Built-in wardrobes designed to fit your needs
When choosing clothes, shoes and handbags, you take great care to select the best items. So, it makes sense to take an equal amount of care when storing them. Waikato Wardrobes can transform cramped, overcrowded cupboards into beautiful, functional storage so you can find what you need in perfect condition and ready to wear.
WARDROBE DESIGNERS
Our wardrobe designers are storage solution experts, and we can help you to design an attractive and functional built-in wardrobe that perfectly meets your needs and budget. See an overview of our built-in wardrobe systems below, and then contact us to arrange a consultation with one of our wardrobe designers.
Walk-in wardrobes are wardrobes that you can walk into or through. These are most commonly found in master bedrooms and incorporate a combination of rail hanging, storage drawers and open shelves. In larger wardrobe spaces, we can also include a make-up table or dressing area within the design.
Bedroom wardrobes that you cannot walk into are known as reach-in wardrobes. Reach-in wardrobes usually have swing or sliding doors, which open to reveal a built-in wardrobe system where everything is visible and within reach.
Reach-in closet systems can be wall hung and comprised of solid or wire shelving. A reach-in wardrobe may include fitted drawers, shelving, and a hanging unit to make efficient use of space as a budget-friendly option.
Teaching young children how to care for their belongings from an early age makes life easier as they grow. However, as your child grows, it's best to plan for practicality, whereby the wardrobe system can accommodate their changing needs over time, from a nursery wardrobe to a children's wardrobe and beyond.
OPTIONS
Not all of our wardrobe systems are fixed. We have the flexibility to create stand-alone and wire wardrobes for our reach-in and children's wardrobe ranges.
Stand alone wardrobes
Stand-alone wardrobes are perfect for achieving extra storage. We will take your measurements and create a free-standing wardrobe with your choice of hanging rails and shelves or drawers inside.
Wire wardrobes
A ventilated wire wardrobe system allows your clothes to breathe. Wire wardrobe shelving is a budget-friendly option, offering total flexibility in hanging lengths, shelf depths and spacing layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you come to my home in Hamilton to measure for a built-in or fitted wardrobe?
We begin by designing your built-in or fitted wardrobe using your basic measurements provided, and we recommend sending a photo of your space. This helps us create an initial design and provide a price estimate for your wardrobe. Once you’re happy with the design and a 50% deposit has been paid, we’ll arrange a professional site measurement at your home in Hamilton or the surrounding area. If you’d like an on-site consultation before your final measurements and manufacturing, we’re happy to provide one to ensure your custom wardrobe is perfect for your needs.
How long does it take to install a built-in or fitted wardrobe in Hamilton?
The timeframe for installing built-in or fitted wardrobes in Hamilton is around 2–3 weeks from order confirmation, depending on our current workload.
What’s the advantage of your fitted wardrobes and built-in wardrobes over cheaper alternatives?
Our custom-fitted and built-in wardrobes are designed specifically for your space and storage needs, unlike flat-pack or off-the-shelf options. We consider every detail, such as reach-in wardrobe returns, door types (swing or sliding), power points, manholes, and drawer clearance. Each wardrobe is measured and crafted to fit your walls perfectly, down to the millimetre. We use high-quality materials and have skilled installers to ensure your wardrobe is finished to a professional standard.
Can I choose my own internal layout for my fitted or built-in wardrobe?
Yes. We specialise in custom-fitted wardrobes and built-in wardrobes tailored to your storage needs and wants. Whether you want extra shoe racks, handbag shelves, long hanging space for dresses, or double hanging for business shirts and suits, we design every Hamilton wardrobe to suit the individual client. Unlike standard flat-pack options, your fitted wardrobe will be made just for you.
What is the optimum size for a fitted walk-in wardrobe?
A minimum width of 1800mm is needed for storage to be fitted down both sides of the space. Otherwise, we recommend an L-shaped layout. A space depth of at least 550mm is required for clothes hanging, however, the units can be from 300mm deep. A minimum unit depth of 350mm is required for drawers.
We recommend talking to us before the framing goes up to ensure you can fit everything you want into the space created by your builder or architect. Moving framing as little as 10cm can sometimes make all the difference and open up a more comprehensive range of design options.
Will there be much disruption during the installation of my fitted wardrobe?
Disruption is minimal. Please clear out all clothing and items, and remove any existing units before our installer arrives. We need clear, easy access to the installation area. Most Hamilton wardrobe installations are completed in a single day, unless it’s a large unit or a full house fit-out.
Do you provide a warranty on fitted wardrobes and built-in wardrobes?
Yes, all our melamine-fitted wardrobes and built-in wardrobes come with a 5-year warranty. Even after this period, Waikato Wardrobes is committed to customer service and will review any issues that arise outside the warranty timeframe.
