If your bedroom doesn’t have the proportions to accommodate a massive walk in wardrobe, you might be feeling a little underwhelmed by your storage options. But don’t despair, because every corner in your room has the potential to be converted into an amazing cupboard space.
With some imagination and the expertise of a professional cabinet maker, you’ll soon find yourself clutter-free and delighted by your stylish new design feature.
Here are some incredible corner wardrobe ideas that will give you maximum storage and elevate the aesthetics of your bedroom.
Choose sliding doors
Create more space with sliding wardrobe doors. Because they don’t open outwards, you can place additional furniture in front of them, giving you those extra inches to play with. In addition, choose a mirror finish to give the illusion of volume and light.
Opt for hanging rails
If you hate loads of shelving, then install a corner wardrobe filled with hanging rails instead. Use full length ones for longer garments on one side and a double layer of shorter ones for shirts and suits on the other.
Add an undergarment drawer and a shoe rack, and your clothing will be completely taken care of.
Include a dressing table
Fill the awkward corner section of your wardrobe with an elegant dressing table. It will provide a lovely space in which to do your hair and makeup.
Remember to add a mirror, accessory drawers, vanity lights and space for a stool.
Go doorless
Closing up your wardrobe can make your room appear cramped, so do away with doors and keep everything open plan and visible. It will give the look and feel of a walk-in without you needing an entire spare room. Manage your apparel with some customised shelves, hanging rails and accessory drawers.
Divide your space
Corner wardrobes are a brilliant way to divide a larger room into two sections. By keeping the door finishes uniform, you’ll be able to hide the partition, which when opened will reveal a gorgeous ensuite, home gym or study.

Build above your bed
Maximise your storage options by custom-building cupboard space around and above your bed. This will create an alcove in which you can keep linen and blankets in addition to your clothing. This concept is especially useful in children’s rooms where toys need to be accommodated.
Consider swing doors
Instead of designing your corner wardrobe with two adjacent doors in the centre that constantly collide, fit a swing door across the corner instead. They will open out to reveal a larger storage cavity which can be customised with deep shelves. Use the space for bulkier items like towels, suitcases and board games.
Add a rotating shelf
If you’re mad about your shoe collection, then install a spinning floor-to-ceiling shelving rack in the centre of your wardrobe. It will allow you easy access to all your favourite pairs and they’ll be on display for all to see. It’s a great way to get the maximum use out of a tight corner.
These fabulous suggestions will have your storage issues sorted in no time, helping you to create a beautiful new bedroom space that will blow your mind.
