Read on to get inspired and to know what you can do with our Mila Series with your available space.

Step 1 : Know Your Space

So you've decided to add shelving units/wardrobes to your space. How much space should you use? Will it be too bulky? Will there enough space to move around?

Across the board, using a masking tape or any marking tools to allocate the space where you'd like to put your furniture, will be the best method to gauge if the furniture will work out for you. Maneuver around the markings as though the furniture is already there. Observe and have a feel if the size and the location of where you're intending to place the furniture is ideal. There are some tips and pointers that you can research on when it comes to leaving ample walking space between furnitures.

Once you've more or less decided on the suitable space to put your shelves, note the size down and have it with you when you visit the furniture store.

Pro tip!

- Take note of your wall skirting as it will leave a small space between the wall and your furniture.

- Do take note of any wall sockets and any installations that might pose a challenge. Things like air-condition and circuit breakers will prevent you from getting anything that's too tall.

Step 2 : Get Crafty with your Mila Configuration

Now that you know the available space that you can play around with, the modular Mila Open-Concept Wardrobes comes in 3 sizes that can be mix and matched to suit your requirements.
