A walk-in wardrobe is a closet space that has enough room for a person to enter and walk around, as well as store all manner of clothing. A walk-in robe can be a small walk-in robe that’s comparable to an oversize built-in wardrobe, or it can be a large room that has enough space to accommodate more than one person’s clothes and belongings, a chair, a mirror and lighting features. A walk-in wardrobe is useful because it’s a purpose-built for storing clothes, shoes, jewelry and accessories in an organized and accessible manner, something many of us can’t always achieve in standard built-in wardrobes and cupboards.

What functions should every walk-in robe have?
Every walk-in robe needs to fully cater to the requirements of the family who will be using it. If it’s a walk-in closet for mum and dad, then there needs to be enough space for both people to easily store their belongings and get dressed without feeling cramped or uncomfortable.
Your design plan isn’t limited by your budget either. Regardless whether the space you have available is suitable for a small walk in robe or a large one, get creative with what you have and come up with unexpected design ideas. Even if your budget will only allow you to use white melamine board, get creative by using wallpaper or painting the walls with a pop of color behind open shelving. This will save you money on a backing board and look great. You should also take your robe to the ceiling. It’ll give you a sense of height in a space that’s normally small. If the budget doesn’t allow you to do this, add some baskets to create visual height.
