To Loft or not to Loft- that is the Question

Don’t let overhead storage go over your head!

When designing a wardrobe or any storage unit, one has to consider so many things- we need a space to store items that are essential yet infrequently used like suitcases, shoe storage units, or a space to keep old clothes. A real savior for this instance would be loft modular wardrobe designs above the traditional closet. With under-bed storage and other concealed units adding to the storage efficiency of a room, people now have a doubt whether they should get modular wardrobe designs with a loft or not.

Advantages of Lofts

The advantages of having a loft modular wardrobe design are: 

    1. They can add storage space for items that are not routinely used around the home. 
    2. When the items are put away, they can be organized efficiently.
    3. Since they are in a lifted space, they do not occupy too much of the area on the ground. 
    4. Due to the presence of doors or shutters on lofts, it can keep the dust accumulation at bay. 
    5. They can be built above an existing wardrobe design, simply with the function of adding to
    6. the storage area.

What’s a Stylish Alternative to Lofts?

If you don’t like the appearance of a loft over a modular wardrobe design, another option you could explore is having a tall wardrobe design instead.

Within a tall wardrobe, you could have shelves and designated areas for what you are going to store.
