Built in wardrobes can make better use of bedroom walls and unused corners, with hanging, shelving
and drawers planned around how you actually store clothes and shoes. Carpenters and wardrobe
installers can measure spaces, design internals and fit doors so storage feels neat and easy to
use. Post your job on The Quote Yard to compare quotes for built in wardrobes in your home.

Built In Wardrobes FAQs
Are sliding or hinged doors better?
Sliding doors save floor space in tight rooms, while hinged doors can give wider access to shelves
and corners. The best choice depends on room size, furniture layout and personal preference. Your
installer can talk through options while measuring the room.
Can built in wardrobes reach up to the ceiling?
Many designs can make use of full height storage with overhead cupboards. This can be useful for
suitcases, seasonal items and spare bedding. When you post your job, mention whether you want
storage right up to the ceiling or prefer a lower look.
Do I need to paint before or after the wardrobe goes in?
In some cases it is easier to paint walls and ceilings before installation, in others touch ups
after fitting are fine. Ask your tradie what they prefer for your job so you can plan painting and
wardrobe timing together rather than redoing work later.
Can built in wardrobes be added to older homes?
Yes, many older homes gain storage by adding built in wardrobes to large rooms or unused corners.
Installers can work around skirting, cornices and floors so the new joinery feels well fitted and
in keeping with the house style.
