Whether you are looking to enhance your home's functionality, aesthetic appeal, or simply need more organised storage space, custom wardrobes in Sydney offer a tailored solution.

This article aims to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the timeline involved in creating your dream storage solution, from initial design to final installation.
We will discuss the various stages of the process, beginning with the initial consultation and design phase, where our skilled designers work closely with you to understand your needs and preferences. We will also discuss the time it takes to manufacture your custom wardrobe, emphasising the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into each piece. Lastly, we will cover the installation phase, providing insights into how long you can expect our professional team to install your new wardrobe efficiently and with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
We understand that a wardrobe is more than just a storage solution; it is an integral component of your living space, reflecting your style and meeting your functional needs. Our design process, spanning 1 to 3 weeks, is meticulously crafted to transform your vision into reality. Here's how we bring your custom wardrobe to life.
The journey begins with an initial consultation, where we aim to understand your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. This session is crucial in setting the foundation for your custom wardrobe. During this phase, we encourage you to share your ideas, inspirations, and any specific requirements you might have.
Understanding Your Space: We conduct a thorough examination of your available space. Our team measures the dimensions and evaluates any architectural features that may influence the design, such as sloped ceilings, alcoves, or existing fixtures.
Identifying Your Needs: Whether you require more hanging space for suits, drawers for accessories, or shoe racks, we tailor the design to fit your specific needs. We also consider your future requirements to ensure your wardrobe remains functional over time.
Exploring Style Preferences: From modern minimalism to classic elegance, we explore various design aesthetics to align with your personal style. Our portfolio is vast, offering a plethora of materials, finishes, and fittings to choose from.
With a clear understanding of your needs and preferences, our design team sets to work. This stage involves the following:
Drafting the Design: Utilising state-of-the-art design software, we create detailed plans, ensuring precision down to the last millimetre. Our designs not only focus on aesthetics but also on maximising space and enhancing functionality.
Material Selection: We guide you through selecting materials that best suit your design and budget. From high-quality woods to sleek metals and glass, our options cater to a variety of tastes and functional needs.
Incorporating Accessories: Our custom wardrobes are designed with a wide array of accessories to enhance usability. Consider additions such as pull-out trays, soft-close drawers, LED lighting, and built-in mirrors, all tailored to your requirements.
Before moving forward, we present the proposed design for your review. This collaborative phase ensures that every detail aligns with your vision.
Feedback Session: We welcome your feedback and any modifications you might suggest. Our goal is to refine the design to perfection, ensuring it meets every aspect of your expectation.
Final Approval: Once you are completely satisfied with the design, we proceed to finalise the plans. This approval is pivotal, as it transitions the project from planning to execution.
With a finalised design, we establish a timeline for the project that fits seamlessly into your schedule.
Setting Expectations: We provide a clear timeline for the manufacturing and installation process. While the design phase typically spans 1 to 3 weeks, we ensure transparency throughout to keep you informed at every step.
Coordinating Installation: Our team coordinates with you to schedule the installation at a convenient time, minimising disruption to your daily routine. We pride ourselves on punctuality and efficiency, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to creation.
By the end of this design phase, we are committed to crafting custom wardrobes that are as unique as you are, setting the stage for the next exciting phase: bringing your design to life.
Creating a custom wardrobe is an endeavour that combines craftsmanship, technology, and quality materials to meet the unique needs of each client. We take immense pride in our manufacturing process, which typically spans 2–6 weeks. This timeline ensures every detail is crafted to perfection. Here’s a detailed look at the steps involved in this process.
This phase marks the transition from creative brainstorming to concrete planning, where every detail—from the cabinet layout and finish to the hardware and wood types—is carefully chosen.
Consultation and Custom Design
This stage is crucial for translating your vision into a comprehensive design plan. Our experienced designers use advanced CAD software to create detailed 3D models of your wardrobe, allowing you to visualise the end product before it goes into production.
Material Selection
Once the design is finalised, the next step is selecting the materials. We offer a wide range of high-quality options, including various types of wood, finishes, and hardware. Our commitment to sustainability means we source materials responsibly, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.
Cutting and Shaping
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sydney is equipped with precision machinery that cuts and shapes the selected materials according to the design specifications. This step is crucial for ensuring that each component of your wardrobe fits together seamlessly. Our skilled craftsmen oversee this process to maintain the highest standards of quality and precision.
Assembly and Detailing
After cutting, the various components are assembled by our team of expert craftsmen. This phase involves fine-tuning the details, such as aligning the doors, installing drawers, and adding any bespoke features like integrated lighting or shoe racks. Attention to detail is paramount, as even the smallest imperfection can affect the overall functionality and aesthetics of the wardrobe.
Quality Checks
Before moving to the finishing stage, each piece undergoes rigorous quality checks. Our quality assurance team inspects every aspect of the wardrobe, ensuring that it meets our stringent standards. This includes checking for structural integrity, smooth operation of moving parts, and flawless finishes.
Finishing Touches
The final step in the manufacturing process is applying the chosen finishes. Whether you prefer a natural wood look, a sleek modern finish, or a vibrant colour, our finishing team ensures that the surface treatment enhances both the appearance and durability of the wardrobe. This stage also involves installing the final hardware, such as handles and hinges, which are carefully selected to complement the overall design.
Once the design and construction phases are complete, the most exciting part of the custom wardrobe process begins: installation and setup. At Silva Wardrobe, we understand that seeing your vision come to life is a moment of anticipation and satisfaction. Our skilled installation team ensures that your custom wardrobe is fitted with precision, care, and efficiency. Here’s what you can expect during this crucial stage of the process.
The installation phase kicks off with our team arriving at your home equipped with all the necessary tools and components. Prior to arrival, we schedule a convenient time for you, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine. Our installers first protect your home by laying down protective coverings to safeguard floors and walls from any potential damage during the setup.
With the site prepared, the assembly of your custom wardrobe begins. Our team follows the design blueprint, ensuring that each component fits perfectly. Depending on the complexity and size of the wardrobe, this process can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Here are the key steps involved:
At Silva Wardrobe, quality assurance is paramount. Once the installation is complete, our team conducts a thorough inspection to confirm that every component is secure and functioning correctly. We check for alignment, stability, and ease of use, making adjustments as necessary to meet our high standards.
After ensuring everything is perfect, our team will clean up the workspace, removing any debris and protective coverings used during the installation. We believe in leaving your space as clean and pristine as we found it, allowing you to immediately enjoy your new wardrobe.
Before we leave, we conduct a walkthrough with you to demonstrate the functionality of your new custom wardrobe, address any questions, and provide maintenance tips to ensure its longevity. By the end of our installation and setup process, your custom wardrobe is ready for use, perfectly tailored to your lifestyle and space requirements.
