How to choose your custom wardrobe?

A good wardrobe is one that makes the most of every centimetre of your bedroom while staying pleasant to use day to day. Here are the points to look at before you start — and how going custom changes everything.

1. Start from the right dimensions

Measure the ceiling height, the available width and the depth. A hanging rail needs at least 60 cm of depth to hang clothes facing forward. Got a sloped ceiling? Custom work follows the exact angle of the roof, where a standard unit leaves wasted gaps.

2. Decide the split between hanging space, shelves and drawers

• High hanging rail for jackets and shirts;
• Low (double) hanging rail to make the most of trousers and tops;
• Shelves for stacks of jumpers and boxes;
• Drawers for linen, accessories and jewellery.

A good starting point: 40% hanging, 40% shelves, 20% drawers — to adjust to your wardrobe.

3. Choose the decor and the finish

The decor sets the tone: light oak decor for a warm feel, walnut decor for a chic touch, plain for a contemporary look. Compare the renders directly on your piece, at your dimensions.

4. Don't forget the lighting and the handles

LED lighting makes daily life easier, and the choice of handles (knob, bar handle, or handle-free for a clean look) completely changes the style.
