-Wardrobes in Egypt are always so bulky and take a lot of space
- Also since they are very bulky they tend to injure the children
- Parents are not able to buy a wardrobe separately, they need to buy the whole room so that ends up costing a lot so children dont get to change their room that often and end up hating the room and not wanting to tidy the wardrobe.
- when choosing an outfit the kids always end up throwing all their clothes on the floor

How to make the wardrobe SAFER?

·      Put child lock

·      Make it curvy with flat surface without sharp edges

·      Material used in building the wardrobe up should be light as for the kids if they hit themselves to it or something the casualties won’t be as dramatic as it will be if the material used was a hard one.

·      The knobs shouldn’t be sharp nor edgy nor pointy

·      Sliding doors slide slowly

·      Safety rubbers, no finger size places for kids to tuck their fingers in

·      If I am a short person, I need the place to be spacious in order to be clear for me to see the whole wardrobe

How to make the wardrobe ENTERTAINING?

·      Make accessible drawers/shelves for the kids to put their toys in

·      Make a game to be played on the sides of the wardrobe, like snake and ladder for instance to be played with magnetic pieces

·      Somewhere where they can express themselves, for instance, board where they can write the to-do-list, doodle, draw, or even express their feelings

·      Creative mirrors, with engravings and stickers of super heroes or motivational quotes, spiritual quotes

·      Help them with color coding (ROYGBIV)

·      PLAY WITH LIGHTS

How to make the wardrobe EDUCATIONAL?

·      Integrate the desk/studying space within the wardrobe as to make them feel that this isn’t just a space where we can

·      Integrate numbers to help them in counting, with shapes and patterns in the drawers, as it could be turned into a playing area later on

it costs a fortune to upgrade wardrobes because kids like themed ones and those come in sets which costs a fortune.
Kids quickly need different sizes of wardrobes because of how fast they grow and their need for more clothes increases as they grow up.
Sometimes we have to re-paint the room because the only room-set that has the theme he (the kid) wants is a completely different color to the room.
When we had our second child we had two options, throw out the entire old room and create a new room with a larger wardrobe and the addition of a crib or just add a small chest of drawers that was bought for an infant therefore was very different from the rest of the room and my son completely hated it.
