Fitted wardrobe vs freestanding wardrobe
A fitted wardrobe is designed for a specific wall and can use awkward or otherwise wasted space more effectively than a standard freestanding unit. It can also be aligned with skirting, corners and ceiling height for a more integrated appearance.
Choosing the internal layout
Start by estimating how much hanging length you need compared with folded storage. Long dresses require a different section from shirts and trousers. Shoes, bags and accessories can then be assigned dedicated shelves or drawers.
Planning the exterior
The exterior can be kept simple or used as a feature wall. The best door arrangement depends on the width of the wardrobe, room circulation and the look you want. Hardware and finish choices should be made together because they affect both function and price.
Before ordering
Measure the full wall width, floor-to-ceiling height and any obstructions. Send photos from an angle that shows the surrounding walls, not only a close-up of the empty wall. That helps identify door swings, windows and other constraints.
Frequently asked questions
Can a fitted wardrobe go to the ceiling?
Yes, where the room and design allow it. Full-height cabinetry can add storage but may require more material and careful installation.
Can you work around a window?
Yes, depending on the window position and the remaining wall space. The layout should be designed around the opening rather than blocking it.
Do fitted wardrobes have to use doors?
No. Open wardrobe sections can be combined with drawers, doors or display areas depending on the design.
