Shoes aren't just part of Cecilia Blanken’s wardrobe. They’re part of her life. As a fashion and footwear entrepreneur, she has accumulated quite a collection over the years. When the family completely renovated their new house, a walk-in wardrobe was high on their wish list. And when it came to planning the storage, they chose Elfa once again.
In her previous home, Cecilia chose a dark Elfa interior. For her new wardrobe, she opted for Décor+ in white, creating a bright backdrop that lets her colourful clothes, shoes and accessories take centre stage.
For Cecilia, a well-designed wardrobe is all about having a clear overview of what she owns while making the most of the available space.
“I was so happy with Elfa in our previous house that choosing it again felt completely natural. I have a lot of clothes, shoes and accessories, and I like being able to see what I have. What I love is that you can adapt the storage to your own needs and create space for everything in a way that’s both practical and stylish.”
Of course, making room for shoes was an important part of the planning. Cecilia works with footwear and has built up an extensive collection, from everyday favourites to statement pairs she loves to display. The wardrobe therefore features several types of shoe storage, making it easy to adapt the solution to different styles of shoes and how often they are worn.
“I have a lot of shoes, so it’s important to have storage that gives me enough space while making it easy to see what I have. Some shoes look great displayed on shelves, while others are better suited to pull-out shoe storage. It’s practical, but it also feels a little like having my own shoe shop at home.”
