What decides the price in Dublin

What that means for your wardrobe
- Apartments. 27.1% of Dublin households live in a flat or apartment. In a narrow bedroom a hinged door may not open past the bed; sliding doors need no room to open. Check with the management company before anything is fixed to a party wall. Sliding wardrobes.
- Renting. 24.1% of Dublin households rent privately, the highest share of 26 counties. Under section 16 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 a tenant needs the landlord's written consent to alter the home. A flat-pack system fitted wall to wall is easier to take with you. PAX as a built-in.
- New homes. 13,681 new homes were finished in Dublin in 2025. In a new house, measure once the floor is down: the wardrobe stands on the finished floor, and the skirting and sockets decide where it starts. Sizes and measuring.
- Older houses. 15.3% of Dublin homes were built before 1946. Older bedrooms often have a chimney breast with an alcove either side, and walls that aren't true. Measure each alcove at three heights: they're rarely the same width. Bespoke wardrobes.

Do you cover Dublin, Swords and Balbriggan?
Yes. We pass your request to one fitted wardrobe company that covers Dublin, towns and countryside. They come to you to measure.
Can I get a built-in wardrobe in a rented home in Dublin?
Only with the landlord's written consent, which the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 requires for any alteration. Ask first, in writing.
What wardrobe suits an apartment bedroom?
Sliding doors, floor to ceiling. They need no room to open, and a full-height mirror door makes a small room look bigger.
When should I measure for a wardrobe in a new house?
After the floor finish is down and the skirting is on. The wardrobe stands on the finished floor.
Can you fit wardrobes into alcoves?
Yes. Each alcove is measured at three heights and the wardrobe is made to it, or sliding doors close it off with no carcass.
