Advice re walk in wardrobe

[checkedcloth]

We have a reasonable sized bedroom which would allow for a walk in wardrobe. It wouldn’t be huge, but we could have storage either side and a narrow ‘walkway’ in between.

The quote from our builder is £4.5k which includes the stud wall, pastering, some electrics and some very minimal shelving and poles. We would need to supply drawers etc

For those that have done something similar - are you glad you did? Does it work well for you? We could obviously save money by getting freestanding wardrobes (although these aren’t cheap either) but I think we could save some money.

So really interested in what others think

When we built our extension we put in a narrow walk-in wardrobe with room for two chest of drawers and two clothes rails.

It's brilliant, so nice to be able to close the door on all the clothes. I think the builders thought we were mad and we should just have a bigger bedroom but they were impressed when they saw it finished.

£4.5k though?! That's an insane amount of money for essentially just putting up a stud wall?!!

I have a walk through wardrobe (like it’s a very small hallway which leads to the en-suite) and I love it! I do think £4.5k is quite a lot. Have you looked around?

Thanks both for replying. I too like the idea of it all being stored away separately.

£4.5k is pretty much the average costs of where we are unfortunately but I will look around

We’ve just knocked two rooms into one to create dressing room with a walkway in between. We have a dressing table on one side of the ‘walkway and display shelves on the other and then opens out into wardrobe area. Absolutely love it.

My mother recently made her spare bedroom into a dressing room and won't stop going on about how amazing it is haha. She got it done by this company and said they were fairly priced considering how good quality it is!
Hope this helps xxxx

I turned my smallest bedroom into a dressing room, and used Ikea Pax units, which are brilliant, with loads of different interior fittings. It's easy to change the interiors too if you decide it's not quite working for you. I didn't put doors on, and put an extra rail at the very front of each unit to hang clothes on to air or whilst I decide what to put on. I've got shoe shelves, pull out baskets, rails, and slide out shelves for accessories. I love it.
