Most of us have clothes in our wardrobe that only come out once or twice a year. Whether it’s your favourite winter coat, a suit reserved for weddings, a cocktail dress for special occasions, or that formal gown you’ve been saving for your next gala, these garments can spend months hanging untouched. The problem? **Long-term storage can lead to musty smells, mould, creases and even permanent fabric damage** if your clothes aren’t stored correctly. The good news is that a few simple wardrobe habits can make a big difference. Here are our top tips for keeping your seasonal and special occasion clothing fresh, protected and ready to wear. ## 1. Always Clean Clothes Before Storing Them One of the biggest mistakes people make is putting clothes away after wearing them without having them cleaned. Even if a garment *looks* clean, invisible traces of sweat, body oils, perfume and food can remain on the fabric. Over time, these can contribute to stains, odours and even attract insects. Before storing clothing for an extended period: - Dry clean delicate garments if recommended on the care label. - Wash everyday items according to their care instructions. - Make sure everything is **completely dry** before returning it to your wardrobe. **Remember:** Moisture is one of the biggest contributors to mould, so never store clothing while it’s even slightly damp. ## 2. Choose the Right Hangers Not all hangers are created equal. Heavy winter coats, tailored jackets, suits and formal dresses should be supported with **sturdy timber or wide padded hangers** to help them maintain their shape. Thin wire hangers can leave marks around the shoulders and may cause garments to lose their structure over time. For heavier or more valuable pieces, a good-quality hanger is a small investment that can make a big difference.  ## 3. Give Your Clothes Room to Breathe It can be tempting to squeeze just one more outfit onto the hanging rail, but an overcrowded wardrobe isn’t ideal for long-term clothing storage. Packing garments tightly together **restricts airflow and can trap moisture**. Leave a little space between garments so air can circulate naturally. This helps prevent stale smells and reduces the chance of mould developing, particularly during humid weather. If you constantly struggle to fit everything into your wardrobe, it may also be a sign that your current wardrobe layout isn’t making the best use of the available space.  ## 4. Use Breathable Garment Bags Garment bags are a great way to protect expensive, delicate or rarely worn clothing from dust. However, **avoid leaving clothing in plastic dry-cleaning bags for long periods**. Plastic can trap moisture around the garment, particularly during warmer or more humid months, creating an environment where mould and mildew can develop. Instead, choose **breathable cotton or fabric garment bags**. These protect your clothing from dust while still allowing air to circulate. ## 5. Keep Moisture Under Control Australian humidity can be tough on wardrobes, particularly during periods of wet or humid weather. If your wardrobe tends to feel damp or develop a musty smell, consider using: - Moisture absorbers - Silica gel packets - Activated charcoal bags - Small wardrobe dehumidifiers These can help reduce excess humidity and keep both your wardrobe and clothing fresher for longer. It’s also worth checking moisture absorbers regularly and replacing them when needed. ## 6. Air Your Clothes Occasionally Even clothing that isn’t worn regularly benefits from being aired out. Every few months, give your special pieces a little attention: - Open your wardrobe doors and allow some fresh air to circulate. - Remove special occasion and seasonal garments. - Allow them to hang in fresh air for a few hours. - Check for signs of moisture, mould, insects or staining. - Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it away again. This simple habit can help prevent stale odours and allows you to spot small problems before they cause permanent damage. ## 7. Take Extra Care With Natural Fabrics Natural fibres such as **wool, silk, linen and cotton** can require a little extra care during long periods of storage. Winter coats, wool jackets, suits and formal garments should be inspected occasionally throughout the year. For wool garments, you may also want to use natural moth deterrents such as **cedar blocks or lavender sachets**. Just remember that these shouldn’t replace regular checks and good wardrobe hygiene. ## 8. Keep Your Wardrobe Clean A clean wardrobe creates a healthier environment for your clothing. Dust and dirt can accumulate surprisingly quickly, particularly in corners, on shelves and along the wardrobe floor. As part of your regular cleaning routine: - Vacuum the floor and corners of your wardrobe. - Dust shelves, drawers and hanging rails. - Wipe surfaces when necessary. - Make sure any damp-cleaned surfaces are completely dry before replacing your clothing. It’s also a good opportunity to remove anything you no longer wear and create a little more breathing room between garments. ## 9. Good Wardrobe Design Matters More Than You Think A well-designed wardrobe isn’t just about making your bedroom look beautiful. **The right design can also help protect your clothing.** Adequate hanging space helps prevent overcrowding, while a thoughtful wardrobe layout can improve airflow and make it easier to see, access and care for your clothes. Dedicated **long-hanging sections** are particularly useful for: - Formal gowns - Cocktail dresses - Long coats - Suits - Jumpsuits - Special occasion outfits Keeping these garments hanging at their full length can reduce unnecessary folding and creasing while helping them maintain their shape. A custom wardrobe can also incorporate the right combination of long hanging, short hanging, drawers, shelving and dedicated storage so that everything has its place. ## Keep Your Favourite Pieces Looking Like New Seasonal clothing and special occasion outfits are often some of the most loved — and sometimes most expensive — pieces in your wardrobe. With a little preparation and the right storage habits, they can stay **fresh, protected and ready to wear** whenever the occasion arrives. At **Fox Wardrobes**, we believe a great wardrobe should do more than simply store your clothes. It should make your space easier to use, help keep your belongings organised and provide the right storage for everything from everyday essentials to your most treasured pieces. ### Ready for a Wardrobe Designed Around You? **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

From the workshop to the install sites and into CAD design, these incredible women are redefining what it means to build beautiful spaces. ### 🛠 Monique — From the Tools to the Tech After absolutely *killing it* on the tools as a Lead Cabinetmaker, Monique has stepped into a new challenge — joining our CAD Drawing Department. With her deep understanding of the trade and a sharp design eye, she connects creativity and production seamlessly. Her progression shows just how far skill and drive can take you in this craft. ### 🔧 Lucy — The Fast-Track Fox Lucy completed her qualification in record time and has already levelled up to become a Lead Installer. Her precision, problem-solving and eye for detail make her a total standout. Watching Lucy journey from a high school student and grow into a confident apprentice and now leader on site has been a real highlight for the Fox team. ### 🪚 Sarah — The Sea-Change Star After years in teaching, Sarah swapped classrooms for cabinetry and hasn’t looked back. Now in her second year of apprenticeship, she’s thriving — bringing calm focus, intelligence and a real passion for learning. Sarah also loves to use her teaching skills to support the other apprentices. Her career change reminds us that it’s never too late to follow what lights you up. ### 🪵 Eliza — The Bright New Spark Fresh out of school and fired up for her first year as an apprentice, Eliza joined Fox in May and is already impressing the crew with her enthusiasm and attention to detail. She’s learning fast, always asking questions and bringing fresh energy into the workshop. --- ### 🌟 Fox and Proud Each of these women brings something special to the Fox family — craftsmanship, creativity, teamwork and pride in their work. Together, they’re inspiring a new generation to back themselves, step up and shine in the cabinetry industry. As trailblazers in the industry we can’t wait to see what they do next!!

Can your wardrobe actually help you live more simply and meaningfully? If you’ve been craving less clutter and more calm, this one’s for you. Time to spring clean your wardrobe!! Spring is the season of new beginnings — flowers bloom, the sun lingers longer, and it feels like the perfect time to clear out the clutter and give your wardrobe some love. A good spring clean of your wardrobe not only frees up space but also makes getting dressed every day a whole lot easier. Not feeling the joy at home lately? Time for a declutter session that’ll lift your mood and your space. Out with the chaos, in with the calm — and maybe a little sparkle of joy while you’re at it. ✨ **Step 1: Commit to the Task** Thinking about it won’t cut it — you’ve got to go all in. Pull every single item out, tip it onto your bed, and face the chaos head-on. The rule? No going to bed until it’s sorted. There can be no cleansing without first creating a mess — it’s part of the process. **Step 2: Imagine Your New Lifestyle** How do you want your wardrobe to feel? Are you happy with chaos, or do you crave clean lines and calm? Visualising your end goal is key — whether it’s being able to pick an outfit at a glance or creating a boutique-style setup at home. ### Step 3: Sort by Category Marie Kondo suggests working through categories in a specific order — starting with the easiest and finishing with the hardest. For wardrobes, this means starting with everyday clothing before moving on to trickier sentimental items. By the time you reach the emotional pieces, your culling skills will be sharpened and you’ll find it easier to make decisions. ### Step 4: Does It Spark Joy? With each piece you pick up, ask: Does this truly spark joy? Maybe it’s your favourite shirt, a vintage bag that reminds you of a special occasion, or those trakkydaks you love lounging in. If it sparks joy, it stays. If not, thank it for its service and let it go. Showing gratitude, even to objects, reframes how we value what we own — and helps us shop more mindfully in future. ### Step 5: Refresh Your Space Once you’ve pared things back, give your wardrobe a clean. Wipe down shelves, dust, and vacuum. Then add simple touches like a chic fabric storage box for accessories — tidy and stylish in one hit. ### Step 6: Organise Like a Pro Think in zones: Everyday essentials Workwear Occasion pieces Seasonal storage Use matching hangers, baskets, or dividers to keep everything streamlined. Short on space? Consider clever solutions like shoe drawers or double hanging rods. ### Step 7: Learn to Fold Like a Pro Kondo’s famous folding technique lets clothes stand upright — no more messy piles and endless rummaging. Not only does it look great, it makes it easier to see exactly what you own. Whether you organise by colour, season or usage, the aim is visibility and flow. ### Step 8: Rotate for the Season Pack away winter knits and coats to make room for spring and summer staples. Clear boxes or vacuum-sealed bags will protect off-season items while keeping your wardrobe clutter-free. ### Step 9: Add a Personal Touch A wardrobe should work hard but also spark joy. Think mirrors, LED lighting, or even a little styling station. Small touches elevate your space and make it truly yours. *🌸 The result? A wardrobe that feels lighter, fresher, and ready for the season ahead. Spring cleaning isn’t just about creating more space — it’s about shaping a wardrobe (and a lifestyle) that brings joy, order, and calm to your every day.* **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

Two of the most popular options we offer at Fox Wardrobes are **shaker** and **flat panel** doors. While they both bring a sleek, timeless finish to your space, each has its own personality, appeal, and best-fit applications. So, how do you choose? Let’s break it down. --- ### **Shaker Doors – Timeless & Textured** **What is a shaker door?** Shaker doors feature a classic **framed design** – a recessed panel surrounded by a simple border. They strike the perfect balance between traditional charm and modern elegance. **Why choose shaker doors?** ✔️ **Character & detail** – They add subtle depth without being overly ornate ✔️ **Versatile style** – Works beautifully in **Hamptons**, **coastal**, **farmhouse**, and even **contemporary** interiors ✔️ **Customisable** – We can tweak the width of the rails, or go with a double-step profile for extra flair **Best for:** Clients looking to add warmth, texture, or a bit of that ‘designer edge’ to their wardrobes or linen cupboards. --- ### **Flat Panel Doors – Clean & Contemporary** **What is a flat panel door?** As the name suggests, these doors have a **completely smooth surface** – no frames, no grooves, just clean lines and a modern feel. **Why choose flat panel doors?** ✔️ **Sleek & minimalist** – Ideal for creating a streamlined, modern look ✔️ **Easy to clean** – No grooves means no dust build-up ✔️ **Endless finishes** – Think satin, matte, gloss or timber-look colourboard **Best for:** Those chasing a **minimalist**, **mid-century**, or **ultra-modern aesthetic**, or wanting something low-maintenance and fuss-free. --- ### **What About Handles?** Both styles look great with a range of handle options – or go **handleless** with a s**harknose or j-curve** profile for a truly seamless finish.

They do not cut corners, our painters apply plenty of paint on to the finish and you won’t see the board underneath. **Your cabinetry** and wardrobes will be designed on site, with you, by an experienced cabinet maker and designer.

Depth directly impacts how well your wardrobe performs, especially when it comes to **hanging space and door function**. Let’s break it down. ## **Standard Depth for Hanging Wardrobes: 600mm** The **minimum recommended depth** for a wardrobe with **standard horizontal hanging rods** is **600mm** (external depth). Why? Because clothes — especially adult items like jackets, coats, and jumpers — **hang between 500–550mm** deep. Add the door thickness (especially with hinged doors), and anything less than 600mm means your clothes will likely **get caught**, **crease**, or **prevent the doors from closing properly**. We’ve seen it before: a beautiful-looking wardrobe with a poor layout — clothes squashed, hangers on angles, and doors that just won’t sit right. That’s not just frustrating; it’s a sign of **poor design**. ## **What Happens if It’s Too Shallow?** - Doors may not shut without pressing hard (causing wear on clothes and hinges). - Bulky items like jumpers or coats get jammed. - Hangers hit the back of the doors or need to be hung on an angle. - You lose long-term functionality — especially if wardrobes are used by adults. ## **When Can You Go Shallower Than 600mm?** There are some exceptions — but they need to be **well thought out and clearly communicated**. We may recommend **shallower cabinetry (e.g., 450–500mm)** in cases where: - The wardrobe is for **children’s clothing only** (which is smaller and less bulky). - The space simply won’t allow for 600mm depth (e.g., tight hallway cabinetry or utility cupboards). - You **don’t need hanging space** and opt for drawers, shelves, or shoe storage instead. In these situations, we usually recommend **maximising shelving and drawer configurations** to ensure you’re still getting practical storage that suits the space. ## **Our Professional Recommendation at Fox** At **Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry**, we build every wardrobe **custom to your space and needs**, but as a general rule: - **Stick to 600mm internal depth** for hanging space - Go **shallower only** if: - There’s **no hanging required**, or - The client understands the limitations (e.g., children’s clothes or storage nooks) And if you’re tight on space? We’ll walk you through **alternative layouts** that make the most of your depth — think double drawers, open shelving, and clever internal design. ## Designed Right the First Time** Your wardrobe should be more than just a good-looking space — it should work for your lifestyle every day. That’s why we take the time during our consultations to assess your space, your storage needs, and the type of clothes and items you’re storing. It’s details like this — wardrobe depth, hanging placement, drawer heights — that separate **great cabinetry** from **disappointing storage**. **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

At the heart of that space? A well-crafted entertainment unit. *At Fox Wardrobes, we believe that built-in joinery doesn’t just fill a wall—it transforms it. Whether you’re working with a compact apartment or a sprawling family room, a custom entertainment unit can bring warmth, character, and function to your home in a way off-the-shelf options simply can’t.* **Why Invest in a Custom Entertainment Unit?** **1. Tailored to Your Lifestyle** We take the time to design cabinetry with you, not just for you. From the dimensions of your TV to your storage needs (gaming consoles, kids’ movies, speakers, the works!), everything is measured and mapped to fit seamlessly. Want a wine fridge built in? Hidden charging station? Open shelving for your favourite decor? We’ve got you. **2. Plan for Your Technology** Start with what you already have: the size of your TV, speakers, gaming consoles, set-top boxes—anything that needs a home. Planning around your tech ensures your unit will look sleek and work brilliantly. **3. Think Long-Term** Planning on upgrading your TV soon? Adding a soundbar or switching to a different streaming system? We’ll factor in future needs during the design process so your unit evolves with you—not against you. **4.

Maximising Storage Space** Let’s face it — no one ever complains about *too much* storage. Going to the ceiling allows you to take advantage of **every inch of vertical space**, which is especially valuable in smaller bedrooms or homes with limited storage. That top section is perfect for: - **Seasonal items** like winter coats or holiday decor - ****Luggage or bulky bedding**** - ****Shoes, bags, or less frequently used accessories**** Even in homes with high ceilings, we often design upper compartments for extra storage and can add fold-down access solutions to keep everything usable and organised. ## **2. Seamless, Built-In Look** A wardrobe that goes to the ceiling provides a more **custom, streamlined appearance**. It eliminates the awkward dust-collecting gap between the top of the wardrobe and the ceiling — giving the space a cleaner, more polished finish. At Fox, we often integrate a bulkhead that is big enough to allow you to organise a cornice expert to come in and add a cornice to the wardrobe to make a cohesive and seamless look. ## **3. Easier to Maintain** From a practical standpoint, wardrobes that reach the ceiling are **easier to clean and maintain**. Gaps above wardrobes are notorious for collecting dust — which are difficult (and often unsafe) to clean regularly. By sealing off the top, you save time and effort in the long run — and gain a neater, more hygienic storage area. ## **4. Tailored to Your Ceiling Height** We’re often asked if ceiling height can be an issue — and the answer is, not up to 3,600mm with a custom solution. Whether your ceiling is standard, sloped, or unusually high, our team designs each wardrobe to fit perfectly within the space. At Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry, we custom-manufacture all cabinetry locally in our factory, which means: - No wasted space - No awkward gaps - A fit that feels built for your home — because it is. ## **When You *Might Not* Go to the Ceiling** While we generally recommend full-height wardrobes, there are a few exceptions where a modified approach is more suitable: - **Heritage homes**: When ornate ceiling features or decorative cornices are a key part of the architectural charm, we typically build just below the ceiling to preserve those details. In these cases, we can finish the wardrobe with a custom **heritage-style capping** to seamlessly complement the home’s character. - **Very high ceilings**: For ceilings above **3,600mm**, a full-height wardrobe may not be practical or necessary. In most cases, we’ll design a proportional solution that maintains visual balance and accessibility. - **Restricted access**: If the space presents **installation challenges** — such as limited access or safety concerns when lifting large cabinetry — we may recommend a reduced-height design to ensure a safe and efficient installation process. ## **Our Expert Recommendation** At Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry, we strongly recommend going to the ceiling if you’re investing in a custom wardrobe. You’ll get: - More usable space - A cleaner and more cohesive design - Better long-term functionality ### If you’re not sure what’s right for your space, we offer **free in-home consultations** and can walk you through the best options for your room. **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

Understanding the Difference Between Carpentry, Cabinet Making, and Joinery Trades** #### If you’re considering a hands-on trade and love working with timber, you might be wondering which pathway is right for you. **Carpentry, Cabinet Making, and Joinery** are three distinct trades, each with its own specialty and skill set. While they all involve working with wood, the type of work, level of detail, and industry applications differ significantly. Let’s break it down to help you decide which trade suits you best. ### **Carpentry: The Framework of Construction** A **Carpenter** is responsible for the **structural** elements of buildings and homes. They work on: ✅ House framing and timber structures ✅ Roofing, flooring, and wall framing ✅ Decking and pergolas ✅ Fixing internal and external timber components Carpenters are hands-on in the construction phase, ensuring buildings are solid and functional. Their work is often **large-scale**, working with big materials and heavy-duty tools to shape the framework of homes and commercial buildings. ### **Cabinet Making: Precision and Fine Detail** A **Cabinet Maker** specialises in **internal cabinetry** and fitted furniture, focusing on the finer details that bring a home to life. This trade involves: ✅ **Wardrobes**, **TV units**, **display cabinetry**, and **home storage solutions** ✅ **Kitchens, laundries, bookcases, and vanities** ✅ Working with **high-end finishes, detailed joinery, and millimeter-perfect precision** Cabinet Makers take raw materials like **laminates, solid timber, and veneers** and turn them into high-quality, functional, and stylish storage solutions. Unlike carpenters, who work on-site for most of their projects, cabinet makers spend **a lot of time in workshops**, manufacturing pieces before installing them in homes. ### **Joinery: Crafting Windows & Doors** A **Joiner** focuses on **specialised timber components**, particularly **doors, windows, staircases, and custom timber features**. Their trade includes: ✅ **Manufacturing and installing custom doors and windows** ✅ **Creating bespoke staircases and balustrades** ✅ **Detailed wooden moldings and architraves** Joinery is a highly skilled trade that requires **precision woodworking**, often working with solid timber and specialised machinery. Joiners craft **custom timber elements** that add character and heritage to homes and buildings. ### **Which Trade is Right for You?** 🔨 **Love working outdoors and on construction sites?** **Carpentry** might be your trade. 📏 **Enjoy precision work and building detailed cabinetry?** **Cabinet Making** is for you. 🪵 **Want to craft bespoke windows, doors, and staircases?** **Joinery** is the way to go. Each trade offers **valuable skills, career stability, and long-term opportunities** in the construction and manufacturing industries. If you’re interested in starting a cabinet making trade apprenticeship, reach out and take the first step toward a rewarding career! **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

From style and functionality to size and customisation, wardrobes come in various types to suit different needs and spaces. In this blog, we’ll explore the main types of wardrobes and where you can source them to transform your home. Let’s break it down. ### **1.

They maximise storage by utilising the full height and width of a room, often designed to meet specific storage needs. **Best For:** - Homeowners looking for a permanent, stylish solution with highly functional and adjustable storage solutions. - Spaces with odd angles or limited dimensions. - Aesthetic consistency with room design. **Where to Get Them:** - Specialist wardrobe companies like Fox Wardrobes (known for premium, durable designs and tailored features) and other local cabinet maker/joiners. ### **3. Sliding Door Wardrobes** **What Are They?** Sliding door wardrobes are built-in or modular units featuring sliding doors, which are perfect for saving space. They often include mirrors, frosted glass, or sleek panel designs, adding a modern touch to any room. **Best For:** - Rooms with limited floor space. - Modern or minimalist interiors. - Enhancing light and space with mirrored panels. **Where to Get Them:** - Custom wardrobe specialists like Fox Wardrobes for tailored options. - Major furniture retailers with ready-to-assemble solutions. - Home renovation showrooms. ### **4.

In contrast, custom-built wardrobes and walk-in wardrobes tend to be more expensive but offer superior quality and are tailored to your specific style and storage needs. - **Style:** Sliding and open wardrobes complement modern decor, while traditional spaces may suit freestanding designs. ### **Final thoughts** The right wardrobe does more than store your belongings—it enhances your space’s functionality and aesthetic.

One common question we’re asked is: “Should wardrobes go in before the carpet?” The short answer? It depends on your priorities, but installing wardrobes first has some distinct advantages. Let’s break it down. ## Why Install Wardrobes Before Carpet? **1. Clean and Precise Installation –** Installing wardrobes before laying carpet ensures they’re secured directly to the subfloor. This creates a more stable foundation and avoids compressing the carpet, which can lead to uneven wear over time. **2. Cost Savings with Standard Wardrobes –** Standard wardrobes—like sliding door or hinged door designs without full carcass construction—are often installed without flooring with existing floors, walls, and ceilings exposed to reduce costs. If the wardrobe is installed after carpet, the flooring inside remains exposed so you will see the existing carpet. While carpet layers can cut and fit carpet into these areas afterward, it’s less seamless. **3. Ease of Carpet Replacement –** If the wardrobe is installed first, carpet layers will fit a cutout of carpet inside the wardrobe. This approach allows for easier carpet replacement in the future, as the carpet in the main room can be replaced without removing the wardrobe. In contrast, installing a wardrobe over carpet can make replacing the flooring a more complex and process. You will need to replace the carpet around the wardrobe and leave existing carpet underneath the wardrobe. Or if you want the old carpet removed from underneath the wardrobe you will need to remove the wardrobe to remove the carpet. **4. Customisation Options –** For high-end, full carcass construction wardrobes—where the cabinetry includes a floor, walls, and ceiling—this consideration is less relevant since the internal wardrobe flooring is already integrated and our approach is to cut the carpet out around the wardrobe. However, these wardrobes come at a higher price point. Standard wardrobes, which expose the existing floor, are a cost-effective alternative and benefit from the wardrobe-first approach. ### **Should Carpet Ever Go in First?** While less common, some people prefer to lay carpet first for a uniform, wall-to-wall appearance. However, this approach has drawbacks: - It increases carpet costs as you’re carpeting areas that will be covered. - The weight of the wardrobe can compress the carpet and underlay, leading to potential damage. This is why we will cut the carpet away from around the wardrobe so we can fix off to the subfloor but still keeping it under the ladder kickframe so as not to make a visible cut once installed. It’s important to use qualified cabinet makers to ensure that the wardrobe is installed correctly. - It complicates future carpet replacement. ### **Our recommendation** In most cases, wardrobes should go in before carpet, particularly for standard wardrobes without full carcass construction. This order ensures a cleaner installation, simplifies future carpet changes, and saves on unnecessary flooring costs. If you’re planning your wardrobe and flooring, take time to consider the type of wardrobe you’re installing and its impact on your flooring choice.

However, when it comes to installing wardrobes on floating timber floors, the decision requires careful consideration to ensure your flooring and cabinetry remain functional and beautiful for years to come. ### So, can you install wardrobes on floating timber floors? The answer is yes—but with some important caveats. Let’s break it down!! ### Understanding Floating Timber Floors Floating floors aren’t nailed or glued down but instead “float” above the subfloor, held in place by interlocking panels and often a layer of underlay for cushioning and soundproofing. This design allows the floor to expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity. When installing a wardrobe, this expansion and contraction must be accounted for to prevent damage to the flooring or the cabinetry. ### Key Considerations for Wardrobes on Floating Floors 1\. **Expansion Gaps** – Floating floors require expansion gaps around the edges to allow for natural movement. If you install a wardrobe directly on top of the floating floor without allowing for this, it can pin the floor down, causing buckling or damage over time. 2\. **Stability and Weight** – Floating floors are not as stable as fixed flooring, which means heavy wardrobes could shift or cause the floor to flex under pressure. If your wardrobe is particularly large or heavy, it’s better to install it on the subfloor, with the floating floor fitted around it. 3\. **Future Flooring Changes** – Installing the wardrobe directly onto the floating floor can make replacing the flooring more difficult in the future. By fitting the wardrobe first and cutting the floating floor to fit around it, you’ll simplify future updates to your space. ### **Best Practices for Installation** - **Secure the Wardrobes to the Subfloor** – For the most stable and long-lasting result, remove the floating floor or install floating floor up to the wardrobe, and install the wardrobe directly onto the subfloor. The floating floor can then be cut to fit neatly around the wardrobe edges, preserving its movement capabilities leaving an expansion joint and put beading around the edge of the cabinetry so that it looks seamless. - **Use the right materials** – Ensure your wardrobe design includes proper leveling or supports to accommodate any unevenness in the subfloor once the floating floor is removed. For example we use full ladder kicks properly levelled for the highest quality finish and structural integrity. - **Consult Professionals** – Working with experts / qualified cabinet makers ensures your wardrobe is installed with the flooring in mind, avoiding costly mistakes or damage. ### **Conclusion** While you can install wardrobes on floating timber floors, the best approach is to plan the installation carefully to avoid pinning the floor down or compromising its ability to expand and contract. However, if renovating and the flooring is already installed or the timeline you are working to doesn’t permit it, then it is ok to install on a floating floor with a qualified expert. **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

Each project varies depending on the space, the scope of work, and the desired finishes. Here’s a breakdown of the key trades you might need for different types of renovations and what each can offer to your project. ### **Trades You May Need for Cabinetry Projects** If your renovation includes new cabinetry—whether for a built-in wardrobe, TV unit, bookcase, or linen storage—you’ll typically need: - Cabinet Maker: The centerpiece of your cabinetry renovation, a qualified cabinet maker designs, builds, and installs custom cabinetry tailored to your space and style. - Electrician: If you want LED lighting installed or need power points moved, a licensed electrician is essential. - Gyprocker/Cornicer: For finishing touches like cornices or re-sheeting walls, a gyprocker can help create a polished look. - Painter: Once the cabinetry is installed, a painter ensures the surrounding walls and trims are finished seamlessly to complete the space. ### **Wet Area Renovations: Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Laundries** Wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries require specialized trades due to plumbing and electrical needs. Here’s who you’ll need: - Plumber: Essential for installing or relocating water lines, drainage, sinks, and taps. - Electrician: For tasks like installing new power points, connecting appliances, or adding task lighting. - Tiler: Responsible for laying tiles on floors or walls, ensuring a waterproof and aesthetically pleasing finish. - Gyprocker and Painter: To repair and finish walls after plumbing or electrical work. Hiring a builder for these projects can simplify the process. Builders typically manage all the required trades, coordinate timelines, and ensure everything runs smoothly. However, it’s important to note that builders will charge a margin for their effort and expertise. The benefit? Builders often have a trusted network of skilled tradespeople who deliver quality work. ### **Dry Area Renovations: TV Units, Bookcases, and Wardrobes** For cabinetry renovations outside of wet areas, the process is typically more streamlined. You’ll usually need: - Cabinet Maker: Designs and installs your custom cabinetry. - Electrician: Only if electrical work like LED lighting or relocating power points is required. - Gyprocker and Painter: To touch up or finish walls after cabinetry installation. For dry areas, the demolition of old cabinetry can be handled by a cabinet maker, builder, or handyman. You could even tackle it yourself to save costs. If walls need to be reconfigured or repaired, you may need a builder and gyprocker before the new cabinetry is installed. ### **The Cabinetry Renovation Process** 1. Demolition: The old cabinetry is removed by a builder, handyman, or cabinet maker. The area is prepped for the new installation. 2. Preparation: Any structural work, like building or patching walls, is completed. This may involve gyprocking, painting, or relocating electrical points. 3. Installation: The cabinet maker installs your custom cabinetry, ensuring every detail aligns with the agreed design. 4. Finishing Touches: Once the cabinetry is in place, painters and electricians (if required) complete the final details. ### **Why Consider a Builder?** If your renovation involves multiple trades, hiring a builder can save you time and stress. They act as project managers, ensuring tradespeople are scheduled efficiently and that all work meets the required standards. Builders also have experience with troubleshooting and a network of trusted professionals, making them a valuable resource. ### **Planning for Success** Every renovation is unique, but understanding the trades involved and the sequence of tasks ensures your project progresses smoothly. Whether you’re working on a single room or a whole-home makeover, a clear plan and the right professionals will help you achieve a stunning, functional result. Ready to start your project?

Let’s explore the key points to help you decide. #### **1. Structural Integrity Without Ceiling Coverage** Fitted wardrobes don’t need to reach the ceiling to be structurally sound. High-quality wardrobes can have a built-in robe top that completes the structure while maintaining a polished look. This design allows for additional storage space on top of the wardrobe, but keep in mind that items stored here will remain visible and may detract from a tidy aesthetic. #### **2. Dust and Cleanliness** One downside of not extending to the ceiling is the potential for dust to accumulate on top of the wardrobe. Over time, this can be difficult to clean and might make the space look unkempt, especially in hard-to-reach areas. #### **3. Preserving Ornate Ceiling Features** In homes with ornate cornices or mouldings, it might be better to avoid building wardrobes right to the ceiling. These intricate features can be damaged during installation or removed altogether, and they’re often difficult or costly to replace if the wardrobe is taken down in the future. Preserving these details can help maintain the home’s character and value. #### **4. Seamless, Built-In Look** If you opt for wardrobes that extend to the ceiling, you can create a seamless, custom-built appearance. This option maximizes storage space, eliminates visible gaps, and ensures a clean, cohesive aesthetic. Ceiling-height wardrobes are especially useful in homes with high ceilings, as they make the most of otherwise unused vertical space. It can also be convenient to use the full height ceiling to conceal air conditioning behind the bulkhead. 5. **Ceiling Height** When planning your wardrobe, it’s essential to consider the ceiling height. For ceilings above 2700mm, an additional top section is typically required. This adds to the overall cost due to the need for extra materials, enhanced structural support, and additional installation time. **Final Thoughts** Deciding whether fitted wardrobes should go right to the ceiling comes down to balancing aesthetics, practicality, and your home’s architectural features. If you value extra storage and a clean, streamlined look, ceiling-height wardrobes may be the right choice. However, if preserving ornate ceilings or having a more flexible design is your priority, opting for wardrobes that stop short of the ceiling can still deliver an excellent result.

Here’s why cabinet makers are the superior choice and why Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry stand out in the cabinet making industry. **The Expertise of Trade-Qualified Cabinet Makers** Cabinet makers undergo a rigorous four-year apprenticeship that combines technical theory and hands-on experience. During this period, they learn about design principles, materials, and construction techniques. They spend years on the tools, honing their skills under the guidance of experienced professionals. This comprehensive training ensures they are well-versed in creating high-quality cabinetry. Cabinet makers also hold trade licenses and adhere to strict industry standards and safety regulations. For example, when securing overhead cabinets, they follow precise methods to ensure the cabinets can safely bear weight without the risk of detachment and potential injury. Similarly, they know the specific requirements for kitchen cabinetry to prevent hazards like combustion near cooktops. Their methods ensure the durability and safety of all types of cabinetry, including kitchens, wardrobes, offices, bookcases, and TV units. **Why Are Cabinet Makers More Expensive?** The higher cost associated with cabinet makers reflects the extensive training, technical expertise, and adherence to safety standards they bring to each project. Just as you would pay a premium for the services of an accountant, lawyer, or electrician, the additional expense for cabinet makers is an investment in quality and peace of mind. Engaging a trade-qualified cabinet maker ensures that your cabinetry will be constructed and installed correctly, reducing the likelihood of issues down the line. This long-term value far outweighs the initial cost savings you might achieve by hiring non-qualified laborers. **The Risks of Using Non-Specialised Laborers** In the cabinetry industry, particularly for wardrobe installations, there are many operators who are not trade qualified. These individuals may lack the technical knowledge and expertise required to meet industry standards. Without proper training, they might cut corners, resulting in cabinetry that is not only subpar in quality but also potentially unsafe. It’s crucial to ask any company you consider for your cabinetry project whether they employ qualified tradespeople. Ensuring that your project is handled by trained professionals will provide better results and a safer environment in your home. **Why Choose Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry?** At Fox, we pride ourselves on being trade-qualified cabinet makers.

So if you are finding your bedroom a little on the compact and bijou side, you’re definitely not alone – and it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your storage space either. At a time when styles are ever changing and product is more widely available, there is little wonder we’re all struggling to house our belongings in an orderly fashion. Despite a thorough Marie Kondo and all sorts of sparked joy, somehow there still never seems to be enough room – or the right sort of space – for what we need to accommodate. The answer? It’s all in the smart storage. **Under bed storage** A classic area for under-used space, there is a whole eco-system happening under that bed that you should definitely be tapping into. Gone are the days when nobody had a clue what was stuffed under there, let alone to try and work it out. The clever trick is to make the space accessible and user-friendly so that you really gain from the value. Ideally a space for lesser-used items, this is an ideal storage area for keeping linen, seasonal clothes changes or even travel bags and sporting equipment. Use rolling drawers that can easily be pulled in and out, or vacuum-pack bags to prevent discolouration or mould. If your bed sits flush to the floor you won’t miss out, bed risers are your new best friends. **Clear box storage** Remember that self-satisfied feeling when you’ve packed everything away neatly into boxes, and you cleverly store them away right up high to create more space in your bedroom…? Only to look up at them 2 months later and wonder what on earth is in each one? The solution has arrived: clear box storage for shoes, seasonal items and accessories. Never be left in any doubt again – because it’s all sorted in front of your very eyes. Invest in the cubed plastic because not only will your belongings stay neatly organised all year around, you will always know exactly where everything is which leaves you the time to spend doing what you really love. Stock up, and stack up. **Pin it** Who ever knew the humble corkboard would ever play such a diverse role in our lives? Fed up with scarves and accessories scattered over the floor? Tired of searching for lost earrings you are sure you put somewhere safe, but now cannot seem to find? Relax, the answer to these problems is probably already somewhere in your room under a pile of clothes. It’s time to dig out that corkboard, invest in some funky pins and get organising. Perfect for those itty-bitty items like jewellery and hair-pieces as well as larger lighter accessories such as scarves and belts, the corkboard is the fun way to display your collections. Say ‘hello’ to user-friendly, view-at-a-glance storage – and give a big welcome back to your bedroom floor! **Double up hanging rails** You have the perfect quality wardrobe, but could it be working just a teensy bit harder? It’s time to double down and add in another rail to supersize your hanging space. If you don’t fully utilise the full-length of your existing hanging space, a second rail can transform the capacity. Use the lower rail to hold your more everyday items while the top rail can house the lesser-used clothing that also need hanging. With everything you need right on hand when required and the space working double time, it’s a total win-win. ### Hanging around Quite simply, hooks are your friends. Whether they are over the door, inside the door or just plain up on a wall they are great for clearing floor space by housing all those extras like scarfs, belts, hats and bags that never quite make it back to the right spot. If you thought hangers were just for your clothing, it’s time to think again. These versatile customers are perfect for multiple tasks simply by using a few little tricks and twists that take no time at all. Try screwing in some smaller hooks to a wooden hanger and you have a ready-made jewellery showcase or some ideal belt storage. Shower curtain rings can be easily attached and then used for hat hanging, singlet slotting, tie arranging or scarf displaying. Think outside the box and deconstruct a wire hanger to use for storing all the kids’ scrunchies and hair accessories. The innocent hanger is transformed into the perfectly unique storage hack. **Categories:** Space, Tips, Wardrobes **Tags:** Fox Wardrobes, Sydney wardrobes --- ### [Custom Cabinets for Tricky Spaces](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/smart-storage-solutions/) **Published:** January 18, 2024 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** # Smart Solutions: Custom Cabinets for Tricky Spaces ### Ever felt stuck with an oddly shaped or small space in your home?

But where to begin? For many people, once they have parted with their money and signed on the line, a common complaint is that customer service and after-care seem non-existent. At Fox Wardrobes, we are entirely different – and here’s 8 reasons why. The number 8 has traditionally held significant properties in many cultures. In itself, the number 8 is balanced and ordered. It also represents new beginnings and regeneration. At Fox Wardrobes, we pride ourselves on delivering a balanced customer service with 100% satisfaction delivered from the outset. We believe our customers are partners for life and we treat them accordingly. That’s why we have a detailed **8-point service guarantee** that shows you exactly what you can expect when you work with us – giving you all the confidence you need to choose Fox as your partner of choice. 1. **We are always on time** From scheduled measuring appointments to installation and completion, we understand that your time is precious and that there is nothing more frustrating than missed opportunities. From the very first appointment we will provide a realistic and detailed mutually agreed process that will deliver your product to you, exactly on schedule. 2. **Your cabinetry will be functional and beautiful** Once you have selected a product from the extensive Fox wardrobe range, we can promise that your finished cabinetry will be designed and installed to perfection exactly as you had envisioned. After your project has been assessed and quoted, you have the opportunity to engage in and influence the design making any adjustments necessary so that your finished product not only looks fantastic, but does the job you need as well. 3. **We’re tidy** If you’ve ever had work done at home before, you will know that there is often a clean-up job to be sorted out on departure.

We grab Fox Wardrobes’ founder Chief Fun Fox, Chris Volpe, just between measures and meditation to get all the Foxy facts on the man behind the myth. ### Chris, can you tell us a little bit about where you grew up? I grew up in Ocean Shores just outside of Byron Bay and then relocated back to Sydney in Year 10 with my two brothers as they were already living in Sydney at the time. ### When you’re not living and breathing Fox Wardrobes, how do you like to spend your spare time? I love to have a daily dip in the ocean usually at Shelly beach or down at Manly, it really sets me up for the challenges ahead. I also enjoy snorkelling, scuba diving, yoga and meditation. I’m passionate about anything to do with health and wellbeing. I actually enjoy simplicity, just hanging out with my friends and family. I love to travel and see the world. It’s all about experiences for me. ### What is really important to you in life? Love & family! Learning and personal growth are also incredibly important to me, I spend a lot of time reading and absorbing because I thrive on taking on brand new information which helps me grow and learn. ### Who would you say are the biggest influences in your life so far? I look to varied sources for motivational advice and counsel. Personalities such as Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Napolean Hill and Oprah inspire me to reach further and higher. ### I hear you have a life philosophy around taking decisions? Absolutely! You miss 100% of the shots you never take. The decisions we make are incredibly powerful in terms of moving us forwards – even if they don’t work out. Failing is far better than not trying at all and quite often what we might view as a hurdle is actually the path we need to take. ### What’s the best book you have enjoyed recently? I’ve just finished Joe Dispenza’s ‘Becoming Supernatural’. It’s an amazing book about what your mind can achieve through regular meditation – and the incredible science-backed benefits that will follow. ### Not one for just lying back on the sun lounger and enjoying pure unadulterated fiction then? Does Harry Potter count? ### I was about to ask if there is anything personally you would like to improve on or learn – but it feels like this part of you never rests! I love who I am right now, but I genuinely feel that expansion is possible for everyone. I have a continual thirst to evolve and improve myself. ### What about doing something silly like jumping out of a plane, or cage-diving with sharks? Actually, I do have a bucket list! India and Machu Picchu are definitely on my travel hit list. Other than that probably my most dangerous ambition is to learn to fly a helicopter. ### If you were a coffee, what would you be? Definitely a cappuccino. I continually froth over with joy and enthusiasm and I’ve always got something sweet to add as a topping! ### Apparently Zorro, your Boston Terrier, has been complaining to the team that he spends more time in the office than you. Can you comment on this? No comment! ### Let’s talk Fox Wardrobes. Rumour has it, you’re actually an accountant. Explain. I studied Business Administration at University and then went on to study accountancy. I was working with one of my brothers whilst running my own business called ‘Chillazy’ (comfortable outdoor seating). Meanwhile, my other brother wanted some help with his custom cabinetry business so we joined forces. A further opportunity arose when it became apparent customers were dissatisfied with the level of quality and product in the market, and Fox Wardrobes was born. ### Where did the branding ‘Fox’ come from? It’s the English translation of our family name, Volpe. ### Clever! How do you see the Fox brand as offering anything different in this space? With all of our work we have in-house installers as full time employees. They are purely focused on the client and making sure the job is done right. Our sales Foxes are also all in-house and really care about our clients needs – not just closing a deal. In terms of product difference, we use aluminum shelving wraps for stability and longevity, as well as metal drawer sides and only the best board from Polytec and other local suppliers. We also use skilled cabinetmakers that actually take the trouble to clean up after themselves. It’s a definite step up in quality and care. ### How do you want your customers to feel after a Foxy experience? We want to create raving fans. We want customers to feel joy and a sense of excitement after having their new wardrobes installed. We aim to deliver a seamless experience that goes beyond expectation, to continually surprise and delight our clients. ### What words would your staff use to describe you? Friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, passionate and focused. Those would be the polite ones anyway! ### How would you describe the Fox company culture? I see it as like family. It’s more than simply a job. Everyone feels comfortable, hard work is always rewarded and we enjoy just coming in to see each other. At Fox, we are all working towards something bigger than just a wardrobe. We have a vision and we all share it. ### What would surprise people to know about working at Fox? Probably that our installers are full time employees, they care as much as I do. ### What do you enjoy most about your job? I love the personal growth I get from it. I’m passionate about business and about providing an excellent service with a team that can also learn and grow. I love the idea of training the next generation of business owners and cabinet-makers. ### Do you have any visionary ideas around the future of wardrobe design? Loads! I see 3D printed wardrobes in our future, conveyor belts to save on floor space, and augmented reality screens that image our outfit selection so that we don’t have to try the clothes on first. Just tap until the combination works. Imagine the time you could save by seeing upfront how each outfit would look, and not having to pull different clothes on and off! ### Where do you see the Fox business in 5 years time? I see us as a National business with Fox Wardrobes Dens in every state. I see Fox as having a really consistent product with super happy clients. I see team members running different parts of the business, personally fulfilled and challenged – and hopefully continuing to give back to the community in an expanded and ever growing way. ### If you weren’t working at Fox, where would you be, who would you be with and what would you be doing? That’s a tough one. I think I would be meditating on a beach in the Maldives! ### If you were left stranded on a desert island for the rest of your days and you could only take one thing with you, what would it be? My dog Zorro **Categories:** Fox --- ### [Painting after removing your old wardrobe](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/painting-after-removing-your-old-wardrobe/) **Published:** May 30, 2024 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** ## **Do You Need to Paint Your Walls After Removing an Old Wardrobe?** ### **To paint or not to paint, the age old question!** When embarking on a wardrobe renovation project, one common question arises: should you paint your walls after the old wardrobe has been removed? The answer largely depends on the type of cabinetry you plan to install and your personal preferences. At Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry, we aim to guide you through every step of your renovation process, helping you make informed decisions. **Understanding the Types of Cabinetry** Before deciding whether to paint, it’s essential to understand the different types of cabinetry and how they interact with your walls and floors. **Full Carcass Cabinetry:** - - **Definition:** Full carcass cabinetry is designed with a complete enclosure, meaning the back, sides, and the floor and ceiling of the unit are all solid panels. - **Implications:** Once installed, full carcass cabinets completely conceal the walls and floor behind them. Therefore, any imperfections or unpainted sections of the wall will not be visible. - **Recommendation:** If you’re installing full carcass cabinetry, painting the walls might be unnecessary. However, it’s still a good idea to ensure the wall surface is clean and free of mold or damage before installation. **Modular Cabinetry:** - - **Definition:** Modular cabinetry consists of separate units or modules that are assembled together. Unlike full carcass cabinets, modular units often leave portions of the wall and floor exposed. - **Implications:** Since you can see the walls and floor around and between the modules, any imperfections or unpainted areas will be visible. - **Recommendation:** For modular cabinetry, it’s advisable to paint the walls and potentially the floor areas that will be exposed. This ensures a polished and cohesive look for your new wardrobe space. **Factors to Consider When Deciding to Paint** 1. **Condition of the Walls:** If removing the old wardrobe reveals damaged or stained walls, painting is a practical way to refresh and repair these surfaces. 2. **Color Consistency:** If the existing wall color doesn’t match your new cabinetry or the overall design scheme, a fresh coat of paint can harmonize the space. We prefer the Dulux range. 3. **Personal Preference:** Ultimately, your preference plays a crucial role. If you desire a completely new look and feel for your wardrobe area, painting the walls can enhance the transformation. **If you do decide to Paint the walls, below are some helpful steps to follow!** 1. **Preparation:** Clean the walls thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Repair any damage, such as holes or cracks, with spackle or wall filler. 2. **Priming:** Apply a primer to ensure the paint adheres properly and to cover any stains or dark colors. 3. **Painting:** Choose a high-quality paint that matches or complements your new cabinetry. Use a roller for larger areas and a brush for edges and corners. 4. **Finishing Touches:** Allow time for the paint to dry completely before having you new cabinetry installed, this helps to avoid any smudges or damage. **Conclusion** Whether or not you need to paint your walls after removing an old wardrobe depends on the type of cabinetry you choose and your personal preferences. For full carcass cabinetry, painting might be optional. For modular cabinetry, it’s usually recommended to ensure a clean and finished look.

At Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry, we understand that each project comes with its unique set of challenges, and our expert team is well-equipped to handle these situations with precision and care. **Full Carcass Custom Construction:** For clients opting for full carcass custom construction, which offers unparalleled customisation and durability, our approach to dealing with uneven surfaces involves meticulous attention to detail. We utilise fillers and a ladder kick to scribe the cabinetry, ensuring a quality fit against walls that may not be perfectly square. Adjusting the fillers to the wall allows for variations in size while maintaining the squareness of the cabinetry. This level of precision ensures that all soft-closing doors and drawers operate smoothly and seamlessly, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. However, it’s important to note that this level of customization does come with additional costs, as it requires more extensive preparation and labour during both construction and installation phases. **Standard Wardrobes:** Alternatively, for clients seeking a more cost-effective solution, standard wardrobes offer simplicity and practicality. However, their design limitations mean that adjustments for uneven surfaces are more limited. In these cases, fillers may be larger, and doors may need to be adjusted to accommodate irregularities in the walls, floors, or ceilings. While the bottom and top tracks of the wardrobe will be leveled, the doors themselves may be set to the walls, resulting in visible gaps if swapped. However, when kept in their designated positions, the overall appearance remains visually appealing. **Choosing the Right Option:** When it comes to addressing uneven surfaces during cabinetry installation, the choice between full carcass custom construction and standard wardrobes ultimately depends on your specific needs and budget constraints. While full carcass construction offers superior precision and customisation, standard wardrobes provide a more economical solution for spaces where perfect alignment is less critical.   At Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry, our goal is to provide tailored solutions that meet your unique requirements while ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality. With our expert team by your side, you can rest assured that your cabinetry will be installed with precision and care, regardless of the challenges posed by uneven surfaces.

Understanding the difference between these two options and knowing when to choose each can greatly impact the functionality, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness of your storage solutions. #### **Full Carcass Custom Cabinetry:** Full carcass cabinetry refers to a solid construction wardrobe or cabinetry that is custom-built to specific sizes and designs. These cabinets are typically made using full boxes constructed from 16mm particle board and often feature hinged doors. Unlike standard wardrobes, full carcass cabinetry is meticulously designed and drawn for production, resulting in unique cutting lists and construction methods. This bespoke approach means that very few standard stock parts can be used in the making of the cabinetry. It also means that it will be more expensive due to more material and labour time in the design and construction of the cabinetry. #### **Standard Wardrobes:** On the other hand, standard wardrobes are a modular system that utilizes the existing walls, floor, and ceiling of the space rather than creating a full box structure. This design strategy is intended to reduce material usage and labour time in design, subsequently, overall costs. While full carcass construction is more commonly seen in kitchens, TV units, and bookcases due to their need for precise sizing and specifications, standard wardrobes can be a practical choice for storage spaces where visibility is less critical. We often find clients choosing standard wardrobes for kids and spare rooms whilst getting full carcass custom wardrobes for the master wardrobe especially if it’s a walk-in robe or walk through space. #### **Choosing the Right Option:** When deciding between full carcass custom cabinetry and standard wardrobes, several factors come into play. Considerations such as the visibility of the storage area, budget constraints, desired customisation levels, and overall aesthetic preferences should all be taken into account. Full carcass cabinetry offers unparalleled customisation and durability, making it ideal for prominent storage areas or spaces where specific design requirements must be met. On the other hand, standard wardrobes can provide a cost-effective solution for less visible areas while still offering functional storage options.  Ultimately, the choice between full carcass custom cabinetry and standard wardrobes will depend on your individual needs and priorities. By understanding the differences between these options and carefully evaluating your space requirements, you can make an informed decision that enhances both the functionality and style of your home.

Well, while we can’t exactly promise bliss ad infinitum, it’s certainly true that a good range of useful accessories tucked neatly inside your wardrobe can make life a whole lot easier. And best of all gives you the time to do the things that really matter. That’s a Foxy win-win! Here’s 6 of the very best in wardrobe accessories that will make the most of your wardrobe space and get your life back on to easy street. ## 1.The pull-out If you haven’t got something that pulls out tucked inside your wardrobe, you’re definitely missing a storage trick. From wire baskets to tie racks, from laundry bags to mirrors there is not much that does not come in a pull-out version. Why bother? Sometimes wardrobes can be situated in difficult areas where it is hard to see exactly what is going on inside, or maybe your clothes are simply jostling for space and the ability to pull an item clear of the mayhem can be a revelation. For small rooms pull-outs can work really well in helping to neatly house your belongings. Space-savers, functional and handy, pull-outs can really make your space work that much harder by customising the area to suit your clothes and individual needs. ## 2. Drawer inserts and dividers There’s nothing more frustrating than when your undies get mixed up with your socks, or you lose a crucial earring amongst countless scarves and ties. Fortunately, there is a solution and it comes in the form of drawer inserts and dividers. Don’t let your drawers become a magnet for random clothing, a haven for lost items and unworn clothes. For all of us time-poor peeps who would rather be out for an ocean dip than searching for the last part of an outfit, organisation is key and drawer separators are an absolute must. Divide and conquer, you’ll be dressed in a flash with time to kill. ## 3. Get hooked Convenience is king when it comes to bedroom storage, particularly for those short on space around the house. Utilise those empty doorframes for perfect hat and coat homes, with stylish and fun hook accessories. Try over-door hooks for easy install, or use multiple hook rails for organising those essentials like belts, ties or scarves. Even more perfect for a range of handbags – so you can simply grab and go. ## 4. Racks Certain items can simply be viewed better along a rack. When it comes to choosing your pants, rather than reaching for the top of the pile or the pair that just fell out – how wonderful it would be to [see at a glance](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) every pair that you own. Racks are perfect for ensuring your clothing is ready to wear and not crushed amongst the chaos inside. Try the same installation for your belts and scarves and enjoy dressing convenience at its very finest. ## 5. Shoe organisers Shoes are primary culprits when it comes to making your space look messy and cluttered. Some days you actually do need to wear four different pairs – you can’t help the weather systems. But the news is all good, because there is a way to house these growing numbers that won’t make your bedroom look like a department store in the mid-year sales. For the traditionalists there are plenty of internal storage systems available that use shelving, baskets or racks. For the more adventurous, think Manolo-style lazy susan and you have the perfect foot-shaped answer. ## 6. The secret space If you need somewhere to store precious items or documents, the wardrobe can provide a great solution. For the larger wardrobe units there is often space down low to secure a safe box, an area that would otherwise be un-utilised. Think clever about how drawer inserts might work using concealed areas that could house jewellery or other precious items.

At Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry, we understand that transitioning your clothing between seasons requires thoughtful care and organization. Here’s a guide to help you seamlessly switch out your summer attire for autumn essentials: 1. 1. **Assess Your Wardrobe**: Begin by taking stock of your current wardrobe. Pull out all of your summer clothing and assess each item for wear and tear, fit, and relevance to the upcoming season. Set aside pieces that you no longer wear or need. 2. **Declutter and Donate**: Use this opportunity to declutter your wardrobe and make space for your autumn wardrobe. Donate gently used clothing that no longer serves you to local charities or clothing drives. Not only does this help those in need, but it also clears out space for your new seasonal wardrobe. 3. **Clean and Store Summer Clothing**: Before stowing away your summer clothing, ensure that each piece is clean and free from stains or odors. Wash or dry-clean items as needed, and repair any minor damages like loose buttons or hems. Once cleaned, store your summer clothing in breathable garment bags or storage boxes to protect them from dust and pests. 4. **Invest in Proper Storage Solutions**: At Fox Wardrobes, we offer a range of customizable storage solutions to keep your clothing and accessories organized and protected. Consider incorporating shelving units, drawers, and hanging space into your wardrobe design to accommodate different types of clothing and accessories. 5. **Rotate Your Wardrobe**: As you transition your wardrobe from summer to autumn, rotate your clothing to ensure that your autumn essentials are easily accessible. Store lightweight summer items towards the back of your wardrobe or in higher storage spaces, and bring your autumn pieces to the forefront for easy grabbing. 6. **Prepare Your Autumn Wardrobe**: Before hanging up your autumn clothing, give each item a once-over to ensure that it’s clean and ready to wear. Check for any damages or stains that may have occurred while in storage, and address them promptly. Invest in autumn essentials like sweaters, jackets, and scarves to keep you warm and stylish as the weather cools down. 7. **Accessorize Strategically**: As you update your wardrobe for autumn, don’t forget to swap out your accessories as well. Pack away summer hats, sunglasses, and lightweight scarves, and replace them with autumnal accessories like beanies, gloves, and chunky scarves. Incorporate accessories in warm tones and textured fabrics to complement your autumn attire. 8. **Maintain Your Wardrobe**: Once your wardrobe transition is complete, make a habit of regularly maintaining and organising your clothing and accessories. Keep an eye out for any signs of wear or damage, and address them promptly to prolong the lifespan of your wardrobe essentials. At Fox Wardrobes, we’re committed to helping you create a wardrobe that transitions effortlessly between seasons.

You’re not alone! We see many questions online that question what a bulkhead is and how it effects the final result of your wardrobes. # Secrets of Bulkheads in Your Home Renovation In the vibrant world of home renovation, queries about bulkheads in bedrooms and linen closets are frequently asked. Recently, a homeowner shared her dissatisfaction with the bulkheads in her bedroom, prompting us to delve into this topic. In this article, we will discuss the purpose of bulkheads, explore their functionality, and provide tips on maximizing space while ensuring stylish and practical storage solutions. **Understanding Bulkheads: What Are They and What’s Their Purpose?** A bulkhead refers to a section of the ceiling in an interior space that’s been dropped, boxed-in, or enclosed. Typically seen in residential properties during new builds and renovations, bulkheads traditionally serve functional purposes. They hide wires and pipes, accommodate air conditioning units, and mask variations in ceiling heights. Moreover, they can be used to cap off cabinetry, sparing you the hassle of cleaning the often-neglected tops of cabinets. **The Pitfalls of Poorly Executed Bulkheads: What goes wrong?** Why do some homeowners end up dissatisfied? Often, in new home construction, builders work within tight budgets. To stay within budget, they may opt for a standard 2-meter high door with a shelf and hanging rod in the wardrobe spaces. While this is cost-effective, it results in oversized bulkheads—up to 40cm or more—especially in rooms with ceilings exceeding 2.4m. This compromises the functionality of the wardrobe’s top, a prime spot for storing large items like empty suitcases. However, there’s hope for homeowners seeking a balance between cost-effectiveness and functionality. Collaborating with builders who offer customization options, like GJ Gardner Sydney North, can lead to a reduction in bulkhead size to maximize door and internal wardrobe size. There are also some other builders [Fox Wardrobes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/builders/) works with that will also provide the flexibility to create cabinetry bulkheads, minimizing wasted space and maximizing storage potential. **Embracing Style and Functionality: What to Do With Your Bulkhead** Once your cabinetry is installed, you can choose what the bulkhead’s should look like. You can maintain a sleek square-set look or elevate it with a cornice, seamlessly integrating it into the wall for a stylish finish. As highlighted by our founder Victor, if a cornice is present, a bulkhead is necessary. Without the bulkhead, the wardrobe doors and cabinets would collide with the cornice. To maintain a harmonious look, we would recommend a 50mm clearance below the cornice profile. Victor also emphasized how the decision to include a bulkhead significantly influences the overall design and budget for the client. For instance, with higher ceilings like 3 meters, you could opt for a 2500mm finished wardrobe with the rest dedicated to the bulkhead. This not only adds a touch of sophistication to your space but also proves to be a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need for additional cabinets above. **Navigating Bulkheads with Confidence: The Key to Successful Renovations** While bulkheads are a crucial part of any renovation project, being well-informed allows you to minimize the impact on your storage functionality. By choosing options that align with your needs, you can ensure your storage spaces not only look great but also provide room for those hard-to-store items. Understanding and optimizing bulkheads can be the key to unlocking your stylish and functional living space. Choose wisely, and your home will thank you for years to come. We look forward to working with you, bringing your cabinetry project to life, and creating space for what you value. A space that’s not just functional but also a reflection of your style and needs.

We understand that every home is unique, and we’re excited to embark on this renovation journey with you. But before our designers step into your home for your measure and quote appointment, there are a few crucial things you should know to ensure a smooth and productive process. ## **The Ultimate Guide to Your Measure and Quote Appointment** **Your Measure and Quote Appointment:** We’re excited to embark on this journey with you, but before our designers arrive at your doorstep, there are some important considerations we’d like to share to make the process as smooth as possible. **Qualified Tradesman:** Our team of designers comprises highly skilled cabinet makers with years of experience. We’re passionate about crafting quality, stylish, and functional cabinetry that adds value to your home. It’s essential to ensure you’re working with a company that truly understands the trade. When organizing your quote, don’t hesitate to inquire about the qualifications of your salesperson to guarantee that your project is in expert hands. **Budget Considerations:** We understand that the price of cabinetry can vary significantly based on style, finishes, and construction. To prepare for your quote, we recommend having a budget in mind. Our on-site cabinet makers will walk you through the differences in finishes, styles, and pricing. This way, you can get the most out of your budget. We aim to provide you with a detailed, on-the-spot estimate, followed by hand-drawn designs and a written quote within 24 hours of your initial design appointment. **Time and Detail of Your Designer:** At your measure and quote appointment, our team members allocate a specific amount of time based on your project’s complexity. If you have additional spaces or require quotes for multiple cabinetry items, don’t hesitate to contact our office or designer to extend the appointment duration. We set aside enough time to ensure our designers collect all necessary information, perform a comprehensive needs analysis, and understand your vision. Our 14 years of experience have taught us that this dedicated time is crucial to delivering a quality result. When a designer spends just 15 minutes and fails to inquire about your needs and desires, it’s worth questioning whether they can truly meet your expectations. **Purpose of Cabinetry:** When our designer arrives, they’ll want to explore the spaces you’re interested in. They’ll ask a fundamental question: What’s the intended use of the space? Wardrobes aren’t solely for clothing; some serve as storage for linens or household items. Before your appointment, take a moment to consider your preferences. Would you like more hanging space, additional drawers, or more shelves? This forethought will help our designer create a tailored solution. **Samples, Styles, and Finishes:** Our designer will arrive equipped with a range of samples, showcasing various styles and finishes. They’ll also share photos of previous projects to help you visualize the potential outcomes. Our cabinetry is customizable to your specifications, and the choice of materials and finishes can impact the cost. If you’ve already done some research by exploring our website or social media, our on-site guidance will be more tailored to your vision and budget. **Demolition and Disposal:** If you have existing wardrobes that need removal, there’s no need to worry. Fox Wardrobes can assist with this process. However, if you prefer a DIY approach, you can refer to our online article on the [do’s and don’ts](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/diywardroberemoval/) of self-removal. It’s important to note that as cabinetmakers, we don’t handle structural work, such as removing walls or creating new spaces. For such tasks, you’ll need a licensed carpenter or builder. Our designers can provide guidance on what needs to be done and when. **Timeline and Strata Rules:** Before the project begins, it’s crucial to think about when you’d like it to start. If you live in a unit block, it’s equally important to consult with your strata to understand any specific rules regarding cabinetry installations. Our goal is to ensure that every step of your project proceeds seamlessly and with consideration for your unique circumstances. Our lead time is usually four to six weeks after your deposit is paid. Your designer can advise on current lead times at your appointment. We look forward to working with you, bringing your cabinetry project to life, and creating space for what you value. A space that’s not just functional but also a reflection of your style and needs. If you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out on 9971 8802.

While hiring a professional demolition and removal service is an option, many homeowners are choosing the DIY route to save on costs. If you’re thinking about tackling this project yourself, there are some critical do’s and don’ts to keep in mind, especially when it comes to assessing the situation and removing old built-in wardrobes. # DIY Wardrobe Removal: The Do’s and Don’ts ## Assess the Situation ### Do: Understand Your Wardrobe’s Structure Before you start swinging a sledgehammer or grabbing a reciprocating saw, take the time to understand the wardrobe’s structure. Ask yourself the following questions: - Is the wardrobe freestanding or built into the wall? - Is it attached to the floor or the ceiling? - Is the wardrobe a structural element of the room? Understanding these aspects will guide your approach and help you avoid costly mistakes. Freestanding wardrobes are typically easier to remove, whereas built-in wardrobes may involve more complex demolition. ### Do: Consult with Experts If you’re unsure about the structural implications of removing a wardrobe, it’s always wise to consult with experts. A structural engineer or contractor can provide valuable insights into whether the wardrobe is part of the room’s structural integrity. Removing a load-bearing wall, for instance, could compromise the stability of your home. If you know someone who might have a quick look for you it may be worth asking for help before you pick up the tools. ### Don’t: Rush the Assessment Impatience is not your friend in DIY demolition projects. Don’t rush through the assessment process. A thorough understanding of your wardrobe’s construction and its role in the room’s structure will save you time and prevent costly mistakes down the line. ### Don’t: Ignore Safety Precautions Safety should always be a priority. Regardless of whether the wardrobe is freestanding or built-in, remember to: - Wear safety gear, including goggles, gloves, and a dust mask. - Ensure there are no electrical wires or plumbing behind the wardrobe. - Shut off utilities (water, gas, electricity) if necessary. ## Removing a Built-In Wardrobe ### Do: Gather the Right Tools For built-in wardrobes, you’ll need the right tools for a smooth removal process. These might include: - A reciprocating saw for cutting through nails, screws, and wood. - A pry bar for disassembling components. - A utility knife for precision work. - A sledgehammer for more substantial demolition tasks. - Screwdrivers, pliers, and other hand tools for smaller tasks. Having the right tools will make your job safer and more efficient. We also hear that using a sledgehammer can be very therapeutic… and very satisfying! ### Do: Take Your Time Removing a built-in wardrobe can be intricate. Don’t rush the process. Take your time, and carefully remove each component. This will help minimize damage to surrounding areas and make it easier to patch and repair. ### Don’t: Neglect your environment Remember that a wardrobe removal can create a lot of dust and debris. Protect your home by: - Covering furniture and flooring with drop cloths. - Sealing off the area to prevent dust from spreading to other rooms. - Using a shop vacuum to minimize dust. ### Don’t: Overexert Yourself Demolition work can be physically demanding. Don’t push yourself beyond your limits. Take breaks, stay hydrated, and get help with heavy components when needed. ### Taking on a DIY wardrobe removal project can be a satisfying endeavor, and it can save you money. However, it’s crucial to assess the situation and proceed with caution, especially when dealing with built-in wardrobes. Understanding the structure, consulting with experts (carpenter/builder), and practicing safety measures are essential do’s, while patience, the right tools, and environmental protection are equally critical. Remember, your home is an investment, and with careful planning and execution, you can transform it to suit your vision without breaking the bank. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips **Tags:** Creating Space, Fox Wardrobes, renovation --- ### [Get the wardrobe you want!](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/get-the-wardrobe-you-want/) **Published:** September 30, 2023 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** After the bed the wardrobe is the next most important item to consider in the bedroom space. Unfortunately it can be an utterly confusing task trying to work out exactly what it is you need. Back on the plus side, there are a prolific amount of wardrobe options available – from wall to ceiling built-in robes, to trendy open storage hanging rails. But for many of us time-poor wardrobe-hunters it can be a daunting task that just keeps ending up back in the ‘too-hard’ basket. Well that basket is about to be completely emptied. Want to discover the right wardrobe for your bedroom? These 5 top tips will explain just how to get the wardrobe you want. ## 1. Identify your wardrobe needs Have you sat down and really thought about the job you are asking your wardrobe to do within the space you have? Get the measuring tape out and have a thorough investigation of the area. You may find that this dictates the size of the unit, the [doors](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/sliding-door-wardrobes/) that you choose as well as the style and [internal formatting](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/sliding-door-wardrobes/). Think about who will be using the space and how it will work best in that situation. Try and envisage this as an opportunity to upscale your storage and a way of closing the door on any unsightly clutter or challenging space. ## 2. Plan your storage Write down a list of everything that requires a home – from clothes that require hanging to items that need folding. Ascertain the [amount of drawers](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/wardrobe-internals/) you may like for items such as bulky jumpers, versus hanging space for your more formal items. Will you have room to accommodate extras such as jewellery, belts or even make-up? With bespoke units you can also make sure to keep [space](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) for those items that always make the room seem messy such as half-clean clothes that aren’t quite ready for the wash, or different shoe options hanging around the floor space. Wardrobes provide the perfect opportunity to shut it all away and get your magazine-worthy bedroom returned to you in a heartbeat. No matter what goes on behind closed doors! ## 3. Fitted or freestanding wardrobes? Well this is simply a whole other conversation… and [the great debate](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/creating-space-more-than-just-storage/fitted-or-built-in-wardrobes/) rages. Very simply, if you are invested in your property or have unusual spaces to work with, fitted wardrobes are the ideal solution. They are more permanent however, so if you find that you prefer to switch up the look and feel more frequently, freestanding units would be the safer purchase. For resale considerations, properties that have quality fitted storage solutions form an attractive proposition to potential buyers. Freestanding units have versatility on their side but you are limited with form and dimensions. Check out our blog on this [Built in or freestanding](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/built-in-or-freestanding-wardrobes/). ## 4. It’s all about the doors The [wardrobe doors](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/hinged-door-robes-vs-sliding-door-robes/) undoubtedly set the overall tone of the bedroom, so it’s important to get this one right from the start. If you are limited for space, sliding doors provide the ideal solution with minimal impact on the area. They give a sleek finished look with a range of finishes available. You can also double up on usage by incorporating a mirror. Think clever with your storage solutions by also utilising under the bed space, window seating as well as converting little nooks into seating areas or functional spaces. If you prefer hinged doors, make sure you have enough space for the doors to fully open and close without injury or furniture readjustment. Wardrobe doors are regularly hanging open so it’s important they be able to do this without hinderance. ## 5. What’s your wardrobe style? Your wardrobe choice should reflect the overall style of the bedroom whether that be modern contemporary, classic, shabby chic or somewhere in between. Decide which materials and colours will work best in accenting the existing look – unless you are considering a whole room overhaul. Mirrored wardrobes are a great option for creating a feeling of space as well as delivering a [contemporary look](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-top-design-predictions-for-2019/). Wooden doors can be painted to suit the theme, or even use a [painted decal](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/printed-decal/) to really create a feature space. Handles are the perfect way to add a touch of personality and individuality to the design with minimal effort involved and the added benefit of opportunity to change. Use the wardrobes to really make the space your own. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips, Wardrobes **Tags:** Creating Space --- ### [Floating or non-floating cabinetry?](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/floating-and-non-floating-cabinetry/) **Published:** August 23, 2023 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** ### When it comes to cabinetry installation, one of the key decisions you’ll need to make is whether to opt for floating or non-floating cabinets. # **Choosing Between Floating and Non-Floating Cabinetry: Pros and Cons** When it comes to cabinetry installation, one of the key decisions you’ll need to make is whether to opt for floating or non-floating cabinets. Each approach has its own set of benefits and considerations, and understanding these differences can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your design preferences and practical needs. **Floating Cabinetry: A Modern Twist** Floating cabinets, characterized by their sleek and open appearance, are attached to the wall without any visible support structures. Instead, they are typically hung on a secure mounting system. This design choice offers several advantages: **Benefits:** 1. **Aesthetics:** Floating cabinets create a contemporary and airy feel, giving your space a modern touch. 2. **Easy Cleaning:** With no base or legs touching the floor, cleaning underneath the cabinets becomes a breeze. 3. **Space Perception:** The open area beneath floating cabinets can visually expand the room, making it feel larger and less cluttered. However, floating cabinetry comes with its own set of considerations: **Considerations:** 1. **Weight Capacity:** It’s essential to ensure that your wall and mounting system can support the weight of the cabinets and their contents. 2. **Professional Installation:** Proper installation is crucial for stability. Professional measurements and mounting are necessary to achieve the desired floating effect. **Non-Floating or Built in Cabinetry: Traditional Stability** On the other hand, non-floating cabinets feature a visible base or legs that provide support and elevation from the floor. This design approach has its own set of benefits: **Benefits:** 1. **Stability:** Cabinets with a base or legs tend to be more stable and can accommodate heavier loads. 2. **Design Versatility:** Non-floating cabinets offer the flexibility to choose from various base or leg designs, allowing you to tailor the aesthetics to your preferences. 3. **Simpler Installation:** Mounting and leveling non-floating cabinets might be more straightforward compared to the precision required for floating cabinets. Nevertheless, there are certain considerations to keep in mind: **Considerations:** 1. **Aesthetics:** The visible base or legs might not align with all design themes and preferences. 2. **Cleaning Challenges:** Cleaning underneath cabinets with a base or legs can be slightly more challenging compared to floating cabinets. 3. **Design Fit:** Some design styles might be better suited for non-floating cabinets, while others might not harmonize as well. **Conclusion: Finding Your Perfect Fit** The choice between floating and non-floating cabinetry ultimately comes down to your design aspirations and practical needs. Consider factors like the weight of the cabinets, the structural integrity of your walls, the overall design theme of the space, and your personal style preferences. Another option to consider is to have fixed cabinetry that looks like its floating but actually sits on a recessed kick that supports the cabinetry. If you’re uncertain about which approach to take, seeking advice from a professional cabinet installer like the team members at Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry or interior designer can provide valuable insights. Remember that both options offer unique advantages, and the final decision should reflect your vision for the space and your lifestyle. In the end, whether you opt for the modern elegance of floating cabinets or the timeless stability of non-floating, your cabinetry choice will contribute significantly to the overall look and functionality of your space.

Built-in or freestanding wardrobes? # Built-ins or Freestanding Wardrobes – What are the differences? Among the various options available, two primary contenders stand out: the built-in wardrobe and the freestanding wardrobe. Both options have their own set of advantages and considerations, and the choice between them ultimately depends on your individual needs, preferences, and the layout of your space. In this blog, we’ll delve into the key differences between these two wardrobe types, helping you make an informed decision that best suits your lifestyle. ## ***Design and Aesthetics*** **Built-in Wardrobe:** Built-in wardrobes, also known as built-in or fitted wardrobes, are seamlessly integrated into the room’s architecture. They are custom-designed to match the dimensions and style of the room, providing a cohesive and polished appearance. [Built-in wardrobes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/sliding-door-wardrobes/) often blend seamlessly with the overall design, making them a preferred choice for those who enjoy a sleek and uncluttered aesthetic. **Freestanding Wardrobe:** Freestanding wardrobes, on the other hand, come in a variety of styles and designs that can add a touch of personality to your space. They are versatile and can be moved around, allowing you to experiment with different layouts and arrangements. Freestanding wardrobes can act as standalone pieces of furniture, contributing to the room’s overall decor. ## ***Using the space effectively*** **Built-in Wardrobe:** [Built-in wardrobes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/shaker-style-wardrobes-cabinetry/) are ideal for maximizing space utilization, especially in rooms with limited square footage. They can be customized to fit snugly into alcoves, corners, and niches, effectively utilizing every available inch of space. Wall-fixed wardrobes can also include features like sliding doors to further optimize space, making them a smart choice for small apartments and compact living areas. **Freestanding Wardrobe:** Freestanding wardrobes are versatile in their placement and can be positioned anywhere in the room. While they might not offer the same level of space optimization as wall-fixed wardrobes, they provide the flexibility to change the room’s layout as needed. Freestanding wardrobes are a great option for larger spaces or for those who enjoy rearranging their furniture from time to time. ## ***Customisation and Storage Options*** **Built-in Wardrobe:** Built-in wardrobes can be tailored to your specific storage needs. With customisable shelving, hanging rails, drawers, and accessory compartments, you can create a storage solution that perfectly suits your clothing, accessories, and personal items. This level of customization makes it easier to keep your belongings organized and easily accessible. **Freestanding Wardrobe:** While freestanding wardrobes might have predefined compartments, they generally offer less flexibility in terms of customisation. However, they do come in a variety of sizes and configurations to accommodate different storage requirements. Some freestanding wardrobes also offer options for adjustable shelving and drawer inserts. ## ***Installation and Portability*** **Built-in Wardrobe:** Built-in wardrobes require professional installation, preferably by a qualified [cabinetmaker](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/team-fox/) or joiner as they need to be securely attached to the wall. This ensures stability and longevity, making them a more permanent fixture in your space. **Freestanding Wardrobe:** Freestanding wardrobes are easy to install on your own, as they simply need to be assembled and positioned in the desired location. Their portability allows you to change their position or move them to a new space without much effort. However they are often less sturdy and not able to hold the same weight as a built-in wardrobe due to the materials used in bulk manufactured products. In the end, and in the realm of wardrobe choices, the decision between a built-in and a freestanding wardrobe boils down to your preferences, lifestyle, and the layout of your living space. A built-in wardrobe offers seamless integration and space optimization, while a freestanding wardrobe provides versatility and the ability to change up your room’s aesthetics. Consider the factors to make an informed decision that aligns with your needs and reflects your personal style. Whether you opt for the sleek elegance of a built-in wardrobe or the adaptable charm of a freestanding one, both choices have the potential to elevate your living space and streamline your organization efforts.

Within this craft, there are two prominent roles: cabinetmakers and carpenters. While both professionals work with wood, they possess distinct skill sets, focus areas, and project requirements. In this blog, we will delve into the world of woodworking to understand the key differences between cabinetmakers and carpenters, shedding light on their respective roles and contributions to the industry ## Cabinetmakers: Merging Artistry with precision Cabinetmakers are highly skilled craftsmen who specialize in creating custom cabinetry and woodworking pieces. Their work is often characterized by its intricate designs, attention to detail, and emphasis on aesthetics. These artisans possess a deep understanding of various wood types, finishes, and joinery techniques, enabling them to produce functional yet visually stunning items. Key Responsibilities of Cabinetmakers: - Designing and crafting custom cabinets, storage solutions, and other woodworking pieces. - Selecting premium wood materials and assessing their suitability for the project. - Utilizing advanced woodworking tools, including routers, planers, and joinery tools. - Incorporating innovative joinery techniques like dovetail, mortise and tenon, and box joints. - Applying intricate finishing touches, such as carving, inlay work, and unique hardware ## Carpenters: Building the Foundations Carpenters, on the other hand, are versatile professionals who work on a wide range of construction projects. Their expertise lies in structural work and practical applications of woodworking, making them indispensable in the building and renovation industry. Carpenters focus on constructing, installing, and repairing various wooden structures and components, from framing houses to installing doors and windows. Key Responsibilities of Carpenters: - Framing houses and other buildings, creating the skeletal structure. - Installing doors, windows, staircases, and flooring. - Building decks, fences, and outdoor structures. - Repairing and replacing damaged wooden components in structures. - Working with power tools like saws, drills, and nail guns for efficiency. ### What’s the difference in their education and training? Both cabinetmakers and carpenters require a solid foundation in woodworking techniques, but the depth of their knowledge and expertise varies. Cabinetmakers often pursue formal education or apprenticeships to learn specialized woodworking skills. They may attend trade schools or learn from experienced mentors to master the intricacies of design, joinery, and finishing techniques. A keen eye for design and aesthetics is a valuable asset for cabinetmakers, as they create pieces that are as beautiful as they are functional. Carpenters, on the other hand, typically learn through on-the-job training or apprenticeships. Many start as laborers and gradually acquire skills in carpentry techniques through practical experience. While a keen sense of craftsmanship is still essential, carpenters focus more on mastering structural integrity, measurement, and practical problem-solving. ### Who does what project then? Cabinetmaking projects tend to be smaller in scale but require a high level of attention to detail and precision. Each piece is a work of art, carefully crafted to meet the specific needs and desires of the client. In contrast, carpenters often work on larger construction projects, where precision and structural integrity are critical, but the emphasis is less on intricate designs. In summary, both cabinetmakers and carpenters play integral roles in the woodworking industry, but their focus, skills, and project requirements differ significantly. While cabinetmakers are artists who create bespoke furniture and cabinetry, carpenters are the backbone of construction, building the structures that form the foundation of our homes and buildings. The artistry of cabinetmakers and the practicality of carpenters complement each other, making woodworking a diverse and fascinating field. Whether it’s a beautifully carved cabinet or a structurally sound house, these skilled professionals continue to contribute their talents to enrich our lives with the timeless beauty and functionality of wood **Categories:** Fox, Tips **Tags:** Fox Wardrobes --- ### [Design trends in wardrobe handles!](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/design-trends-in-wardrobe-handles/) **Published:** June 30, 2023 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** When it comes to interior design, even the smallest details can make a significant impact. One such detail that often goes unnoticed but can elevate the overall aesthetic of your wardrobe is the choice of handles. The right wardrobe handles not only provide functional convenience but also add a touch of style and personality to your living space. In this blog, we will delve into the latest trends in wardrobe handles that are captivating the design world in 2023. ## Which handle is your favourite.. 1. Minimalistic Marvels: Minimalism continues to dominate the design scene, and wardrobe handles are no exception. Sleek and understated, minimalist handles offer a clean and contemporary look. Straight lines, slim profiles, and geometric shapes are key features in this trend. Materials like brushed metal, stainless steel, or matte black finishes are popular choices for creating a minimalist aesthetic. These handles effortlessly blend into any design scheme, adding a touch of elegance to your wardrobe. 2. Natural and Organic: In recent years, there has been a surge in the use of natural materials and organic designs in interior design. Wardrobe handles are embracing this trend by incorporating materials such as wood, leather, rattan, and even stone. These handles exude warmth and texture, creating a connection with nature and bringing a sense of tranquility to your space. Whether it’s a wooden handle with a smooth finish or a leather-wrapped grip, these natural elements infuse a touch of earthy sophistication into your wardrobe. 3. Statement Pieces: For those seeking to make a bold style statement, statement handles are the way to go. These handles are designed to be eye-catching, acting as a focal point in the room. Think oversized handles with intricate designs, vibrant colors, or unconventional shapes. Handles made from materials like acrylic, glass, or even porcelain can add a pop of color and a whimsical touch to an otherwise ordinary wardrobe. Statement handles are perfect for those who dare to be different and want to inject personality into their living space. 4. Vintage Charm: Vintage-inspired designs are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. To create a nostalgic and charming look, consider opting for antique-style wardrobe handles. Vintage handles often feature intricate patterns, ornate details, and a weathered finish. Brass, bronze, and pewter are popular choices for creating an aged appearance. These handles can transform a simple wardrobe into a focal point, adding a touch of old-world elegance and character to your space. 5. Handle-less Magic: A rising trend in modern wardrobe design is the handle-less approach. Achieved through innovative mechanisms such as push-to-open or touch-to-open systems, these wardrobes provide a seamless and streamlined appearance. The absence of handles creates a sleek and contemporary look while offering convenient access to your belongings. This trend is ideal for those who prefer a clean and minimalist aesthetic and enjoy the element of surprise.

Fireplaces not only provide warmth but also serve as a focal point in any living space. If you’re looking to take your fireplace to the next level, consider incorporating fireplace cabinetry. These elegant and functional additions can transform your hearth into a stunning centerpiece that combines practicality with aesthetics. In this blog post, we’ll explore the allure of fireplace cabinetry and how it can elevate the ambiance of your home. Our top five reasons are: 1. An Expression of Style: Fireplace cabinetry offers an excellent opportunity to showcase your personal style and complement your home’s interior design. Whether your aesthetic leans towards modern, rustic, or traditional, there are countless cabinetry options available to suit your taste. From sleek and minimalist designs to ornate and intricate details, fireplace cabinetry can be customized to match the overall ambiance of your space. You can choose from a variety of materials such as wood and stone, ensuring that your cabinetry harmonizes with the existing elements in the room. 2. Efficient Storage Solutions: Fireplace cabinetry provides not only a beautiful framework for your fireplace but also functional storage solutions. These cabinets can be designed to accommodate various items, such as firewood, kindling, and fireplace tools. By incorporating shelves, drawers, and compartments, fireplace cabinetry allows you to keep your fireplace essentials organized and easily accessible. This ensures a clutter-free and tidy living space while providing a convenient place to store all your fire-related necessities. 3. Display and Décor Opportunities: In addition to their storage capabilities, fireplace cabinetry offers a platform to display decorative items and cherished mementos. By incorporating shelves or glass-front cabinets, you can showcase your favorite books, family photographs, artwork, or collectibles. The combination of a roaring fire and carefully curated objects creates a visually appealing focal point that draws attention and adds personality to your living space. You can change the display seasonally or according to your preferences, providing endless opportunities for creativity and customization. 4. Functional: Fireplace cabinetry is not limited to storage and display features alone. It can also be integrated with other functional elements such as media centers or home entertainment systems. With careful planning and design, your cabinetry can seamlessly incorporate a TV, speakers, or media consoles, allowing you to enjoy both the cozy ambiance of a crackling fire and your favorite movies or music. This integration brings together two essential elements of a living space, providing a harmonious blend of relaxation and entertainment. 5. Increased Home Value: Investing in cabinetry can enhance not only the aesthetic appeal but also the overall value of your home. Potential buyers are often drawn to homes with well-designed fireplaces, as they symbolize warmth, comfort, and timeless elegance.

Flooring is one of those items that we get asked about a lot! At Fox Wardrobes we can install flooring in any standard built in robe. You won’t need flooring in custom full carcass robe as you don’t see the floor in this particular design. So, Flooring? – Do you need it? What are the perks? Is it expensive? ## Wardrobe flooring in a standard built in robe Picture this: You swing open the doors of your wardrobe, ready to conquer the day with style. But wait! What’s that beneath your shoes? It’s not just any ordinary surface—it’s a fabulous flooring fit for a fashionista! Having flooring in your wardrobe isn’t just practical, it’s downright exciting (well for some of us!!) 1. Cleanliness and hygiene: Flooring helps to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your wardrobe. It provides a barrier between your clothes and the underlying surface, preventing dust, dirt, and potential allergens from accumulating on your clothing. 2. Protection for your clothes: A solid flooring surface protects your clothes from any potential damage that could be caused by an uneven or rough underlying surface. It prevents snags, tears, or stains that might occur if your clothes come into contact with a rough floor. 3. Improved organization: With a dedicated flooring surface, you have the opportunity to organize your wardrobe more effectively. You can use the floor space to place shoe racks, storage boxes, or additional shelving units, maximizing the storage capacity of your wardrobe. 4. Enhanced aesthetics: A nicely finished flooring surface can enhance the overall appearance of your wardrobe. It adds a sense of completeness and sophistication to the space. You can choose from various flooring options, such as hardwood, laminate, vinyl, or carpet, based on your personal style and the desired aesthetic of your wardrobe. 5. Easy maintenance: Flooring surfaces are generally easier to clean and maintain compared to bare surfaces. You can sweep, vacuum, or mop the floor as needed, ensuring that your wardrobe remains clean and tidy. 6. Noise reduction: Flooring can help to reduce noise within your wardrobe space. It absorbs sounds and prevents them from echoing or resonating, creating a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere. Overall, when considering having flooring it’s important to consider your storage needs, style preferences, and budget. Flooring for a small two door sliding robe can start from around $180 depending on the size. While having flooring in your wardrobe is not a necessity, it can certainly add value and convenience to the overall functionality and appearance of the space. Ultimately, the decision to install flooring in your wardrobe depends on your personal preferences, budget, and the specific requirements of your wardrobe. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips **Tags:** Custom storage, Fox Wardrobes --- ### [Sustainable Business Solutions Forum](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/sustainable-business-solutions-forum/) **Published:** May 15, 2023 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Excerpt:** Jostling for conversational space alongside Trump, Brexit and the latest Sea Eagles score-line, the great wardrobe debate continues to rage at any half-decent dinner party.

However, the process can be more complicated than you might think, especially if the wardrobe is an existing built-in wardrobe that is attached to the wall or floor. In this post, we’ll go over some tips for ripping out an existing wardrobe and preparing the space for a Foxy new one! ## Removing an existing wardrobe ## 1. Assess the situation Before you start ripping out your old wardrobe, it’s important to assess the situation and determine what type of installation you’re dealing with. Is the wardrobe freestanding, or is it attached to the wall or floor? Is it a structural element of the room, such as a load-bearing wall? These factors will impact how easy or difficult it is to remove the wardrobe, as well as what measures you’ll need to take to prepare the space for a new one. You may also want to leave any architraves depending on your new built in wardrobe, making sure not to remove too much is also important! ## 2. Removing a built in wardrobe If the wardrobe is a built-in that is attached to the wall or floor, you may need to do some demolition work to remove it. This could involve removing gyprock or plaster around the wardrobe, cutting through nails or screws, or using a reciprocating saw to cut through the wardrobe itself. It’s important to take your time with this process and be careful not to damage any surrounding areas. When removing a built-in wardrobe, it’s also important to consider whether it’s a structural element of the room. If the wardrobe is a load-bearing wall, removing it could compromise the integrity of the structure, we don’t want anyone’s upstairs to start falling down! In this case, you’ll need to consult with a structural engineer or builder to determine the best course of action. ## 3. Patching and painting Once the wardrobe is removed, you’ll likely be left with some holes or gaps in the wall or floor. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need to patch these areas before installing a new wardrobe. This could involve filling in holes with spack-filler or joint compound, or using wood filler to repair any damaged areas in the floor. After patching the walls and surrounds, you’ll also need to paint the area to match the surrounding walls or floor. This will help to create a seamless transition between the old and new elements of the room. If you don’t feel like painting it is possible to get backing on your wardrobe, as well as flooring. #### Ripping out an existing wardrobe can be a challenging process, but with the right preparation and tools, it’s definitely doable. By carefully assessing the situation, taking the necessary demolition and repair measures, and installing a new wardrobe properly, you can create a beautiful and functional space that meets your needs and preferences. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips **Tags:** Creating Space, Fox Wardrobes, renovation --- ### [Wardrobe accessory must haves!](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobe-accessories-must-haves/) **Published:** April 26, 2023 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** When investing in a built-in or walk in wardrobe, there are several extras that you may want to consider, depending on your needs and preferences. After all, at Fox Wardrobes we believe that well organised storage is the key to eternal happiness! A few added extras and useful accessories can be life changing! Imagine opening your organised drawers and being able to find exactly what you need, every time! I know! It can happen! Read on for our wardrobe accessory must haves that will make the most of your wardrobe space and have you loving your storage. ## Wardrobe accessory must haves! ## 1.The pull-out If you haven’t got something that pulls out tucked inside your wardrobe, you’re definitely missing a storage trick. From wire baskets to tie racks, or laundry bags to mirrors there’s not much that does not come in a pull-out version. Why bother? Sometimes wardrobes can be situated in difficult areas where it is hard to see exactly what is going on inside, or maybe your clothes are simply jostling for space and the ability to pull an item clear of the mayhem can be a revelation. For small rooms pull-outs can work really well in helping to neatly house your belongings. One of our favourite ones are pull out baskets. Adding pull-out baskets to your built-in wardrobe can provide a convenient place to store items such as laundry, linens, and seasonal clothing. ## 2. Lighting While this will attract additional cost, for those of us that are able to put part of their budget towards LED lighting in their wardrobes, there’s no going back. Often bedrooms have much lower level or softer lighting, so when opening the doors and trying to see into your wardrobes it can really difficult! The more stuff packed in their the harder it gets, I have seen people use torches… Often LED strips can be added above or below your hanging clothes and can be activated with a motion sensor (fancy!). It also feels a little luxurious and being able to find exactly what you need because you can see your things – winning! ## 3. Mirrors While this may seem obvious to some, there are many door styles and finishes that don’t include a mirror. Ever tried to see what you look like all dressed up and had to use the bathroom mirror? Painful isn’t it! Incorporating mirrors into your built-in wardrobe can serve multiple purposes. Mirrors can not only help you get dressed, but make your space look larger, and add an element of style to the design. At Fox Wardrobes we do a lot or mirror insert sliding and hinged doors. With a hinged door you can always select to have the mirror attached to the rear of the door instead, which will keep it hidden when the doors are closed. ## 4. Shoe organisers Shoes are primary culprits when it comes to making your space look messy and unorganised. Fear not, there is a way to house these growing numbers that won’t make your bedroom look like a department store in the mid-year sales. For the traditionalists there are plenty of internal storage systems available that use shelving, baskets or racks. Often you can find great deals online for extra inserts that will easily sit in the wardrobe. Or if you want to be a little fancy, it is possible to do adjustable shelves from the floor up, they are in a more slender tower that is 300mm wide, but you can make this bigger if you like. You often see these in a custom designed walk in robe and look spectacular when done is Polytec’s colour board range. ## 5. Get hooked Convenience is king when it comes to bedroom storage, particularly for those short on space around the house. Utilise those empty doorframes for perfect hat and coat homes, with stylish and fun hook accessories. Try over-door hooks for easy install, or use multiple hook rails for organising those essentials like belts, ties or scarves. Even more perfect for a range of handbags – so you can simply grab and go. ## 6. Racks Certain items can simply be viewed better along a rack. When it comes to choosing your pants, rather than reaching for the top of the pile or the pair that just fell out – how wonderful it would be to [see at a glance](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) every pair that you own. Racks are perfect for ensuring your clothing is ready to wear and not crushed amongst the chaos inside. Try the same installation for your belts and scarves and enjoy dressing convenience at its very finest. ## 7. The secret space If you need somewhere to store precious items or documents, the wardrobe can provide a great solution. For the larger wardrobe units there is often space down low to secure a safe box, an area that would otherwise be wasted. Think clever about how drawer inserts might work using concealed areas that could house jewellery or other precious items. Or even a secret door that looks like a fixed panel! ## 8. Drawer inserts and dividers There’s nothing more frustrating than when your undies get mixed up with your socks, or you lose a crucial earring amongst countless scarves and ties. Fortunately, there is a solution and it comes in the form of drawer inserts and dividers. Organisation is key and drawer separators are an absolute must. There are actually different kinds of dividers, its important to understand what is available 1. Customized dividers: Customized dividers can be made to fit the exact size and shape of your drawers, maximizing the use of space and ensuring a perfect fit. 2. Adjustable dividers: Adjustable dividers can be moved around within the drawer to accommodate different sizes of clothing or accessories. 3. Jewelry inserts: Jewelry inserts can help organize your necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, preventing them from getting tangled or lost. We love the adjustable inserts from [Nikpol](https://www.nikpol.com.au/jewellerybl) 4. Sock and underwear inserts: Sock and underwear inserts are designed with specific compartments to keep these items separated and easy to find. 5. Belt and tie inserts: Belt and tie inserts have hooks or hangers to keep these accessories organized and wrinkle-free. Overall, when investing in a built-in or walk in wardrobe, it’s important to consider your storage needs, style preferences, and budget to determine which extras are worth the investment. Picking the right accessories and extra’s for you will see you divide and conquer, you’ll be dressed in a flash, looking perfect and all with time to kill! **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips **Tags:** Custom storage, Fox Wardrobes --- ### [Custom wardrobe or sliding-door wardrobe](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/custom-wardrobe-or-sliding-door-wardrobe/) **Published:** April 16, 2023 **Author:** Leah Hutcheson **Content:** ## Custom wardrobe or sliding-door wardrobe: Our comparison When you’re considering purchasing a new wardrobe and you are trying to work out where to start and what type of doors you would like on your wardrobe it can be overwhelming! There are quite a few options available, whether its a sliding door wardrobe or a hinged door wardrobe you need to consider all your options! If you want it customised to your needs (extra shoe storage please!) then having a custom wardrobe is for you. If you need the kids to hide their floor-robe when you’re having people over then a standard sliding door robe it is! ### Custom wardrobe or sliding-door wardrobe, where to start? ### **Top things to consider:** 1. Size of the room 2. Access into the wardrobe 3. Finish of the doors and handle types 4. Your needs, preferences & style 5. Your budget ### **Size of the room** While you may like the style and look of a hinged door robe unfortunately depending on the space available it isn’t always practical. A smaller bedroom may not allow the doors to swing open fully, which really defeats the purpose of having hinged doors! A sliding door wardrobe will likely be better suited to smaller spaces as it allows the doors to slide behind the other doors, the only downside is having to move the doors around to fully see your wardrobe. Sliding door wardrobes have become incredibly popular over time as houses are getting smaller and units are increasingly being built. With a custom designed hinged door wardrobe you get to choose the style, the materials, and the features can be customised to suit your needs. The wardrobe cabinetry is solid construction cabinets which means there is more material used and more creation time involved as each wardrobe is different. You can have your wardrobe going to the ceiling with storage above if you wish. Due to the wardrobe being hinged doors it does take up more space in the room. Where as with a sliding door wardrobe the internals are more of a modular construction. They have standard shelf towers, standard drawer towers and the length of the wardrobe is then taken up by either long hanging or double hanging. There is not as much material used for construction and you see the floor, the back wall and ceiling. Your sliding door wardrobe can go to the ceiling, however the storage is limited compared to your custom wardrobe. ### **Access into the wardrobe** Hinged Door Wardrobes are great for access. If you have the space, and just want to see it all – you can fling those doors open wide! You can literally see everything inside the wardrobe and you can get access to all areas of the robe at the same time. Sliding door wardrobes on the other hand won’t provide you with the same access and viewing pleasure but are so good for saving space! They leave room in your bedroom to be able to move around, which depending on the size and access can be a real bonus!  ### **Finish of the doors and handles** Sliding Door Robes can be made from a range of glass like mirror, white glass, grey mirror and coloured glass (they come in a frame for safety). Hinged Door Wardrobe doors can’t be made from glass, however they can have a mirror insert. Both door styles can be made from our favourite door finishes like Polyurethane, laminated MDF from Polytec or even left raw for painting or the addition of wallpaper. ([Read more](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/hinged-door-wardrobes/)). There’s multiple door style options including shaker, flat panel and v-groove. Sliding door wardrobes can only have recessed fingerpull handles, this is so that the doors can slide past each other. Hinged door wardrobes on the other hand can have a whole variety of handles such as knobs, lip pull, brass, copper, timber, black tones, even blingy handles! We love Kethy for all things handles, you can check them out at [Kethy](http://www.kethy.com.au) . You can find an amazing range of handles out there, or reuse some you might want to repurpose.   ### **Your needs, preferences and style** Everyone has a different preference in style, and we all have different wants and needs when it comes to our wardrobes and what they provide. For some its a investment in their home, the sheer satisfaction of having a custom robe that caters to your every storage need is AMAZING! For others it may be the spare room robe, something not long term or a rented investment property, it may not make sense to invest in a custom robe for these spaces. Even the tiniest bedroom needs a wardrobe, sliding doors it is. Its important to note that sliding doors can look FABULOUS, a shaker style polyurethane door looks stylish and elegant. Yes please! If you choose a shaker, flat panel or v-groove style door you can pick any colour you want when you choose to get them painted in polyurethane. ### **Your budget** Its no surprise that hinged door wardrobes are more expensive than sliding door wardrobes when comparing like for like door finishes. The reason for this is that hinged door wardrobes take much longer to install, the installers need to spend time adjusting and fitting the doors. Also the maximum width width for a hinged door is 600mm, whereas sliding door wardrobes can have a maximum door width of 1200mm. This means that you generally need double the quantity of doors. If you choose to have a custom designed interior over the standard sized towers and shelving you can also expect an increase in cost. ### **Our conclusion** There are pros and cons for buying both a custom wardrobe or sliding-door wardrobe. There are a lot more internal options when choosing a hinged door wardrobe. You might even go a little crazy and get a hinged door wardrobe in the master bedroom and sliders in the kids/spare rooms! They both have there place in the world but you just need to decide what suits you best!

At Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry we love the environment and strive to keep our den and business running in the most efficient way we can. We’re all about recycling, reducing waste and sustainability! ### A little about our Foxy selves Recycling and sustainability are super important to us! Fox wardrobes started running the business off approximately 90% solar power in 2020. To really get our den up to speed we replaced all of our office and factory lighting with energy efficient LED lighting. With these business changes and investments we are saving the equivalent of 22,057 litres of petrol per year / 25,068 kg of coal per year / planting 1,328 trees per year and this is just the beginning! We worked with our major supplier [Polytec](https://www.polytec.com.au/about/environment-and-sustainability/) to find a way to re-purpose and recycle our offcuts. Thanks to our amazing supplier and a change in process in the factory we now send around 40% of our waste back to the manufacturer to be used for new product! We also recycle 100% of our soft plastics, aluminium and cardboard waste. All of these items are diverted away from landfill to be re-purposed and re-used. ### How do we do sustainability? Fox Wardrobes is serious about using eco-friendly materials. No toxic finishes or dodgy wood here. We use low VOC finishes and nontoxic board material because we care about our clients wellbeing and the planet. We’re pretty much like the Batman and Robin of wardrobe construction, fighting against harmful materials, chemicals and the norm of how wardrobes manufacturing are currently being done. Fox manufacture in house locally at the northern beaches to maintain control over our sustainability processes. At our factory we installed a state of the art dust extraction system, this not only keeps our team safe but saves all the saw dust flying around in the environment. Our production process utilises a computer drawing program to get precise cutting done on our CNC machine. This helps minimise waste to the MAX! Last but not least, Fox Wardrobes makes sure our products last longer than your average Hollywood marriage. We don’t believe in fast fashion or disposable cabinetry. At Fox we make wardrobes and cabinetry that are built to last, because we’re not just building a product – we’re creating space for what you value! ### Our mission is to lead the way for recycling! By 2030, our goal is to find a solution to recycling MDF board or use a different substrate which can be recycled safely (we believe this is an industry wide issue because it isn’t currently able to be recycled safely) and to find a cost efficient solution to change Fox fleet from petrol/gas to electricity. Stay tuned for progress updates on our sustainability mission, you can keep up to date here [Our sustainable vision.](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/team-fox/sustainability/) We hope all businesses in trade will try to implement similar programs and processes! ### On that note, we’ll leave you with this!

Lets talk about our favourite mould free wardrobe tips. #### Have you every opened your wardrobe doors and noticed a musty smell?? ### Intruder alert! There’s a sneaky intruder lurking in our wardrobes, and it’s not the junk we threaten to throw out! It’s something even scarier: mould! Between the rainy and damp weather, followed by humid weather, this uninvited guest can show up unannounced! Out of nowhere turning our once-pristine homes, and particularly wardrobes, into a musty smelling funky mess. The horror! There’s a good chance you may need to clean out your wardrobe. All of us have shoes and clothes that don’t see the light of day very often. Jackets and shoes can pick up lots of nasties when you wear them and then put them away after use. Ever pulled your favourite winter boots or winter coat out only to see they’ve picked up a new look? Argh gross! Fear not, my brave foxes! With a few handy mold free wardrobe tips and tricks (and maybe a little bit of bleach), we can banish this unwelcome pest and reclaim our wardrobes as the clutter-free storage spaces they were meant to be! ### Our top seven mould free wardrobe tips! 1. Keep it clean, foxies! Mould loves to grow in dirty, damp spaces, so make sure you’re giving your wardrobe a good wipe out every now and then with a damp cloth and mild detergent. 2. Give your clothes some breathing room. Try to avoid filling your wardrobe to the brim with clothes, leaving no space for air to circulate. This can create a humid environment that mould adores. Eek! Good air circulation helps to prevent the build-up of moisture in your wardrobe. 3. Keep an eye on the humidity levels. Invest in a dehumidifier or some moisture-absorbing products to keep the air in your wardrobe nice and dry. 4. Avoid storing wet clothes: Clothes that are wet or damp can create a moist environment in your wardrobe, making it an ideal breeding ground for mould. Dry your clothes and shoes thoroughly before storing them in the wardrobe. 5. Use natural anti-mould agents: You can use natural agents like white vinegar, tea tree oil, or grapefruit seed extract to keep mould at bay. Mix one part vinegar or tea tree oil with three parts water and spray the solution inside the wardrobe. Alternatively, you can add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract to a spray bottle filled with water and spray inside the wardrobe. 6. You could also use mother nature to hep! Mould hates sunlight, so consider leaving your closet door open during the day to let some natural light in. 7. Be proactive! If you notice any signs of mould, act fast! Remove any affected items and clean the area thoroughly to prevent it from spreading. .In a room that doesn’t get a lot of natural sunlight or air flow it may be optimal to vent the wardrobe.

Wardrobes: To fit, or not to fit?If you’re thinking of planning a new home for your clothes and shoes any time soon and can’t decide the best way to give them the quality wardrobe surrounds they truly deserve, stay put. This is the article you have been waiting for.
**Content:** #### Sliding doors or hinged doors? Which one to choose for your wardrobes? #### Hate not being able to see all your clothes in the wardrobe in one go, hinged it is! Or maybe you prefer the space saving of a sliding door? The great debate continues, each have their merits. If you’re planning a new wardrobe for your home and can’t decide then stay put. This is the article you have been waiting for. ### Which style to choose? When it comes to choosing the right wardrobe for your home, the style of the doors is an important choice. There are two main types of wardrobe doors, sliding doors and hinged doors. While both types have their advantages and disadvantages, there are some distinct benefits between sliding wardrobe doors and hinged door wardrobes that make the decision harder for some homeowners. One of the main advantages of sliding wardrobe doors is that they can save space. Unlike hinged doors, which swing out into the room, sliding doors slide open and close on tracks. This means that you don’t need to leave any space in front of the wardrobe, which is very useful in smaller bedrooms. With sliding doors, you can maximize the available space in your room while still having plenty of storage space in your wardrobe. ### Sliding door wardrobes Sliding wardrobe doors offer a sleek, modern look that can complement any existing design schemes. They are available in a range of styles, finishes and materials which makes it easy to match the style of your room. Some examples are [Polytec’s colourboard range](https://www.polytec.com.au/products/melamine-woodmatt/) , a polyurethane finish, a thermolaminate finish, mirror or white glass. Polyurethane finished doors are the most expensive, with thermolaminate doors being similar in price. White glass, mirror and melamine doors are the most cost effective. All mirror and white glass doors do require an aluminium frame, they also have a protective plastic sheet on the back to ensure safety should something break. A mirrored sliding door can really help a smaller room feel more spacious and help provide more light to the room. ### Hinged door wardrobes Hinged door wardrobes also have their advantages. They are a more traditional option and can add a classic touch to a room’s décor while still having a modern look, particularly when finished in polyurethane. Hinged doors offer the ability to fully open the wardrobe, which can make it easier to see and access all your items at once. A hinged door wardrobe also allows for a more customised internal layout as the internals are often made with full carcass solid construction. This means you have sides, tops, bottoms and backing in your wardrobe. The maximum width for a hinged door is 600mm as the weight can become to much and the doors will bow. If your home has pitched ceilings, no problem, the doors can follow the angle along. Or if you have high ceilings extra cabinets can be put above to maximise your storage space. Bespoke designs will transform your [bedroom storage](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) . ### Polyurethane & Thermolaminated sliding or hinged doors The reason polyurethane finishes are the most expensive is due to the labour involved. Polyurethane doors are hand painted, just like a car finish. As it is a paint, it can be scratched or chipped. The main advantage with polyurethane is the option for different door designs. The most popular options are Shaker style, V groove or flat panel doors. Often the choice may be to match the existing style of your home. You have more choice of colours, choose any colour you want from Dulux or other paint ranges! With both sliding and hinged polyurethane doors you are not required to have an aluminium frame around the door. Themo is a plastic wrap which wraps around your door. It is slightly lower in price from polyurethane and is more durable. Whilst there are not as many colours to choose from, you do have a choice between shaker or V-groove profiles. The vinal wrap is guaranteed for 7 years, however it’s worth noting the plastic could peel off. ### How to decide? Ultimately, the choice between sliding and hinged wardrobe doors will depend on your individual needs, investment, and style preferences. If you have a smaller bedroom and want to save space, sliding doors may be the better option. If you prefer a more custom look or need full access to your wardrobe, go with hinged doors. Choosing a classic look will ensure your wardrobes will not date or feel out of place in years to come. With the wide range of styles and materials available for both types of doors, you can find a wardrobe that meets your needs. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips, Wardrobes **Tags:** hinged doors, sliding doors, wardrobes --- ### [5 Best Wardrobe Finishes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/5-best-wardrobe-finishes/) **Published:** June 14, 2018 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** # Consider these when purchasing your sliding door wardrobe When someone is considering the purchase of sliding doors for wardrobes to update their existing wardrobe or they are buying a new wardrobe there are many options out there to choose from. And although each option has its pros and cons this article will discuss our favourite 5 and their benefits. ## 5 best door finishes and their benefits  ### 1) Mirror Wardrobe Doors Mirror sliding doors for wardrobes open up a room expanding it and making it feel more spacious. They also rebound light around the room which can bring a little bit of joy to a dull room!! Its affordable and functional a place to get changed in front of and check yourself out when your feeling Foxy! It’s only $200 (inc GST) per door.  ### 2) White glass wardrobe doors Our favourite white glass for wardrobes is the OPTI super clear white glass by Viridian Glass (Visit [Viridian](https://www.viridianglass.com/) for more information) they love glass and we love their glass! This glass soaks in the beautiful light streaming through a window and disperses it gently around a room. Rather than being super reflective like the mirror wardrobe door this glass finish is perfect for a beachie home which is north facing and gets a lot of light. Its smooth and elegant and doesn’t cost a whole lot at $270 (inc GST) per door.  ### 3) Laminated/Melamine Board wardrobe doors We love Polytec’s range of laminated/melamine board from Polytec for Wardrobe doors. They have great colours which suit a range of styles they are affordable and they look Sexy as! The flat panel look is sleek and sophisticated and the woodgrain finishes make your wardrobes a statement (Visit [Polytec](https://www.polytec.com.au/products/wardrobe/wardrobe-melamine-board/) for more information). The different terminology can be confusing e.g. laminate and melamine. Melamine is a type of laminate. There are a few variations of laminate however, the one used most commonly in cabinetry is low-pressure laminate which is what is commonly referred to as melamine.  ### 4) Thermolaminate Door Wardrobes Thermolaminate Doors are really Foxy on Wardrobes. They can be flat panel or shaker style so they can have as much character or as little character as you want them to have! They can have a mirror or white glass inset into the middle or they can have a real sexy hamptons style. Thermolaminate got a bad wrap in the past for peeling back (mainly because it was used in kitchens and gets wet and peels) however technology has improved significantly over the last 10 years and the Thermolaminate doors especially for wardrobes are a real hit! They look sexy and don’t break the bank!! About $800 (inc GST) per door installed.  ### 5) Polyurethane Painted Doors for Wardrobes These are the ultimate Foxy wardrobe doors. The polyurethane painting process is undercoat then two coats of 2pac polyurethane. With these wardrobe doors you can choose any colour in the Dulux range and beyond. You can choose from a massive range of routering profiles (shaker styles) that suit your home and decor. These are the most expensive of the five best sliding door styles but they look BLOODY SEXY!!! They are about $1,100 (inc GST) per door and are worth every penny! I’ve found that these five styles of wardrobe sliding doors are the best for beachie locations like on the Northern Beaches of Sydney! So there are my favourite 5 door finishes I could have mentioned many, many more. Please note pricing estimates provided here may change over time as raw materials and labour costs change.

Even our food scraps are being used for compost in the factory garden!** As at the start of 2020, we are running the business off 96% solar power and send approx 40% of our offcuts back to the manufacturer to be re-purposed and recycled into new particle board. We also recycle 100% of our soft plastics and cardboard waste diverting this away from landfill to be re-purposed and re-used. We’ve replaced all lighting with energy efficient LED lighting. With these business changes and investments we are saving the equivalent of 22,057 litres of petrol per year / 25,068 kg of coal per year / planting 1,328 trees per year and this is just the beginning! Our goal to 2030 is to find a solution to recycling MDF board or use a different substrate which can be recycled safely (we believe this is an industry wide issue because it isn’t currently able to be recycled safely) and to find a cost efficient solution to change our fleet from petrol/gas to electricity. Stay tuned for progress updates on our sustainability mission during 2020. **Categories:** Sustainability **Tags:** Home storage, Wardrobe manufacturing, wardrobes --- ### [Mood boards: everything you need to know](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/mood-boards-everything-you-need-to-know/) **Published:** November 18, 2018 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** Beginning a new wardrobe/renovation project can be so exciting, but it can also feel rather daunting and occasionally completely overwhelming. No matter whether it’s a simple room refresh or an all-out house renovation, sometimes you simply just don’t know where to begin. # Mood boards: everything you need to know Meet the mood board: your creative inspiration and new best friend.  ## **What is it?** A mood board, very simply, is an unlimited personal collage of images, text, samples, and patterns that you have gathered together as an expression of your creative thought. Commonly used in the design and marketing industry, the aim is to capture a mood and a feeling that will help shape the overall end result. Mood boards are equally useful for planning out future holiday ideas or even special events.  ## **What goes on it?** Well that is entirely up to you. It’s time to fire up those creative juices and start collecting! Gather together anything at all that inspires you – whether it’s a colour palette, material swatches, photos or even particular words. This is a visual representation of your personal thought processes, and when completed can be useful to share with invested parties such as design partners or family members. ## **Where do I begin?** Firstly you should decide whether the board will be digital (easily shared) – or physical (something tangible to have and to hold). If you prefer the physical version, you can use a foam core board or even a pin board, essentially anything suitable that you can easily attach items to. If you’re keen to keep it digital, there are plenty of free online mood board makers on offer. The virtual option makes it very easy to share your vision with others. Once you have decided on the materials, you can begin hunting and collecting for creative inspiration. Help yourself along by asking key questions: how would you describe your vision in words? What style are you after? Is it more contemporary or traditional?  ## **Why bother?** Mood boards are a great way to organise your thoughts as well as allowing you to experiment with different looks and feels. It also allows you to make mistakes and have changes of heart before it really matters. Mood boards are perfect for lending overall direction and keeping the project firmly on track. It’s something the whole family can involve themselves and participate in – as well as making external collaboration that much easier to achieve. Above all, it brings along creativity and fun, which always makes for a much better day! **Categories:** Design, Tips, Trends **Tags:** mood boards, renovation --- ### [5 ways to access everything you need, right when you need it!](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) **Published:** November 28, 2018 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** #### Spring is in the air, the beaches are filling fast, it’s time to switch out heaters for fans and dig out those thongs. Or is it? Forget Melbourne, Sydney weather is right up there when it comes to unpredictability. Just when you think you’re home and dry, everything changes and you’re back hunting out those hoodies and boots. ### 5 ways to access everything you need, right when you need it! The smart trick is to be a little bit clever when you plan out your storage, making sure you have a quick and easy way to get to everything you need, just when you need it. ##### **1. Flexibility** We live in the era of the season-less wardrobe, where many of our fashion fixes have year-round outings. But not everyone has the space for a walk-in robe so getting the best capacity out of your available storage is essential. Don’t stuff all those knits away quite yet, but rather make sure your wardrobe has the flexibility to accommodate clothes for all seasons. Adjustable shelving is great for rotating low/high boots, and overhead shelving is the perfect spot for storing summer swimmers or winter beanies. ##### **2. Labels are your friends** There will certainly be some items you want to simply store away which is absolutely fine – just make sure you remember where you put them! This is where stackable transparent containers and sticky labels come in to their own. Have a good sort before you pack away, sift out any unwanted items and clearly label what is in that box. You won’t regret it! ##### **3. Avoid the pests** For the items that will definitely not see the light of day until summer is truly burnt out, ensure they are thoroughly dry and clean when you first pack them away. Moth larvae are attracted to damp and food-stained areas, where they will happily chow down on a tasty meal – giving you a rather nasty surprise when you return. ##### **4. Summer breeze** Ventilation is key to keeping stored clothes fresh and dry. A well-planned wardrobe is the perfect storage environment as it is not only clean and dry, but also well ventilated with the doors opening and closing regularly over the day. ##### **5. Seasonal sports** It’s not just the clothes that need accommodating, there’s your surfboards, skis, bikes, scooters, and swim toys just to name a few. Fitting a ceiling rack in the garage is a great way to keep the floor space clear and tidy, as well as a neat way of keeping each item fully accessible across the year. **Categories:** Space, Tips, Wardrobes **Tags:** customisation, seasons, storage --- ### [Shop local (and save the world)](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/shop-local-and-save-the-world/) **Published:** March 5, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** # We Aussies are known around the world for our fair-go attitudes, our relaxed way of life, and for the unwavering support we give to our local communities. We are all about quality over quantity, and commercial authenticity hugely impacts our shopping habits. There’s a pretty good reason why you don’t see many Starbucks surviving on the Aussie High Street. But this doesn’t all happen by accident. Here’s why it’s so important to think globally, but act locally to keep that Aussie individuality alive and kicking. ### **Money makes money** Simply ‘buying local’ has more knock-on effects than you might first think. The money we spend locally generally goes back into other small businesses creating a circular effect which fuels the local economy. This allows the immediate community to thrive and benefit – as well as generating more neighbourhood jobs. The competition and diversity injected from lots of small businesses stimulates innovation and helps keeps prices down. ### **Go green** Who doesn’t want to help save the world? It’s a no-brainer that if we buy products more locally it helps to reduce our carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels. Being able to walk to local stores without getting in the car positively impacts the local air quality as well as traffic volumes, and by buying food locally we also help reduce the food miles involved transporting goods long distance. ### **Keeping it real** Big companies are all too often just faceless brands with big marketing budgets, answerable only to shareholders and board members. Local businesses are run by very real people with real families and real needs. These are the neighbours that you might meet on the street, these are the people who have actual visibility on your local area and the daily challenges you face as a community – and these are the people who are invested in your local area and community welfare. ### **Personal touch** The huge advantage of shopping locally is actually that personalised customer service we experience, something that only comes as a direct result of local market knowledge and understanding. Rather than stocking an inventory based simply on wider trends, locally you will find product that is geared to real community needs rather than off the shelf quick fixes. Local business owners have the knowhow and experience to deliver us bespoke solutions, as well as the personality and character to make our shopping experience one to remember and recommend. ### **Shaping the community** Rather than every High Street looking exactly the same, a sprinkling of local businesses helps to define and differentiate an area – which in turn helps shape the surrounding community. These individual businesses can contribute to improved tourism and financial wellbeing, as well as popularity and growth. #### **Solutions based** When it all goes a bit wrong, which sometimes it does, it makes so much more of a difference to have a friendly face to talk to rather than tackle an automated phone service – probably nowhere near where you actually purchased your product. This is how the true calibre of an organisation can be measured. It’s about prioritising real people over purse-strings, not just the end of year sales results. **Categories:** Tips **Tags:** customer service, Northern Beaches, shopping local, wardrobes --- ### [Spotlight On…](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/spotlight-on/) **Published:** March 5, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** # Ever wanted to find out how Foxy Fitters really spend their time? We get up close and personal with Senior Installer Dan Mckie (Big Fox) to find out exactly what goes on behind closed wardrobe doors… ### Dan, we’re keen to find out a bit more about the man that fits Fox Wardrobes. Tell me a little bit about yourself growing up. I grew up here on the Northern Beaches in Cromer and actually went to Primary School with Vic and Chris (Volpe)! We moved to Warriewood, then I left school at 16 to do my cabinet-making apprenticeship. ### How did you end up at Fox Wardrobes? I did a stint in Landscape Gardening but then decided to go back to the cabinet-making business. At that time Vic (Volpe) was installing some kitchen cabinets for me and happened to need someone – I liked the idea of a local job with people I knew, so here I am today working solely with Chris for Fox Wardrobes. ### How do you like to spend your spare time? I used to surf a lot before I broke my ankle in a motorbike accident down on the farm. Now I enjoy clay target shooting in Duffy’s Forest, or going fishing. A friend of mine has a farm down South (just west of Goulburn); I love to take the family there, just spending time outdoors in the fresh air. ### What is important to you in life? My family. No question. By that I mean my immediate family – my wife and my two beautiful girls, Ruby (4) and Georgie (2) – and of course my parents who live nearby. I see them every week, as well as my two sisters. We catch up about every fortnight. ### Who would you say are the biggest influencers in your life? Mum and Dad. ### Customers and colleagues all speak very highly of you – what do you see as your personal strengths? I don’t really see that I have any! I just get in there and get the job done. I move straight on to the next job and I don’t waste time. I aim to leave the house how I found it, as that’s the last impression the customer will have of Fox. I’m on time, I leave it clean and I do the job right from the start. ### It’s clearly a winning combination. Do you enjoy meeting new people? I would say that I’m probably quite shy! At the beginning I didn’t enjoy that side of the business, and always focused on the job. But now, as I’m meeting more and more people, I’ve come to enjoy that aspect more. ### If you could listen to one music track while you were working, what would it be? I love talkback radio more than music, though Johnny Cash would be right up there as well. I’m a 2GB and Triple M man. ### Do you have a life philosophy? Time with family, that’s my absolute priority. Swimming at the beach with my kids at the weekend is what makes it all worthwhile. ### Is there anything personally you would like to change, improve on or learn? I’m thinking Salsa lessons, yoga or spear fishing…? Definitely not Salsa! My personal goal is to get my ankle fixed up so I can run again. ### What’s your favourite movie? Ace Ventura every time. ### Let’s talk wardrobes. What’s the Fox culture like – could you describe it for us? It’s fun and fast. I would say we work fast, but we have fun along the way. We’re a good team. ### What makes the Fox team work so well in your opinion? We see each other every morning in the factory before we go out to the jobs, and we all feel like we’re part of something. It’s a great company to work for because the staff feel valued. We have weekly meetings where we all have a voice to contribute our opinions, and we all get heard. ### What would surprise people to know about working at Fox? People think we can just chuck it in – it’s only a wardrobe, right? What they don’t realise is that we need to be able to do it quickly, efficiently and accurately. Most importantly it requires correct measuring at the very start. It might look easy but it’s not. ### Just between us, could you quietly just shove it in? Yes, of course! But it wouldn’t be done right and to the level of quality that Fox delivers. ### What is the most interesting part of your job? I like the variation of going from house to house, meeting new people and meeting the brief. ### What’s your best day? When everything works well and to measurement. That’s my best day. ### How often does that happen? Today! My job was detailed to take 1.5 hours, but I got it done in 22 minutes. ### What do you personally enjoy the most about fitting wardrobes? I love it when I go in a room and there’s nothing there – except maybe an old Ikea rack – and then on the completion you see the customer satisfaction and delight. It’s awesome. Making customers happy and actually seeing the difference you can make to someone’s life is such a good feeling. ### What’s the hardest type of installation for you? Swing doors. It’s quite a time consuming process and a bit like fitting a cupboard without a back holding the position. ### Does your heart sink when you see awkward spaces? Yep! But only in such a scenario where the job is completed how the customer has asked, but I can see it doesn’t really work. Although if the client is happy, that’s all that matters! ### To your mind, what makes Fox stand out in the marketplace? I think it’s our customer service, and that we have such a great team. The next job doesn’t start until this one is resolved. Problems will always happen, but at Fox it’s how you deal with them that matters. We’re all on the same page with that. ### If you weren’t working at Fox, where would you be and what would you be doing? I’d definitely move down to a farm in the country. I love working with timber outdoors. ### If you were left stranded on a desert island for the rest of your days, and you could only take one thing with you, what would it be? My dog. ### Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Ideally living in Narrabeen out on the lake, with maybe a couple more kids if my wife gets her way. Although I do have two sisters, so maybe not…. **Categories:** Fox **Tags:** Fox Wardrobes, Installer, Northern Beaches --- ### [Wardrobes: to fit, or not to fit?](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/fitted-or-built-in-wardrobes/) **Published:** April 9, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Excerpt:** Jostling for conversational space alongside Trump, Brexit and the latest Sea Eagles score-line, the great wardrobe debate continues to rage at any half-decent dinner party.

**Content:** #### Jostling for conversational space alongside Trump, Brexit and the latest Sea Eagles score-line, the great wardrobe debate continues to rage at any half-decent dinner party. Wardrobes: To fit, or not to fit? If you’re thinking of planning a new home for your clothes and shoes any time soon and can’t decide the best way to give them the quality wardrobe surrounds they truly deserve, stay put. This is the article you have been waiting for. ### Mind the gap Not every house has the perfect shaped space for a standard wardrobe and this is where fitted units very much come in to play. Avoid left-over spacing by choosing bespoke wardrobes where any available room space can be incorporated – including those traditionally awkward spaces and L-shaped areas. This also avoids any visible gaps above and to the sides of units – a hazard of the non-fitted variety – which visually improves the entire space. The result is a pleasing and sleek finish that lifts the overall look and quality of the whole room. ### Bespoke storage By [customising your wardrobes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/wardrobe-internals/) to fit, you get to decide the where, the how and the what – as well as making good use of difficult spaces. Planning out the available area intelligently means that frustrations around the external and internal designs – that are often the case with freestanding models – can be completely avoided. Bespoke furniture is ideal for balancing out any personal usage requirements such as his and her hanging and shelving ratios, and it allows consideration for extra customisation that may be needed for particular equipment. Standard wardrobes will not take in to account such needs and are simply based on an average. Who wants to be average? Bespoke designs will transform your [bedroom storage](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) into a harmonious and enjoyable affair – which will in turn enhance your family relationships. It’s a total win-win! ### Future-proof your wardrobes Freestanding wardrobes can be switched out as and when you please, a handy feature if versatility is a requirement. For fitted units, the purchase is more permanent so it is essential to select a design that will still suit your taste further down the years. Choosing a classic look will ensure your units will not date or feel out of place in years to come. If this feels like too tough a challenge, non-fitted options are the easier choice although ultimately you may end up spending more money. ### Invest in the future The largest benefits of standard wardrobes are their portability. You can take them with you and it feels like money well spent. But before you make up your mind, consider this: Quality fitted wardrobes will improve the value of your property as they are very much viewed as in-built storage, a much-coveted asset. By fitting your wardrobes you are investing in your home both aesthetically and emotionally, and this value will ultimately be recouped at sale. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips **Tags:** Custom storage, storage, wardrobes --- ### [How to? Bedrooms and kitchens](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/planning-your-new-bedroom-and-kitchen-design/) **Published:** April 12, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** What is it about the opportunity to start from a completely blank sheet that makes your mind just freeze? There’s nothing more intimidating than having the opportunity to map out your dream kitchen or bedroom – and simply not knowing where to begin. Whilst we might not have the immediate [design solution](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/mood-boards-everything-you-need-to-know/) at our fingertips, what we do know is that kitchens and bedrooms are amongst the key factors that can make or break a house on the property market, so it’s really important to get these areas just right. If you ever get the chance to influence the layout and design – be sure to grab it with both hands! Not sure where to start? **Here’s how**. ### Bedrooms #### Keep it simple The best bedrooms are deceptively simple; they not only look good but they also function effectively in terms of space and storage. When planning out your design, the first job is to locate a space for the bed – purely because it is probably the biggest item that will be in the room and will likely dictate the placement of other furniture like [wardrobes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/fitted-or-built-in-wardrobes/). Think about any other pieces that need to be housed and ensure everything can be accommodated. Keep the room balanced to create an illusion of space, and be sure to take advantage of any natural aspects in your [design considerations](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-best-wardrobe-finishes/) #### Wardrobes and storage Having placed the bed it should be simpler to decide the wardrobe location and [format](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/hinged-door-robes-vs-sliding-door-robes/). Understand what you need to house by assembling your belongings together and ascertaining the best use of any [storage space](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) available. This will also help dictate the size of wardrobe required and the appropriate internal formatting to best accommodate your needs – whether that be hanging space, shelving or drawers. Use adjustable shelving to keep the wardrobe space flexible, and consider some lower hanging space to avoid bending over for storage. The wardrobe can also make handy use of otherwise redundant areas such as awkward spaces or uneven walls. #### User friendly It’s really important that the bedroom works for the person that is actually using it. This will affect the height of any shelving, hanging rails and drawers, as well as impacting the types of storage solutions you choose. Ask yourself what the most practical use of the space is by considering how the room is used, what you are storing and frequency of use. #### Winning formula It’s no coincidence that all hotel bedrooms look the same – there is a bedroom formula that works so well it is endlessly repeated. Take a step back to contemplate how your own space is working together; this will help inform decisions when considering swing or sliding wardrobe doors – as well as remembering to create room for hinge space and power points. #### And finally… Think about all the niggles of annoyance you have had with past wardrobes, the lack of suitable storage and all the changes you wished you could have made, if only… ### Kitchens #### **Location location location…** The beauty of a new home today means that your kitchen is already likely to be located in just the right spot – close to dining areas with good access to outside spaces and natural light. From this point the key considerations become more functional. Start with practicalities such as placing your key appliances and then move on to the personal touches such as [materials, finishes and colour palettes](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-top-design-predictions-for-2019/). Use handles, textures and patterns to add personality and interest and really make it your own – but remember: function first, design later. ### The magic triangle Ask yourself, how do you operate best in a kitchen? It doesn’t have to be complicated. Essentially you need proximity to a fridge, the sink and the stove – it’s that magic triangle where the spacing plays an incredibly important role. Too small an area and it’s a one-man show, too large and you will be exhausted by the time the food hits the plates. The sink is one area that really sees a lot of action so ensure it is in a convenient and pleasant place, or perhaps consider moving the plumbing appropriately. Once your triangle is sorted, place the workbench, plan the storage and you’re done. ### Room to move The kitchen is where the party is. Modern open plan living means that meal preparation has become a social affair, a family space where the conversation never stops, and that is probably host to several other simultaneous activities. Plan in plenty of counter space as well as a decent breakfast bar so that you can chop and prep comfortably while others mingle around you without compromising your culinary delights. ### Storage space Storage is crucial to the success of a kitchen and should be a huge consideration in the [planning process](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/mood-boards-everything-you-need-to-know/). Contemporary homes lean towards indoor-outdoor living that can mean a plethora of dining equipment and utensils are required to suit both. Assign each of your cupboards a specific function so that you can be assured everything has a place. Choose drawers over doors for ease of use and less bending down, and consider a pullout pantry to avoid nasty surprises lurking at the back of the cupboard. ### Light bulb moment Kitchen ambience can really benefit from a flexible lighting system, something that enables 3 separate tasks. Firstly, enough overall light is needed for everyone to see what they are doing. Secondly, plan some task-oriented lights that allow for specific area lighting such as bench top or stove. Lastly, invest in some accent lighting to really change up the feel of the room when required. ### The Green Room As sustainability gathers pace, your kitchen will need to be able to accommodate not only the general waste, but also all the recycling. Be sure to include this area from the early stages to avoid tripping over freestanding bins. Here at Fox Wardrobes, we work with home industry experts [GJ Gardner](https://www.gjgardner.com.au/sydney/brookvale-home-builders) to create the ideal setting for everything you value. **Categories:** Design, Tips --- ### [5 ways to get the wardrobe you want](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/5-ways-to-get-the-wardrobe-you-want/) **Published:** May 7, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** After the bed the wardrobe is the next most important item to consider in the bedroom space. Unfortunately it can be an utterly confusing task trying to work out exactly what it is you need. Back on the plus side, there are a prolific amount of wardrobe options available – from wall to ceiling built-in robes, to trendy open storage hanging rails. But for many of us time-poor wardrobe-hunters it can be a daunting task that just keeps ending up back in the ‘too-hard’ basket. Well that basket is about to be completely emptied. Want to discover the right wardrobe for your bedroom? These 5 top tips will explain just how to get the wardrobe you want. ## 1. Identify your wardrobe needs Have you sat down and really thought about the job you are asking your wardrobe to do within the space you have? Get the measuring tape out and have a thorough investigation of the area. You may find that this dictates the size of the unit, the [doors](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/sliding-door-wardrobes/) that you choose as well as the style and [internal formatting](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/sliding-door-wardrobes/). Think about who will be using the space and how it will work best in that situation. Try and envisage this as an opportunity to upscale your storage and a way of closing the door on any unsightly clutter or challenging space. ## 2. Plan your storage Write down a list of everything that requires a home – from clothes that require hanging to items that need folding. Ascertain the [amount of drawers](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/wardrobe-internals/) you may like for items such as bulky jumpers, versus hanging space for your more formal items. Will you have room to accommodate extras such as jewellery, belts or even make-up? With bespoke units you can also make sure to keep [space](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-ways-to-access-everything-you-need-right-when-you-need-it/) for those items that always make the room seem messy such as half-clean clothes that aren’t quite ready for the wash, or different shoe options hanging around the floor space. Wardrobes provide the perfect opportunity to shut it all away and get your magazine-worthy bedroom returned to you in a heartbeat. No matter what goes on behind closed doors! ## 3. Fitted or freestanding wardrobes? Well this is simply a whole other conversation… and [the great debate](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/creating-space-more-than-just-storage/fitted-or-built-in-wardrobes/) rages. Very simply, if you are invested in your property or have unusual spaces to work with, fitted wardrobes are the ideal solution. They are more permanent however, so if you find that you prefer to switch up the look and feel more frequently, freestanding units would be the safer purchase. For resale considerations, properties that have quality fitted storage solutions form an attractive proposition to potential buyers. Freestanding units have versatility on their side but you are limited with form and dimensions. ## 4. It’s all about the doors The [wardrobe doors](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/hinged-door-robes-vs-sliding-door-robes/) undoubtedly set the overall tone of the bedroom, so it’s important to get this one right from the start. If you are limited for space, sliding doors provide the ideal solution with minimal impact on the area. They give a sleek finished look with a range of finishes available. You can also double up on usage by incorporating a mirror. Think clever with your storage solutions by also utilising under the bed space, window seating as well as converting little nooks into seating areas or functional spaces. If you prefer hinged doors, make sure you have enough space for the doors to fully open and close without injury or furniture readjustment. Wardrobe doors are regularly hanging open so it’s important they be able to do this without hinderance. ## 5. What’s your wardrobe style? Your wardrobe choice should reflect the overall style of the bedroom whether that be modern contemporary, classic, shabby chic or somewhere in between. Decide which materials and colours will work best in accenting the existing look – unless you are considering a whole room overhaul. Mirrored wardrobes are a great option for creating a feeling of space as well as delivering a [contemporary look](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/wardrobes-sydney-tips/5-top-design-predictions-for-2019/). Wooden doors can be painted to suit the theme, or even use a [painted decal](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/products/printed-decal/) to really create a feature space. Handles are the perfect way to add a touch of personality and individuality to the design with minimal effort involved and the added benefit of opportunity to change. Use the wardrobes to really make the space your own. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips, Wardrobes **Tags:** Creating Space --- ### [Cleanse your wardrobe space the Marie Kondo way](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/cleanse-your-wardrobe-space-the-marie-kondo-way/) **Published:** June 4, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** If you haven’t been sparking serious amounts of joy in your home recently, there’s some urgent Netflix homework that needs doing. Ever since Japanese minimalist Marie Kondo swooped in to our lives Mary Poppins-style, the latest storage obsession has been to cleanse, rejuvenate and restore using a series of helpful measures designed to – you guessed it – spark joy. Here’s how. At a time when the world is a complicated place and we are all looking for ways to improve our environment, it somehow feels fitting and right to evaluate the deep-sea recesses of the wardrobe. To understand if there really is a more mindful way to clothing storage – and how exactly we can achieve it. If you’re keen to have less stuff, live more simply and spend time more meaningfully, this article is for you. ### 1. Commit to the task It’s all very well thinking about doing the deed, but actually committing to the job and actioning your thoughts can be a different story. Dig right in to your wardrobe, leave no space untouched and tip everything out on to your bed. This is your true act of commitment – mainly because there is no going to bed until this task is complete. There can be no cleansing without firstly creating a big mess – it’s part of the process that you must experience to fully appreciate the eventual outcomes. ### 2. Imagine your new lifestyle How do you want your new life to look? Are you content with wardrobe chaos or do you crave order and design? Do you enjoy battling your clothes each day searching for the right outfit, or would you prefer to quickly select at a glance by form, colour and style? It’s crucial that you keep your eyes on the endgame before you begin, and that you fully understand where this path will lead to so that you can fulfil against your goals along the way. ### 3. Sort by category Marie Kondo splits out the procedure into categories and strongly advises sticking to the prescribed order. The idea behind this is to begin with the easiest category and end with the most difficult (when presumably you have finely honed your culling skills and are at your most discerning). The recommended order is listed as clothing, books, paper, miscellaneous items and finally, sentimental belongings. If you are that person who has an emotional attachment to clothing items and will find wardrobe cleansing a challenge, it is recommended that you begin with a different task as there will be some difficult decisions ahead. ### 4. Does it spark joy? With each wardrobe item you select from the pile, ask yourself whether they truly spark joy in your life. Does it evoke an emotional or physical response? Can you feel your heart flutter a little when you slip on that shirt or snugly cosy down into your favourite trraccydacs? Does that vintage handbag remind you of a special occasion from times past? There is no right or wrong answer here, it will be entirely personal to you. If, however, you are left feeling cold and unmoved, simply thank your item for the service you have received over the years and discard. If you feel odd thanking an inanimate object, there is some logic. Demonstrating gratitude reframes our attitude towards future purchasing by emphasising the true value of everyday things. ### 5. Learn to fold like a pro So now you have thoroughly cleansed your belongings, it’s time to reassemble the area with care and precision. Marie Kondo recommends folding clothes using a particular method that allows each item to stand up alone enabling ease of visibility and access. How you choose to store your items is personal to you, whether it is by colour, season or usage. The space you have created both in your wardrobe and in your mind will release pressure, allow creativity to flow and shape a new appreciation for material goods going into the future. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips, Trends, Wardrobes --- ### [How to hygge your bedroom in 5 easy steps](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/how-to-hygge-your-bedroom-in-5-easy-steps/) **Published:** July 16, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** Life can be pretty hectic. Whether it’s jobs, schools, children or sport we spend a lot of time rushing around between one task and the next. Because of the way we live, it’s really important that our homes provide a place of calm, comfort and serenity. Home is the one place we can happily snuggle up feeling cosy and secure, where we know we can be just ourselves surrounded by those closest to us. Finding the time to make your nesting space feel magazine-worthy is another matter entirely – and it can often become another source of stress just thinking about how to find the time to buy and organise everything you need to help you de-stress. Even reading that is stressful! If you are that person, you need some hygge in your life. It just doesn’t get any simpler. **Hygge – what is it, and how do you even say it?** Hygge (pronounced ‘hugh-gah’) originally came about from when the Danes were trying to get through the long, cold, hard Danish winters. Enjoying a shared moment of simplicity was crucial to keeping spirits raised and there was an emphasis on appreciating that moment when it happened. The word encapsulates a feeling of cosiness or something pre-loved and gently worn in. It’s about capturing and remembering a moment in time – whether that is good company, a coffee ritual or even a frosty winter walk. You cannot pop to the shops and buy some hygge because it is not about commercial goods. At its very essence it is a feeling. It is now so ingrained into the Danish lifestyle and psyche that it is no wonder that Forbes has ranked Denmark the second happiest country to live in the world. If you want to bring a bit of cosy back to your bedroom and enjoy the simple things in life, here’s how. 1. **Candles** These are your new best friends. In fact, Danes would claim that candles are the most effective way to generate that hygge feeling as they avoid the harsh overhead lighting. The natural flames encourage light play and shadows that in turn create an evocative and memorable ambience. It’s time to dig down into those kitchen drawers and finally give a role to those candles you have been slowly stockpiling. Place them around the room and have an evening lighting ritual to create a sense of calm before bed. For children’s bedrooms you can achieve the same candlelit effect by using string lighting and low lamp options. 2. **Keep it natural** Hygge is all about energising the natural essence of our being. It channels our inner thoughts and feelings, drawing us towards nature and the outdoors. If your bedroom has a variety of natural sources within it, you’re already on the right track. Embrace all the natural elements such as wooden floors and wardrobes, shelving, plants, natural light sources and shells – anything that draws the outside in. This all helps us feel closer and more connected to nature which is a critical component of the hygge concept. 3. **Make a nook** Find your inner peace and calm by creating a snug little corner in your bedroom. This can be as simple as combining a beanbag and a comfy throw together, with a small side lamp for reading. Hygge is not about a busy environment or overly fussy spaces – it can be easily created out of what you already own. A cosy nook is especially useful in children’s bedrooms as it’s the perfect place to curl up together and share in a book, or just a simple moment. This is what beautiful memories are made of, and what generations will carry forward. 4. **Texture variety** Having a variety of textures in your bedroom is really important when creating your hygge-inspired space. Mixing up the feel of the room by using knitted materials, or natural fibres give a comforting and intimate feel which helps enhance feelings of inner peace and calm. Hygge is about creating your moment so allow yourself to use furnishings and pieces in your bedroom that are special to you rather than simply following current trends. Expressing your inner self within your own room is a freeing experience. 5. **Read all about it** Bringing books into your bedroom is the perfect ingredient to help add hygge to your space. Books represent a sharing of ideas, a connection of minds and hopefully many memories of loved tales. Reading is also all about taking a break from the norm, escaping reality, switching it down a level and taking time to recharge. So fill your room with your favourite works and enjoy the hygge-full of contentment that follows. **Categories:** Design, Space, Tips, Trends, Wardrobes **Tags:** bedroom, Custom storage, Fox Wardrobes, wardrobes --- ### [Looking for new wardrobe doors? How to buy once – and buy right.](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/looking-for-new-wardrobe-doors-how-to-buy-once-and-buy-right/) **Published:** August 22, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** # Are you tired of your wardrobe doors? Or maybe they have finally reached the end of the line and are headed for that big storage unit in the sky. It’s important not to underestimate the central role that wardrobes play in a room setting, most likely the largest piece of vertical furniture on view in the room they immediately set the style and tone agenda. Whatever your reasons, purchasing new wardrobe doors is a huge decision that’s not to be taken likely. Find out how to get the best wardrobe doors that will last the course – and achieve the style and quality your home deserves. **Do I actually need wardrobe doors?** Apart from simply looking great, wardrobe doors are there for very good functional reasons. They protect our clothing and belongings from the sun’s super-strong UV rays, as well as keeping our things dry, fresh and dust-free. In addition to all of this, wardrobe doors can hide a multitude of sins that lie on the shelves behind. What goes on behind closed doors? Well that’s on a need-to-know basis only. When buying your new doors, make sure you’re getting that magic trio: style, quality and finish. It’s definitely worth investing upfront in a high quality product that will last you for many years to come rather than having to replace and repair much sooner than you anticipated. **What do they need to do?** It’s no secret that wardrobe doors actually have an important job to do – and it’s critical that they do it well. A tight closing fit is imperative to making sure that no sneaky light gets let in (which could potentially damage the contents over time). As well as shutting effectively, the doors need to have plenty of negotiating space to allow them to open up just as effectively – primarily to give you the regular access space you will inevitably need. Your wardrobe doors also need to complement (or set) the overall style of the room in terms of design as well as have the appropriate practicality and functionality. Think about the interior design tone you would like to achieve, as wardrobe doors can make or break a room. **What are my options?** Depending on your available space, you can choose from a variety of wardrobe doors to suit. It’s an opportunity to have some fun and get creative as well as being practically minded. Firstly, the room measurements will have a fair say in the choice of installation. Sliding doors are great for use in those more compact areas, hinged doors will suit if the room space allows and mirrored doors are perfect for reflecting light and adding depth – as well as handily doubling up as a full length mirror. Secondly, you can release your inner stylist and choose a door finish that will complement or accent your room feel. Wardrobe doors are available in sleek contemporary styles, mirrored or decaled, and can even be coloured to suit. **What should I avoid?** Poor quality product is the main offender in this category, and what might look easy on the eye may well fall apart before the year is done. Wardrobes undergo a fair amount of usage, especially for families with young children. They have to sufficiently be able to withstand regular wear and tear and still fulfil against their role. Wardrobe doors can be made from a variety of materials, so make sure you ask the supplier which exact materials are being used before you commit to a purchase. Fox Wardrobes only sources from established and reliable providers that guarantee their product. Only then are we comfortable sharing this work with our customers. In addition to the Australian made MDF provided by Polytec, Fox Wardrobe doors are all fitted with straighteners that prevent any bowing further down the track. As we continually work with the same supply partners, we know exactly where our materials are coming from, as well as understanding exactly what quality we are working with. **What does The Fox say?** We understand the emotional energy that goes into choosing wardrobe doors. We understand that you want the best value for money. And we fully understand the work we have to do to deliver against that because we share your passion. Fox Wardrobes is committed to supplying quality products at affordable prices. Where possible we always support local Australian businesses – and where not we source the very best from Europe.

That’s the Fox Wardrobes way, and our promise to you is that you won’t leave disappointed. **Categories:** Design, Tips, Trends, Wardrobes **Tags:** customer service, Fox Wardrobes, solutions --- ### [5 quick and easy storage tips to simplify your space](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/5-quick-and-easy-storage-tips-to-simplify-your-space/) **Published:** September 20, 2019 **Author:** Fox Wardrobes **Content:** ## 5 quick and easy storage tips to simplify your space Do you ever wish that your storage solutions were just a little bit more user-friendly, with a little bit more space? If you are that person who utilises any available nook and cranny to hide away clutter and stuff random items, you’re certainly not alone. But if you’re also that person who feels anxious and stressed each time you try to wrestle open a stuffed drawer, desperately searching for a forgotten item or that missing sock – but you’re actually crying on the inside for an easier way – this is for you. The trouble many of us face is that we simply have too much stuff. But with growing families and changing needs there is always a case to hang on to something, just in case… If you’re at that point, but you desperately crave some order to the chaos, here’s 5 easy ways to immediately relieve the stress in your household. These tips will add pure simplicity to your storage needs and – critically – hand you back some valuable time so you get to enjoy the really important things in life. 1. **Divide and rule** If you want to control a crowd of unruly clothing items, you have to get right to the heart of it and split them out into factions. Socks cavorting with undies, and scarfs wrapping around PJs is leading to material mayhem; the only way to get through this is to divide and conquer. Hooray for drawer dividers, your newest best friend. Inexpensive and perfectly sized, these little gems allow you to section off your items as you choose, making it oh-so-easy to jump from lingerie to legwarmers, or T-shirts to ties. You can also use more hardwearing chrome dividers to do the same with larger items such as jumpers and hoodies. No more mingling without consent. 2. **Control the footwear** Gone are the days where we only had one pair of shoes per season. There’s the beach to consider, BBQ attire, wet weather and even the school run might require an easy slip-on-and-dash pair. But when it comes to storing these awkward items, often they are left to the floor areas – and too often, literally where they were just taken off, wherever that may be. The perfect place to tuck shoes away is that little used area on the back of the door. Invest in an over-door hanging shoe rack for each bedroom with canvas or plastic pockets. You can even hang these on the inside of wardrobe doors if the space allows. This is a perfectly simple storage solution for keeping each pair together, tucked away and exactly where you left them. 3. **Contain the mess** Containers are great for storing unruly items such as belts and scarves. They can be easily stacked and stored away, either in the wardrobe or under the bed. The clear containers also have the benefit of allowing you to see at a glance exactly what category lies inside. But if you’re feeling creative and hate the idea of more plastic, why not make your own by cutting cardboard boxes down to size and jazzing them up with your own choice of paper. Stick on an easy-read label and you’re done. With this level of simple organisation, everything has a place and a home to return to. Items may spend many hours lounging around on your floor, but when the whistle blows at clean-up time, there is no room for confusion as to the home address. 4. **Customise your space** Don’t feel like you have to stick with the storage you are given, you can adjust it to make it work for your needs. Think about ripping out wardrobe interiors for a complete revamp. Remove the existing structure and replace with a combination of drawers, shoe racks, rods and baskets –whatever best suits your needs. Less is definitely more. Discard or donate anything you don’t need or no longer wear, Marie Kondo-stylie, and force yourself to adhere to one rule: if you’re not using it, you don’t need it. Simple! 5. **Get creative!** Get clever with your storage choices. Sure, you need a night table, but why not use the surfaces beneath as a bookshelf? Or maybe add in some baskets for smaller items? That ottoman at the end of the bed could be a haven for dirty laundry or seasonal shoes. Under bed drawers or storage boxes are super handy for bed linen, spare doonas, sports equipment or even filed paperwork. It doesn’t matter which category you choose, as long as you know what is in there. That way you will reduce stress, save time and minimise your wasted efforts every single day. **Simple storage bliss** Once you have been through this process, you’ll be amazed at how much time you can save every day, simply by just knowing where your belongings are. Get the kids involved in the fun and those clean-up sessions will be over in a blink. Simplifying your storage will also help you to think more around new purchases – and consider whether actually it is that desperate need you once thought, or whether you can live very happily without it. **Categories:** Space, Tips, Trends, Wardrobes **Tags:** Custom storage, easy storage tips, Fox Wardrobes, storage --- ## Pages ### [Home](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/) **Published:** October 11, 2021 **Author:** Sunny **Content:** ###### Welcome # Fox Wardrobes Sydney ## Looking For Storage Solutions Around Your Home?

It depends on the size, layout, finishes and how customised you want the space to be. A simple robe can be quite affordable, while a fully customised walk-in with premium finishes and lighting can become a serious feature in the home. In Australia, most professionally installed built-in wardrobes generally fall somewhere between $2,000 and $10,000+, depending on the scope of the project. Here’s a rough guide to what you can expect. [02 9971 8802]()[CONTACT US ONLINE](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/contact/)   ## Wardrobe Pricing at a Glance From simple and functional to fully custom – here's what each level typically includes.  ### Affordable Built-In Wardrobes --- ***Approx. $2,500 – $5,000*** --- This is usually a more straightforward setup using standard materials and layouts. Typically includes: 1. Basic melamine internals 2. Standard shelving and hanging rails 3. Sliding doors 4. Simple white finishes These wardrobes are great for rooms with not a lot of room around the bed, spare rooms, kids’ rooms, investment properties or anyone wanting a clean and functional storage solution without all the extras.  ### Mid-Range Custom Wardrobes --- ***Approx. $5,000 – $10,000*** --- This is where most custom wardrobes sit — and where you start to see a huge jump in both functionality and overall look. Often includes: 1. Custom internal layouts 2. Soft-close drawers (Fox only use soft close) 3. Better quality board finishes 4. Mirror, shaker or polyurethane doors 5. Extra shelving and storage zones 6. Better use of awkward spaces 7. Full carcass construction for longevity and durability At Fox, this is generally the sweet spot for homeowners wanting something that looks beautiful while still being practical for everyday life.  ### Premium Walk-In Wardrobes --- ***Approx. $10,000 – $15,000+*** --- Premium wardrobes are highly customised spaces designed to feel more like luxury cabinetry than simply storage. These can include: 1. Full walk-in robe fit outs 2. Custom lighting 3. Glass display sections 4. Jewellery drawers and accessories 5. Polyurethane or timber-look finishes 6. Integrated makeup stations or seating 7. Floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry 8. Full carcass construction for longevity and durability The final cost depends heavily on size, finishes and complexity — especially in larger homes or architecturally designed spaces.  ## What Impacts the Cost of a Wardrobe? A custom wardrobe isn't a one-size-fits-all product – and neither is the price, so here's what to know before you start planning.  ### 1. Size of the Wardrobe This is the biggest factor. A small 2-metre robe costs significantly less than a full walk-in room with multiple cabinetry walls.  ### 2. Door Style Different door styles can dramatically affect pricing. Generally: 1. Sliding doors are usually more affordable and great for rooms without much space to open doors 2. Hinged doors often cost more but provide better access 3. Shaker, routed or polyurethane doors increase cost  ### 3. Internal Fit-Out A wardrobe with only shelves and hanging space will naturally cost less than one packed with: 1. drawers 2. shoe storage 3. pull-out accessories 4. jewellery inserts 5. trouser racks 6. lighting 7. custom sections The more customised the internals, the more labour and cabinetry involved.  ### 4. Materials & Hardware Not all wardrobes are built the same. At Fox, we use quality materials like: 1. Polytec HMR (high moisture resistant) board (always used by Fox as our standard board) 2. BLUM soft-close hardware – Fox uses additional hinges for better long-term support and durability. Where some companies may use only 2 hinges on a standard door, Fox uses 3, and on taller doors Fox typically uses 5 hinges instead of 3 to help prevent sagging over time. 3. Australian made products wherever possible, for glass and aluminium. Better materials and hardware may cost more upfront, but they make a huge difference to durability, finish quality and how the wardrobe performs long term.  ## Why Sydney families choose Fox Wardrobes Flat-pack wardrobes can be a more affordable option upfront, particularly for basic storage solutions not requiring custom sizing. However, it’s important to consider what is included in the price. Once installation costs are added – especially if you are unable to install the wardrobe yourself – the overall cost can become much closer to that of a professionally designed and custom-fitted wardrobe. **Custom cabinetry offers:** ### 1 --- **Better space utilisation** ### 2 --- **Higher quality finishes** ### 3 --- **Stronger materials** ### 4 --- **Professional installation** ### 5 --- **Tailored storage solutions** ### 6 --- **Improved resale appeal** For many homeowners, the long-term value and functionality make custom wardrobes well worth the investment.  ## Thinking About a Built-In or Walk in Wardrobe? At Fox Wardrobes, every wardrobe is custom made to suit the home, the space and the person using it. Whether it’s a simple built-in or a full luxury walk-in robe, our team works closely with clients to create storage that looks incredible and actually works for everyday living.

Our collective values include: #### 1. Australian Made 95% of all materials Fox Wardrobes use for any project are sourced from Australian suppliers, while 100% of our manufacturing processes are carried out in Australia. #### 2. Solar Power 96% of our power is sourced from our solar panels to create solar energy. Our light globes are all LED light globes which are the most energy-efficient light globes on the market. #### 3. Recycling During the cutting carving of our timber and materials, 40% of our off-cuts are recycled into new particle boards for repurposing. Fox Wardrobes also recycles 100% of our soft plastic and cardboard waste. Fox Wardrobes are also currently trying to find a solution to recycling our medium density fibre (MDF) boards. There is a universal issue in the cabinetry industry, and even the broader carpentry industry, about how to recycle these boards. The solution is either to find a safe alternative product to replace these or to find an internal way we can reuse them. We are similarly trying to replace some of our petroleum-powdered manufacturing processes with electricity – which will run off our solar power grid. ### Award-winning local business Nothing proves ability and skill more than personal customer reviews! Be sure to check out our reviews online to find out why our wonderful customers choose Fox Wardrobes for the best built-in wardrobes in Sydney.

Whether it’s a modern renovation or a classic home upgrade, well-designed cabinetry plays a key role in both functionality and overall aesthetic. At Fox Wardrobes, we design and manufacture custom wardrobes and cabinetry tailored specifically for Mosman homes. From full-height built-in wardrobes to custom living room cabinetry, every project is designed to feel seamless, considered, and built to a high standard. We’ve recently completed a number of projects in Mosman, including a full wall built-in wardrobe designed to maximise storage while maintaining a clean, minimal look. Featuring full-height doors and a streamlined finish, the wardrobe blends effortlessly into the room while providing generous internal space for everyday use. In another Mosman home, we designed and installed a custom living room unit combining shaker-style cabinetry with a warm timber benchtop. This piece was created to add both storage and character to the space, with open shelving for styling and closed cabinetry below to keep things clutter-free. The result is a functional yet elevated feature that complements the home’s overall design. Projects in Mosman often come with unique considerations, including access limitations, tight streets, and the need to match existing architectural details. Our experienced team understands how to navigate these challenges, ensuring a smooth process from design through to installation while maintaining a premium finish. As a Northern Beaches family business, Fox Wardrobes takes pride in delivering high-quality, Australian-made cabinetry using trusted materials and hardware.

With a mix of apartments, renovated units, and modern homes, smart storage is essential to keep spaces feeling open and uncluttered. At Fox Wardrobes, we design and manufacture custom wardrobes and cabinetry tailored to suit Bondi homes. Whether it’s a compact apartment or a full home renovation, our solutions are designed to maximise storage while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic. We’ve worked on a range of projects similar to those found in Bondi, where space needs to work harder. Many of our designs include full-height built-in wardrobes with a mix of hanging space, internal shelving, and soft-close drawers — all carefully planned to create practical storage without overwhelming the room. In homes where multi-use spaces are key, we also design integrated solutions such as wardrobes combined with desks or additional shelving. This allows for flexible living while keeping everything streamlined and functional. Working in Bondi often involves tight access, apartment living, and strata requirements. Our team is experienced in managing these details, ensuring a smooth process from design through to installation. If you’re in Bondi and looking to upgrade your storage, Fox Wardrobes is here to help. Give one of our foxes a call to get started.

[DISCOVER MORE INSPIRATION IN OUR PORTFOLIO](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/portfolio-inspiration/ "Portfolio / Inspiration") ## HOW ARE OUR WALK-IN ROBE STORAGE SPACES MADE? Our more cost effective walk-in wardrobes have a durable aluminium front that protects the shelf and minimises any potential shelf sagging – so you can place considerable weight on them with total confidence. The unique design of our walk-in robe cabinetry combines aluminium frames and nylon wall brackets to lock the shelves firmly in place. We also build right into the floor, transferring any weight to safeguard your shelves and their contents. However, our more luxury walk-in robe designs are full solid construction built on a kick frame and levelled to the floor and walls. This type of construction is a more premium finish in the wardrobe industry and is only possible due to our highly skilled team of fully qualified cabinet makers designing and manufacturing our wardrobes and cabinetry. Our luxury walk-in robes can be designed to suit any space and style you desire. Our Polytec coloured laminate boards provide a stylish and hard-wearing finish to any wardrobe. If you’d like more information, please contact our team today. #### Sustainability At Fox Wardrobes, our walk-in wardrobe specialists aim to use water-based solutions in our manufacturing processes instead of chemicals wherever possible. Our timber and materials are almost exclusively sourced from Australian suppliers. Approximately 40% of our off-cuts get recycled! Our recycled timber gets appropriated into new particle boards, while our soft plastics and cardboard is fully recycled. 96% of our power is sourced from our solar panels to create solar energy. Our light globes are LED light globes – the most energy-efficient light globe on the market.

With brilliant attention to detail, a focus on quality and customer service, and a passion for the environment, Vic’s business grew quickly. Operations soon moved to a factory, and before they knew it, they’d outgrown a single factory and taken over three more. Local friends were brought into the business to cope with the rapid growth – friends who are still with the company today! **2014** Four years later, Vic asked his brother Chris to step into the business, too, to assist with systems and business processes. Chris’ background in business management and the combination of the two brothers’ skills reduced Vic’s overwhelming amount of work, without sacrificing product quality or exceptional customer service. This amalgamation was the catalyst to launch the Fox Wardrobes brand, delivering to a specific niche in the market: wardrobes and storage solutions. Pairing their individual cabinetry skill-sets with business systems and management, the Volpe brothers formed a powerful customer service base at the very heart of the business. The brothers soon realised that bringing the two businesses together as one would provide much needed focus during the crazy years of COVID, reducing business risk, and aligning their team of approximately 40 at the time to one focus and one business system. **2020** Volpe Cabinet Making and Fox Wardrobes joined forces in 2020 to become Fox Wardrobes and Cabinetry. The consolidation meant reducing the Volpe Cabinetmaking product line by discontinuing kitchen and vanity design and production and increasing the Fox Wardrobes product lines to include TV Units, Office fitouts, under-stair storage, entry storage and other storage solutions. Over the last few years, the Fox Wardrobes brand has continued to grow, with a strong focus on people, training, workplace culture, and sustainability (including solar installation, LED lighting, and a comprehensive recycling and waste management program). **Today** Today, the Fox brand thrives thanks to a highly-skilled group of individuals who have fun delivering superior cabinetry solutions to clients. The Volpe brothers are enjoying their new team environment and are excited about the future of the business and its evolution. One Team, One Vision, One Focus. ## Fox Wardrobes and cabinetry aims for sustainable storage solutions Our vision is to create a manufacturing business that is as sustainable as possible, in terms of minimising greenhouse gases, minimising waste going to landfills, choosing sustainable cabinet materials, and recycling waste or materials wherever possible. Even our food scraps after lunch are being used as compost in our factory garden! Here’s how we’re doing it: - As of 2020, we are currently running the business from 96% solar power and hope to increase this to 100% - We send approximately 40% of our offcuts from our sustainable cabinet materials back to our trusted manufacturers to be repurposed and recycled into particleboards - We recycle 100% of our soft plastic and cardboard waste to be repurposed and reused, diverting these materials from landfill - We’ve replaced all our company lighting with energy-efficient LED globes Our goal for 2030 and beyond is to find a solution to recycling MDF boards or otherwise use a different substrate that can be recycled safely. This is an industry-wide issue that sadly gets overlooked by a lot of manufacturing businesses. On top of this, Fox Wardrobes also wants to find a cost-efficient substitute for our petrol/gas used to power our vehicle fleet. We show up to work every day to achieve these missions. Stay tuned for progress updates on our sustainability mission!   ## Meet the Fox Wardrobes & Cabinetry team At Fox, we believe that our success is entirely due to our talented team.

Our goal to 2030 is to find a solution to recycling MDF board or use a different substrate which can be recycled safely (we believe this is an industry wide issue because it isn’t currently able to be recycled safely) and to find a cost efficient solution to change our fleet from petrol/gas to electricity.

You can also see our tips on the [News](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/news/ "News") page which provides answers to a lot of questions asked by our clients to our designers. Should you have other queries you wish answered please feel free to contact us. [02 9971 8802]()[CONTACT US ONLINE](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/contact/)  [Do your products come with a warranty?](#1634084391-1-73) All storage solutions installed by Fox Wardrobes are warranted for 10 years. [Are your products Australian made?](#1634084391-2-45) We manufacture all our wardrobes in Warriewood on the Northern Beaches of Sydney – you can have a tour of our factory at 6/7 Jubilee Ave, Warriewood. Our hardware and raw materials come from Polytec, Hafele, Blum, Ullrich and Viridian Glass. All reputable Australian and European suppliers. We are focused on building our wardrobes tough. [Are your installers inhouse or contractors?](#1634084602156-2-5) At Fox we only use inhouse installers (employees of the company) with significant experience installing. We also provide each installer with a support Fox who is learning the trade. We spare no expense in ensuring that you get the best possible experience from end to end and the best possible product because we know that your home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make and our team will treat it with pride. By having two Foxes onsite we ensure that our installers have the energy and manpower to do the job properly. They don’t rush and they take pride in the detail including cleanliness. We believe that our success is due to our people. Every person that works at Fox is an employee. We are not in business for fast quick growth we are here for the long haul. There is a great African proverb which we love which says “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” we want to go far with pride and integrity. It is more than just wardrobes for us we believe we are changing peoples lives one wardrobes at a time! We create space in our clients minds and hearts by helping them to becoming more organised in a chaotic and busy world so that they can have more peace and joy in there lives… and HAVE MORE FUN! When your house is tidy you can entertain with pride and we show up to work every day to achieve this mission. [Do you have a showroom?](#1634084622147-3-0) We don’t have a showroom but we do have a factory display which exhibits a whole range of wardrobes, handles and different door options. If you have received a measure and quote, you may book an appointment to visit our factory display by calling (02) 9971 8802 or with your wardrobe designer. As our display is based in our manufacturing facility, we require you to make an appointment to ensure your safety and the safety of our team. Thank you for understanding! [How do you ensure cleanliness?](#1634084643962-4-1) By only using employees not contractors we teach our staff to take pride in our clients homes. Every installer has blankets, vacumn cleaner, waste bags and protective equipment to ensure your home is clean from start to finish. If you feel that your house is untidy you can call the business owner directly on 0410 218 699 (Chris Volpe) because we pride ourselves in being the cleanest trade you’ve experienced. [What if something goes wrong?](#1634084666654-5-6) At Fox we take massive pride in the wardrobes we manufacture and install for you. However, we know that sometimes things go wrong. If something does go wrong, please call your direct contact and let them know. We will do EVERYTHING within our power to make sure that your project is finished the best we can in the quickest timeframe possible. If you want to talk to someone else, please call 9971 8802 and ask for Vic Volpe aka Waterfox or Baptiste Jojot aka Frenchie Fox. They will be able to resolve the issue for you. Trust us, we care more about you being happy than we do about making money. [Does the wardrobe go first or new carpet?](#1634084685542-6-10) Wardrobe should go first because you won’t be able to change the carpet easily if wardrobe goes in after the carpet. If the Wardrobe goes in first the carpet layer will put a cut out of carpet inside the wardrobe which can be changed if you change your carpet down the track. [Does the wardrobe go first or new timber flooring?](#1634084704206-7-10) If you are installing timber flooring or floating flooring then you should install that prior to the Wardrobe being installed. This is because laying the flooring up to the wardrobe won’t look ideal if the layer needs to put beading around the edge of the flooring to hide expansion joints. It is also very difficult to lay flooring inside a newly installed wardrobe. We recommend flooring first in this instance. Carpet is a different story! [Should I go sliding doors or hinged doors?](#1634084721306-8-3) The first thing to consider when choosing doors is your budget. Hinged doors are generally more expensive than sliding doors because they take a lot longer to fit that sliding doors. Plus the maximum size that we will guarantee a hinged door is 600mm wide whereas a sliding door can be 1200mm wide. This means less doors which means less cost to fit. Hinged are approx 20% more expensive than sliding doors depending on finish and style chosen. The second thing to consider between sliding and hinged doors is whether you have the space in the bedroom. There is nothing worse than trying to access a hinged door wardrobe and there is a bed right next to it and you struggle to get access. You really want to consider the purpose of the room long term and whether you will always have a single bed or you may want a double or queen in there. Sliding doors are great for preserving the space in the bedroom. However, you don’t get quite the same visibility into the wardrobe as a hinged door configuration. [What is the difference between Polyurethane painted and thermolaminate doors?](#1634084738724-9-5) **Polyurethane Doors:** The polyurethane painting process is an undercoat then two coats of 2pac polyurethane. It’s a spray painted finish so comes out looking smooth not streaky like when a roller or paint brush is used. With these wardrobe doors you can choose any colour in the Dulux range and you can choose from a massive range of routering profiles (shaker styles) that suit your home and decor. E.g. Beachie V-groove or two panel provincial shaker just to name a few. **Thermolaminate Doors:** Thermolaminated doors and panels are made from profiled moisture resistant E-Zero MDF, constructed with a durable and decorative thermoformed surface on the face and edges. The result is a stylish, fully profiled door. Its thermoformed surface makes it resistant to the usual knocks and bumps of a busy household, **Difference between the two:** Polyurethane painted finish is the most expensive finish and has a greater variety of colours and shaker profiles to choose from. However, it can chip if knocked but is more moisture resistant than thermolamiante. Thermolaminate on the other hand is very durable and doesn’t chip like the polyurethane finish but is less moisture resistant with the thermoform being possible to peel back over time in areas that have moisture and has a limited range of colours and profiles to choose from. Thermolaminate is approx 10% cheaper than the polyurethane painted finish. The finished doors of the thermolaminate and the polyurethane finishes look quite similar and it takes a more trained eye to tell the difference. [How does the removal of an existing wardrobe work?](#1634084765451-10-3) Often after a wardrobe is removed there maybe some damage to the existing gyprock, masonry or paint work. If we are removing the wardrobe we will come in a couple of days prior to the installation to remove the wardrobe giving you time to patch and paint the walls. You can pay extra to get backing and side panels in your wardrobe to hide the existing walls if you want to have it all installed in one go at the same time without the need to patch and paint. Just ask one of Foxy Wardrobe Specialists! [What if there is a powerpoint in the way?](#1634084789492-11-5) If you have a powerpoint in the way of where the new wardrobe is going you will need to organise to have this disconnected or removed prior to installation of your new wardrobe. Our Foxes don’t like to get fried so they will not touch an active powerpoint! If you need a good local electrician, just let one of our team know and we can recommend a couple of great ones for you to use. [We are renovating, and need a built-in robe, do you do built-ins?](#1634084810361-12-3) Built-in robes are our specialty. We can help you with the position and design of your built-in wardrobe for maximum functionality. [Do you fit out new homes?](#1634084834560-13-3) Yes we do fit out new homes. You are welcome to bring your final set of plans in for one of our designers to review. [Will you come out to our home to give us a free measure and quote?](#1634084851707-14-5) A free measure and quote is all part of our personal service to you. [How much weight can your shelving carry?](#1634084868997-15-3) We only use quality suppliers who have tested their shelving systems to a 40kg per linear metre rate, which is more than adequate for normal use. [What if there is a picture rail in the way?](#1634084885062-16-8) When installing if there is a picture rail at 2000mm from the floor then we may need to remove it. Alternatively, we will leave the picture rail in place however we will take a notch out of the picture rail in the places where the end panel goes and the wall jamb. This means we will remove a small portion of the picture rail however the majority of it will stay in place. Picture rails are generally only in older houses with a more ornate look and feel. Your Foxy Wardrobe Specialist can help with this when on site designing the robe with you. [What do you do to the cornice when installing the wardrobe?](#1634084908983-17-1)  You will notice in the example image above that this client had a 90mm cornice (top left and right of the image). We took a small cut out of the cornice on the top left (bulkhead) and top right (end panel) of the image we then fit the wardrobe into the cornice and gap fill it so it looks really neat and clean. If you would like more explanation of how we install the wardrobe, please call us on 9971 8802 and ask for one of our Foxy Wardrobe Specialists! [How deep are your walk in wardrobes?](#1634084994806-18-6)  [What type of drawer runners do you use?](#1634085079677-19-10)  At Fox we are focused on providing our clients with the best quality at an affordable price point. Our standard wardrobes have a Metabox full metal side drawer runner with soft closing functionality as standard. We also use full 16mm white carcass bottoms to ensure none of your drawer bottoms sag or fall out over time. [What type of board material do you use in your wardrobes?](#1634085136613-20-4) We work with Polytec for our board product using a high quality moisture resistant particle board for the internals of all our wardrobes and a high grade mdf for the doors in 18mm-25mm thick depending on the door finish chosen. We find Polytec the most reliable supplier on the market and believe that there product is far superior to other competitors especially those sourcing board from China. [How do you ensure large doors will not bend over time?](#1634085160475-21-10) We include a set of strong metal door straighteners from Hafele in all our sliding polyurethane painted doors and extra hinges on all our polyurethane painted hinged doors. These 21mm thick doors with straighteners are highly unlikely to move. Although it costs us more in labour and material cost we take pride in having an extremely high quality product that will last the test of time. We build it tough! [Can I get flooring in my wardrobe?](#1634085178182-22-3) If you would like to get a white carcass floor in your wardrobe which is moisture resistant, please let your Wardrobe Specialist know. They usually cost around $150 – $250 for a floor in the wardrobe. [Can I get a coloured walk in robe?](#1634085199535-23-1)  Yes, we do a whole range of coloured walk in wardrobes. An example image is above. You can expect to pay approximately 25-40% more for a coloured walk in wardrobe than a standard white wardrobe. The price depends on the colour board chosen. Polytec has three ranges – standard melamine ($), ravine ($$) and woodmatt ($$$) – the more $ signs the more expensive the finish. [Do you use sustainable practices to minimise your impact on the environment?](#1634085248990-24-5) Our vision is to create a manufacturing business that is totally sustainable with no waste going to landfill and powered fully by solar energy. Even our food scraps are being used for compost in the factory garden! As at the start of 2020, we are running the business off approximately 96% solar power and send 40% of our offcuts back to the manufacturer to be re-purposed and recycled into new particle board. We also recycle 100% of our soft plastics and cardboard waste diverting this away from landfill to be re-purposed and re-used. We’ve replaced all lighting with energy efficient LED lighting. Our goal for 2030 is to find a solution to recycling MDF board or use a different substrate which can be recycled safely (we believe this is an industry wide issue because it isn’t currently able to be recycled safely) and to find a cost efficient solution to change our fleet from petrol/gas to electricity. Stay tuned for progress updates on our sustainability mission during 2020. [Can I get a quote from my plans even though my house is not built yet and I am six months away from gyprocking?](#1647903840840-25-2) Our process is to attend your home once the builder reaches the gyprocking stage so we can quote accurately and provide current pricing. At this stage of your project we can fully design and measure your space to suit your needs. For budgeting you will be able to utilise your builder to come up with a PC item estimate for your wardrobes. If you require early support around idea generation, our Fox design team are happy to have a conversation over the phone to discuss your project however, formal quoting will need to be at gyprocking stage.  ## Are you renovating your home?

Their requirement was for TV display, sound system, infrared for remote controls with all boxes and wires concealed and plenty of storage for movies and a sexy bookshelf. In the design we incorporated a bookshelf to each side with storage above and below the TV with a symmetrical design and v-groove wall panelling behind for style! We created a cabinet below with a mesh door that allowed the electrical componentry to breath and so that the remote controls could access the infrared on the box for ease of changing channels and functions. **Portfolio Categories:** TV Unit --- ### [Warriewood, Home Office Fitout](https://foxwardrobes.com.au/portfolio/warriewood-home-office-fitout/) **Published:** October 11, 2021 **Author:** Sunny **Excerpt:** This Home Office project was completed for a client who returned for a home office fitout where she could have her and her partner comfortably working from home following the COVID lockdowns. They needed plenty of storage for all of their business documents and have a printer station and have cables in a cable tray out of the way making the space neat and tidy. It included file drawers, lockable drawers, open pidgeon holes for lever arch files and plenty of cabinet space to hide documents and stationery away.
