A Headboard Space-Saving Wardrobe With Dressing Unit

We all love beds with extravagant headboards. But these headboard beds take up a lot of space in the room. So we thought of solving this problem by fueling our love for dramatic headboards and creating this bed with a sliding door wardrobe headboard. The bed uses the lower part of the wardrobe as a headboard, while the upper part of the wardrobe exhibits a modern sliding wardrobe. The sliding doors save space compared to hinged door wardrobes. The wardrobes also have an attached dressing unit by the headboard side that saves extra space in the room.

Wardrobes With Mirrors Can Multiply Your Room’s Space

If you have a small room, you can trick the room’s perception by using mirrors or any reflecting surfaces. Our space-saving wardrobe design idealist has included this rustic floor-to-ceiling wardrobe with two big mirrors. This wardrobe with attached mirrors saves space for a separate dressing unit, and the mirrors help create an illusion of extra space in the room. So, go ahead and get some mirrors on your wardrobes. However, make sure that you use big mirrors because a mirror that’s too small might make your room look like a narrow cave. Therefore, you would need to pay attention to the mirror size and also the design.
