Wardrobe design — Stefańska Design, Łódź
A good wardrobe isn't a luxury — it's order reclaimed across the whole apartment. I design wardrobes with clear zoning and proper lighting — so daily use is intuitive and comfortable regardless of the size of the space.

Full-Service Interior Design in Łódź and Online
A complete interior design in one package — from the first call to ready-to-build documentation.
We start with a conversation about your needs, lifestyle and budget. You fill in a short design questionnaire, then I visit the site — taking precise measurements, photo documentation and analyzing the existing installations. The design is based on real data, not the developer's floor plan.
Based on the brief, I prepare a moodboard with specific finishing materials, furniture and lighting — across several price ranges. If needed, I arrange a showroom visit so you can see and touch the materials before deciding.
I develop several 2D layout options with furniture, built-ins and appliances. Each version is a different way to divide and use the space. Together we choose the best layout and approve it before moving on to visualizations.
I create photorealistic visualizations of every room with the exact materials, furniture and lighting specified in the design. The Premium package includes an AI animation showing your interior in motion.
I compile complete documentation for the renovation crew: wall drawings with dimensions, electrical and plumbing diagrams, and a full material specification with prices. Plus a cost estimate, so you know what everything will cost before work begins.
I join the meeting with your renovation crew — walking them through the design, answering technical questions and making sure the contractors understand every detail. This eliminates errors caused by on-site improvisation.
I visit the finished space and help with the final arrangement of furniture, decor and accent lighting. For those who want the end result to look exactly like the visualizations.
The most common wardrobe design challenges
A wardrobe from a 2 m² alcove
Even a shallow alcove by the bedroom can hold a full season of clothes — if every centimeter of depth and height works. It's a matter of design, not floor area.
You see everything at a glance
Open shelves, drawers with organizers and motion-activated lighting — a wardrobe where nothing gets lost and you never have to search.
Sloped ceilings and awkward spaces
An attic, the nook under the stairs, a long narrow hallway — custom cabinetry turns difficult spots into the most functional meters in the house.
A functional wardrobe — 5 design principles
Zones instead of chaos
Dresses and shirts on long rails, trousers on medium ones, knitwear on shelves, shoes by the entrance. Zoning means order maintains itself.
Dimensions that work
A minimum of 55–60 cm of depth for rails, 35–40 cm for shelves, 100 cm of walkway in a walk-in closet. These numbers decide whether the wardrobe will be comfortable.
Motion-sensor lighting
LED strips above the zones and lights that switch on when the door opens — you see the true colors of your clothes and never fumble in the dark.
Drawers and organizers
Shallow drawers with dividers for underwear and accessories, deep ones for knitwear. Pull-out racks for belts and trousers cost little and change everything.
Open or behind doors
An open wardrobe requires discipline and dust protection; a closed one — ventilation. The choice depends on the room and your habits — I design both to measure.
Alcove, walk-in or under-slope cabinetry? That becomes clear at the 2D functional layout stage — I prepare 2–3 options and we choose the best one together.
Frequently asked questions about wardrobe design
How much does a wardrobe design cost?
The design is priced per m² — from 110 zł/m². Wardrobes are usually small spaces, so I quote them individually after a free project quote. Most often a wardrobe design is ordered together with a bedroom or the whole apartment — which works out cheaper.
Is a small alcove enough for a wardrobe?
With a good design, a 1.5–2 m² alcove holds a full season of clothes for one person. The key is using the full height, the right depths and well-planned zones.
An attic wardrobe — are sloped ceilings a problem?
Quite the opposite — the low zone under the slope is the perfect place for drawers and shoes, and the high zone for rails. Custom cabinetry uses space that off-the-shelf systems can't handle.
Modular systems or custom cabinetry?
Modules are cheaper and faster; custom cabinetry uses 100% of the space and awkward angles. I often combine both: a system structure + custom fronts and finishes. The documentation lets you price both scenarios.
How long does a wardrobe design take?
A single-room design usually takes 2–3 weeks in the Basic or Standard package, depending on the number of revision rounds.
