Corner Wardrobes: Stylish Solutions for Small Rooms

By - February 05, 2025

Just think about it – how many times have you glanced at that empty corner in your bedroom and wondered what to do with it? Your bedroom might be already small to begin with, and this underutilised space could definitely be put to better use than just housing an indoor plant! Here’s where corner wardrobes are a game changer. These brilliant storage solutions make the best use of dead space in your bedroom, giving you valuable extra storage for your bedroom essentials.

In this blog, we’ll give you lovely ideas, tips and tricks to get your corner wardrobe design right. Let’s dive right in!

Tips for Organising Corner L-Shaped Wardrobe Designs

Ready to transform that overlooked corner into valuable storage? Here’s our take on the best ways to organise your corner wardrobes :

  • Deep corners are often hard to reach. You can maximise the use of this space by adding an L-shaped hanger rod in the corner, or a rotating carousel system that brings your clothes to you with a simple spin.
  • Good lighting is key to being able to find all your belongings easily. Add LED strips fitted to motion sensors that light up automatically when you open the doors.
  • Using white finishes inside the wardrobe will help you to find clothes easily. The bright interior acts like a natural reflector, making every item visible.
  • Make the most of vertical space in your corner almirah design by installing two hanging rods at different heights. Use the upper rod for shirts, blouses, and jackets, while the lower rod can accommodate folded trousers and skirts.
  • Use the highest shelves for seasonal items you access less frequently, like suitcases, quilts, and winter jackets.
  • Add drawer organisers and clear storage boxes to keep smaller items tidy and easily visible.
  • Think of installing a pull-down rod for easier access to higher hanging spaces, especially if you aren’t too tall yourself!
  • Double-jointed corner hinges for the shutters in the cupboard corner design allow doors to open completely and fold out of the way. You can also consider having open shelves in the corner to do away with the problems caused by the movement patterns of corner doors.

FAQs

Are corner wardrobe designs for bedrooms a good idea?

Yes, a corner wardrobe is a great way to make use of the often-unused space in the corner of your bedroom, transforming awkward angles into functional storage areas. Corner almirah designs can add valuable storage for your bedroom essentials, with their L-shaped design allowing for the best organisation of different types of clothing and accessories.

How to make the most of a corner wardrobe?

Proper planning can ensure the best internal organisation for your corner wardrobe. Think of your usage.  How do you prefer to store your clothes—would you rather hang them up, or keep them neatly folded on shelves? Install adjustable shelving to accommodate your changing storage needs over the years, and plan on adding an L-shaped hanging rod or carousel system for easy access to clothing stored in the corner.

How do you organise a corner wardrobe?

Start by zoning your corner wardrobe into specific areas: hanging space for longer items like dresses and coats, double-hanging sections for shirts and pants, sarees and kurtas, and shelving for folded clothes. Install pull-out baskets or drawers at waist height for frequently used items, and use the higher shelves for seasonal storage like winter clothes and bedding. Add hooks on the sides for belts and accessories. Drawer organisers can keep smaller items neatly organised.

How do I choose a corner wardrobe layout?

The wardrobe layout should be perfectly aligned with your storage needs and your usage. Start by assessing your clothing collection – count how many items need hanging space versus folding space. Long garments like kurtas, dresses and coats need full-height hanging areas, while sarees, shirts and pants can have double-hanging sections to maximise space. Next, think of your accessories. Do you need dedicated shoe storage, drawers for smaller items, or special compartments for bags?

Think about your daily routine. Frequently used items should be easily accessible at eye-level or within arm’s reach. Less frequently used items can be stored higher up or in deeper corner spaces. If you share the wardrobe, it makes sense to divide it into clear zones for each person.

What are the advantages of using a corner wardrobe in a bedroom?

Corner wardrobes transform often-wasted corner spaces into valuable storage areas, making them the perfect solution to increase the utility of your room. They can actually make a small room feel larger by putting vertical space and awkward angles to good use! These corner almirah designs offer flexible storage solutions with their L-shaped design. When fitted with mirrors, they can help bounce light around the room and make it appear brighter and visually larger.

How do I choose the right size of a corner wardrobe for my bedroom?

Start by measuring your corner space, including height, width along both walls, and depth. Leave enough clearance for doors to open fully and ensure comfortable movement around your bed. Consider your storage needs and available floor space – remember that corner wardrobes don’t need to be symmetrical on both walls!

Can a corner wardrobe be customised to suit my specific storage needs?

Yes of course, your corner wardrobe can be completely customised to suit your family’s storage needs! Talk to your HomeLane designer who will create bespoke solutions tailored around your requirements.

Are there any specific maintenance tips for corner wardrobes?

Regular cleaning and proper care will keep your corner wardrobe looking as good as new for years. Keep the tracks of sliding doors clean, dust-free and well lubricated to prevent sticking and ensure smooth operation. For mirrored surfaces, use organic, non-chemical glass cleaners and soft cloths to avoid streaks and damage to the reflective coating.

Check hinges and handles periodically, tightening any loose screws to prevent doors from sagging. Pay special attention to corner mechanics, especially if you have a carousel system—periodic oiling keeps it turning smoothly. Keep internal lighting systems dust-free and replace LED strips when they start to get dim.
