01 — Door typeSliding or hinged doors: how to choose?
This is the first and most important question — and the answer depends on the size of your room, not on taste. Sliding doors do not take up space when opened, making them ideal for narrower bedrooms and hallways. Hinged doors give full simultaneous access to the entire contents but require 55–65 cm of free space in front of the wardrobe.
Sliding doors
Ideal for rooms where there is not enough space to open doors outward. The downside: only part of the wardrobe is accessible at any one time. For narrow hallways and smaller rooms — practically the only smart choice.
Hinged doors
Give a full overview and access to the entire contents at a glance. They require free space in front. They can look more substantial visually, but they make finding clothes much easier every day.
02 — Internal layoutA layout that actually works every day
A wardrobe that looks great in a photo but does not match your habits becomes chaotic within a week. Organise according to how you dress, not how things look on Pinterest.
Hanging rails
Long garments (dresses, coats) need 150–160 cm of height. Short garments (jackets, shirts) — 100 cm. Double rails for short clothing double the hanging capacity.
Drawers or shelves?
Drawers are better for t-shirts, jumpers, and folded clothes — everything is visible at once without rummaging. Shelves are better for bags, boxes, and items used less often. A combination is ideal.
Shoe shelves
Shelves at a slight angle (15–20°) let you see all shoes at a glance. Far more practical than flat shelves where shoes pile up one behind another.
A combination of rails, drawers, and shelves — organised by how you use it, not by how it looks.
03 — LightingLED lighting — luxury or necessity?
A wardrobe without good lighting is a wardrobe that does not work. Bedrooms rarely have enough natural light to illuminate the interior — especially with the doors closed. LED strips or spot LEDs inside a wardrobe are not an expensive addition, yet they drastically improve the daily experience.
Sensor switches that turn the light on automatically when you open the door are a standard option we recommend almost every time — costing around €40–75, with enormous practical benefit.
Include LED lighting in the project from the start — adding it later is more expensive and requires routing cables that are already concealed. The total cost of LED inside a wardrobe is €50–125 depending on length.
04 — Materials & frontsWhich material to choose?
Matt foil or lacquered fronts — clean lines, easy to clean, modern feel. The most popular choice. Mirror sliding fronts — excellent for smaller rooms as they visually double the space and eliminate the need for a separate mirror. Glass fronts (frosted or clear) — an elegant look, but they demand tidiness inside.
For the wardrobe body we always use Egger boards with an HMR core — stable even in rooms with central heating where the air is dry and temperatures vary seasonally.
05 — PriceHow much does a custom wardrobe cost?
A custom wardrobe is generally less expensive than a kitchen of the same size — there is no plumbing, no appliances, and no worktops. Indicative ranges for 2026:
Simple wardrobe (2–3 m, hinged doors)
From €750 to €1,500 — depending on the type of fronts and internal fittings.
Larger wardrobe with sliding doors (3–4 m)
From €1,500 to €2,750 — depending on door material and internal layout.
Walk-in wardrobe
A dedicated room fitted to measure — from €2,500 upwards, depending on floor area and level of equipment.
