Planning Your Cupboard: Smart Storage Meets Stylish Design for Modern Bangalore Homes

Your cupboard is more than just a storage unit — it’s a daily-use essential that reflects your lifestyle and helps declutter your home. In Bangalore’s modern apartments and villas, space is a luxury, making smart wardrobe planning a top priority for homeowners.

At Livwood Design Studio, we approach cupboard design as a balance between storage optimization and visual elegance. Whether you’re planning a sliding wardrobe for a compact bedroom or a walk-in unit for a master suite, here’s what to keep in mind.

Step-by-Step Guide to Planning the Perfect Cupboard

1. Understand Your Storage Needs

Before diving into Pinterest boards, ask yourself:

• How much hanging space do you need?

• Do you require drawers for accessories?

• Need a hidden mirror or pull-out laundry hamper?

• Want a dedicated space for bags or shoes?

Pro Tip: Women often need more vertical hanging space for long garments, while men may prefer stacked shirts and trouser compartments.

2. Choose the Right Layout

Livwood recommends three functional layouts:

• Sliding Door Wardrobes: Ideal for compact spaces

• Hinged Door Wardrobes: Great for traditional elegance

• Walk-in Wardrobes: Best for large bedrooms or master suites

Bonus: Modular designs allow for future flexibility — add or remove sections as your needs evolve.

3. Maximize Every Corner

Don’t ignore vertical space or corners. Use:

• Loft storage for seasonal items

• Pull-down hangers for high shelves

• Corner carousel racks for accessories

Livwood Insight: We use corner units and pull-out vertical drawers to make even dead space functional.

4. Materials and Finishes Matter

Choose from:

• Laminates: Affordable and low-maintenance

• PU/Polyurethane: Smooth and seamless with matte or gloss options

• Glass + Wood: For that modern-luxury blend

• Veneer: Warm and rich, ideal for luxury homes

Color Tip: Lighter tones for smaller rooms; dark tones or glass panels for depth and contrast.

5. Add Style with Smart Design

• Add LED strip lights inside for a luxe touch

• Opt for mirror panels to open up the space visually

• Choose brass or matte black handles for a contemporary edge
