Top 10 Bespoke Walk-In Wardrobe Ideas
When people contact us or visit our showroom to discuss a new walk-in wardrobe or dressing room, the first thing we usually ask is what style they prefer. Do they want an open design or fitted with doors? Would they like LED lighting included? Is there enough space for an island unit? We also ask about practical needs — approximately how many drawers they require, whether they need shoe storage, and what kind of hanging space is needed (long, short, or both).
All of these details affect the overall design and cost, so getting a clear idea from the start helps us tailor the perfect solution.
To help you with your own planning, we’ve put together an article featuring 10 of the most popular walk-in wardrobe styles we’ve created for Urban customers — full of inspiration and real-life examples.
Scandinavian style for your walk-in wardrobe is a fantastic choice, offering a calm, elegant feel inspired by nature. You can combine soft, earthy tones with solid wood integrated handles and a smooth lacquered finish to create a space that feels both warm and modern.
The use of LED lighting is not only practical but also adds an atmospheric, premium touch — perfect for enhancing the overall look without cluttering the design. Clean aesthetics and reduced visual noise are key to this style, making your walk-in wardrobe feel effortlessly organised and beautifully minimal.
Loft conversion
A loft conversion is often the ideal spot to locate your walk-in wardrobe. Many homeowners extend their homes by converting the loft into storage or additional living space — and often, there’s more room up there than expected.
Creating a walk-in wardrobe next to the master bedroom is not only functional but also a smart use of space. To keep costs down, you can even skip the doors and go for an open-plan dressing area with plenty of drawers, shelves, and hanging space. Usually it’s enough space for a incorporated built-in dressing table with a pull out drawer underneath.
With well-designed fitted cabinets, you can achieve a practical, stylish, and luxurious feel, even in a loft with sloped ceilings or limited natural light.
Traditional painted Shaker Style
If you love the timeless look of classic furniture in your home, look no further than factory-lacquered shaker-style walk-in wardrobes.
One of the biggest advantages is the flexibility of colour — we can match any shade from leading paint brands, so your wardrobe complements the rest of your interior perfectly. For a more contemporary feel, you can choose plain lacquered MDF doors. But if you prefer a traditional touch, we can spray paint real oak veneer, giving you a beautiful woodgrain texture that brings warmth and authenticity to the design.
This style works beautifully in both period properties and modern homes, offering a clean, elegant finish that never goes out of fashion.
Contemporary style
When a customer asks for a contemporary-style dressing room, we usually think straight away of handleless doors and drawers, often with integrated handles and a sleek lacquered finish. For contemporary fitted walk-in wardrobes, we typically use either plain or linen-effect interiors, which give a clean and modern look. We also incorporate plenty of LED lighting — not only for practicality but also to enhance the overall atmosphere and add a premium feel.
Classic white
If you prefer to keep your wardrobe in white, we’d be more than happy to create that for you. For those who love a more traditional look, we can design a fully bespoke walk-in wardrobe finished in white lacquer with a classic shaker-style effect.
This timeless design pairs beautifully with black handles for a bold contrast, but we can also use brass or gold hardware to achieve a softer, more elegant finish. To elevate the look even further, consider adding LED lighting and wooden back panels — these subtle details can bring a real sense of luxury and sophistication to the space.
Dark tones
If you decide to use a dark wood colour for your bespoke walk-in wardrobe, it’s a good idea to make sure there’s plenty of light in the room during the day and at night. Dark wood walk in cubpoards look great in bright rooms and create a very expensive, luxurious atmosphere.
With LED lighting, you can ensure there’s enough light during the darker hours, making the space both stylish and practical.
We can manufacture your walk-in wardrobe in dark wood using two material options: real wood veneer, which can be stained in over 50 colours, or premium laminated wood, which also comes in around 50 colour options.
Boutique style
Boutique-style walk-in wardrobes are designed to feel like your own personal luxury dressing space — just like walking into a high-end fashion boutique. This style focuses on open shelving, glass-fronted drawers, and elegant display areas for shoes, bags, and accessories. Finishes are typically sleek and high-end, with options like velvet-lined drawers, soft-close mechanisms, and rich materials such as smoked glass or brass accents.
Acrylic Gloss
High-gloss acrylic doors may not be the most popular choice, but they definitely appeal to some families — especially those looking for something bold and unique. Paired with antique brass handles, they create an elegant contrast against the reflective surfaces, adding warmth and depth to the overall look. This combination works beautifully in bedrooms with modern interiors that incorporate a few traditional elements, striking the perfect balance between contemporary style and classic character.
Mirrored doors
Mirrored door walk-in wardrobes pay tribute to classic design while creating a perfect blend of traditional elegance and modern functionality. This style not only enhances the sense of space and light but also works beautifully in interiors that mix timeless details with contemporary touches.
Solid timber frames
We also produce walk-in wardrobes using beautifully eco-friendly solid timber such as ash or oak, which can be lacquered or stained in a unique colour of your choice. If you’re looking for a truly natural and timeless option, look no further than our Tailor Frames range — perfect for those who want the warmth, texture, and character that only real wood can offer.
Please contact us if you need help designing a walk-in wardrobe for your dressing room. We usually begin with a free estimate, and we’re happy to arrange a showroom visit, a site design consultation, or even a Zoom call to discuss your project in more detail — whichever works best for you.
