Tailored Built-in Wardrobes Designed for Your Space


We specialise in designing and constructing built-in wardrobes that not only maximise storage capacity but also blend seamlessly with your interior style. Every project is individually planned to suit your space, lifestyle, and design vision.


CoreLogic’s 2024 Buyer Preference Survey found that over 60% of Sydney house hunters list generous built-in wardrobe space as a “non-negotiable” feature, placing it ahead of extras like home offices or additional bathrooms.


Custom Design Solutions


We work closely with each client to create built-in wardrobes that perfectly match their storage needs and room dimensions. Our designers carefully consider factors like clothing volume, accessory storage, and daily routines. Each wardrobe design incorporates smart storage features such as adjustable shelving, hanging rails, and specialised compartments. Optional extras include drawer systems, shoe racks, and dedicated spaces for accessories. Our 3D design service helps clients visualise their wardrobe before construction begins, ensuring the design works perfectly for your lifestyle before a single panel is cut.


Fitted Wardrobes & Custom Configurations


Fitted wardrobes are tailored to integrate seamlessly into your bedroom, alcove, or walk-in space, making the most of every centimetre. Unlike off-the-shelf robes, our fitted designs are measured precisely to your room’s dimensions, ensuring no wasted gaps. For larger projects, many Sydney homeowners install fitted wardrobes in bedrooms alongside walk-in wardrobes in master suites, creating a seamless storage solution across the home.


We offer flexible configurations, from sliding-door robes to angled wardrobes beneath sloped ceilings, each designed around your storage habits. With options for double hanging rails, adjustable shelves, or full-height cabinetry, our fitted wardrobes combine practicality with a polished, built-in look that elevates your entire bedroom.


Wide Range of Materials and Finishes


We offer an extensive selection of premium materials, including moisture-resistant particleboard, solid timber, and high-grade MDF. These materials are chosen for their durability and aesthetic versatility.


Our finish options include:

  • Matte and gloss laminates
  • Natural timber veneers
  • Mirrored surfaces
  • Two-pack polyurethane
  • Textured melamine


Each material undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure longevity and performance in Sydney's climate conditions.


Seamless Installation Process


Our installation team brings over two decades of expertise to every project, ensuring precise fitting and superior results. We handle all aspects of the installation, from initial measurements to final hardware adjustments. We maintain strict cleanliness standards throughout the process and protect surrounding surfaces. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine. Every installation includes a thorough quality check and demonstration of all wardrobe features. Your new wardrobe is backed by a 7-year workmanship warranty for complete peace of mind.

Custom built-in wardrobes in Sydney generally range from $5,000 to $15,000+, depending on the size of your space, choice of materials, and complexity of the design. Entry-level melamine wardrobes for standard bedrooms typically start from $5,000 installed, while mid-range wardrobes with mirror or glass doors and premium finishes average $5,000–$8,000. Luxury solutions—such as walk-in robes with timber veneer, integrated LED lighting, and extensive storage features—often start at $8,000 and can exceed $15,000, reflecting the level of craftsmanship and detail involved.


Key factors that influence cost include materials, features, and layout requirements. For example, melamine options remain the most affordable, polyurethane ranges from $5,000–$7,000, and high-end timber veneer wardrobes may cost $7,000–$12,000. Extras like soft-close hardware, lighting, or custom compartments can add $200–$1,000 each. Complex spaces that require bespoke adjustments or architectural integration also affect labour time. By tailoring design, finishes, and features to your needs, you can achieve a solution that balances budget, style, and long-term value.
