If you are having a new kitchen, laundry or bathroom with us then you may want to take up the option of our custom cabinetry making, allowing us to also create a custom walk-in wardrobe or storage solution for your bedroom or office. As part of our other services, this then becomes much better value for money and allows you to maximise every square inch of your space in your bedroom or office. Whether it’s a walk-in wardrobe, a free-standing wardrobe, a tallboy, cabinets, drawers or just bookshelves we can utilise our cabinet-making skills for a beautiful bespoke storage solution.
We are able to make items like:
Once we know the outer dimensions we can design the interior layout of your wardrobe any way you want with draws, baskets, shelves and hanging space all customisable from almost any material you want, based on your individual needs. Modern manufacturers make a whole host of options in almost every style and size that will make your wardrobe function exactly the way you want it.
Wardrobes and similar furniture like drawers are simply cabinets and have the same design principles and benefits as kitchen cabinets. Whilst they don't usually need to be as strong, waterproof or hardwearing, the base material will still have a significant impact on its overall aesthetic appeal and cost (much like kitchen or bathroom cabinets). Here is some information on the most common types
Known for its strength and durability, oak is a top choice for wooden kitchen or bedroom cabinets, offering a budget-friendly option compared to other wood types. With a variety of styles, including white and red oak, each with its own characteristics, oak provides flexibility in design. White oak, slightly denser, is ideal for those seeking golden tones, while red oak, with pronounced grains and darker colours, caters to different design preferences. Keep in mind that oak may not be the best choice for a smooth finish due to its distinctive grain patterns.
For those desiring finer grains and a lighter colour palette, maple is a suitable alternative to oak for bedroom and kitchen cabinets. Its light colour can impart an airy, contemporary feel to any kitchen, and it can be stained to achieve a custom finish. While slightly pricier than oak, maple is less dense.
Opting for birch wood provides a budget-friendly alternative with many benefits similar to higher-end maple. Slightly darker than maple, birch can be easily stained to achieve a comparable look, showcasing fine grains. It's a durable and cost-effective choice for custom cabinetry.
As the sole softwood on this list, pine is commonly used for cabinetry due to its rustic appearance and frequent knots. While softwood is more prone to dents, pine stands out for its affordability and suitability for painting.
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is still a very versatile and cost-effective solution for cabinets. It can be coated or painted very easily and is perfect for wardrobes where you don’t need the strength or visibility of real wood. Most manufacturers offer plastic-coated options in a variety of finishes and styles too.
The choice of wood for custom wardrobe and storage solutions ultimately hinges on your preferences, budget, and specific needs. With a variety of charming options available, making a decision may still be challenging.
