Wardrobe Renovations That Combine Design, Storage & Lifestyle
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It — See What Real Clients Are Saying
At Robes Collective, we’ve always believed our work should speak for itself. But when our clients share how their new wardrobes have changed their lives — that’s when the impact really hits home.
This blog is a collection of stories from homeowners across Melbourne who chose Robes Collective to design, build and install custom wardrobes that work just as beautifully as they look.
Each one is different. Each one is real. And each one proves that when it comes to wardrobes — custom always wins.
Project #1: From Cluttered Spare Room to Streamlined Storage in Newport
Client: Amanda & Josh, Newport
Challenge: An unused guest room became a dumping ground for clothes, kids’ gear, and seasonal items.
Solution: A full-wall built-in wardrobe with overhead cupboards, adjustable shelving, and integrated laundry hampers.
“We honestly didn’t think the room had this much potential. Robes Collective maximised every inch, and now it’s the most organised space in the house. The built-in hampers were a game-changer.”
— Amanda, Newport
Before & After:
• Before: mismatched furniture, overflowing plastic tubs, no structure
• After: full-height custom cabinetry in soft matte white with timber accents, LED lighting, soft-close drawers
Project #2: Compact Bedroom, Maximum Functionality in Yarraville
Client: Theo, Yarraville
Challenge: A small master bedroom with no built-in storage, and very limited floor space.
Solution: Custom sliding-door wardrobe with mirrored panels, internal lighting, and pull-out shoe racks.
“Every time I open this wardrobe, I’m blown away. It feels like a designer closet — and it fits in a tiny space. I never thought something this slick could be custom-made for my little bedroom.”
— Theo, Yarraville
Highlights:
• Sliding doors saved space
• Mirrored panels brightened the room
• Internal fit-out included drawers, racks and shelving tailored to Theo’s needs
Project #3: Walk-In Wardrobe Worthy of a Magazine in Williamstown
Client: Jacinta, Williamstown
Challenge: A large space with no existing storage — Jacinta wanted a luxurious walk-in robe that matched the aesthetic of her new ensuite.
Solution: Fully custom walk-in with dual-sided hanging zones, display shelving, built-in vanity, and soft ambient lighting.
“It’s honestly my favourite part of the house now. I use it every day and still get excited walking in. Robes Collective nailed the vision — it’s functional, elegant, and completely personalised.”
— Jacinta, Williamstown
Design features:
• Warm oak cabinetry with brushed brass handles
• Backlit shelving for bags and accessories
• Vanity space with custom mirror and drawer layout
Project #4: Matching Robes Across a Whole Home in Altona
Client: Sofia & Luke, Altona
Challenge: Renovating an entire home — wanted cohesive custom wardrobes in the master, guest, and hallway.
Solution: Three separate built-in robes designed with matching materials, finishes and accessories — each tailored to the room it served.
“We didn’t want each room to feel disconnected. Robes Collective helped us create a design language that flowed through the house. The consistency makes the whole renovation feel high-end.”
— Sofia, Altona
Details:
• Master robe with mirrored sliding doors and black pull-out accessories
• Guest bedroom with simple shelving and soft-close drawers
• Entry hallway cupboard designed for coats, shoes and umbrellas
Project #5: A Busy Family’s Dream Storage in Seddon
Client: Melissa & Dave, Seddon
Challenge: A family of five and zero storage. Toys, sports gear, and clothing were taking over the house.
Solution: Built-in robes in three kids’ bedrooms, plus hallway and laundry cabinetry — all custom designed for real life.
“They really got what we needed. Not just shelves and drawers, but things like backpack hooks, sports shelves, and even hidden charging stations for tablets. It’s changed how we live.”
— Melissa, Seddon
Extras:
• Custom colour palette to suit each child’s personality
• Durable finishes for high-traffic areas
• Smart internal compartments with future growth in mind
