Cupboards can be really handy within limited space

The most basic form of wardrobe, the cupboard is one you can go to any furniture shop and pick out. But it’s simplistic nature means there are tons of variations. You can have a basic cupboard, but you can also get cupboards with additional features like a dressing table and connected work table. They can also come in various shapes like the regular squarish or even L-Shapes.

In Bangladesh, built-in wardrobes have become very popular. This is of course a bit more expensive type of wardrobe as it needs to be built inside your house. Even if some parts can be made outside, much of it has to be made and assembled inside. The basic idea is to provide a space along a wall where your design can be implemented.

The great thing about these wardrobes are that they will be made to your liking and fit in perfectly with your home décor. The downside is that if you ever want to move, this probably isn’t coming with you in its original form. Modifications will probably have to be made, so expect even more expenses coming your way.

Sliding door wardrobes are similar to built-in wardrobes in the sense that they both need to be built and compiled inside the house. However, they also generally require a previously allocated space. These wardrobes are a lot like small but wide closets with sliding doors that function as a wardrobe. With enough space, you can create all the different compartments you need to fit your needs.

Walk-in

The dream wardrobe setup of anyone is a walk-in wardrobe. This is basically a modified and customized closet for all your clothes, shoes and apparel that you can walk around in.

No matter the type of wardrobe you get for yourself, your goal is to store your clothes and accessories if you have compartments for it. You may have a cosy room that a regular cupboard would look perfect in or a walk-in wardrobe big enough for a bike, but if it doesn’t fit your needs, what’s the point. The primary focus should be on getting a wardrobe that suites your needs; nothing too big and nothing too small. So pick from one of these types of wardrobes before having fun with all the different designs that you can throw on.
