Wardrobes and closets, fitted to the millimeter
Ready-made wardrobes leave gaps: above, beside, behind. A fitted wardrobe uses the full height and width of the wall, and its interior is divided around what you actually own. At Formo Atelier we build custom wardrobes and walk-in closets in our Tirana workshop, measured on site and installed by hand.

What we build
From a single wardrobe to a walk-in room
Every order starts with the wall and the wardrobe’s future contents: how much hanging space, how many drawers, what needs to stay visible.
Fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes
Built wall to wall and up to the ceiling, with no dust gap on top and no wasted strip on the side.
Sliding-door wardrobes
For rooms where a hinged door has no room to swing, with quiet European sliding systems and doors in board, glass, or mirror.
Walk-in closets
Open shelving, hanging rails, drawer islands, and lighting planned as a small room of its own.
Hallway and utility storage
Entryway closets for coats and shoes, and utility cupboards that hide the boiler, the ironing board, or the vacuum.
Under-stair and attic solutions
Sloped ceilings and odd angles are exactly where custom building beats anything off the shelf.
Wardrobe models we build
The four most ordered models: sliding doors, hinged doors, a walk-in closet and a wardrobe under a sloped ceiling. The model is chosen from your wall and your clothes, not from the photo.
Materials and finishes
Materials for wardrobes and closets
A wardrobe is mostly doors and interior, so the board matters twice: once for how the fronts look, once for how the shelves and rails hold up. These are the families we build wardrobes from; the MDF vs melamine guide explains what to ask for.
Melamine
Chipboard or MDF faced with a hard, printed melamine layer. Scratch- and moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and available in hundreds of wood and plain decors. Our standard for carcasses and the most practical choice for fronts.
MDF (lacquered or moisture-resistant)
A dense, uniform fibreboard that machines cleanly. Moisture-resistant grades go into carcasses near water; lacquered MDF gives smooth matt or satin fronts in any colour, with no visible joints or grain.
Wood veneer
A thin layer of real oak, walnut or ash bonded to a stable board core. The look and touch of solid wood with far less movement, so large doors and panels stay flat for years.
High-gloss acrylic
MDF faced with a thick acrylic layer for a deep, mirror-like gloss that stays colour-fast. Scratch-resistant in daily use, easy to wipe down, and the usual choice for modern handleless kitchens.

Site measurement
We measure the space ourselves, including walls out of square, sockets and pipes.
Drawings and quote
You approve 3D views and technical drawings alongside an itemized quote. Nothing is cut before that.
Build and install
Built in our Tirana workshop and installed by the same team, with a handover inspection together.
Interiors planned around your clothes
The outside of a wardrobe is your decision: doors, finish, handles. The inside is where building experience matters. Together with you we lay out double and single hanging heights, shelf depths, drawer counts, and shoe storage around what your wardrobe actually holds, using the measurement standards we publish on our blog.
Doors run on European hinges and sliding systems with soft-close as standard, and every interior fitting is adjustable, so the wardrobe can change as your needs do. Drawers are built as boxes, not folded sheet, and they feel like it.
Depth, rail heights and shelf spacing start from the numbers in our wardrobe dimensions guide and are then adjusted to what you actually hang and fold.
A master craftsman with 30 years at the bench
Sherif Hamiti built cabinetry and fine joinery in Athens for three decades before co-founding Formo. Every joint, edge and finish that leaves the workshop passes through his hands.
Technical drawings before the first cut
Ardineli Caci turns your idea into 3D models and production drawings that you approve first, so what gets built is exactly what you signed off, to the millimetre.
European boards and hardware, as standard
Moisture-resistant MDF and quality melamine boards for carcasses, solid wood and veneer where the design calls for it, soft-close hinges and runners on every door and drawer, edges sealed on every panel.
Installed by the team that built it
The same people who measured and built your piece install it: aligned fronts, adjusted hinges, sealed joints against the wall, and a handover inspection with you.
Cost
What affects the cost of custom furniture?
Every project is quoted from real site measurements, so there is no price list. These are the things that move a quote up or down:
Size and layout:
the number of units, tall columns, corners, islands and how much wall you are covering.
Materials:
melamine, lacquered or acrylic fronts, veneer and solid wood sit at very different points, and carcass and fronts can be mixed.
Hardware:
soft-close is standard; pull-out pantries, corner mechanisms, lift-up doors and internal organisers add to it.
Integration:
built-in appliances, lighting, sockets and ventilation planned into the cabinetry.
Site conditions:
walls out of square, pipes to work around, access and floor levels all affect the work on the day.
Questions
Common questions about fitted wardrobes
How much does a fitted wardrobe cost?
The main factors are width and height, the door system, and the interior layout. Sliding doors and mirror or glass fronts cost more than hinged board doors. Contact us and we will prepare a free itemized quote.
Sliding or hinged doors, which should I choose?
Hinged doors give full access to the interior and cost less; sliding doors save the swing space in front of the wardrobe. In narrow bedrooms sliding usually wins; where space allows, hinged is the more practical choice.
Can you build around sloped ceilings and niches?
Yes, that is where custom building makes the most sense. We measure the angles on site and build the carcass to follow them, so the awkward corner becomes the most efficient storage in the room.
How deep does a wardrobe need to be?
For hanging clothes on a standard rail you need around 60 cm of internal depth; shelves-only sections can be shallower. If your space cannot give 60 cm, we plan pull-out rails that hang clothes front-to-back instead.
Do you organize the interior too?
Yes. Rails, shelves, drawers, trouser pull-outs, and shoe racks are agreed with you before we build, and the interior is divided based on what you own, not a generic template.
