Walk-in wardrobes in New Malden
Most designs start with the hanging. Full-length hanging takes coats, dresses and long garments, while double hanging, one rail above another, fits shirts and jackets into half the height. We plan the mix around what you actually wear. Most enquiries start with a calmer, clearer bedroom and room for a growing wardrobe; the furniture is made from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish.
Many 1930s houses have had a loft conversion, adding a bedroom under a sloping ceiling, and that slope can be used for storage built to the angle. Around New Malden, interwar houses, semis and detached homes make up a large part of the housing. We work in lofts that are already converted, and the furniture is scribed to the slope and the walls.
Everything we agree during the design visit goes into the written quote: the layout and internal fittings, the materials and the finish. If you’d like to change anything, it is easier before the furniture is made.

Walk-in wardrobes for homes in New Malden
About 40% of the homes in the area around New Malden went up between 1919 and 1939, and about 24% before 1919, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. Each era brings its own kind of wall, ceiling height and floor, so it shapes the design from the first measurement. The centre of New Malden is within about a quarter of a mile of the Groves Conservation Area. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If you’re unsure, check with the council before work starts. About 40% of homes in the area around New Malden date from between 1919 and 1939, based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. Houses from that era often have a box room over the stairs, with a raised bulkhead in the floor, a good spot for fitted furniture built around the bulkhead.
If your children go to Christ Church New Malden CofE Primary School or a school nearby, walk-in wardrobes in a child’s room can be planned so the inside layout changes as they grow. The wider area includes historic houses like Southside House, about 1.6 miles north-east. For a period home anywhere nearby, solid external walls can be cold, so ventilation behind walk-in wardrobes is part of the design.
New Malden is about 2 miles north-west of Kingston upon Thames, within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. New Malden is part of the area we cover. New Malden is one of 16 places on our list for Kingston upon Thames.
Design visits and fitting in KT3, KT1 and SW20 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include High Street, Ashcombe Square and Melrose Gardens, and homes on each of them are within our area for walk-in wardrobes. The B283 runs close to New Malden; on busy main roads, unloading walk-in wardrobes takes a little planning. We also cover Motspur Park (1 mile north-east), West Barnes (1 mile east), Norbiton (1 mile north-west), Coombe (1 mile north) and Raynes Park (1 mile east).

Is bespoke worth it?
If you are likely to move soon, standalone furniture you can take with you may suit better. How long you’ll stay is worth weighing up before you decide. Even in a 1930s house, walls and floors are not perfectly true, so standalone furniture can still lean or leave gaps. Fitted furniture is scribed and levelled on site.
Every room is priced on its own, because size, layout and finish change from job to job. A spray finish and a hand-painted finish involve different work, and that shows in the price. You will see the figure in your written quote, after the design visit.
Why us?
- Finished by spray or by hand
- A design visit, then a written quote
- Edges scribed to follow your walls
- Made in our workshop, then fitted in your home

Common questions about walk-in wardrobes
Do I need permission for fitted furniture in a conservation area?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house does not normally need planning permission. Listed buildings are different, as works inside that affect their character can require listed building consent from the council. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
I live near New Malden station. Is that in your area?
Yes. We cover all of Kingston upon Thames and the rest of London. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit.
What does a walk-in wardrobe cost?
Because every job is different, the cost is set out in a written quote after the visit. The size of the room, the layout and the finish all make a difference. For a design visit, get in touch through our contact form.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it, and it is agreed with you before painting. Whichever finish you pick, it is in the colour you’ve chosen.
Can a walk-in wardrobe be part of a bedroom?
Yes. A run of units can define a dressing area, while any new walls are for your builder.
Do I need doors on a walk-in wardrobe?
Either works. Doors give a tidy look and help keep dust away, while open rails and shelves let you see everything. A mix of the two is common.
How fitting day works
Finishing comes last. If the furniture was spray painted in the workshop, we fill the fixing holes and touch up on site; hand painting, if that is what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. The finish is always the one agreed in your quote. If you have a driveway, it can make unloading simpler, so let us know during the design visit. Otherwise, details of permits or nearby bays help. Floors and doorways are protected while the pieces come in.
- You contact us about a walk-in wardrobe or dressing room.
- We visit to plan the room and measure the way in, including stairs, landings and doorways.
- Your written quote sets out the design, materials and finish.
- In our workshop we build the units in sections from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- The units are brought in, assembled and set level. The finish is sprayed beforehand or painted by hand on site.
How to prepare
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Let us know about parking near your home
- Keep pets in another room while we work
Getting a quote
Getting a quote starts with some details: the room, rough measurements and some photos if you have them. To send them, message us from the contact page. After that, we arrange a visit to measure and go through the design, then send a quote in writing.

Boards, parts and paint
Hand-painted finish
If you’d like the units to match the room’s woodwork, hand painting on site works well.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood is strong and holds screws well, which matters for drawers and long shelves. Its layered edge can be shown or painted.
Do you need walk-in wardrobes in New Malden?
Sometimes a house changes and a room becomes spare. Many people choose to fit it out as a dressing room.
If you recognise any of these, it’s worth talking to us:
- A built-in dressing table
- Storage for clothes that have outgrown the wardrobe
- Somewhere for shoes to live
- A calmer, clearer bedroom
If you live near Beverley Park, morning light matters, so tall pieces go where they will not shade the window.
Before you choose who makes it
- Will the doors close with even gaps?
- How they deal with uneven walls and floors
- Whether the route into your home has been checked
- Whether they measure the room themselves
What affects the price in New Malden
Each piece is designed for one room, so each price is too. What affects it comes down to:
- The internal fittings
- How many doors and drawers there are
- The width and height of the space
- Where a van can park, like a permit bay or a bay suspension
There’s no price list, because every piece is designed for one room. We measure up, discuss the design and send a written quote. To start, message us from the contact page.
Getting in touch
There is no need for exact sizes or plans. It’s enough to send:
- Anything fixed to the wall that the furniture needs to work around
- Photos of the whole wall or room, including the floor and ceiling
- What you’d like to store or use the space for
- Approximate measurements of the space
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. Because every room is different, the quote comes after the design visit. For a quote, get in touch through our contact form.
