Bespoke Wardrobes in Emerson Park Designed Around a Real Customer Brief

Our Hornchurch customer had compared fitted wardrobe designs and prices from several companies before contacting Simply Fitted Wardrobes after seeing an advert on social media. They already had an idea of the appearance and storage they wanted, so the first step was a design appointment to discuss the details and compare what the different quotations included.

Two elements of the brief stood out: a dark walnut-effect wardrobe frontage with mirrored central doors, and generous hanging space. The customer also raised the question of wardrobe backs. Some quotations they had received charged separately for the back panels, whereas our original installation specification included backs as standard. That difference mattered when they compared the proposed furniture.

We designed the fitted wardrobes using the Mallory range, with clean flat slab doors. The Egger Tobacco Aida Walnut finish was used for both the exterior doors and the wardrobe interiors. The darker woodgrain appearance gives the furniture warmth, while the mirrors in the middle create contrast.

Mirrored Walnut Wardrobe Doors with a Bespoke 300mm Centre Detail

The furniture comprised two 950mm-wide double wardrobes. The outer doors were plain walnut-effect fronts. The pair of doors meeting in the centre contained bespoke mirror insets, creating a symmetrical feature rather than fully mirrored wardrobe doors.

Each of the four doors measured 475mm wide, arranged as two doors per 950mm double wardrobe. The central pair had 300mm mirrored panels with walnut-effect framing visible either side. The unmirrored areas allowed space for the long, traditional-style handles that were fitted to the doors.

The bedroom ceiling measured 2,440mm high, and the fitted wardrobe furniture was made to a height of 2,340mm. These dimensions helped create a balanced fitted frontage for the room.

Tobacco Aida Walnut Wardrobe Interiors, Hanging Rails and Storage

The interiors were made in the same Tobacco Aida Walnut-effect finish as the visible doors. On the left was a double wardrobe with a top shelf and double hanging below it, providing room to store shorter garments on two levels. The right-hand double wardrobe had deep internal drawer storage, with four adjustable shelves above for folded clothes, accessories and personal items.

For new wardrobe projects, the inside matters as much as the finish outside. Customers comparing fitted wardrobe interiors can choose hanging, shelving and drawer arrangements to suit their clothing rather than relying only on standard off-the-shelf furniture layouts.

One-Day Hornchurch Installation and Matching Walnut Bedroom Furniture

The wardrobes were fitted in one day. The bedroom was due to be decorated and have its carpet replaced after the installation, so completing the fitting allowed the customer to continue with those works.

The customer was delighted with the finished appearance. They also commissioned an open bookcase and two freestanding bedside tables in the same Tobacco Aida Walnut finish. These items were fitted as part of the same bedroom project, creating a coordinated furniture arrangement throughout the room.

After the work, the customer recommended Simply Fitted Wardrobes to a neighbour and a friend.

This real project demonstrates how bespoke fitted wardrobes can combine a distinctive mirror feature with practical storage and coordinated furniture. Homeowners in Hornchurch and Emerson Park can also explore our Essex fitted wardrobe service and matching bedroom furniture for further ideas.
