About our walk-in wardrobes

A walk-in wardrobe puts all your clothes in one place, so the bedroom itself can stay calm. In a London home it often goes in a box room or spare room, or in part of a large bedroom divided off with fitted units. We plan the inside around what you own: long and short hanging, shelves for folded clothes, drawers, shoe storage and space for bags, with a dressing table if there’s room. The units can be open, have doors, or mix the two. At the design visit we measure the room, look at the windows, radiators and any external walls, and talk through how you get dressed and what you need to store. The units are made in our workshop and fitted to the walls, floor and ceiling.

Why made for your room

A box room or spare room rarely suits standard wardrobes, and doors that swing into a narrow room get in the way. Units made for the room use every wall to its full height and leave enough space to move and get dressed.

Materials and finishes

Moisture-resistant MDF
Birch plywood
Spray-painted finish
Hand-painted finish
Hanging, shelves and drawers
Shoe storage
Dressing table

We work in moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood. MDF is stable and takes paint well; birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, so it suits long shelves, carcasses and drawer boxes. Finishes are spray painted in our workshop for a smooth, even surface, or hand painted, which is easy to touch up later. The colour is agreed with you.

How it works

You get in touch and tell us about the room and what you want to store.
At the design visit we measure the room, check windows, radiators and walls, and plan the inside.
We send a written quote with the design, materials and finish.
The units are made in our workshop.
We fit them in your home and scribe them to the walls, floor and ceiling.

Before the design visit

Before the design visit, go through your clothes, shoes and bags and roughly how much of each you have. Think about whether you’d like doors or open sections, and whether you want a dressing table or mirror.

Things to know

Open or closed

Open hanging is easy to use but gathers dust; doors keep clothes cleaner and the room calmer. Many dressing rooms use doors on some sections and leave others open.

Walking space

A walk-in wardrobe needs enough room to stand, turn and open drawers. In a narrow room, units along one side may work better than both.

External walls and ventilation

Clothes kept against a cold external wall can suffer from condensation. We plan ventilation behind and inside units on external walls.

Bespoke or off-the-shelf walk-in wardrobes?

Off-the-shelf furniture suits some rooms well. Where the room has awkward sizes, uneven walls or a lot to store, furniture made for the space usually works better. Here’s how the two compare.

	Made for your room	Off-the-shelf
Size	Made for your room, to the ceiling and wall to wall	Set widths and heights, with gaps or fillers
Uneven walls	Scribed to follow the wall and set level	Gaps where the wall bows or the floor slopes
Awkward spaces	Alcoves, slopes, bays and stairs used fully	Standard boxes that leave space unused
Inside layout	Planned around what you store	A set choice of rails and shelves
Finish	Spray or hand painted in a colour agreed with you	The colours in the range
Getting it in	Made in sections sized for your stairs and doors	Flat-pack boxes you or a fitter assemble

What affects your quote

Every job is quoted for your room after the design visit, so we don’t publish prices. These are the things that shape the quote:

The size of the piece and how much of the wall or room it fills
How many doors and drawers there are, and what goes inside
The materials: moisture-resistant MDF, birch plywood or both
The finish: spray painted in our workshop or hand painted
The room itself: uneven walls, sloping ceilings, cornices, skirting and picture rails
Access: stairs, lifts, parking and getting the sections into the room

Read how it works for the whole process.

What your quote includes

After the design visit we send a written quote. It sets out:

What we’ll make, with the layout and sizes agreed at the design visit
The materials and the finish, including the paint colour
What goes inside: shelves, hanging, drawers and any special fittings
Fitting in your home
What isn’t included, such as electrics, plumbing, gas or decorating, which are for other trades
How and when the work will be done, and the payment terms

Looking after your walk-in wardrobes

Paint needs time to cure fully after it’s applied, so treat new paintwork gently at first: avoid knocks, wipe spills promptly and don’t stand heavy or damp things on new surfaces. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaner rather than anything abrasive. Hand-painted finishes are easy to touch up if they get marked, and hinged doors can be adjusted at the hinge if they drift out of line as a house moves with the seasons.

Walk-in wardrobes: common questions

Can a box room become a dressing room?

Often, yes. A box room with units on one or two walls can hold far more than a standalone wardrobe.

Can you divide off part of a bedroom?

Yes. Fitted units can form a dressing area within a larger bedroom.

Should a walk-in wardrobe have doors?

It’s up to you. Doors keep dust off clothes; open sections are quicker to use. A mix is common.

Can you include a dressing table?

Yes, where there’s room, with drawers and a mirror above if you want one.

What about shoes and bags?

Shoe shelves and space for bags are planned in from the start, sized for what you have.

Can there be a window in the room?

Yes. We plan around windows and radiators, and a window seat or dressing table often works beneath a window.

Which parts of London do you cover?

We work across all 32 London boroughs and the City of London. See areas we cover.

Do you work on Saturdays?

Saturdays are available by arrangement. Let us know at the design visit if a Saturday suits you better.
