Closet space in a rental

Let’s talk about zones.

One of the main elements of our design process is to identify how you want a space to work for you. Understanding what your spatial challenge maybe will allow us to provide a few solutions or ideas.

With a career in the fashion industry, it’s completely understandable that sometimes your closet just can’t contain all your clothing, shoes, makeup, or accessories. Given that this project is a rental property, we suggested a few furniture upgrades to accommodate more of all these essential identity items. Let’s welcome the wardrobe zone!

Our Suggested Layout

In this strategy, we eliminated any duplicate furniture items. Since this bedroom functions as a closet and “get ready” room, we did away with the desk and introduced a make-up counter.

The red outline represents our dedicated wardrobe zone. All your clothing & shoes would live here.

A design refresh doesn’t always mean making major changes.

In this project, we emphasized reusing 90% of the furniture and relaying out the room to hit our project goals.

This is simple architectural & interior design planning at its finest. Take a look at all the layouts we created for Janette.

The Approved Layout

In this strategy, we presented a large hair, make-up, and accessories surface in addition to the wardrobe zone (shown in red).

While this layout is a bit cozier, we understood that even though Janette had an office space, she really loved having a desk in her room too. In order to free up some of the table surface, we added a second wall-mounted cubby.

I’d like to point out the 70% of this room is designed using Ikea products (most of which Janette already owned). We took this a step further by finding closet system furniture to function as her wall-mounted wardrobe.
