A walk-in closet can transform your clothing storage space, whether you have a large enough bedroom to dedicate a portion of the area to building a walk-in closet or you have a spare room that can be converted into a walk-in closet. Regardless, by designing the space to fit your needs and style requirements, you can transform cluttered closets into a comfortably organized space that is practical and functional above all else.
Planning and Design
If you have a specific budget for building a walk-in closet, IKEA offers convenient solutions. On their website under Products - Planner, you have the option of BOAXEL Planner where you can design and customize your space by entering the dimensions of the area into the Planner. Then, you can choose columns, bars, drawers, and baskets in various dimensions, and materials, then drag and drop them into the Planner. According to your preferences and style, you can choose between shelves with an oak effect, white wire shelves, white metal shelves, white mesh baskets, and hanging clothes rails. Once you've added everything to the planner, you'll get a broader picture and a literal drawing of how your walk-in closet would look in reality. If you want to reconsider and make a final decision another day, you can save the designed walk-in closet in the planner, and the next time you visit the website, you can load your walk-in closet and continue designing from where you left off last time.
Choosing Materials, Equipment, and the Construction Process
If you've decided to build a walk-in closet in a specific room, the most efficient material selection solution would be Knauf partition walls. After selecting a contractor or deciding to do it yourself, the next step would be sketching and measuring the actual space intended for construction. Knauf partition walls are a convenient and cost-effective solution that also provides quality and durability. Knauf is made of a gypsum core, connected to a steel structure or metal frames, representing a stable partition wall structure. You can add additional sound or thermal insulation. The finishing joints of the structures are connected with putty, and the walls can be painted in the desired color immediately.
Installation of Shelves and Interior Accessories
Once the walk-in closet is built from Knauf partition walls, when the paint has dried, and the closet has taken on its final appearance, you can proceed with mounting the Boaxel parts for the closet. Mounting is straightforward. First, the load-bearing bars need to be placed on the walls as the supporting structure for all shelves and baskets. Once purchased, load-bearing bars in specific dimensions are the foundation of the closet, forming the structure for placing drawers and baskets according to the click system. Boaxel interior accessories are an excellent solution because they can always be supplemented or changed according to needs. You can buy just one shelf that was exactly missing at any time.
You can install a ceiling light fixture or incorporate LED strips to illuminate the space. A practical solution is to install a sensor lamp containing a motion sensor and dimming function. When entering the walk-in closet, the light turns on, and it can be set to be active for a certain period according to your needs. Finally, you can add accessories such as baskets and boxes, and don't forget about the mirror.
Building a walk-in closet will greatly enhance the overall aesthetics of the entire home and not just beautify the clothing storage space. You will have a final solution, a functional space that reflects your style.
