The wardrobe is the piece of furniture guests use more than any other in the room. They open it at check-in to hang up a coat, open it again every morning to get what they need, and close it every evening. In a room with high turnover, a wardrobe is opened and closed hundreds of times a month. The problem isn’t just cosmetic: a door that creaks or won’t close properly ends up in negative reviews. We make made-to-measure wardrobes for hotels, built to the exact dimensions of the available wall, with Blum hinges tested for over 200,000 opening cycles, interiors fitted out for the real needs of two guests, and scratch-resistant surfaces that stand up to professional cleaning products. One single point of contact, with delivery and installation included worldwide.

The inside of the wardrobe is the problem no one solves at the design stage
When a hotel room is refurbished, attention almost always goes to the look of the wardrobe: the colour of the doors, the finish, the handles. The interior gets decided in three minutes with a standard layout. That’s why most wardrobes in Italian hotels share the same problem: a single hanging rail, two or three fixed shelves, and a space that isn’t fitted out for the real needs of two guests staying two or three nights.
Two guests in a double room need to hang up at least four items each, put away folded clothes, find a place for shoes, and find room for an open suitcase. With a single rail and two fixed shelves, one of the two guests ends up leaving their case open on the floor or on the bed. That’s not a problem of space: it’s a problem of interior design.
The wardrobe interiors we build for double rooms have a double hanging rail with two separate zones, height-adjustable shelves to suit different types of clothing, a drawer unit for folded items, dedicated space at the bottom for shoes, and a fitting for a safe in the upper compartment. Every element is sized to the wardrobe’s real width and to the specific needs of the property’s target guests.
Hinged or sliding doors: which to choose based on the room layout
The choice between hinged and sliding doors isn’t an aesthetic one: it’s a question of clearance. A standard 60 cm hinged door needs 60 cm of free space in front of the wardrobe to open fully. In a 16 sqm room with a bed, desk and wardrobe, that 60 cm is often the same space housekeeping staff need to get the trolley through.
The rule of thumb we follow during the site survey is this: if there’s less than 80 cm of space in front of the wardrobe, sliding doors are almost always the better choice. If there’s more than 100 cm, hinged doors give easier access to the interior and make the runners easier to keep clean. Between 80 and 100 cm, it depends on where the other furniture sits and how people move through the room.
Sliding doors have an extra advantage in small rooms: they don’t visually add bulk to the room when open. A hinged door opened to 90 degrees doubles the visual depth of the wardrobe and can make a room feel narrower than it is. In rooms under 16 sqm this effect is especially pronounced. The free site survey lets us work out the best solution on the real floor plan, rather than a rough estimate.
Hinges, surfaces and materials: how a hotel wardrobe is built
The most critical point is the hinges. The Blum hinges we use are tested for over 200,000 opening and closing cycles, which means a working life of 15 to 20 years even in a hotel room where one guest a day opens the wardrobe three or four times. Blum hinges cost more up front, but the cost of replacing a door that no longer closes, with the room out of service and a joiner called in, is far higher.
The second critical point is the surfaces. Professional cleaning products contain high concentrations of detergents and disinfectants that test any surface. The scratch-resistant surfaces we use are specifically tested to withstand hotel cleaning products, and keep their original appearance for the whole working life of the wardrobe.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make made-to-measure wardrobes for non-standard dimensions too?
Yes. Every wardrobe is made to the exact dimensions of the available wall, measured during the site survey. There is no such thing as a non-standard size for us: if the wall is 173 cm wide, the wardrobe is 172 cm wide.
Is it possible to add a safe inside the wardrobe?
Yes. All models can be made with a compartment ready for a safe. The safe itself is not included in our supply, but the compartment is sized to the safe model specified by the property.
How long do the hinges on the wardrobes you make last?
The Blum hinges we use are tested for over 200,000 opening and closing cycles, equivalent to around 15-20 years of intensive hotel use under normal conditions.
Can you make wardrobes for rooms with sloping ceilings or exposed beams?
Yes. We design every wardrobe to the room’s actual dimensions, including any sloping ceilings. In these cases, the site survey is particularly important for accurately measuring every geometric constraint.
Are the surfaces resistant to professional cleaning products?
Yes. We use scratch-resistant surfaces specifically tested to withstand hotel cleaning products. They do not dull or scratch with the daily use of professional detergents.
How long does it take to produce and install a wardrobe?
Production takes around 4-6 weeks from order confirmation. Installation is included worldwide and is arranged with the property to minimise operational disruption.
