Walk-ins allow you to store and hang your clothes with extra space, and the huge
increase in consumer demand for the walk in wardrobe means they’re easier to buy and
install than ever before.
If you don’t have space in your bedroom, perhaps try converting a spare box room into a
complement any kind of bedroom scheme.
The ability to hand tailor the layout and design to accommodate your needs is a valuable
extra.
And if you don't have the space for one in your bedroom, you could always look into
converting a box room, spare room, study or loft space into a luxury walk-in wardrobe.
Chaotic but glamorous splendour Deborah Fleming, 30, is creative director at Pistol
Panties and lives in Notting Hill, West London, with her husband, Tim, a lawyer. She says:
My walk-in wardrobe is undoubtedly my favourite room in the house.
I live in a bijou cottage in Notting Hill and my wardrobe, which is about 100 sq ft, takes up
about 25 per cent of the property. I probably spend more time here than anywhere else in
the house, and I think of it as my playroom. It's filled with a lifetime's worth of my favourite
clothes, hats and shoes.
I'm a vintage fanatic and have loads of clothes from Portobello Market and my favourite
shop, Relik. I grew up in Paris, where my mother used to own a boutique during the
Seventies. Thankfully, she's a hoarder like me, so I have plenty of treasured hand-me-
downs including a shocking pink YSL silk skirt, which I love. I have more party dresses in
my wardrobe than I know what to do with, and although a lot of my clothes aren't for
everyday wear, I still love to see them on my walk-in wardrobe display.
I have a Fifties-style screen from which I hang clothes when I don't have time to put them
away properly - but the more chaotic the room becomes, the more glamorous it looks. I
have shelves filled with shoes from Lulu Guinness, Olivia Morris, Miu Miu and Jimmy
Choo.
Then there are the bags, hats and jewellery, which hang from every available space. I'm a
swim-wear designer and keep an archive of every Pistol Panties bikini I've made - these
take up an entire chest of drawers.
Because I'm in the fashion industry, I get to buy a lot of clothes at samples sales. I spend
about £ 500 a month on clothes and I can never bear to get rid of anything. 'Organised
chaos' My wardrobe is organised chaos.
I'm not into boxing and labelling, and I don't colour co-ordinate, but I still know exactly
where everything is. Each season I pack away what I won't need for the next six months
and put it into storage, which helps me to make the most of the space I have.
My husband is a lawyer and he often calls me Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City
because of my passion for fashion. He has his own separate walk in closet upstairs,
which is about half the size of mine.
However, I have very strict rules when it comes to my wardrobe and he knows never to
dump his clothes in my space - although, I have to confess, the overspill from my
wardrobe has gradually started creeping its way into his. I bought the property seven
years ago and I completely renovated it.
Having a walk-in wardrobe was high on my list of priorities. And has added a simplicity
and quality to my day to day dressing. and changing lifestyle.
