Hanging zones
Hanging is the largest single use of wardrobe interior space. We zone it into full hang (one tall rail, ~1.5 m clearance, for dresses and coats) and double hang (two stacked rails, ~0.9 m each, for shirts, trousers and folded jackets).
Most wardrobes mix both: one full-hang bay at the end for coats and dresses, and one or two double-hang bays for everyday clothes.
Drawer banks
Drawer banks sit either at the base of a wardrobe (3 or 4 drawers, 250–300 mm deep each) or at hip height in a dressing-room run.
Glass-top drawers — clear or smoked glass over an internal LED — turn watch rolls, jewellery and folded knitwear into a display. They cost about 20% more than solid drawers; in dressing rooms they're worth every penny.
Shoe storage
Three approaches: open shelves (simplest, best visibility), angled shoe walls (vertical, displays everything), and pull-out shoe carts (hide everything behind a normal-looking door). We size by your shoe count plus 20% headroom.
Accessories — ties, belts, scarves
Pull-out trouser rails, tie racks, belt hooks and valet rods all fit into the standard module sizes. They cost £40–£120 each fitted. The valet rod — a pull-out chrome bar at chest height — is the single most useful accessory we install.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between full hang and double hang?
- Full hang gives you ~1.5 m of vertical clearance — for coats, dresses and full-length items. Double hang stacks two rails at ~0.9 m each — for shirts, blouses, trousers and jackets. Most wardrobes mix both.
- How wide should a drawer be?
- We typically build drawers between 450 mm and 900 mm wide. Wider drawers stretch over time and the runners struggle. For folded jumpers, 600 mm is the sweet spot.
- Can you add a pull-out trouser rail?
- Yes — full-extension trouser rails, tie racks and belt pulls are all standard options. They fit in roughly the same space as a single drawer.
