Hey there! As a supplier of custom open wardrobes, I know that many of you might be thinking about sprucing up your space with one of these awesome pieces. And what's even cooler? Installing it all by yourself! It's not as daunting as it might seem, and I'm here to guide you through the whole process.
Why a Custom Open Wardrobe?
First off, let's talk about why a custom open wardrobe is a great choice. Unlike traditional closed wardrobes, open wardrobes offer easy access to your clothes and belongings. You can see everything at a glance, which makes getting dressed in the morning a breeze. Plus, they add a modern and airy feel to your room.
We offer a wide range of styles to suit different tastes. For instance, the Modern Open Closet is sleek and contemporary, perfect for those who love a minimalist look. If you're into a more industrial vibe, the Industrial Open Wardrobe With Drawers is a great option. It combines functionality with a rugged, edgy style. And for a classic and warm look, the White Wooden Open Wardrobe is a timeless choice.
Getting Prepared
Before you start the installation process, you need to make sure you have everything ready. Here's a list of things you'll need:
- Tools: You'll need a drill, a screwdriver (both flathead and Phillips), a measuring tape, a level, a hammer, and some nails or screws.
- Space: Measure the area where you plan to install the wardrobe. Make sure there's enough space for the wardrobe and that the floor is level. You don't want your wardrobe to wobble once it's installed.
- Read the Manual: Every custom open wardrobe comes with an installation manual. Take the time to read it carefully before you start. It'll give you a clear idea of the steps involved and any specific instructions for your particular model.
Step-by-Step Installation
Now, let's get into the actual installation process. I'll break it down into simple steps to make it easier for you.


Step 1: Unpack and Organize
Once you've received your custom open wardrobe, unpack all the parts and lay them out in an organized way. Check for any damaged parts and contact us if you find any. This is also a good time to label the parts according to the manual, so you know which piece goes where.
Step 2: Assemble the Frame
Start by assembling the frame of the wardrobe. Usually, this involves connecting the vertical and horizontal pieces using screws or bolts. Use your drill or screwdriver to tighten the connections securely. Make sure to use the level to ensure that the frame is straight and level. If it's not, it could cause problems later on.
Step 3: Attach the Shelves and Rails
Next, it's time to attach the shelves and rails. Follow the instructions in the manual to determine the correct placement of the shelves. You might need to drill holes in the frame to attach the shelves and rails. Use the appropriate screws or brackets to secure them in place.
Step 4: Install the Drawers (if applicable)
If your custom open wardrobe comes with drawers, now is the time to install them. Slide the drawer runners into place on the frame and attach them using screws. Then, attach the drawers to the runners. Make sure the drawers slide smoothly and are properly aligned.
Step 5: Mount the Wardrobe to the Wall
To ensure the stability of your custom open wardrobe, it's a good idea to mount it to the wall. Use wall anchors and screws to attach the wardrobe to the wall studs. This will prevent the wardrobe from tipping over, especially if it's tall or if there are children or pets in the house.
Step 6: Final Checks
Once you've completed the installation, do a final check to make sure everything is in place and working properly. Check the doors, drawers, and shelves to ensure they open and close smoothly. Use the level again to make sure the wardrobe is still straight and level.
Tips and Tricks
- Take Your Time: Don't rush the installation process. It's better to take your time and do it right than to make mistakes that could cause problems later on.
- Ask for Help: If you're not comfortable doing the installation by yourself, don't hesitate to ask a friend or family member to help you. Two heads are better than one!
- Keep the Manual Handy: Refer to the manual whenever you're unsure about a step. It's there to help you.
