Kids' Room Wardrobes and Storage in Gurgaon

I have interviewed four-year-olds. They give the best briefs in the house.

6:47 on a school morning. The uniform is on the top shelf. The child is four feet tall.

Most kids' wardrobes are adult wardrobes, made smaller. The child still needs a parent to reach anything.

I take the brief from the child

I ask the four-year-old what goes where. Then I ask the parents. The answers rarely match — and the child is the one opening that drawer every morning.

  • Hanging and drawers at the height a child reaches alone
  • Toys in low, open storage they can put away themselves
  • School bag, shoes and tomorrow's uniform in one bay
  • Higher shelves for what parents manage: seasonal clothes, keepsakes, the spare bedding

Designed to grow, not to be replaced

Shelves and rails that move up as the child does. A craft table that becomes a desk. In one teenager's room, the bed sits flush with a step, and the storage hides under the plank.

When homework moves in, the wardrobe and the study wall are drawn as one wall, so books, bags and screens each have a place.

Built like the rest of the house

19 mm blockboard, sealed on both sides. Soft-close channels. PU lacquer or laminate in the colour they chose. Designed, built and installed by me, from my factory in Delhi.

The best brief in the house is four feet tall.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a kids' room wardrobe be designed?
Before the child outgrows the old one. I plan the lower zones for the child now and the upper zones for the years ahead, so the wardrobe grows instead of being replaced.
Can a kids' wardrobe change as the child grows?
Yes. Shelves and hanging rails move up. Low open storage for toys becomes drawers for school and hobbies. The carcass stays.
Should a kids' room have a study unit?
If homework happens there, yes. I draw the wardrobe and the study wall as one wall, so books, bags and screens each have a place.

Tell me how old they are and what they own. I'll tell you what the room can hold now, and in five years.
