Hanging clothes

Residential architecture LondonFirst, you will want to prioritise space for dresses and long hanging clothes like suits. Start by designing for a long hang section and place shelves and drawers after. So that you can maximise vertical space, make the remaining room double hang. The average woman can use between 18-24″ of hanging room on average.

Seasonal storage

Consider seasonal storage when you design as well. For those that are pressed for space, rotate the seasonal clothes. Do so from the master wardrobe or dressing room into a secondary storage area. Boxes, suitcases and baskets work well when you need to keep seasonal goods out of the way and organised.

Sharing

Next, you should create a noticeable divide for a shared wardrobe or dressing room. This will stop future arguments about mixing clothes or crowding spaces. Women’s clothing normally needs more room compared to men’s. So, if you are sharing a space, work this into the design. But, make sure you provide enough space for all users.

Storing footwear

Last on our list is to design with extra shoe storage in mind. Compared to a man’s average of ten shoes, the average woman has forty. Ensure there is sufficient space to store them and let there be room to grow. More shoes are able to fit on a flat shelf. Furthermore, you are better off storing them heel to toe for total space functionality.
