Your brief for this combination
Use this plan when discussing wardrobe planning in a semi-detached house, with more storage as the priority. The current decision point is initial brief. Confirm that these assumptions match your actual home before using the checklist.
A semi-detached home can have different light and exposure conditions across its rooms. Plan interior finishes and storage against the actual condition, rather than assuming one detail works everywhere.
Work to define: Wardrobe planning
Start with clothing quantities, hanging lengths and daily access needs. Compare the usable internals and opening clearance of the wardrobe instead of selecting only the exterior door finish.
The working deliverable is wardrobe elevation and internal storage schedule. For this property, start by resolving the following constraint: Record window exposure, damp indications and maintenance access by room.
Design for more storage
Compare usable capacity against the objects that need a home. Avoid gaining nominal cabinet volume at the expense of opening clearance or the working area.
Apply that priority to the wardrobe elevation and internal storage schedule: Count the items accommodated and record anything still without an assigned space. Discuss the result against the actual semi-detached house layout rather than treating a similar photograph as evidence that the detail will fit.
At the initial brief stage
Define the current condition and desired outcome before requesting a finished design or firm price. Use photographs, a measured plan and household requirements to distinguish facts from assumptions.
The expected stage output is: An agreed brief with retained items, priorities and information still needed. Resolve the more storage question within this record, so the priority is carried through the wardrobe planning work rather than lost between drawings, quotations and site instructions.
Four questions to resolve together
- For wardrobe planning: Which items need accessible hanging, shelves or drawers?
- For more storage: Which items remain outside the proposed storage schedule?
- For this semi-detached house: Record window exposure, damp indications and maintenance access by room.
- Before completing the initial brief: Record the unanswered site questions and assign who will clarify each one.

Property requirements and scope boundaries
Have the actual proposed alterations and existing building condition assessed by the appropriate professionals. An interior planning checklist is not structural or building approval.
Record existing condition, retained items, quantities, named products or specifications, exclusions and responsibility owners. Pricing and feasibility require the actual scope and site information. This scenario does not establish a market price or confirm that any work has been approved.
