A custom walk-in wardrobe renovation using Flexi Storage cabinetry tailored to create an L-shaped section and a vanity area. Adding trim gave the cabinetry a built-in look, while recessed downlights and LED strips complemented the high-end finish.

The project
We have been wanting to renovate our walk-in wardrobe but kept putting it off due to the price of cabinets, as I wanted a custom look. I decided in the end to purchase a number of units off-the-shelf and customise them to create a space that is perfect for us.
We bought four drawer units, four hanging units, two corner units, two shelving units and four glass drawers.
To create the vanity area we cut down the drawer units to the height of the top drawer, reinforced it, and added a stone top we found on Marketplace.
The biggest tell that your cabinets are flatpack is the join where the two cabinets meet, so we added Pine trim - once again off-the-shelf from Bunnings - to the top, bottom, and in between each of the units. We also added strip lighting to the shelves and units.
I didn't fix the back panel to the hanging cabinets of the wall cabinets, and instead painted the wall behind the cabinets, making the whole room feel larger. As we removed the back panel we ensured the cabinets were all securely screwed to the wall and to each other to reduce movement.
Then I filled and decorated, I dried some lavender from the garden for the prints.
