How much space do you need?
The realistic minimum for a usable walk-in is around 1.6 m wide by 2.0 m deep — enough for hanging on one side and a narrow walkway. A his-and-hers layout needs at least 2.2 m wide so two people can pass.
We routinely convert box rooms, loft conversions and the deeper end of a long master bedroom. If the space is too small for a traditional walk-in, an open joinery wall across one end of the bedroom often works as well.
Inside the wardrobe
Every walk-in is configured around how the owner actually dresses. We zone the space — full hang for dresses and coats, double hang for shirts and trousers, drawers for folded clothes, open shelves or pull-outs for shoes — and lay it out so the items used most often sit at eye level.
- Full-height and double-height hanging rails
- Soft-close drawer banks with glass tops for visibility
- Pull-out trouser rails, tie racks and valet rods
- Open shoe shelves or angled shoe walls
- Integrated LED strip lighting on motion sensors
Lighting and ventilation
Good lighting is the difference between a walk-in that feels luxurious and one that feels like a cupboard. We integrate warm-white LED strips under every shelf and along the top of every hanging rail, wired to motion sensors so they come on as you walk in.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need doors on a walk-in wardrobe?
- No. The open style is part of the appeal — it's faster to use, looks more luxurious, and lets the lighting work. If you need to hide clothes from view, a single sliding or pocket door at the entrance is enough.
- Can a walk-in fit under a loft slope?
- Yes — angled wardrobes are one of our specialities. We follow the rafter line, run hanging where the headroom allows, and use the low ends for drawers and shoe storage.
