Measured properly
Measurement & Planning Tips for a Flawless Fit
- 1. Ceiling check: Measure heights in all corners; use the lowest height for design and include scribe fillers.
- 2. Services: Map sockets, rads, coving and access panels; plan cut-outs and venting.
- 3. Door swing: Keep 450-600 mm clearance in front of hinged doors; if not possible, choose sliding.
- 4. Future-proofing: Allow 10-15% spare capacity; adjustable shelves keep layouts flexible.

FAQs
Common Bespoke Wardrobe Questions
What’s the difference between bespoke and modular?
Bespoke is built to your exact room dimensions and needs, including slopes and odd angles; modular uses fixed sizes with infill panels.
Hinged vs sliding: how do I decide?
Choose hinged for full visibility and classic looks; choose sliding bespoke fitted wardrobes if you are short on front clearance or want large mirrored or glass panels.
How long does a typical project take?
Design sign-off to install often runs a few weeks depending on finish, paint curing and scheduling. Set your lead times clearly in proposals.
Do I need ventilation?
Yes. Discreet vent gaps or back-panel vents reduce humidity and help fabrics breathe, especially behind external walls.
