How to create a built-in closet with CUBRO

Built-in wardrobes are one of the most sought-after solutions for maximizing a home's storage capacity without sacrificing style. Because they're built-in, their doors align perfectly with the wall, offering visual continuity that's ideal for clean and tidy environments.

This makes them a practical and aesthetic solution, capable of bringing order and harmony to any room in the house. They also add value to the property's market, as built-in wardrobes are in high demand among both buyers and tenants, who are looking for a functional, practical home that allows them to avoid spending a lot on freestanding furniture.

Creating a built-in wardrobe with CUBRO wardrobe fronts is a simple process that allows you to personalize your home's design, increase functionality, and enhance the value of your home. We'll tell you how.

Before you begin

The process of creating a built-in wardrobe is simple, however, it requires planning and professional assistance. If you're in the midst of a complete renovation, this is the perfect time to talk to your architect about your built-in wardrobes, their features and measurements, and to plan their openings to take into account when installing the plasterboard walls.

If you're not renovating your home, a small, quick, and inexpensive project will be necessary to build the plasterboard recess where your CUBRO built-in wardrobe will be located.

Although this is a project that requires professional intervention in any case, it's helpful to know the steps to make informed decisions throughout the process.

Step by step

1. Measure the space

It's essential to assess your available space. Built-in wardrobes can fit large, small, or irregularly shaped rooms, but it's always necessary to have a professional assess whether adjustments to the walls, ceilings, or floors are necessary, and check for interference with electrical outlets or plumbing to ensure the wardrobe fits perfectly.

Once you've studied the space, you'll be able to accurately mark the measurements of your built-in wardrobe.

2. Build the recess

Once the measurements are defined, a plasterboard frame will be created to allow the closet to be embedded into the wall. This frame will completely conceal the back of the closet and align its doors flush with the wall, creating a sense of spaciousness and continuity in the home's design.

3. Create a personalized interior

Designing the interior of your built-in wardrobe will be very easy with the IKEA PAX configurator, and even easier if you leave it in the hands of the CUBRO design team, by clicking here.

Select the modules based on the size that best suits you. You can choose the depth (35 cm or 58 cm), the height (201 cm or 236 cm), and three different widths (50 cm, 75 cm, and 100 cm).

Equip the different units with IKEA closet interior accessories tailored to your needs. Hanging rods, drawers, pull-out baskets, shoe racks, shelves, and accessory trays... think about your closet and decide how you want to keep it organized and visible.

4. Choose your CUBRO wardrobe fronts

Choose the finishes for your built-in wardrobe from the wide range of CUBRO wardrobe fronts and handles. A CUBRO LINOLEUM finish adds sophistication and durability to your wardrobe, or perhaps you prefer the warmth of natural wood with CUBRO WOOD, an original color like those offered by CUBRO LAMINATE, or the fingerprint-resistant and easy-clean finish of CUBRO LACQUER.
