Built for Antibes apartments, from Carré d'Or to Cimiez
Most Niçois apartments in buildings along Rue de France or in Belle Époque blocks near Place Garibaldi were never designed with storage in mind, often leaving awkward alcoves, sloped ceilings under the roofline, or narrow corridors. Our network of carpenters specializes in measuring these irregular spaces precisely and building bespoke dressing units that use every centimeter, whether it's a 2m² corner in a 30m² studio near the port or a full walk-in off a bedroom in Fabron.
Pricing for fitted wardrobes and walk-in dressings
A simple fitted wardrobe with sliding doors typically runs €800 to €1800 per linear meter depending on finish, while a full custom walk-in dressing room with lighting, drawers and shoe racks ranges from €3000 to €8000. Lacquered or veneered oak fronts cost more than melamine but resist the coastal humidity better over time. Every quote from BuildHelp carpenters breaks down materials, hardware and labor so there are no surprises once work starts.
Materials that handle the sea air
Salt humidity along the Promenade des Anglais and in older buildings without double glazing can warp cheap particleboard over a few seasons. Local carpenters favor moisture-resistant MDF cores, solid oak or sealed birch plywood, paired with soft-close hinges and anti-rust runners. For bathrooms converted into dressing corners, a technique common in Riviera rénovation projects, ventilated panel backs are added to prevent condensation buildup behind the units.

FAQ: Dressing Rooms and Closets in Antibes
Simple fitted wardrobes start around €800 to €1800 per linear meter, while a full walk-in dressing room with lighting and accessories typically costs €3000 to €8000. Final price depends on materials chosen, such as lacquered fronts versus melamine, and whether electrical work for lighting is included.
Most standard closet installations take one to two days once materials arrive, while a custom walk-in dressing room can take three to five days including fitting drawers and lighting. Lead time for ordering materials usually adds two to three weeks before the installation date.
Yes, this is one of the most common requests in neighborhoods like Vieux Antibes and Cimiez where sloped ceilings and odd alcoves are standard. Carpenters take precise on-site measurements and often build a 3D mockup before cutting any material, ensuring the final unit fits the exact space.
If the work stays entirely inside your private unit and doesn't touch shared walls or the building's exterior, you generally don't need copropriété approval. However, if you're removing a non-load-bearing wall to create space, it's worth checking your building's règlement first, and your carpenter can advise on this during the quote visit.
