For a couple residing in a two-storey home, grappling with significant storage challenges, their traditionally designed wardrobe was inefficient with a lot of wasted space and failed to accommodate essentials like shoes and handbags. This inadequacy led to clutter, with the wife resorting to stacking handbags and shoes in a corner, making it impossible to see all her possessions. Every morning, she ended up choosing outfits from a limited, visible pile, neglecting many excellent pieces simply because they were out of sight, shares Elite Wardrobes’ Kevin Harrison.
“This scenario is all too common among homeowners in Australia, and we understand the frustration it brings. When this couple approached us, they had already decided to break down the wall dividing an adjacent room next to the ensuite, where the small, old wardrobe was, and convert it into a spacious walk-in wardrobe. And so then started the transformation journey.”
After several design iterations, Elite Wardrobes finalised a bespoke solution that perfectly met the couple’s needs. The design featured a dressing table with a mirror, an island jewellery display drawer unit, a combination of fully adjustable full-hang and half-hang modules, and a mix of timber shelves and glass display shelves for handbags.
“Additionally, we incorporated multiple drawer box units for enclosed storage. The finishing touch was a custom colour in the wife's favourite hue, complemented by white drawer fronts,” shares Harrison. “The transformation was remarkable. We later learned that the wife would often spend hours in her new luxurious walk-in wardrobe, thoroughly enjoying her organised wardrobe haven.”
Stories like these bring Elite Wardrobes immense joy, as they epitomise Elite's mission: to transform the everyday lives of our clients, making their homes more functional and beautiful.
The benefits of a custom wardrobe system
A bespoke wardrobe is a personalised storage solution meticulously designed to fit your unique space, style, and storage needs. Unlike standard wardrobes that are mass-produced, and which come in fixed sizes and designs, a custom wardrobe is tailored specifically for you. It offers the ultimate in flexibility and craftsmanship, allowing for custom dimensions, materials, finishes, and internal configurations.
“This ensures that every inch of your wardrobe is optimised for functionality and aesthetics, perfectly complementing your home and lifestyle.”
Here are six key benefits of custom wardrobes:
- Perfect Fit: Bespoke wardrobes are meticulously crafted to fit the exact dimensions of your space. This ensures maximum utilisation of every nook and cranny, providing a seamless, integrated look that standard, off-the-shelf options simply can't match.
- Personalised Design: With a bespoke wardrobe, you have the freedom to customise every element to your taste and lifestyle. From the choice of materials and finishes to the internal layout, lighting, and specialised storage solutions, every detail is tailored to your unique requirements.
- Superior Quality: Bespoke wardrobes are often crafted from higher-quality materials and exhibit superior craftsmanship compared to mass-produced alternatives. This results in a durable, long-lasting piece that adds value and elegance to your home.
- Optimised Organisation: A custom wardrobe can be designed with your specific storage needs in mind, whether you require additional hanging space, gliding shoe shelves, jewellery display units, or any other specialised compartments. This leads to a more efficient and organised storage solution.
- Aesthetic Harmony: Bespoke wardrobes are designed to complement the overall decor of your room, creating a cohesive and harmonious look. This level of customisation ensures that your wardrobe is not only functional but also an aesthetically pleasing piece of art in your home.
- Unique Features: Investing in a bespoke wardrobe allows you to incorporate unique features that are not typically available in standard models. This could include innovative storage solutions, integrated technology, or bespoke finishes that reflect your personal style.
