A walk-in closet successful does not only depend on its size. Above all, he must match your habits, your wardrobe and the exact configuration of the room. In secondary residences and vacation homes, the volumes are often specific (sub-slopes, lofts, suites open on to the terrace), and wardrobe changes with the seasons.
Before choosing the facades or finishes, a few questions to ask the basics right and avoid wasting space.
What storage space do you really need ?
Start by observing what you have : clothes to be hung, folded part, shoes, bags, accessories or linens. The distribution between the wardrobes, drawers and shelves should be determined according to your actual needs. In a secondary home, it can also be helpful to provide a space for the business of the season, the jerseys, the pareo or outfits of the summer, so the house is ready to live with each stay.
What should we do with walk-in closets ?
Clothes short and long, do not require the same heights. A closet dedicated to shirts, jackets, and pants may be supplemented by an area high for dresses or coats.
A custom design allows you to adjust these proportions exactly, rather than working with standard modules. We mainly work with In-Ipso, a French manufacturer of storage space for compositions adapted to each piece.
Is there a dressing room open or closed ?
A walk-in closet open gives immediate access to clothing, and creates an atmosphere that is very architectural. Facades closed, bring to the contrary in a quiet room and better protect the content, which is an asset in a house frequently airy, close to the sea and exposed to the light of the south.
The two solutions can also be associated with open niches, cabinets or closed storage.
How to use angles and heights ?
The angles, under-slopes and large heights are often difficult to use with furniture standards. Custom allows you to adjust each module to the configuration of the room and to exploit the available volumes up to the ceiling.
What storage space provided for accessories ?
Small items require specific solutions. Drawers, compartments, sliding shelves, storage space shoe space dedicated to bags allow you to keep a closet organized every day.
What is the role of the lighting ?
The integrated lighting makes it easy to use the dressing room and highlights the materials. Light sources discrete system can be integrated with walk-in closets, shelves or niches without adding fixtures visible.
What materials to choose ?
The dressing room is an integral part of the room. Wood, matt finishes, glass, handles and metal details should be chosen to be consistent with the rest of the interior. Near the sea, the humidity of the air is also to be taken into account : the signs, chants, and a hardware store, quality guarantee a good performance in the time.
When the dressing room is located in a room or master suite, back to some of the materials already present allows you to create a visual continuity.
