spaces. These may either be stand-alone or built-in
wardrobes. Built-in wardrobes have become the storage of
choice for a lot of homeowners because of its ability to
create more space in a bedroom due to its design. It is
neat-looking and does not have to be moved around for

design allows for limited storage only. Choosing the type of
your built-in wardrobe should not only be dependent on your
need for storage; you must remember that this is going to be
a fixed furniture in your bedroom so you must consider a
design that will be convenient, useful and durable in the

type of built-in wardrobe you can install depending on your
storage needs, existing bedroom size and design and ease of
production. The three main types of built-in wardrobes you
can choose from are:
-
Full carcase built-in

floor of the carcase, has a top and two sides, 2
doors are attached to the side panels with a hinge.

because of its simple design and may take only one
day to build. This may not be a permanent fixture so
it can be dismantled when you decide to move. This
wardrobe may not be used in bedrooms with irregular
ceilings. The storage space is limited by the set
sizes of the panels.
-

of wardrobe is built with a floor and frames
attached from ceiling to floor and from one side of
the bedroom wall to the other. The hinges attach the
doors from either front or side of the frames.

frames from one side of the bedroom wall to the
other without a back panel. It may be customized to
