Besides having a wall of cupboards across the length of the bedroom, take a leaf from the top designers; go for an all-white look. Even when they go right up to the ceiling and stretch from end to end in a room, closets clad in white laminate will blend into the white walls for an airy, open look.

The bigger picture is not that they will look ?heavy? but that they will look boring and unimaginative. If you plan to have more than four closet panels, add some variety by breaking them up. Split one panel of the closet into two sections to create a niche or shelf space.

One example is to divide the wardrobe into two sections with a long compartment shelf that runs the length of the wall. The compartment space is ideal for displaying the owner?s paintings, books and for holding everyday paraphernalia.

However, this design works only if your clothes consist of shirts, pants, t-shirts, jeans and other items that can be folded. If you need a full-height wardrobe, this will not be suitable as the design will look half-hearted and chopped up.

If full-length storage is essential, you can position two closets at either end of the room, so that the effect will be more symmetrical and balanced.

Another idea is to set the wardrobe in the middle of the bedroom. That way, you?d be able to construct space on both sides to allow you to gain access from both sides. One advantage of this design is that you can change behind the wardrobes without being seen from the front. Highlighted with lighting panels both outside and inside, the wardrobe makes an interesting visual anchor in the bedroom-, making it as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical.
