Does a walk-in wardrobe add value to a UK home?

Yes, a walk-in wardrobe can add value by making your home more appealing to buyers. It’s seen as a luxury feature, especially in London, and helps maximise space while adding practical, stylish storage. Though it may not dramatically raise the market price, it can help your property sell faster and stand out.

What are the disadvantages of a walk-in wardrobe?

While stylish and practical, walk-in wardrobes do have a few drawbacks:

• Space requirement: They need more room than standard wardrobes.
• Cost: Bespoke walk-in wardrobes can be expensive to design and install.
• Heating & ventilation: Poor airflow can cause damp or musty smells if not well-ventilated.
• Maintenance: Larger spaces mean more surfaces to clean and organise regularly.

With the right planning, these issues can often be minimised or avoided.

Do you need a window in a walk-in wardrobe?

A window isn’t essential, but it can be helpful. Natural light makes it easier to see colours accurately and gives the space a more open feel. If you don’t have the option for a window, good-quality lighting will do the job just as well.

What is the ideal size for a walk-in wardrobe?

A comfortable walk-in wardrobe usually starts at around 2.5m x 2m. This gives you enough room for hanging rails, shelving, and a clear space to move around. Larger spaces allow for extras like a dressing table or island, but the key is balancing storage with ease of access.

What is the minimum walkway for a walk-in wardrobe?

The walkway should be at least 90cm wide. This ensures you can move freely and open drawers or doors without feeling cramped. If you can allow a bit more, it’ll make the space feel more comfortable.

Should a walk-in wardrobe have a door?

It depends on your layout and preference. A door helps contain dust and keeps clothes fresher, and it also creates a clear separation between the bedroom and wardrobe. If you prefer an open-plan feel, leaving it doorless can make the space look larger. Sliding or pocket doors are also good space-saving options.

What flooring is ideal for a walk-in wardrobe?

Hardwood or engineered wood is a popular choice as it’s durable and stylish, but carpet works well too, adding warmth and comfort underfoot. If your wardrobe is connected to a bathroom, it’s best to avoid materials that could warp with moisture. Choose a flooring type that matches the rest of your home for a seamless look.
