Everything you need to know about finding a Wardrobe Builder

Wardrobes, whether built-in or freestanding, increase the storage capacity of your home and therefore its value. Wardrobes can be located in the bedroom, bathroom, laundry or indeed any area of the home that needs more storage. An interior designer will be able to help you place your wardrobe appropriately.  You have the choice between a pre-built or custom-designed wardrobe.

Considerations

• the size of the room in which it will be installed
• the depth of the wardrobe – you do not want clothing to get stuck in the doors
• that doors do not open onto the main entry door, furniture or lights
• its placement – it should not be near windows
• that it is not located over power points or light switches
• the location of decorative plasterwork – it may be worth stopping short of this so that it is not covered up or damaged
• if the walls or floors are uneven in any way
• if the wardrobe is in wet areas such as the bathroom moisture resistant board will need to be used

The Interior of the Wardrobe

The inside of the wardrobe can be custom-designed to meet your needs, or can be pre-fabricated. Common inclusions include shelves, hanging racks, drawers, baskets and shoe racks. You can even opt to have a television shelf installed, or special hat and accessory racks. It’s even possible to combine the wardrobe so that you have space for storage and space for a home office, for example.

Wardrobe Doors

There are a wide range of doors and door surfaces available for your wardrobe. You can also select between hinged and sliding doors. Hinged doors give you more access and work well in larger rooms while sliding doors are unobtrusive and save space. Surfaces include ready-to-paint, wood grain, mirror, custom wood, aluminum frames, rattan, gyprock or even painted glass.]

Selecting a Professional Wardrobe Builder

When selecting a wardrobe professional, ask to see their qualifications and references, if they are available. Ask if they provide a guarantee of any sort for the finished work. Professionals should be willing to give you a free quote.
