Small Almirah design for a modular kitchen

A small almirah design is a significant part of your bedroom interiors as it keeps your bedroom more organised and exudes charm.

A small almirah design is an integral fixture of almost all Indian households. Every bedroom has at least one or two almirahs to store expensive clothes, jewellery, personal valuables, and other accessories. This style can also be built or installed in a kitchen to display kitchen appliances, organise crockery and grocery items, and more. 

Here’s a low down on the most trending small almirah design ideas for modern homeowners. Get inspired and make the best pick. 

Small Almirah for Kids Room

This small off-white matte-finish laminate almirah for the kid’s room almost merges with the white-brick accent wall and making the whole structure look cohesive. It has a unique door design with long pull handles, which creates visual interest. The wooden study table, wall art, and grey-cushioned chair perfectly contrast the overall theme of the space.

Small Wall Almirah Design

This small iron almirah design features a hinged double door with a mirror on one side. The mirror makes it easier for the person to groom themselves without going to a separate area, thereby saving effort and time. It also reflects light, which makes the bedroom look larger and brighter. The combination of olive green and white colour of the painted almirah looks quite soothing to the eye.

FAQs On Small Almirah Design

What door options are suitable for small almirahs to provide easy access & save space?

  • Sliding Doors (contemporary look | slide horizontally on a tracking mechanism | ideal for small spaces | more practical as it doesn’t obstruct traffic flow around it | provides adequate storage space).
  • Swing Doors (traditional or classic look | operate on hinges fixed to one side of the almirah and swing open | can be customised as single or double door | ideal for large spaces).
  • Folding Doors (highly versatile | mechanism of multiple panels that fold in on themselves when opened | ideal for small and large spaces).
  • Mirrored Doors (can be customised as hinged or sliding | add a sense of space in the room via light reflection | can be installed as a whole panel or integrated with other materials like metal or wood | extremely practical as they eliminate the need for a separate dressing mirror).
  • Other small almirah door design options are also available.

How do you customise the interior layout of a small almirah to maximise storage efficiency & retain personal style?

  • Create a cohesive look for your small almirah design interiors that blends well with the existing decor of the bedroom or any other relevant space by experimenting with the power of textures and colours.
  • Clear the visual clutter by properly ‘file folding’ your clothes, organising your accessories, and disposing unused boxes or ill-fitting garments. Devise an almirah cleaning ritual every six months.
  • Integrate smart storage solutions into the small almirah interiors, such as hanging rods, multi-tier hangers, built-in drawers/compartments, shoe racks, storage bins/under-shelf baskets, and adjustable regular/corner shelves.
  • Showcase the small-size almirah with the perfect lighting choices, such as inbuilt cabinet lighting, LED strip lights, or fashionable pendant lights that make finding your favourite outfits easy.

What are the Vastu tips for a small almirah design in your bedroom?

  • Position your small almirah design in the South-West direction and face it in the East/North direction.
  • Don’t put a mirror in the south-west direction of the small almirah design as it reflects negative energies.
  • A small almirah design should be painted in neutral or light colours, such as pastels, cream, beige, and white.
  • Place your small almirah with a locker for cash or other valuables in the North and ensure that it has a single door.
  • Opt for a wooden or iron almirah design as it is more sustainable, eye-pleasing and stores positive vibes.
