Guides
Advice from our workshop — what we build with, how a wardrobe is put together, and what to decide before you order.
How we build a fitted wardrobe: from design to installation
The whole process at Mizarstvo Lesnika in Žiri — design in the 3D configurator, a call, an on-site survey, a binding quote, the workshop build and installation with a handover record.
What a fitted wardrobe costs, and what moves the price
The six things that actually set the price of a fitted wardrobe: size, door type, interior fittings, decor, painted fronts and installation — plus where the starting prices are.
How to measure an alcove for a wardrobe
Measuring an alcove or wall for a fitted wardrobe: width at three heights, depth, skirting, sockets, out-of-square walls, and what the workshop does about tolerances.
Warranty and wardrobe care
What the statutory guarantee covers, what the hardware maker guarantees, how to raise a complaint, and how to look after a wardrobe so it still works in ten years.
Sliding or hinged doors: which to choose
Sliding versus hinged doors on a fitted wardrobe — clearance in front, access to the inside, cost, appearance and upkeep, and when each one wins.
Wardrobes under a slope and under stairs
What is possible in a loft and under a staircase: sloped and stepped tops, what fits under the low end, why sliding doors are out, and when a top box is better.
Corner wardrobes: when they pay off and how to plan one
An L-shaped corner wardrobe uses the corner that would otherwise be dead space. How deep it should be, how long the arms should run, and when two straight runs are better.
Walk-in dressing rooms: planning, lighting and layout
How to plan a walk-in: how much space it needs, open versus closed storage, running metres of hanging, lighting, and I, L and U layouts.
Wardrobe interior fittings: what to fit and where
Shelves, drawers, pull-out baskets, trouser rails, LED strips, mirrors and tie racks — what genuinely earns its place, at what height, and what it costs.
Why we fit Blum hardware
CLIP top hinges with BLUMOTION damping, MOVENTO runners and the LEGRABOX drawer system — what they mean in daily use and why hardware is the wrong place to economise.
Materials: Egger boards, ABS edging, HDF backs and painted fronts
What a fitted wardrobe is made of: melamine-faced chipboard, ABS edge banding in two thicknesses, HDF backs and drawer bottoms, and sprayed MDF fronts.
