Finding the right amount and type of storage space can be challenging if you’re into fashion or own a lot of clothes. A full-wall wardrobe offers unique, versatile storage that’s neatly arranged like a wall-to-wall closet. This storage design is ideal for anyone with a plethora of clothing, shoes, and accessories who need adequate storage without making their bedroom look and feel cluttered.
Whether you’re building a new home from the ground up or currently looking for creative ways to expand your storage, there are plenty of great ideas to get you inspired. Check out these full-wall wardrobe ideas that will help you create a stylish, functional bedroom space you’ll love.
Make it Monochromatic
This wall-to-wall closet features an earthy terra cotta color that matches the bedroom walls. This creates a feeling of calm and serenity that’s perfect for any bedroom. Notice how even the cabinet knobs are painted the same color in the picture.
A simple, monochromatic design evokes a feeling of simplicity, even if there are plenty of items hiding behind the doors. This style works well if your wardrobe features textured or raised doors and you don’t want to add extra decor or pictures. It’s also a good choice for those looking to design a simple, quiet retreat.

Make it Cozy with Dark Colors
If you want your room to look and feel like a cozy cave, darker colors are a good choice. The deep blue of this full-wall wardrobe makes the entire bedroom feel like an undersea retreat. A wall sconce right next to the bed adds lighting whenever you want to lie down and snuggle with a good book before bedtime.
TIP: Add adjustable shelves behind the doors for maximum storage and versatility.

Get Creative with Baskets
In this room, the wardrobe features a combination of storage options including open shelves. The homeowner chose to add woven baskets for a perfect place to store a variety of things like bags, shoes, and other accessories for easy access. If baskets aren’t your thing, it’s an optimal design for books, movies, and other media, too.
Intricate white crown molding in this bedroom adds a beautiful yet subtle visual contrast. The plush velvet headboard brings in a softer texture that plays nicely against the starkness of the wood built-ins and doors. A tall, ladder placed against the wall is great for reaching the upper shelves, yet it also serves as a great spot for folded blankets.

Make the Most of Every Inch
Traditional armoires are standalone furniture that can typically be moved whenever and wherever you desire. However, a full-wall wardrobe is usually attached to the wall so it stays put. In this example, there’s a bit of space above the cabinets where the homeowner added several baskets in different sizes for some charming storage and decor.
A full-length mirror resting against the wall gives you a place to check out your outfit before leaving for the day. The door handles also double as hooks for purses and tote bags. You can swap the baskets here for houseplants, artwork, or decorative items if you want to bring in a different component to the room.

Mix and Match
Full-wall wardrobes don’t have to consist of just cabinets and doors. This homeowner installed a wardrobe with added features like drawers and a built-in mirror. Not only does this make the wardrobe more functional, but it also gives it the appearance of a separate piece of furniture rather than an architectural detail.
If your bedroom is small, this design works well to substitute for traditional furniture like dressers and nightstands. You’ll also get the convenience of drawers that can come in quite handy, especially if your room doesn’t have a separate closet for clothes.

Make the Most of Lighting
In this bedroom, the full wall wardrobe boasts a gorgeous deep blue hue, lots of doors, and drawers of different sizes for maximum organization. However, what really sets it apart is the use of lighting inside. A bright LED light turns on when the door opens so it’s easier to find clothes and other items quickly.
Not only does adding light to your wardrobe save time, it’s also quite convenient. You can install simple LED light strips or USB-rechargeable lights that are motion-activated for an affordable, easy upgrade that gets functional results.

Keep Things Simple
If you have a small bedroom but want to stay organized, the simpler your wardrobe is, the better. This picture shows just a few closet doors that likely open to some hanging rods or shelving. It helps you keep things out of the way while getting ample storage without overdoing it.
Decorative handles on the large wardrobe doors help to add some texture and a fun, modern touch. This is a simple system that makes keeping your bedroom tidy easy without sacrificing style. A big window next to the bed brings in lots of natural light to make the smaller room look and feel larger.

Incorporate Sliding Doors to Save Space
Sliding doors like a barn door or pocket door can help make any room larger. It’s also a good option for a wall-to-wall closet if the door leads to another room, like the bathroom or a living space. These doors slide from side to side rather than opening inward or outward to free up floor space.

Go Floor-to-Ceiling
In this bedroom, the wardrobe includes larger, wider cubbies above the lower cabinets that reach the ceiling. This is a perfect way to store larger items like comforters and blankets, sweaters, or even holiday decorations. If you’re adding a wall-to-wall closet like this, making the most of every square inch is the best way to get as much storage as possible.

Substitute a Traditional Closet with a Wardrobe
Instead of a standard closet or a larger walk-in closet, this homeowner chose to install a complete wall-to-wall wardrobe. Tall, slender doors provide easy access to clothes, and the light gray color adds a touch of modern sophistication. This example shows you can get the storage you need without sacrificing space or style.
