Short answer

Before wardrobe fabrication, decide the wardrobe position, door type, internal compartments, hanging space, drawer needs, mirror needs and access path.

Decide the wardrobe type first

Wardrobe carpentry can be sliding door, swing door, open wardrobe, walk-in wardrobe or built-in storage along a wall. Each option affects access, depth, hardware and how much internal storage can be used.

For smaller rooms, door movement is important. A wardrobe that looks good in a reference image may not suit the actual bed position, walkway or door swing.

  • Sliding door wardrobe
  • Swing door wardrobe
  • Open wardrobe
  • Walk-in wardrobe
  • Built-in storage wall

Plan the internal compartments

Internal planning should match how the wardrobe will be used. Decide hanging space, folded clothes shelves, drawers, luggage storage, accessories and any special items before fabrication decisions are confirmed.

A clear compartment plan reduces changes later and helps JBC understand the actual carpentry workload.

  • Long hanging
  • Short hanging
  • Drawers
  • Open shelves
  • Luggage or bulky storage

Measurements and access matter

Share wall width, ceiling height, skirting or beam positions, aircon trunking, sockets and door access. The site should be measured properly before fabrication so the wardrobe fits the actual room.

If existing cabinets need dismantling first, mention it early so JBC can review the demo works sequence before carpentry installation.
