Wardrobe with Gold Handles

A built-in wardrobe for a hallway: wall to wall and floor to ceiling, with grey-beige matt fronts and long brass-tone handles. The wall by the entrance is now all storage, and the hallway itself has no open shelves left.

One surface from wall to wall

The wardrobe fills the whole wall: six tall hinged doors with six top-box doors above them. The joints of the lower and upper doors line up, so the front reads as an even grid rather than several wardrobes placed side by side. Floor-to-ceiling furniture also solves a practical problem: there is no top panel to gather dust, and there is an extra level for suitcases and seasonal things. At the bottom the wardrobe sits on a plinth in the colour of the fronts.

Handles as the only detail

The fronts are smooth and matt, with no routed pattern. The whole design comes down to three vertical bar handles in a gold tone, one per pair of doors. That halves the number of details on the front, and a long handle is easy to grip at any height, for an adult or a child. The top boxes have no handles. Long handles combined with mirrors and fluting can be seen in the wardrobe with fluted top boxes. We wrote about how warm metal works in a calm interior in our guide to glamour style.

What is inside

The carcass interior is in a beige shade close to the fronts. The clothes sections have two rails, one above the other: jackets and shirts hang on two levels, so the same width holds twice as much. Next to them are sections with shelves over the full height. If the hallway also needs a place to sit down and take off shoes, have a look at the hallway with a wardrobe and a bench. And when there is more to store than a wardrobe can hold, a separate room takes over — as in the open walk-in wardrobe along three walls.

A wardrobe like this suits a hallway with a free wall where all the family's outerwear has to be kept out of sight. More solutions for flats and houses are on the custom furniture for the home page.
