Instead of the usual casement or sliding wardrobes, I took inspiration from a single Xiao Hong Shu moodboard and reimagined our bedrooms with soft arc-shaped wardrobes.
From sketches and measurements to partitions, shelving, and loose furniture, every detail was designed with flexibility in mind — future-proof for changes, extra drawers, or even kids one day. The highlight? A full-height curtain that softens the look, hides clutter, and gives us the freedom of an open concept without the mess. This project has been a journey from blank canvas to a cozy, functional space that truly fits us.
Up: curtain drawn for a seamless look.
Down: partially open to access hanging space and dresser. This setup gives the openness of an “open wardrobe” without the mess on display.
My one and only inspiration: a single Xiao Hong Shu moodboard.
Key ideas I kept—upper seasonal boxes, center dresser, curtain track, and a clean color palette.
On‑site build of the arc: layers, sanding, and edge refinement to achieve a smooth, gentle radius before paint and lighting.
Same design language, scaled to the room so circulation stays comfortable.

Upper compartments for winter clothes/bags; the circled middle pole serves as a divider between our clothes. IKEA dresser doubles as vanity + everyday storage.
