Wardrobes - designing a new one

We are having new wardrobes built & I'm planning what to ask for. I have lots of clothes, shoes and accessories and like a minimal look so everything needs to go away neatly. The front of the wardrobes will be white gloss and we will have a mirrored wall. Any one have any great suggestions?

TIA

I've just had fitted wardrobes put in and am thrilled with them.

What are you looking for suggestions over?

We have cream gloss doors, extra high as we have high ceilings so each wardrobe has double hanging plus a shelf at the top with another foot or so of storage above that (for suitcases etc).
We have brown edging and this is also the tops of the drawers because I was advised against getting gloss tops to the drawers, apparently they scratch easily.
We had a tie rail put in DH's section and motion sensitive lights in all hanging areas, no need for wiring, just battery operated stick on numbers.
I have 9 doors of wardrobe, 2 shelving, 6 double length hanging and 1 long hanging. I probably should have gone for 2 double length hanging (dresses mainly) with hindsight.
We also have 2x 6 drawer units which double as bedside tables.
We have plenty of space now so everything is away and looking lovely and I can go shopping to fill up the remaining space

That's helpful - thank you. I'm looking for suggestions of helpful things to have in it I suppose. Shoe racks? Shelves v hanging space etc.
