💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

Do you plan concealed storage in living/bedrooms/kitchen or only standard wardrobes?
Do you provide 3D renders showing where hidden storage is integrated?
What hardware/brands do you use (Häfele, Hettich, Blum for hidden systems)?
How is ventilation managed (esp. for shoe racks & kitchens)?
Can you give me a list of concealed storage ideas tailored to my flat layout?

⚠️ Red Flags

Designer only offers visible bulky wardrobes/cabinets. 🚩
No idea about hidden pull-out hardware.
Treats concealed storage as “extra cost” without planning upfront.

✅ Pro Tip

Concealed storage works best when planned at the design stage, not after execution.
For small 2BHKs, even 10–15 sq.ft. of hidden storage makes a huge difference.
Always use BWR/HDHMR boards + branded hardware for durability.
