From walk-in robes to reach-in built-ins, a tailored wardrobe organiser transforms daily life. Joyce Kitchens designs and installs custom cabinetry across Perth and WA—bringing the same award-winning approach we use for kitchen renovations Perth to your bedroom clothes storage, bathroom and laundry fit-outs, too.
Why a wardrobe organiser matters
A well-planned wardrobe organiser gives every item a home—shirts, shoes, bags and seasonal wear—so you can start and end each day calmly. The right combination of hanging clothes storage, clothing storage drawers, wardrobe baskets and shelves maximises capacity without clutter.
- Faster mornings: a clear place for workwear, gym gear and weekend apparel.
- Extend garment life: proper garment storage limits crushing and fading.
- Better room flow: integrated closet storage keeps surfaces clean and stylish.
Whether you need inside wardrobe storage for a compact apartment, organisers for bedroom in a family home, or a luxurious master suite, Joyce Kitchens delivers custom cabinetry WA homeowners trust.
Our renovation and fit-out process
1) Consultation and measure
We visit your home to measure precisely, discuss clothes storage ideas and map out how you live—how many long dresses, folded knits, shoes and accessories, and whether you want a wardrobe organiser that also integrates a vanity or dressing table.
2) Design and 3D visuals
Your designer balances hanging heights, wardrobe organiser drawers, shelves and wardrobe storage baskets to create a layout that fits your room and routine. We can mirror your shaker kitchen door profile for consistency, or specify a sleek, modern look.
3) Selections and specification
Choose finishes (melamine, laminate, 2‑pac polyurethane, timber veneer), handles, soft-close hardware (Blum or Hettich), lighting and mirrors. Where robes adjoin bathrooms or laundries we coordinate with your bathroom renovation Perth or laundry design to keep the whole home cohesive.
4) Quote and timeline
We provide a transparent quote and schedule. Typical lead times are 3–6 weeks to manufacture and 1–3 days to install for most built-in robes.
5) Manufacture and installation
Cabinetry is built by our experienced Perth team. Licensed trades handle any electrical work for LED strip lighting or power points in accordance with Australian Standards (AS/NZS) and WA requirements. For general guidance, see WA Building and Energy.
6) Aftercare
We’ll run through care instructions and adjustment tips for hinges, drawers and sliding doors, and stand behind our workmanship.
Materials and finishes for wardrobe organisers
Perth’s climate means your wardrobe organiser should be stable in heat, cope with sea-breeze humidity and resist UV where doors may catch light. Here’s how the main options stack up.
Popular finishes
- Melamine and laminate in matt, textured or woodgrain looks—durable and budget-friendly.
- 2‑pac polyurethane paint for premium, seamless doors (great for Shaker profiles to match a shaker kitchen).
- Timber veneer for authentic warmth with contemporary or heritage homes.
- Mirror or glass sliding doors to bounce light and make rooms feel larger.
Hardware and internals
- Soft-close hinges and runners (Blum/Hettich) for quiet, quality joinery.
- Pull-out racks for shoes, ties, belts and scarves.
- LED strip lighting with diffusers for even, energy-efficient illumination.
- Ventilated wire wardrobe baskets for breathability, or timber drawers for a furniture-grade look.
Comparison: Wardrobe door/finish options in WA
| Finish | Look | Durability | Typical Cost (doors) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Melamine/Laminate | Contemporary, large colour range | High scratch/moisture resistance | $ | Rental, kids’ rooms, budget-savvy |
| 2‑Pac Polyurethane | Seamless, can do Shaker/Hampton style | High, refinishable | $$$ | Premium homes, style matching a shaker kitchen |
| Timber Veneer | Natural grain, warm | High with care | $$–$$$ | Feature wardrobes, master suites |
| Mirror/Glass (Sliding) | Space-enhancing, bright | High with quality tracks | $$ | Small rooms needing light bounce |
Note: If your wardrobe sits off a bathroom or laundry, we’ll specify HMR carcasses and sealed edges—an approach we use in our laundry cabinetry and bathroom renovation Perth projects.
Layouts, styles and clever clothes storage ideas
Reach-in built-ins
Perfect for secondary bedrooms, a reach-in can feel like a walk-in with the right closet organizer setup:
- Double-hang for shirts and jackets using a shirt organiser rail spacing.
- Adjustable shelves and clothing storage drawers for knits and tees.
- Hanging wardrobe organiser units add flexible sections for accessories.
- Use storage for on top of wardrobe to house seasonal clothes storage boxes.
Walk-in robes
Great in master suites: mix long-hang for dresses, mid-hang for pants, and banks of wardrobe organiser drawers. Add a central island if space allows for jewellery and storage apparel accessories.
Sliding vs hinged doors
- Sliding doors maximise room space; ideal for tight rooms and mirror finishes.
- Hinged doors provide full access to internals and suit Shaker/Hampton styling.
Smart accessories and ideas
- Wardrobe shelf organiser dividers for jeans and knits; hanging shelves clothes for quick-access outfits.
- Pull-out shoe racks and wardrobe storage baskets for breathability.
- Wardrobe boxes storage or cloth clothes storage bags for off-season garments.
- Inside wardrobe storage lighting: motion-sensor LED strip lighting under shelves.
- Hanging cupboard storage for ties, belts and scarves.
Styling to match your home
Prefer a Hamptons look? Choose 2‑pac Shaker doors to echo your shaker kitchen. Love modern minimal? Go for flat-panel laminate and integrated handles. We can coordinate colours with your engineered stone benchtop and cabinetry in the kitchen, butler’s pantry or scullery for a consistent palette throughout the home.
Flat-pack vs custom? Flat-pack suits basic sizes, but custom lets us use every millimetre—especially crucial in period homes and townhouses where walls aren’t perfectly square.

Quick local case examples
Mount Lawley bungalow
A heritage home needed closet storage that felt period-correct. We specified 2‑pac Shaker hinged doors, soft-close drawers and wardrobe baskets, matching the client’s Hamptons-style kitchen. The result: more capacity and a unified, classic look.
Fremantle apartment
For a compact bedroom, we installed a sliding closet organiser with mirror doors, double-hang sections, a slim shirt organizer pull-out and over-cabinet clothes storage boxes. Space doubled without crowding the room.

FAQ
What is the best wardrobe organiser layout for a small bedroom?
Use sliding doors, double-hang rails, 2–3 shallow drawers, a few adjustable shelves and over-cabinet boxes for seasonal items. Mirrors help bounce light and make the room feel larger.
Are pull-out wardrobe baskets or drawers better for clothes storage?
Drawers protect and conceal folded items; baskets allow airflow and quick visibility. Many Perth homes choose a mix—drawers for tees and intimates, baskets for gym gear and shoes.
How much does a custom wardrobe organiser cost in Perth?
Expect $1,500–$4,000 for an insert, $3,500–$8,500+ for built-ins with doors, and $8,000–$25,000+ for walk-ins. Finishes like 2‑pac, veneer and lighting increase cost.
