What Is The Standard Width For A Built-In Wardrobe?

Many customers who visit our showroom often ask, what is the standard width for a built-in wardrobe?

A built-in wardrobe is designed to fit against an existing wall. It can be used either inside or outside the bedroom and is usually fitted with many shelves and drawers so you can store a variety of items.

What is the standard width for a built-in wardrobe and what factors influence this decision?

The standard width for a built-in wardrobe is usually between 1.5 and 2.5 metres. This means that if you choose to get a custom built-in wardrobe made for yourself, there are some things you'll need to keep in mind when selecting dimensions.

1. Size of your room

One factor is the size of your room: if you want to make sure that your built-in wardrobe fits in, make sure you don't go beyond the maximum width of your room—it's better to have it too small than too big!

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

2. Storage

Another factor is whether or not you want to add drawers or shelves inside your closet. If so, then you might need more space than usual, so keep that in mind. If you're planning on having a lot of clothes in your closet, then consider adding another door or two.

3. Style of doors

If you are going with sliding doors, then they will be narrower than a standard door and will fit into smaller spaces. But if you have chosen swing doors, then they are wider and need more space to open outwards without hitting anything else in your room.

How to measure for a built-in wardrobe to ensure a perfect fit

It can be tricky to get the right measurements for a built-in wardrobe. Here's how to do it:

The first step is to carefully measure the wall where you want your wardrobe installed. You'll need to know the height, width, and depth of the space so you can tell us exactly what size door we should use.

Next, find out what size wardrobe you need by measuring the length and width of your clothes hanging space (not including any clothing racks or drawers). If you're going for a walk-in wardrobe, make sure to include space for your shoes too.

If you have an existing window that you'd like to include in your design plans for your built-in wardrobe, make sure it will fit within its dimensions.

The benefits of having a custom-built wardrobe for your home

A custom-made wardrobe is an investment that can make all the difference when you're trying to maximise your home’s space. They also come with all kinds of other perks:

1. They're made to fit your space. A custom-made wardrobe will be built to fit the dimensions of your room, so it won't take up any extra space—and it'll look great!

2. You can choose from a variety of styles and finishes. You can choose from different wood finishes and different types of hardware for your custom-built wardrobe, so you can make sure it matches the rest of your decor perfectly.

3. They have built-in storage options for all of your clothes and accessories. So if you're looking for a place to store all those extra shoes or accessories you never use, a custom-made wardrobe might just be what you need.

How to choose the right style and colour of wardrobe for your home

Choosing the right wardrobe for your home is a big decision, so we've put together a few tips to help you find the perfect fit.

Style

Choose a style that fits your personality and reflects your taste. If you're feeling unsure about what kind of wardrobe would be best for your home, think about the styles that you like and try to find one that aligns with those preferences.

Colour

You can choose any colour as long as it works well in your space! If you’re looking for something light and neutral, the Wardrobe Design # 11 by Logo can be a great fit for your home.

Tips on choosing the right materials and finishes for your new wardrobe

When choosing wood, you want to make sure that it's a durable material. If you're planning to use the wardrobe as an accent piece in your room, then you can get away with using lighter wood like pine or poplar. A great design in this material is the Armadi Wardrobes by Furbambini.

If you're looking for something more sturdy, then you may want to consider using a solid oak or maple. These woods can be sanded and refinished if they become scratched or damaged over time. If possible, look for woods that have been finished with a clear coat so that they can be cleaned more easily.
