Simples!
02 Research and Inspiration
These custom-built wardrobes drew inspiration from a neutral greys and rich textured wood colour palette. It also sympathised with the rooms ambient lighting, abstract art paintings and other aesthetics personal to this client.
03 Imagine
This process was organic. Maximise function (storage), respect to other period features, a neutral colours palette for longevity, and a design queue which follows a simplistic shaker style with form-over-function driving design decisions.
04 Planning
Building big-box furniture carcasses is bread-and-butter. The focus here would be on the doors styles and decoration, accessories and other front facing elements.
With wardrobe design, there has to be a clear understanding of joinery methods, but also hinge mechanisms and the infamous euro hinge. This design was focused on the Inset type, so the goal was always to allow a smooth, unified and aligned vision when all four doors were closed.
