is for example the case of Centimetre.com, one of the French references in this segment of affordable made-to-measure, which offers to create personalized furniture online 30% cheaper.“We often associate the notion of on -measure at too high prices. But that's not true, today many solutions offer the advantage of creating storage perfectly adapted to the available space, without reaching unaffordable prices" explains Nicolas, the digital manager of the brand.
The advantage of this idea:with a custom-made closet, you optimize storage! On the one hand, you avoid wasted spaces that a standard piece of furniture does not always fill. On the other hand, your closet is planned for what you plan to store there. This makes it more practical and pleasant to use.
Idea n°2:dress up your closet with decorative doors
An open closet with exposed wardrobe is not necessarily the most designer option. Especially if, like us at the editorial office, you can't fold two sweaters the same way! So the idea is to hide it all behind cupboard doors. And as long as they fit with the decor of the room, right?
For this, you must choose doors that match the rest of the decoration. They can blend in, by adopting the color of the walls, or bring an additional note. Matte ivory or steel blue sliding doors would work beautifully in a pastel bedroom, for example. You can also choose one color per door, or choose one with a mirror, for the essential morning check of the day's look.
The advantage of this idea:it is the doors that will give your closet its decorative touch. So might as well have fun and choose ones that give style to the room! No more off-white Ikea-style doors, give your closet a design that will make people envious.
Idea n°3:choose functional doors
We stay on the doors, but it is important if you choose to equip your closet with them:choose ones that work well. You'll thank us when you don't have to fight in the morning to close them, the fault of a twisted rail!
So make sure they last. The idea here is not decorative, but practical:doors that slide silently and without forcing, for example, it is a pleasure to use that you will undoubtedly enjoy. "It's one of the main selection criteria. Doors that do not slam, which are handled noiselessly at your fingertips and which do not work over the years, it is far from being a detail! » Nicolas explains to us, before detailing the equipment included for each Centimetre.com sliding closet door:"anti-finger trap" shock absorbers, ball bearings for silent movement, anti-derailment rails,... You will now know what to look for before choosing your doors.
The advantage of this idea:beyond its style, the cupboard is a piece of furniture that we handle on a daily basis. It is therefore better to opt from the start for design AND functional doors, which will not let you go soon or which will not wake up the whole house each time you open it.
Idea n°4:show off your wardrobe
To prevent all the contents of your closet from spilling each time the doors are opened, you have to think about it from the start so that it highlights your wardrobe. That means plenty of room for folded clothes and outfits on the hanger, to avoid creases and overflowing shelves.
We therefore think of putting more shelves if the majority of our dressing room is made up of tops and jeans that are not afraid of being folded and piled up. Conversely, dresses and coats will need a wardrobe, or even a double if there are many of them.
The advantage of this idea:a well-appointed closet saves time for storing clothes. And it also avoids ironing in a hurry because the outfit of the day was piled up in a corner. And then, you will no longer be ashamed to show the inside of your closet!
Idea n°5:accessorize the closet
For a closet that looks 100% like you, do more than choose the color of its doors. Add some accessories:a vintage box for small objects that have nowhere to go, a few photos of friends glued to the door mirror, a potpourri on a shelf,... This personalization in detail will make of your closet something more than designer storage:it will become a unique piece of furniture.
