Walk-in Wardrobes in Richmond upon Thames

Bespoke or off-the-shelf?

Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.

The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. In an older room, standard units rarely manage that.

For a listed home, fixing into original features can need listed building consent. Pembroke Lodge, about 1.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area.
