Consider what items you need to store: clothes, shoes, or accessories. This will aid in excluding the type of wardrobe that does not suit your lifestyle. For example, if it is predominantly filled with long dresses or coats, then we suggest a wardrobe with hanging rail. We provide customised fitted wardrobes in Manchester that ensure you get the most out of your space and, at the same time, help you keep things in order. The Right Type: Shaker Style, Sliding Door Or Opening Door Wardrobe When it comes to choosing a fitted wardrobe, it's not just about storage—it's about style and making the most of your space. The right wardrobe can transform a room, so it’s important to pick the one that suits your needs best. Let’s dive into the three popular options: Shaker style, sliding door, and opening door wardrobes. Shaker Style Wardrobes: Timeless and Elegant If you're a fan of classic design, the Shaker style wardrobe might just win your heart. It’s all about simplicity, featuring clean lines and a straightforward look. Inspired by traditional craftsmanship, Shaker wardrobes blend seamlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. They often have a frame and panel construction, which gives a sense of depth and sophistication. Perfect if you’re looking for a wardrobe that’s both stylish and understated. Why Choose Shaker Style?
  • Timeless Appeal: It’s a style that never goes out of fashion.
  • Versatility: Fits beautifully in both contemporary and traditional homes.
  • Durable Build: Typically crafted from solid wood, they are built to last.
Sliding Door Wardrobes: Sleek and Space-Saving For those with limited space or who prefer a modern look, a sliding door wardrobe is a fantastic option. Because the doors slide rather than swing out, you don’t need extra space in front of the wardrobe. This makes it ideal for smaller bedrooms or awkwardly shaped rooms where every inch counts. Plus, sliding doors often come with mirrored finishes, which can help make a small room feel bigger and brighter. Benefits of Sliding Door Wardrobes
  • Maximises Space: Great for small or narrow rooms.
  • Modern Aesthetic: Offers a sleek, streamlined look.
  • Customisable Options: Choose from various materials, finishes, and mirror options.
Opening Door Wardrobes: Classic and Practical The opening door wardrobe, also known as a hinged door wardrobe, is the traditional option we all know and love. It offers full visibility of the contents, making it easier to organise and access your belongings. If you have enough space, this type of wardrobe can be a practical and stylish addition to your room, often featuring shelves, drawers, and hanging rails for all your storage needs. Advantages of Opening Door Wardrobes
  • Full Access: Open the doors wide to see everything at once.
  • Great for Custom Interiors: Easily add shelving, drawers, and hanging space.
  • Classic Look: A timeless choice that adds a touch of tradition to your home.
Which One Should You Choose? Your choice ultimately depends on your space and style preference:
  • Small Room? Go for sliding doors to save space.
  • Love Classic Design? Opt for a Shaker style wardrobe.
  • Need Full Access? An opening door wardrobe offers the best visibility.
Each wardrobe type has its own unique benefits, so think about what suits your needs best. Whichever you choose, a well-fitted wardrobe can enhance the look of your room while providing much-needed storage space.

Fitted a beautiful walk-in wardrobe in our master bedroom. The 3D design helped us visualize it perfectly before they started. The installation was clean, quick and the finish is superb.

A fitted wardrobe from AF Fitted Wardrobes starts at £2,400 for a 3m run, including design, manufacture and installation. The final price depends on width, height, internal layout and finish — your free design visit gives you a fixed, itemised quote with no obligation.

About 14 days from approved design to installed wardrobe. That covers the 3D design, manufacture in our Greater Manchester workshop, and a typical one-to-two day fit.

Yes. We measure your space, talk through layouts and produce a 3D visual free of charge. There is no obligation and no deposit taken at that stage.

Every installation carries a 10-year material guarantee, and we handle any aftercare directly rather than through a third party.

That is exactly where fitted furniture pays for itself. Loft eaves, coombed ceilings, chimney breasts, bay windows and under-stairs voids are all made to measure, so awkward angles become usable storage instead of dead space.

Still unsure? — we'll measure up and tell you honestly whether fitted is the right call for your room.
