FAQs
I take standard IKEA PAX wardrobes and transform them into built-in, fitted wardrobes that look custom-made. This means I assembly and install the PAX, then add filler panels, proper skirting and/or custom panels to make it sit flush with your wall — so it doesn’t look like flat-pack furniture anymore, but like a seamless, bespoke built-in wardrobe.
In most cases — yes. I can work with standard rooms, alcoves, sloping ceilings or awkward spaces. The important thing is that I have accurate measurements (height, width, depth), and that we discuss any unique features (windows, radiators, skirting boards, sockets etc.) before I quote you.
If a space is extremely irregular (very uneven walls, structural constraints, or major obstructions), I’ll flag that during our consultation and suggest whether a built-in Pax hack is realistic — or if a fully bespoke solution might be more appropriate.
Typically the final fitting and installation takes 1–3 days. However, total time from planning → design → build → installation depends on the complexity (number of units, custom panels, internal layout, extras like lighting).
When we first talk, I’ll give you an estimate based on your space and requirements — I aim to be transparent so you know roughly when it’ll be done.
Because I install the wardrobe as a built-in fixture, it is more permanent than a standard freestanding wardrobe. That means:
It isn’t designed to be moved around easily. Removing it may cause damage to walls or require rework.
If you foresee frequent moves or want maximum flexibility, a freestanding option may suit you better.
If you want flexibility in storage but still a clean look, I’m happy to discuss hybrid options — for example, configurations that are secure but could be adapted or partially dismantled in future.
Here’s what I ask for when you request a quote:
Approximate & exact measurements of the space (width, height, depth).
Photos of the space (walls, floor, ceiling, skirting, any obstacles like windows or radiators).
Your desired internal layout — hanging rails, shelves, drawers, shoe racks, mirrors, etc.
Any special requests or features — built-in lighting, accessories, decorative panels, door style, handles, finish, etc.
Your timeline / preferred installation date (so I can check availability).
That way I can give you a detailed and fair quote.
