  • Do built-in wardrobes need ventilation?

    Ensuring your newly fitted wardrobe has some ventilation will help prevent mould and mildew, unpleasant smells and rotting wood.

    Here are some ways to prevent moisture issues with fitted wardrobes:

    • Install air vents or leave gaps during installation

    • Keep doors open to create natural ventilation

    • Make sure clothes are dry before putting them away

    • Store shoes somewhere else to avoid damp and musty smells

    • Use smart wardrobe sensors to monitor humidity and temperature and alert you of potential mould-friendly conditions

  • How long does it take to install a fitted wardrobe?

    Installing a fitted wardrobe usually takes only one to two days.

    The installation may only take a few hours for small, simple designs. On the other hand, it might take a few days to fit large, intricate wardrobes.

    Because installation time depends on the design and build, ask how long your fitted wardrobe installation will take before the work begins.

  • Can I design my own fitted wardrobe?

    Yes, but to what extent depends on who completes the installation.

    Ready-made wardrobes can often be adapted to fit your style and needs. You can order from a fitted wardrobe company that offers customisation options.

    Discuss your ideas for a fully customisable fitted wardrobe or show your designs to a joiner, carpenter or bespoke wardrobe maker. They can draw up a plan to suit your design brief.
