How can you design and plan a wardrobe that meets your needs? One that utilizes every niche, offers ample storage, and becomes a stylish, modern, and beautiful element?

Top interior designers bring their rich experience and meticulous planning skills to create wardrobes that address all the client's needs. Whether it's a wardrobe for a child's room that will grow into a teen's room, a bedroom wardrobe with an open niche and a shelf that can be converted into a TV screen in the future, or other smart ideas for maximizing space and storage, these designers have solutions for every scenario.

Wardrobes aren't just for clothes anymore—they can fit into the entrance area and living room, close niches aesthetically and practically, and even serve a home office.

Riviera wardrobes, combined with the expertise of interior designers who know how to plan the right wardrobe for each client, offer practical uses that transform the wardrobe into a design piece within the space, ensuring impeccable order and less clutter. Options include floating doors with a mirrored finish, cornice opening doors with a luxurious and chic design, rustic-style wardrobes suitable for the kitchen, and classic 2-door wardrobes that add a touch of color and presence, among other designs.

Roni Shani Feldstein designed a blue shutter wardrobe for the entrance area. This classic shutter wardrobe in a bold blue color serves as the home's calling card, complementing other elements chosen for the entrance and living room, such as artwork and decorative items. The internal division of the wardrobe is customized, meticulously planned to meet all the residents' needs. Each child has a place for their bag and shoes, there’s a drawer for mail and keys, which is crucial in the home, and a miscellaneous drawer for items without a designated spot, plus ample storage to maintain order and an aesthetically pleasing space.

Bedroom Wardrobe with Wooden Shelves: In this bedroom, the residents were unsure about integrating a TV in the future, so I suggested a flexible solution: a wardrobe with a niche adapted for a TV, including all necessary electrical preparations, with a removable shelf currently holding decorative items. This provides a practical and modular idea that meets present and future needs.

Wardrobe with an Integrated Makeup Area: A dreamy wardrobe that includes ample storage and a delicate, charming makeup area with a mirror in the center to lighten the large carpentry mass. This was planned with the Riviera wardrobes team, creating additional storage units above the makeup area for secondary items not used daily. The wardrobe handles are gold-touched, creating a luxurious and stylish feel.

Black and Dramatic Shutter Wardrobe: This wardrobe includes all the storage for the entrance floor of the house, including materials for the home office. Most of the storage consists of adjustable shelves to accommodate items of varying heights, such as binders, with attention to detail for maximum order and organization.

Sliding Door Wardrobes with Shutter Design: When the room is relatively small and lacks sufficient space for a wardrobe with swing doors, I recommend sliding wardrobes. This maintains the sense of space alongside convenient operation. Incorporating mirrors also enhances the sense of space.

Wardrobe for Children's Rooms with a Mini Library: A perfect solution for small children’s rooms, combining a wardrobe with a mini library or cubby for books and toys.

Did you know? A wardrobe doesn't always have to be in the room. Here, we created an entryway to the room with a service wardrobe for a teenage girl. Since her room has many window openings, and "we had no walls" to place a wardrobe, I created an entryway that serves as a sort of open closet, "ventilating" the small room.
