Project Overview
This bespoke birch plywood fitted wardrobe was designed, manufactured and installed as a fully made-to-measure storage solution tailored precisely to the room dimensions. The client required a clean, durable and space-efficient system that would integrate seamlessly with the existing architecture while maximising usable internal volume.
The wardrobe measures approximately 2.5 m by 3.5 m with a ceiling height of 2.25 m. All components were built from high-grade 18 mm birch plywood, finished with a natural water-based lacquer to protect the surface while maintaining the visible grain structure. Every section, including internal shelving, drawer units and full-height slab doors, was manufactured from scratch rather than adapted from fixed module sizes. This allowed us to eliminate unnecessary voids and optimise proportions throughout the entire layout.

Design and Functionality
Smart Use of Space
The layout maximises every centimetre of the room by combining full height storage, deep compartments and a continuous worktop under the window. This keeps the visual lines clean while giving the client additional usable surface without taking space from the room.
Custom Interior Configuration
The interior includes six soft close drawers and adjustable shelving, configured around the client’s daily habits. Each component is positioned for comfort and ease of use, creating a practical wardrobe that remains simple, robust and enjoyable to use.
Materials and Finish
High Quality Birch Plywood
The wardrobe is crafted from high quality birch plywood chosen for its structural stability, long lifespan and timeless appearance. Its fine grain allows for visually consistent surfaces, giving the furniture a clean and modern feel.
Satin Water Based Lacquer
A satin water based lacquer brings out the natural colour of the wood while offering strong resistance to moisture and day to day wear. This finish keeps the wardrobe looking refined and ensures it remains easy to maintain for years.
Hardware and Quality Assurance
Premium BLUM Components
To ensure long term reliability, the wardrobe is fitted with BLUM push to open hinges and drawer runners. These components are known for their smooth, effortless motion and high quality construction.
Long Term Performance Guarantee
With a 25 year manufacturer warranty, the hardware ensures long term reliability. It reinforces the build quality of the wardrobe and contributes to a confidently durable installation.
Challenges and Solutions
Precision Panel Alignment
This project required precise craftsmanship to align large panels and maintain consistent grain patterns across the entire surface. Achieving a uniform modern look depended on careful material handling and accurate installation.
Optimising the Interior Layout
Maximising functionality within the available space presented an additional challenge. Through careful planning we optimised the placement of shelves, hanging areas and drawers, ensuring that every part of the wardrobe remained practical and accessible without compromising the clean aesthetic.
Environmental Considerations
Responsible Material Selection
Birch plywood is an efficient and sustainable material due to its multi-layered structure, which makes strong use of wood resources while reducing waste. Its durability extends the lifespan of the furniture, minimising long term material consumption.
Low VOC Finishing System
The use of low VOC water based lacquers aligns with environmentally responsible practices. These finishes reduce harmful emissions while still offering excellent protection and longevity, making the piece both practical and eco friendly.
Conclusion
This project reflects our approach to modern bespoke furniture: clean design, precise workmanship and fully tailored functionality. The wardrobe integrates seamlessly with the room and delivers long lasting practicality through thoughtful planning and high quality components. Our focus on detail and made to measure production ensures every project adds genuine value to the home and stands apart through both appearance and durability.
