Built-in wardrobes made to measure
We build each wardrobe for a specific space, floor to ceiling and wall to wall, including recesses and areas under a sloping ceiling.
A built-in wardrobe fills space that a shop-bought one would leave empty: a recess beside the chimney, a wall under a sloping ceiling or the space above a door. Because it reaches the ceiling, dust does not collect on top, and because it is made to measure, it also follows walls that are not quite straight. It suits a bedroom, hallway, child’s room or dressing room.
When planning, we start from what you will keep in the wardrobe: long clothes, shirts, shoes, bedding or suitcases. We then set the balance of hanging space, shelves and drawers to match. In an entrance hall, the wardrobe can be combined with an open niche for coats and a bench for putting on shoes.
Built-in wardrobes
What we pay attention to
Sliding or hinged doors
Sliding doors need no space to open, so they suit narrower bedrooms and hallways, but only part of the wardrobe is accessible at a time. Hinged doors open up the whole interior but need clear space in front. When setting the depth of the wardrobe, we also allow room for the sliding track.
Interior layout
About a metre of hanging height is enough for shirts and jackets, while coats and dresses need more. Shelves are more practical for jumpers and bedding, and drawers for underwear and small items. The top of the wardrobe, which is harder to reach, is the place for suitcases and out-of-season clothes.
Fitting into an existing room
Since walls and ceilings rarely run perfectly straight, we adjust the wardrobe to the room during installation and close any gaps with scribed filler strips. Under a sloping ceiling, we make the carcasses to the pitch of the roof. If you want lighting inside the wardrobe, we agree on the wiring before installation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How deep should a built-in wardrobe be?
For clothes hung on a rail, the usual depth is around 60 centimetres, so that clothes on hangers do not rub against the doors. Shelves and shoes need less. Where space is short, we can fit a pull-out rail on which clothes hang at right angles to the doors.
How much does a built-in wardrobe cost?
The price depends on the width and height of the wardrobe, the type of doors, the materials and interior fittings such as drawers and pull-out elements. Once we have measured the space and agreed on the layout, we prepare a quote. Call us on 031 882 452 or e-mail info@kosecinterier.si.
Should I order the wardrobe before or after the renovation?
It is best to plan it before the renovation, while sockets, switches and lighting can still be moved. We take the final measurements and fit the wardrobe once the room is plastered and the floor is laid, because plaster and flooring change the dimensions.
