Because Your Wardrobe Shouldn’t Just Store — It Should Speak
At Robes Collective, we believe every wardrobe should reflect its owner. From the grain of the timber to the handle on the drawer, every detail is an opportunity to inject personality, elevate your space, and increase the value of your home.
Whether you’re designing a custom wardrobe in Melbourne, updating a tired built-in wardrobe, or creating a walk-in wardrobe that feels more like a boutique, choosing the right finishes and hardware makes all the difference.
Let’s explore the premium options available — and how Robes Collective helps you personalise every element of your robe.
⸻
Start With the Finish: Texture, Tone, and Timeless Appeal
The wardrobe finish sets the tone for the entire space. Do you want a contemporary matt white? A bold timber grain? A luxe metallic sheen?
Our most popular finishes for custom wardrobes Melbourne-wide include:
• Matt or satin laminate
• Woodgrain veneer (e.g. walnut, oak, teak)
• Thermolaminate for sleek custom wardrobe doors
• Mirror or glass finishes for visual space
• Anti-fingerprint textured options for high-use areas
Why it matters: Finishes affect not only aesthetics but also durability, cleanability, and how light reflects within your space.

Hardware That Speaks Volumes — Without Saying a Word
Wardrobe handles are the jewellery of your cabinetry. The right selection can make a minimalist robe feel luxe, or a traditional robe feel modern.
At Robes Collective, we offer:
• Matt black bar handles
• Recessed finger pulls for handle-less designs
• Brass knobs or pulls for heritage homes
• Push-to-open hardware for a seamless, ultra-minimal look
• Soft-close runners on wardrobe drawers

Wardrobe Lighting + Finishes = Magic
It’s not just about the surface — it’s how the finish looks under lighting. We help you pair your chosen finish with the right wardrobe lighting solutions to highlight textures and create mood.
Warm LEDs look stunning on timber grains
Strip lighting under shelving enhances ambient feel
Motion-sensor lights = practicality + luxury

Trends or Timeless? Why Custom Always Wins
Melbourne’s interior trends may change — but personalisation never goes out of style. Your robe can reflect:
• Scandinavian calm with white and oak
• Contemporary drama with matt black and brass
• Urban elegance with mirrored sliding wardrobe doors
• Classic heritage charm with panelled finishes
With custom cabinetry from Robes Collective, your design isn’t just on-trend — it’s tailored, built to last, and completely unique to you.

Wardrobe Function is the Ultimate Luxury

Every drawer glide, every shelf height, every door swing — it’s all designed for you. At Robes Collective, we build wardrobe storage solutions that match how you live.
Whether you’re after:
• Slimline drawers for jewellery and watches
• Pull-out hampers hidden behind panelled doors
• Integrated shoe shelving
• Overhead compartments for suitcases and seasonal items
We make sure your wardrobe doesn’t just look stunning — it works.
