Custom Wardrobes
A wardrobe is only as good as its insides. Canberra gets a genuine cold season, so a robe here has to hold bulky winter clothing as well as everything else, and that is a question of how the space is divided rather than how big it is. We plan the internals around what is going into the robe, build it at our Huskisson workshop and install it in one visit. Built in, walk in, or a whole bedroom wall turned into storage.

A built in robe uses the wall it stands against, so it costs the room almost nothing and it has to be made to that wall. Walls are rarely dead plumb and ceilings are rarely dead level, so a carcass built square and slid into place will show a tapering gap somewhere. We take the opening at three heights, scribe the end panels to the wall as it is, and hang the doors only once the carcass is fixed.
The internals are where a robe earns its money. We work out how much long hang, short hang, drawer and shelf space you actually need before anything is machined, then build to that split rather than to a standard one. Bulky winter coats need real long hang, boots need a section deep enough to stand in, and the things that only come out for part of the year belong up high and out of the way.
Where a bedroom is tight, a hinged door takes up floor space you cannot spare, because it needs somewhere to swing. Sliders give that back, and where the ceiling is high we run the robe all the way up and take the storage upwards instead of sideways. The trade off is that you only see half the robe at once, so the internal layout matters more, not less.
We are a builder owned joinery shop, so a robe is treated as part of the room rather than as a box pushed against a wall. Because the workshop is at Huskisson and not around the corner, everything is settled at the measure and the drawing stage: the internal layout, the door type, the finishes and the fixing. You approve all of it before a panel is cut, and the robe arrives finished.
Our wardrobes page covers the same work across the region, and you can see the rest of our Canberra joinery and cabinetry here.
Internals planned first, then the carcass built to suit them.
