Discover the key elements in luxurious walk-in wardrobes.
Custom design
“Rimadesio systems offer nearly complete customisation in terms of equipment, composition features, dimensions, finishes, and accessories, making every Rimadesio walk-in wardrobe unique. The flexibility of the systems and the availability of materials and finishes provide customers with almost infinite possibilities to select exactly what fits their space and style. This outcome is possible due to our exclusive relationship with a carefully chosen network of local suppliers and our strictly internal management of the production phase, which includes impactful technical innovations.
“In South Africa, a wide variety of customer styles can be utilised using Rimadesio products. This allows for the precise integration of design, components, materials, finishes, and accessories to deliver on the promise of something truly custom-made for each individual.”- Ramon Casadó, design director of Domum
Exceptional materials
“From walk-in closets and door-closing systems to chests, drawers, and beauty corners, the solutions in the Rimadesio Night Collection are united by a high level of attention to detail, meticulous designs, and infinite personalisation possibilities, thanks to the wide range of exclusive materials and finishes. In South Africa, popular walk-in closet systems include Zenit and Cover. For example, Zenit redefines space with its lightness and compositional versatility. The uprights, custom-made to fit the height from floor to ceiling, allow for flexible positioning of accessories, both in terms of number and height.
“The available finishes offer two aesthetic options: one with glass shelves and drawer units in matte or glossy lacquered glass, showcasing the wide variety of exclusive 70 Ecolorsystem colours, and another with accessories in melamine coal larch, grey oak, or elm, which highlight the natural lightness and unique textures of wood. Leather accessories and drawers are also a popular choice, providing a tactile sensuousness that complements and preserves the materials they reveal.” – Ramon Casadó, design director of Domum
It’s all in the details
“Play around with different materials and finishes. You can expand the current walk-in closet design by using lighter glass tints, as they make the space appear larger and reflect more light. If there is ample clearance, choose hinged doors. Sliding doors are space-saving and practical for a small bedroom design walk-in closet. If you wish to protect your privacy, use dark-tinted glass.
“Slanted shelves are ideal for displaying your expensive shoes. Include a piece of artwork featuring your favourite fashion icon to serve as a focal point in your wardrobe. The ideal walk-in closet enhances your bedroom design by striking the right balance between aesthetics and functionality.”- Elaine Mbambo, design consultant at Exotic Kitchens
Mix up storage
“As an interior designer, I recommend the following to maximise storage space: Combine open shelves, drawers, hooks, and wire baskets. Glass cabinets are designed to display accessories while protecting them from dust. Pull-out drawers help conceal the clutter of unattractive items. Maintain uniformity in hangers and hooks, as uniform shapes and sizes create a clean aesthetic.” – Elaine Mbambo, design consultant at Exotic Kitchens
Layout ideas for maximum impact
“Your walk-in wardrobe’s layout isn’t just practical – it sets the stage for luxury and ease. Choose a U-shape or L-shape design to make the most of your space and keep everything within reach. A central island adds both functionality and flair, offering drawers for essentials and a top surface for folding or displaying accessories. Adjustable hanging areas allows your wardrobe to accommodate all your items from tailored suits to flowing dresses, while ample space for both long and short garments keep everything neatly organised.” – Melanie Stein, managing member at EuroCasa Africa
Make it your own
“Personalise your walk-in wardrobe with features that reflect your own taste. By adding custom-built jewellery trays, spacious shoe racks, and adjustable hanging rods, it will allow you to make the best use of the space. Always opt for high-quality finishes and materials that echo your style, as with these personalised touches, your wardrobe will be a true extension of your lifestyle.” – Melanie Stein, managing member at EuroCasa Africa
Seamless design
“Gliss Master, designed by Vincent Van Duysen, is a versatile wardrobe system specifically crafted to harmonise and blend with any domestic environment, combining its primary ‘storage’ function with an authentic architectural vision. The Arial boiserie is exceptionally well-suited for walk-in closets, where it frames the modules of the Gliss Master wardrobe system with both elegance and functionality.” – Molteni&C
