Built-in Wardrobes In Launceston

Yes, fitting built-in robes into period bedrooms is common work for us in suburbs like Newstead, Trevallyn and East Launceston. Heritage rooms often have high ceilings, picture rails and walls that are far from square, so a made-to-measure robe is the sensible answer. We scribe the cabinetry neatly to the existing walls and can match door styles that suit the character of the home. The result reads as part of the room rather than an add-on.

We plan the internals around what you actually store, so a typical robe combines long and short hanging, adjustable shelving, drawers and shoe storage. Adjustable rails and shelves let the layout change as your needs do over time. We can add features like a top shelf for luggage or dividers for accessories during the design stage. The idea is that every part of the opening earns its place rather than sitting empty.

Very much so, and family bedrooms in suburbs such as Kings Meadows, Prospect, Riverside and Youngtown are a big part of our robe work. These homes usually want hard-wearing, easy-clean finishes and plenty of practical hanging and drawer space for busy households. We build to the exact opening so the robe uses the full wall without wasted gaps. A well-planned built-in can noticeably tidy up a family bedroom without taking floor space.

For most Launceston bedrooms it is, because there is no IKEA in Tasmania and flat-pack means freighting fixed-size units from the mainland that rarely fill the space cleanly. Older local homes with high ceilings and uneven walls show those gaps quickly. A custom built-in is made to your exact opening, floor to ceiling and wall to wall, with internals planned around your clothes. You also get local installation and a local team to call, rather than a carton shipped across Bass Strait.

Door options range from cost-effective laminate through to timber veneer and 2-pac (polyurethane) finishes, in hinged or sliding styles. The 2-pac and veneer finishes handle the humidity and temperature swings of a heated home through a Launceston winter well, though we are honest that timber and veneer can move a little with the seasons. Sliding doors are a good pick where floor space is limited. We help you choose a finish that suits both the room and your budget at the design stage.

As a guide, a custom built-in wardrobe in the Launceston area often ranges from around $2,500 to $7,000, with simple single robes lower and large or premium fit-outs higher. The figure depends on the size of the opening, the door style, the internal layout, the finish and the hardware. Every number is a guide until we measure the room, since heritage openings can take more fitting than square new-build ones. After the free measure we give you a fixed, itemised price.
