Hinged
Individual doors can give clear access to each part of the interior when the room has enough opening space.

Choose a fitted wardrobe around your room
A made-to-measure fitted wardrobe brings the exterior, interior and bedroom layout into one design. Choosing the right type starts with the space and how you want to use it.

Hinged, sliding or walk-in?
Each option changes how you reach the storage and how the furniture relates to the room.
Sliding
Panels move across the frontage instead of opening into the room, but overlap affects access.
Sliding wardrobe guide
Walk-in
Dedicated open storage works best when circulation and drawer extension are planned carefully.
Walk-in wardrobe guideInside before outside
Plan the interior before finalising the frontage
Start with the clothes and belongings you need to store: long garments, shorter hanging, knitwear, shoes, bags and occasional items. Then consider the mix of rails, shelves and drawers.
Finish choices and door proportions should support that layout rather than conceal an unresolved interior.

Sloping ceilings and alcoves
Cabinet heights and depths can vary to follow awkward geometry, but useful access remains the priority.

Check the everyday clearances
A wardrobe can fit the wall and still be awkward to use. Check whether a hinged door meets the bed or bedside table, whether a drawer can extend fully, and whether a sliding panel leaves enough access to the section behind it.
Skirting, ceiling changes, sockets and radiators also affect the final layout. These details belong in the room survey, alongside the overall width and height.
Planning a fitted bedroom in WatfordUseful storage
Decide what belongs inside
Separate long garments from shirts and jackets, count the shoes you want to keep together, and identify which items are easier to reach in drawers. Keep frequently used storage at a comfortable height and reserve harder-to-reach shelves for occasional items.
The mix of internal fittings affects both the quotation and daily use. Compare the proposed interior drawing as carefully as the door finish.
From our completed work
Compare the details, not just the doors
Look at an overall fitted run and its interior together. These examples show different storage arrangements from our installation portfolio; they are not standard sizes or packages.
Storage behind hinged doors
Compare the arrangement of shelves, rails and drawers with the access provided by the open doors.
