I completely transformed our walk-in wardrobe into a space that is now bright, neat, organized and welcoming with all products and supplies purchased from Bunnings.
Steps
Step 1
I started the project by removing all clothing and items from inside the wardrobe.
I then proceeded to start removing all existing metal shelving and cleaning the walls with Selley's sugar soap.
Once walls were clean, I filled all holes that were remaining from the metal shelving with Selleys Spakfilla. Once dry, I used the orbital sander to smooth over the area that was filled and then cleaned the walls once again with sugar soap.
Step 2
Once the walls were clean and dry, I started off my painting the walls with Dulux One step prep to help give the walls a nice clean under coat and to block out the existing colour.
Once this was dry, I proceeded to paint the walls with Dulux wash & wear in colour Lexicon Half.
Step 3
Once all walls were dry, it was time to start constructing the Flexi storage units. In total I built 6 of the flat pack units and one 2x2 cube unit which I found to be really easy to do as they come with easy to follow instructions and all supplies included.
Step 4
I used the supplied fittings to attach all the flexi storage units to the wall for safety. I also created a half hanging section above the cube unit using the flexi storage home solutions range and a white curtain rod from Bunnings. I added white cap finials to the ends of the curtain rod to give it a finished look. I was really happy with how this turned out and it was really customizable to fit the space we had available.
Step 5
I added a white full-length mirror to the back wall between the two shelving units and replacing the light fitting with a three light bar light which also helped to really brighten up the room.
Step 6
I wanted to create a full hanging section on the left hand side of the room and did this by using a white curtain rod purchased from bunnings (cut to size) and white flanges to attach the rod to the wall and side of the unit.
Step 7
I finished off the space by adding lots of storage baskets to help keep everything organized and neat.
Step 8
Overall, I was so happy with this transformation and being able to DIY this part of our home into a beautiful and organized space for less than $2000.
