I have been in the process of redesigning my bedroom this week and in addition to painting, moving furniture, changing curtains and Buddhist decluttering (12 large garbage bags), I have been ducking into as many stores as possible for inspiration. On a recent trip to IKEA to see their 2010 range, I surprisingly came across something which I absolutely loved.
I associate IKEA with storage solutions combined with cost-competitive pricing (at the sacrifice of material quality) so seeing their male wardrobe range that I loved with unexpected. IKEA delivered with this one however. It contains space for everything from shoes, ties, belts, shirts, jeans and suits and the lines were sleek and visually impressive.
The shelfing panes were glass. The colour a sleek glossy black. The idea that the entire wall is dedicated to the male wardrobe with classy design and ease of use? Beautiful.
Throw in an earthy-coloured, framed-inspired mirror leaning against the wall sold me the idea.
I love these ikea mirrors. They are sturdy and well built. I have one in my living room.

BTW: I love your blog.
Great bedroom photos. We connected on Twitter. Thanks for adding me to your follow list. Interior Design is one of my passions as well.
Decluttering is one of my favourite things to do. It’s a bit like exercise, building up the motivation to start is the hardest part but once you’re finished the feeling of accomplishment is so worth it!
Thanks for the comment Audra. The design in the photos posted here are from IKEA actually but I think it’s a great starting point for designing my own bedroom wardrobe.
The male equivalent of the female shoe closet? Most definitely.
I absolutely love those photosgraphs of your apartment!! Absolutely beautiful; I love your design aesthetics.
I wouldn’t buy a house if it didn’t have a decent shoe closet. Or even worse, a good wardrobe.
