In a city like Singapore, where space comes at a premium, wardrobe design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about smart, efficient living. At Loren Ng Designs, we believe even the most compact urban homes can enjoy thoughtful storage that feels seamless, stylish, and entirely liveable.

Whether you’re working with a shoebox-sized condo or a tight bedroom, the right wardrobe design can transform daily routines, reduce clutter, and make your space feel larger than it is.

Built-In for a Sleek Fit

Custom built-in wardrobes are one of the best ways to maximise tight spaces. Tailored to your ceiling height and layout, they eliminate dead space and create a clean, streamlined finish. We often design full-height wardrobes to draw the eye upward, making rooms feel taller and more expansive.

Design Tip:

For smaller bedrooms, opt for flush doors with no handles (think push-latch or groove pulls) to maintain a sleek, uninterrupted wall surface.

Multi-Functional Zones

Urban wardrobes should work harder. Incorporate multifunctional zones like pull-out trays, hidden drawers, and integrated dressing mirrors. If you’re tight on room, a wardrobe can even include a fold-out work desk or a slide-away ironing board.

Design Tip:

We always start with how you live. By mapping out your routines—whether it’s morning prep or laundry flow—we design storage that supports, not disrupts, daily life.

Sliding Over Swinging

When floor space is limited, sliding doors are your best friend. Unlike hinged doors, they don’t encroach into walkways, making them ideal for narrow rooms or corridor-style layouts. Mirror panels can double up to reflect light and open up visual space.

Use Every Inch (Yes, Even the Awkward Bits

Sloped ceilings? Awkward alcoves? No problem. We love turning underutilised corners into functional wardrobe storage—perfect for shoes, accessories, or off-season items. With bespoke carpentry, even the quirkiest layout becomes an opportunity.
