Everything You Need to Build a New Wardrobe, All in One Place
Most wardrobe projects stall in the same place. You have a wall, a rough budget, and no clear picture of what sits between those two things. So the decision gets pushed to next month, and the wardrobe you’ve already got stays exactly where it is for another year.
We’ve just launched a page to close that gap: The Cutshop® Wardrobe Hub
It isn’t just a webpage. It’s layouts, internal dimensions, finish directions and the exact process, all in one place.
Get inspired
Our layout gallery is the quickest way to work out what you’re actually looking for.
All the main shapes and styles are there: simple built-in, double hanging, floor-to-ceiling, full-room walk-in, and more. There’s something for everyone and this is just the starting point. Every wardrobe shown is fully customisable.
Each wardrobe carries a reference code, WRD60 through WRD71. Those codes are more useful than they look. They mean you never have to describe a wardrobe from memory, or hope that “sort of like a walk-in but smaller” lands the way you meant it. Copy the one you like, send it through with your measurements, and the design conversation is largely finished before it starts: that one, 2340mm wide, up to the ceiling. Simple.
Your own custom wardrobe is only 4 simple steps away
1. Plan your layout
Measure the space and decide how you want the inside divided between hanging, shelves and drawers. Or choose a wardrobe from our catalogue and our team can work out the interior for you based on your choice.
2. Submit your specs
Send a cutlist, a DXF file, a CAD drawing, or a photo of a pencil sketch with dimensions written on it. All of it works. Our team reviews it and comes back to you before anything is cut, which is where the small errors get caught.
3. We cut it
Every panel is CNC-cut to your exact measurements, edge-finished, and labelled so you know which piece is which.
4. Pick up or get it delivered
Collect from any of our three factories, or have it delivered anywhere in New Zealand. From there all it takes is a weekend and a drill. Or if you’d rather hand it over, a good joiner will thank you for turning up with components that are ready to go, and the invoice will be substantially less.
Why people build their wardrobe with Cutshop®
It comes down to three things: the precision, the freedom, and what you save by doing the labour yourself.
The precision. We run the same CNC machinery that cuts commercial kitchen fit-outs, and a wardrobe goes through it the same way — every panel to your millimetre, edge-finished and labelled so you know which piece is which. Homeowners, builders, cabinetmakers, designers and architects all use Cutshop®, which means a first-time DIY wardrobe is machined to the same high-standards a professional would expect.
The freedom. Nothing we cut is a standard size, so nothing has to be worked around. Any width, any height, reduced depth where the room is tight, sloping ceilings and alcoves included — and the full range of board and edging rather than the handful of colours a retailer holds in stock. There's no minimum order either, so a single custom shelf is as welcome as a full walk-in.
The savings. Commissioning full joinery means paying for design time, assembly, finishing, installation and a slot in someone's calendar — and skilled joiners are scarce right now, which is what stretches lead times and lifts quotes. Cut-to-size splits that bill: you pay for the cutting, the part that actually needs the machine, not the part you can do yourself, the assembly. All it takes is a weekend and a drill. Better fit than flat-pack, at a fraction of full joinery cost.
Why we created Cutshop®’s Wardrobe Hub
Because too many people settle before they know their options. The default is a flat-pack unit: a few hundred dollars, in stock, problem solved this weekend. But it's built to a price that assumes replacement. Chipboard sags under folded clothes, cam-locks work loose, edges chip and then swell. And because it's made to warehouse widths, it leaves a gap above and a gap beside, commonly a quarter to a third of a wall you're already paying a mortgage on, holding nothing. People don't choose that. They just don't get told there's anything between flat-pack and a five-figure joinery quote. The hub exists to put that third option in front of them.
Because the barrier people imagine isn't the real one. Most assume building a wardrobe means carpentry. It doesn't. The hard part was never the assembly, it was the cutting. Getting ten panels of 18mm board square to within a millimetre and sealing every raw edge takes a panel saw and an edgebander, and that's what you were hiring a joiner for. We already own those machines. So the wardrobe hub sets the whole process out plainly: send your measurements, we cut and edge and label every panel, and all that’s left to do is assembly.
Because it's hard to commit to something you can't picture. A good wardrobe is obvious the moment you open it, the panel meets the ceiling, the drawer closes itself, the rail sits at a height that suits what's hanging on it, and there's no filler strip or dead corner anywhere. But it's difficult to imagine from a plain wall and a tape measure. This hub gathers the layouts, the styles and the internal dimensions all in one place, so you can see the finished thing before you commit to it.
Time to front up
That wardrobe in your bedroom, the one that doesn’t fit all your clothes, with the door that sticks, and the jammed drawer. The wardrobe you've been meaning to deal with for years. It isn't going to fix itself, and it isn't going to get any more suited to your lifestyle. But there’s good news, today's the day it changes. The only thing standing between it and a wardrobe built exactly for you is a brief look at our new wardrobe page, a set of measurements and a phone call or quote form. Let’s make it happen.
Everything you need, on one page.
