Storage that fits the wall it is on
- Sliding or hinged doors
- Fit-outs planned around what you store
- Walk-in robes
A built-in wardrobe is made to the exact width and height of its recess, so there are no gaps at the ceiling or the sides for dust and lost socks. Taking the doors to the ceiling also adds a top shelf that freestanding furniture never reaches.
Most of the value is inside. The fit-out should be planned around what goes in it: long and short hanging, shelves for folded clothes, drawers, shoes and the things that only come out once a year.
Sliding or hinged doors
- Sliding
- Best where the room is tight, because nothing swings into the walkway. Glass, mirror and woodgrain panels can be mixed in one frame.
- Hinged
- Opens the whole wardrobe at once and suits a long wall of full-height doors with bar handles.
- Mirror panels
- A full-length mirror on a sliding door saves wall space and makes a small bedroom feel larger.
Planning the inside
A good fit-out puts everyday clothes between hip and eye height, drawers where they can open fully, and the least-used things up high. The open fit-outs pictured show the usual mix: a hanging rail, shelves and a bank of drawers.
- Hanging
- Long hanging for coats and dresses, double rails for shirts and trousers.
- Shelves
- Folded clothes and linen at a height you can see into.
- Drawers
- For the small things that get lost on a shelf.
- Up high
- Suitcases and seasonal things on the top shelf.
Walk-in robes
A walk-in robe works when the room is at least deep enough for hanging on one side and a clear path beside it. The same thinking applies: hanging, shelves and drawers arranged so you can see everything from the doorway.

Can a wardrobe go in a hallway or study?
Yes. A built-in works anywhere there is a recess or a straight wall, from a hallway linen cupboard to a study storage wall.
What should I measure before I call?
The width of the wall or recess, the floor-to-ceiling height and how deep you can go without blocking a door or walkway. Note any power points, skirting or cornices in the way. A photo of the wall helps too.
