Arranging bedroom is quite interesting compared to designing other rooms interior. Each furniture has its own impression, including wardrobe. Bedroom is a place where personal activities happen. In addition of its function as resting place, bedroom has other function as dress up place. For this dress up activity, we need furniture called wardrobe or clothes closet.
The basic function of wardrobe is a place to keep the clothes away from dirt, germ, and dust. Other function of wardrobe is a place to keep the clothes quality, but this quality keeping depends on how we keep and put the clothes, is it well folded after ironed or only well folded without any ironing process. Wardrobe has addition function besides for clothes keeping place. It can be a furniture which can be a good decoration inside the bedroom. A good placement and arrangement of the wardrobe can make the bedroom be more comfortable and nice to see.
Probo Hindarti, an architect, said that the existence of a wardrobe can affect the splendor of a bedroom. The esthetic element of a wardrobe can be harmonized with the room, and as an addition, we can add some decorations on the wardrobe wall or glass, and on the wardrobe.
Wardrobe can be shaped as a part of the room by combining the room’s decoration and the wardrobe’s decoration. The size of the wardrobe must be adapted with the empty spaces inside the bedroom. We also need to notice about the height of the wardrobe. The height of the wardrobe can affect the balance inside the bedroom. The practical aspect, related of the height of the wardrobe won’t complicate the bedroom owner to put or take the clothes inside.
As an example, there is a wardrobe which has 2 parts, the upper part has 120x 160 cm sizes and it is used for coat, gown, and other rarely used clothes. Meanwhile, the lower part has 80x 150 cm sizes and it is used for daily used clothes. If the wardrobe has shelves, we can use it for folded clothes place, the range among shelves commonly around 40 -80 cm.
The material of the wardrobe must be a notice, too. It’s not just about the quality of the material, but also as suitability with the room design. Most of the wardrobes are wooden made, the most ideal material for wardrobe. Wood can easily be cut and shaped in any design. But there are many other replacement materials such as; MDF, multiplex, board particle, etc. We must consider the quality and durability of the wardrobe material, too.
Actually, wooden material is more flexible applied in any interior style and architecture. To keep the ethnic and natural impression, the use of dark-colored wood can be a good choice, but lighter color can be a good choice for classical or Mediterranean style.
