Measure the space
No matter what you're designing, taking accurate measurements is crucial. Walk-in robes are no exception to this. The height, width, and depth measurements should be taken with a tape measure and double-checked for accuracy. You should also measure any obstructions like beams and pillars. Lastly, you should use a stud finder to determine where the studs are. These should be measured and noted down.
These measurements will provide the foundation of your walk-in robe design, giving you a clear idea of the space you're working with. Without accurate measurements, it's impossible to know what you can fit into the space.
Have a goal
Having a goal gives you direction. Goals determine the value of one design choice over another. Though it seems absurd, ask yourself why you don't simply leave the space as it is. Your answer is probably something along the lines of "a walk-in robe looks better" or "I can store more in a walk-in robe." These are goals in their most basic forms. Even a goal as simple as providing storage is enough to inform your design to a certain degree. When choosing between two options, you'll know to choose the one that will provide more storage. Of course, goals aren't limited to simple things like these. The more specific your goal, the more specialised your walk-in robe will be to your needs. An example of a fleshed-out goal could be "I want a white minimalist walk-in robe with dedicated spaces for my shoes and dresses for under $5000." This would give you a strong basis for evaluating your design choices. Overall, walk-in robes design is far more straightforward when you have a goal for your design.
Research your options
If having a goal helps you make choices, researching your options informs you of the available choices. While you can figure some things out by yourself, you're inevitably limited by your knowledge. Even imagination and intuition have their basis in knowledge and experience. By researching your options, you can draw inspiration and broaden the range of possibilities for your walk-in robe design. There are a few main ways to research your options. The first way is to look at existing walk-in robes. There are many places online, such as Pinterest or Google images, where you can find high-quality images of walk-in robes. The second way is to search for information on popular materials and design styles. This gives you a better understanding of why and how things are incorporated into a walk-in robe design. Lastly, you can consult professionals. Interior designers and wardrobe companies are experts when it comes to walk-in robes. If they're willing to help you, they can provide a lot of valuable information.
Make the most of your budget
Finally, make the most of your budget. It's important to remember that your walk-in robe design is limited by your budget. To design the best walk-in robe possible, you need to be strategic about how you allocate your budget. As mentioned before, you want to make design choices that align with your goals. Following this principle, your budget should be allocated to get as close to your goals as possible. This means making compromises. It's about weighing how important things are to your goals against their costs. For example, you may opt for a cheaper material on something large so that you can use your preferred material everywhere else. The key is to look at the design as a whole and avoid getting fixated on individual parts. Even if something seems important, it might provide less value than multiple things that are individually less important.
