11. Midnight Blue Wardrobe with Antique Pewter Hook Rails
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Midnight blue provides a softer, equally moody alternative to pure black. This wardrobe design combines enclosed cabinet storage with an external antique pewter hook rail, perfect for staging tomorrow’s outfit or displaying favorite garments.
How to Make It
Build a wardrobe unit featuring central cabinet doors flanked by an open end-panel fitted with vertical beadboard. Paint the entire unit a deep midnight blue. Mount a heavy cast-iron or antique pewter shaker peg rail across the open panel for hanging accessories and robes.
Tips
Paint the matching bedroom baseboards and crown molding in the same midnight blue to create a cohesive, color-drenched bedroom envelope.
Variations and Essentials
- Variations: Add small brass label holders above each peg on the rail to organize accessories systematically.
- Essentials: Wardrobe cabinet boxes, midnight blue paint, beadboard paneling, antique pewter shaker peg rail.
