Plan a Fitted Wardrobe Around What You Own

A fitted wardrobe works when the internal storage matches the household. Count long garments, shirts, folded clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. Note which items need daily access and which can sit on higher seasonal shelves.

Measure Design helps you turn those choices into a wardrobe concept. It is a planning tool, not a substitute for a technical survey or final manufacturing drawings.

• •Double-hanging rails for shorter garments where vertical space allows
• •A full-length hanging section for dresses, coats and longer clothing
• •Adjustable shelving and deep drawers for folded items
• •Pull-out shoe racks, trouser racks, valet rods and accessory organisers
• •High-level shelving for suitcases and seasonal storage
• •A laundry hamper or dedicated zones where they suit the available space

Sliding doors save door-swing space but restrict how much of the wardrobe is open at once. Hinged doors need clear floor space but can provide wider simultaneous access. Internal LED or motion-sensor lighting can improve visibility, provided the electrical route and heat management are properly specified.

Pull-down rails and easy-access drawers may help users with different reach requirements. Discuss the user’s needs with the designer or installer instead of assuming a standard height will work for everyone.

• •Width and height at several points because walls, floors and ceilings may not be square
• •Skirting boards, cornices, sockets, switches, radiators and service routes
• •Door and window openings, handles and the circulation space around the bed
• •Wall construction and suitable fixing points
• •Installation access, tolerances and any filler panels required
