Wardrobe wrapping
Wardrobe wrapping re-covers fitted, sliding and freestanding wardrobe doors in architectural vinyl film, giving a bedroom a new look without replacing the wardrobes. KWrap wraps wardrobes across London and the South East in wood, matt, soft-touch and textured finishes, keeping your existing doors, runners and storage.
BeforeWhy wrap wardrobes instead of replacing them?
Fitted wardrobes are built to the room, so replacing them means removing the old units, making good the walls and floor, and fitting new ones to measure. Wardrobe wrapping keeps the carcasses, rails, shelves and sliding gear you already have and changes only the finish of the doors and visible panels, which is why the job is quicker, quieter and far less disruptive.
Which wardrobes can be wrapped?
Most wardrobe doors made from MDF, chipboard, laminate or painted timber can be wrapped. Sliding wardrobe doors can usually be wrapped too, including the frames and the infill panels, while mirror and glass panels are left as they are.
Freestanding wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside tables can be wrapped to match, so the whole bedroom has one finish. See furniture wrapping for more on individual pieces.
Popular wardrobe finishes
- Light oak and ash wood grains, for a calm, natural bedroom.
- Soft-touch matt in warm white, taupe, sage or deep green, for a painted look that is smooth to the touch.
- Textured fabric and leather-effect films, for a hotel-style finish.
- Dark walnut, for a richer, more traditional room.

Why homeowners and businesses choose KWrap
Wrapping is the whole job
KWrap is a vinyl wrapping specialist for kitchens, homes and commercial interiors. Specialism matters because a wrap is judged at its edges and corners, where film has to be heated, stretched and sealed by hand.
Days, not weeks
Most kitchens are wrapped in a day or two, because nothing is ripped out and nothing new has to be made to measure. Your existing units, plumbing and appliances stay exactly where they are.
No rip-out, no mess
Wrapping goes over what you already have, so there is no demolition, no skip on the drive and no weeks of eating takeaways while a kitchen is refitted.
Real samples, in your light
You choose from physical film samples held against your own walls, floor and worktops, because a finish on a phone screen never looks the same as film in your room.
Wardrobe wrapping: your questions answered
How much does wardrobe wrapping cost?
Wardrobe wrapping costs depend on the number of doors and panels, whether the doors are hinged or sliding, the condition of the surfaces and the film you choose. Wrapping costs much less than new fitted wardrobes because the carcasses and storage stay in place. Send photos on WhatsApp or call 07904 099566 for a quote.
Can you wrap sliding wardrobe doors?
Yes. Sliding wardrobe doors can be wrapped, including the frames and the infill panels. The doors are usually lifted off their runners to be wrapped, then refitted and adjusted.
Can you wrap mirrored wardrobe doors?
The frames around mirrored sliding wardrobe doors can be wrapped. The mirror glass itself is usually left uncovered so it still works as a mirror.
How long does wardrobe wrapping take?
The time wardrobe wrapping takes depends on the number of doors and panels and how much preparation they need. KWrap confirms the timescale when it quotes.
Can you match my wardrobes to my bedside tables?
Yes. Bedside tables, chests of drawers and dressing tables can be wrapped in the same film as the wardrobes, so the whole bedroom has one finish.
