This is because current homes need an effective storage system. This is why you need to make plans for made to measure wardrobes that will offer an effective use of space depending on your lifestyle. You need to consult Decorguru Enterprise Ltd so that you get materials that will fit well with a designed fitted wardrobe according to your daily activities.
Made To Measure Wardrobes — An Insight
Made-to-measure wardrobe designs come in walk-in systems, sliding door systems, hinged door systems, corner systems, or alcove systems, though you get about 0.5m of extra space with a sliding door system compared to hinged door systems, considering a normal width of 600mm. Also, you get a normal width of 450–600mm, while your material of choice should be 18mm MDF, 20mm plywood, or solid wood. Decorguru Enterprise Ltd will assist in creating an efficient custom-fitted wardrobe based on understanding walk-in, or perhaps a reach-in system that fits your needs.
- Walk-in: Full-depth storage, recommended for areas above 2.5m
- Sliding door: Space-efficient, suitable when above 1.2m
ALCOVE UNITS — MAXIMIZE RECESSES FOR CLEAN L
Corner systems — turn awkward corners into storage spaces.
Key Factors to Consider
Carry out measures in 5mm increments and record removals of existing skirting, cornicing, and door opens before planning, while fixing heights of 1,500mm for long clothing, 1,100mm for short, shelves at 300mm intervals, and standard wardrobe depth at 600mm for all “Made to Measure” wardrobes, while module widths will be 450 to 900mm, and drawer heights will be 50 to 200mm for folded ranges. Cost of work will depend upon materials and work involved, between £800 — £5,000.
- Exact measurements in centimeters (nearest)
- Door type: sliding, hinged or bi-fold
- Storage mix: hanging, shelves, drawers, shoe racks
- Wood type/finish — MDF, plywood, solid wood, mirrors
- Budget, lead time, and installation access
Lighting, hardware, and robust functionality must also be considered. For lighting, use integrated LED strips with a color temperature of 3,000K for warm lighting. Also, use a 30–45kg soft-close runner and a 20–40kg shelf to prevent it from dipping. Eighteen millimeters of material will also make it robust in its entire length. Try to maintain a 5mm gap between the door and wall to keep it from becoming damp. Lastly, use sample doors to ensure that everything is satisfactory, including handles. This will definitely lower demands for modifications by 40%. This is how a custom fitted wardrobe will work effectively after its installation by Decorguru Enterprise Ltd.
- LED lighting: 3,000K strips for a warm effect
- Hardware will include Soft-Close Runners
- Panel thickness — prefer 18mm
- Ventilation: 5mm gap to rear
- Load capacity: 20–40 kg
Wardrobe Planning is Important
When designing custom wardrobes with Decorguru Enterprise Ltd, you will need to plan your daily activities and space allocation in your wardrobe as follows: 40% of overall space for hanging, 30% for shelving, and 30% for drawers in a combination of wardrobes. You will need 600mm for full hanging, 450mm for shelving, and full hanging at 1500mm and 1000–1100mm for short hanging in your wardrobe depending on your door type, lighting, and plans for flexibility.
Step by Step Guide to Designing
- Take width, height, and depth measurements to an accuracy of 5mm, recording details of skirting sockets and window reveals.
- Choose door type — options include a 700–900mm clearance advantage with a sliding door.
- Organize areas for long and short hanger storage, folding objects, and accessories.
- Choose internal components such as pull-out trays and trouser bars.
- Install LED lighting at 300–400 lux for illumination.
- Choose materials to make a custom designed fitted wardrobe that complements your interiors.

Tips for Maximizing Space
To get maximum benefit from made-to-measure wardrobes in your home, you should use flexible shelving, vertical dividers, and multi-level hanging systems, install drawers with organizers, as well as a pull-out valet or a shoe carousel in your wardrobes. You should install sliding doors in areas of limited circulation and a light, reflective interior finish in your wardrobe.
- Adjustable shelves should be fitted 25–50mm apart.
- Implement vertical stacking for seasonal products to maximize floor space usage.
- Install shallow pull-out trays 150–200mm in depth for accessories.
This maintains accessibility while enhancing usable capacity. For further optimization, group your belongings based upon usage and keep less frequently used clothing in higher or deeper slots, adding thin strips of LED lighting down either side of verticals and soft-close drawer organizers that maintain a compact appearance while ensuring smooth closure. Customizable dividers for ties, belts, and jewelry will further enhance dressing efficiencies.
- Use open fronted boxes for visibility in upper shelves.
- Use low-profile hangers to maximize hanging capacity.
- Built-in mirror doors will also do away with the need for freestanding mirrors.
This leads to a streamlined and functional custom-fitted wardrobe.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Made To Measure Wardrobes
By choosing custom wardrobes designed by Decorguru Enterprise Ltd, you will enjoy precise storage solutions for irregular walls, often gaining back 10%-30% more usable storage than with flat pack units, while lead times will take 4 to 8 weeks, and 20%-50% of off-the-shelf costs will be incurred.
Pros
- Maximizes awkward or sloped areas for storage.
- Better materials and fixtures improve longevity.
- Personalized layouts (shoe racks, pull-out rails, dividers).
- Enhancement of resale value in new renovations.
- Built-in lighting options and soft-close doors.
- Colour and finish that matches your interior scheme.
Cons
- Higher initial cost vs. ready-made wardrobes.
- Longer lead times and on-site installation required.
- Changes in design created in the middle of a build may raise costs.
- Limited ability to adapt if you relocate your home.
- Potential disruption in fitting in small homes.

Advantages of Custom Fitted Wardrobes
You also benefit from a tailored wardrobe fit that adjusts to meet your own needs, including internal layouts such as 300mm shoe drawers, 150mm accessory drawers, and full-height hanging for dresses or coats with a possible 40% improvement in organization; Decorguru Enterprise Ltd will also provide you with robust materials and custom finishes so that your wardrobe is in scale with your intended furniture space.
Potential Drawbacks to Consider
You would need to take into account greater initial outlay costs and lead times of 4 to 8 weeks, plus installation that could result in a day or two of disruption, while costs could vary depending upon materials, door systems (slide or swing) as well as fitments you choose. In reality, it is often an incorrect understanding of room measurements or a last-minute design twist that is likely to represent a source of surprise expense — so a 20/30% contingency fund is always a sensible provision. Issues may be avoided by employing skilled fitters such as Decorguru Enterprise Ltd, or considering reversible materials when planning a sale or renovation.

FAQ
Q: How do I begin designing my custom wardrobe?
A: Begin by auditing your possessions — tall clothing, short clothing, foldable articles, footwear, and accessories. Also, draft a drawing of the possible area, including areas around skirting boards, radiators, and door swing positions. Designated areas will include full-height clothing areas for dresses/coats, twin heights for shirts/trousers, tall drawers for sweaters, and shallow shelves for footwear and bags. Tailor it further by adding particular elements such as pull-out trouser rods, jewelry trays, and integrated laundry hampers. Factors such as inbuilt lighting, movable shelves, and a soft-close system will enhance functionality. To get a proper perspective and detailed insight, order a survey and 3D perspective from Decorguru Enterprise Ltd so that your custom fitted wardrobes will fit your lifestyle as well as your constraints of space.
Q: What materials and finishes are best suited for a modern custom fitted wardrobe?
A: Be material-specific when it comes to your budget, intended longevity, and desired aesthetic. You could go in for plywood or water-resistant MDF veneered for strength and a luxurious feel, or you could go for a more affordable option of lacquered MDF or melamine in several color options, or perhaps laminate for a durable and scratch-resistant surface that’s also suitable for high-traffic zones. You may also choose to include glass or mirror panels that will add a sense of depth and illumination, as well as use thin aluminum extrusions if you want a clean border. Decorguru Enterprise Ltd will assist you in acquiring samples and suggestions for suitable finishes that will go well in a modern setting while also considering all aspects of maintainability and costs.
Q: How do I make sure that a custom-fitted wardrobe is appropriately installed in a difficult or small room?
A: Start by getting a professional on-site measure to factor in uneven walls, sloping ceilings, and obstacles such as electrical sockets and pipes. Provide ventilation holes in the back of panels to prevent condensation buildup and ensure doors open and surrounding furniture is positioned together. Consider using panels that are easily modified in-house when walls aren’t straight and use sliding doors when space is a concern. Hire experienced fitters to scribe panels around skirting and sloping ceilings and complete joint lines neatly. Decorguru Enterprise Ltd is experienced in performing full-site measures and installation to guarantee a smooth custom fit wardrobe that fits perfectly.
