Full access
Hinged doors: choose full access when swing space is available
Best when the room can comfortably absorb the door swing. It gives a complete view and makes internal lighting and accessories easy to reach.
CUSTOM WARDROBES FROM CHINA / ARCAYA
Custom
wardrobes
from China
for your space.
A wardrobe is not a row of boxes. It is a daily sequence: choose, reach, dress, return.
Plan the inside first, then coordinate the doors, materials, drawings, packing and site installation around it.

01 / DESIGN FROM THE INSIDE OUT
How much hanging, drawer and shelf space do you need?
Real wardrobe complaints often begin with the inside: too much deep shelving, too little hanging space, drawers in the wrong place, or one generic layout shared by people with different clothes.
Use these profiles as a conversation starter, then replace the assumptions with your own inventory.
STARTING EMPHASIS / ADAPT TO YOUR INVENTORY
Need faster mornings? Keep daily clothes within one reach.
For shirts, jackets and daily outfits, favour clear short-hang zones, one useful drawer bank and an easy return point for clothes worn once.

How do you stop jackets and dresses losing their shape?
Give jackets, dresses and trousers their own uninterrupted lengths. Add a shallow accessories layer where the day begins.

Sharing a wardrobe? Give each person a clear zone.
A shared wardrobe works better when each person has a visible territory, with a small common zone for bedding, luggage or seasonal pieces.

How should you store shoes, bags and special pieces?
Shoes, bags and accessories need display, protection and a repeatable order. Use adjustable shelves and fewer oversized cavities.

02 / THE ROOM DECIDES THE OPENING
Which wardrobe door works best when space is tight?
Door style changes what you can see, reach and walk past. Review it with the bed, bedside tables, skirting, switches and the person using the room.
Clear circulation
Sliding doors: save clearance in a narrow bedroom
Useful where the route past the wardrobe is tight. Review overlap, usable opening width, track cleaning and access to drawers.
A room in sequence
Walk-in wardrobe: plan the aisle before adding storage
Treat it as circulation plus storage. Check the central passage, corner access, lighting, ventilation and the route from dressing to mirror.
03 / STORE IN LAYERS
How do you keep everyday clothes easy to reach?
More compartments do not automatically mean more usable storage. Place the most frequent actions at the easiest height, make lower storage pull toward you, and leave upper storage for lighter or seasonal pieces.
- Measure the actual garments that matter
- Prefer adjustable shelves where needs may change
- Give worn-once clothes a deliberate return point
- Test drawers and doors together before approval

04 / SPECIFY THE TOUCHPOINTS
Which materials and hardware make a wardrobe last?
Ask what your hand touches, what your eye follows and what moves every day. Record the complete construction rather than approving a colour name.
How do you check wardrobe colour before production?
Approve a labelled physical sample in the room’s actual light, beside the flooring and wall finish. Record the colour, sheen and grain reference on the material schedule.
How do you prevent mismatched edges and broken grain lines?
Mark every exposed edge, reveal width and grain direction on the elevations. Check the approved sample and shop drawings together before production starts.
03 / MOVEMENT
Which hardware keeps wardrobe doors and drawers quiet?
Specify named soft-close hinges and full-extension runners with the correct load rating, adjustment range and tested cycle life.

05 / CUSTOM WARDROBES FROM CHINA
How do you order custom wardrobes from China without costly mistakes?
The design must survive translation into drawings, pieces, cartons and an installation sequence. A strong package keeps the same room and unit references all the way through.
01
Which wardrobe drawings should you approve before production?
Confirm elevations, sections, internal layouts, finished dimensions and every visible junction.
02
Which factory checks prevent sizing and finish errors?
Define what should be measured, trial assembled or photographed before packing.
03
How should wardrobe cartons be labelled for installation?
Use project, room and cabinet IDs. Match protection and shipment groups to receiving and installation.
Before release, make four things visible:
Current approved drawingsMaterial & hardware schedulePacking & receiving planNamed installation responsibilities
06 / CHECK BEFORE YOU APPROVE
What should you check before approving a custom wardrobe design?
Use these five questions before production to check door clearance, visibility, reach and the way clothes return to storage.
- 01
Will every door and drawer open fully?
Can every door or drawer move without hitting a bed, handle or adjacent panel?
- 02
Can you see daily clothes at a glance?
Can you scan daily clothes without moving a stack or opening three different zones?
- 03
Can every user reach their own storage?
Can each user reach their own rail, drawer and frequently worn pieces comfortably?
- 04
Where will tomorrow’s outfit and worn-once clothes go?
Is there a place for tomorrow’s outfit, accessories, mirror and clothes worn once?
- 05
Can clothes, shoes and laundry return in one step?
Can clothes, shoes and laundry go back with one simple action?
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A QUOTE
What should you confirm before requesting a wardrobe quote?
Can I begin with inspiration images?
Yes. Add the images to a brief, then identify what you actually like in each one: door rhythm, internal layout, material, lighting, hardware or atmosphere. A reference is clearer when every image has a reason.
What measurements should be confirmed?
The responsible site team should verify the finished opening, floor and ceiling conditions, skirtings, sockets, switches, access routes and any wall or ceiling irregularity. Agree the measurement and approval responsibility before production.
How should materials and hardware be compared?
Ask for a written schedule that identifies the board construction, finish, exposed edges, back panels, handle or profile, hinge and runner models, lighting components and approved alternatives. Review physical samples where appearance matters.
How do we avoid surprise additions?
Compare quotations against the same drawings and accessory schedule. Make drawers, pull-outs, lighting, fillers, trims, packing, freight and local installation responsibilities visible instead of relying on a headline rate.
Is local installation included?
That depends on the agreed project scope. Identify who surveys, receives, stores, assembles, fixes, connects lighting, adjusts doors and manages close-out before the order is released.
07 / TURN YOUR INVENTORY INTO A BRIEF
What should you send for an accurate custom wardrobe quote?
Send the room dimensions, wardrobe references and a short note about the people, clothes and storage habits the design needs to support.
