A Journey of Bespoke As You Explore Exquisite Selection of Materials
At Schmalenbach, we believe that bespoke design begins with an exquisite material selection. Every texture, finish, and surface is carefully curated to ensure the perfect balance of visual harmony and tactile sophistication. And it is this deep attention to premium material choices that sets Schmalenbach apart in the world of tailored wardrobe design.
Whether you’re envisioning a statement walk-in closet or a seamlessly integrated storage solution, our selection of high-end materials ensures each design is uniquely yours. From rich wood veneers to sleek aluminium, each material is chosen for its aesthetic value, durability, and ability to contribute to a truly personalised interior experience.
Veneer
Veneer offers the beauty and individuality of natural wood in a refined, architectural form. At Schmalenbach, we select only the highest quality veneers to bring warmth, texture, and understated luxury to our wardrobe interiors.
This high-end material is ideal for those seeking custom materials that balance natural elegance with structural precision. Whether used across large panels in a walk-in closet or as a contrasting detail against other finishes, veneer plays a vital role in tailored design solutions that bring life and character into the home.
Matt and Gloss Lacquer
Lacquer finishes offer endless versatility in both tone and texture. Schmalenbach’s use of matt and gloss lacquer introduces depth and visual clarity to every bespoke design. Matt lacquer delivers a smooth, velvety surface ideal for minimalist interiors, while gloss lacquer offers a luminous, reflective quality that elevates the space with effortless sophistication.
These premium material choices are durable, low-maintenance, and designed to withstand everyday use. Ideal for wardrobe design that requires both beauty and practicality, our lacquer finishes allow you to create a walk-in closet that feels tailored to your personal aesthetic, with colour options that range from calming neutrals to bold statements.
Leather and Suede
There’s a quiet luxury in materials that invite touch, and few do this better than leather and suede. At Schmalenbach, we use these luxury materials to enrich the interiors of our wardrobes, introducing a layer of comfort and refinement that elevates the everyday. Whether lining drawers, cladding sliding panels, or finishing display compartments, these custom materials enhance the sensory experience of a walk-in closet.
Available in a palette of rich tones and subtle textures, leather and suede add softness and contrast to the harder lines of glass, metal, or lacquer. The versatility of leather and suede makes them essential elements in tailored design solutions, offering both aesthetic warmth and practical resilience.
Glass
Glass is a material that brings balance and clarity to bespoke interiors. At Schmalenbach, we incorporate glass into wardrobe design to introduce lightness, layering, and architectural finesse. Whether used for sliding doors, shelving, or illuminated display cases, glass allows clients to showcase their most treasured pieces while maintaining a sense of openness.
Our exquisite material selection includes options like smoked, frosted, or clear glass, each offering a distinct mood and function. When combined with other high-end materials, glass helps to create wardrobe designs that feel light, modern, and harmonious. It’s an ideal choice for clients seeking elegant visual flow within their walk-in closet or dressing space.
Aluminium
Aluminium embodies the sleek durability of modern design. Lightweight yet structurally strong, this high-end material is often used in our bespoke wardrobe frames, shelving systems, and architectural detailing. Its clean lines and contemporary finishes make it a natural complement to both warm wood tones and polished lacquers.
At Schmalenbach, aluminium is selected not only for its function but for its aesthetic adaptability, it also pairs beautifully with glass, veneer, and leather to create truly cohesive, tailored design solutions.
