A compact, well-established suburb around Forest Hill Chase, Forest Hill's brick veneer homes are a familiar fit for Brodco's custom wardrobe work.
Forest Hill is a smaller, tightly held suburb centred on Forest Hill Chase shopping centre, with brick veneer homes from the 1960s and 70s making up most of the housing. Many owners have been in their homes for decades, and original bedroom wardrobes from that era are a common reason people call us.
Because the suburb didn't see the same wave of unit development as some of its neighbours, most of our Forest Hill jobs are straightforward house wardrobe upgrades, which lets us focus the quote and design conversation on getting the internal layout right for how the household actually uses the space.

Yes, we can design and build a new in-room wardrobe and, if you'd like, help you repurpose the old alcove space for something else.
Most original Forest Hill wardrobes from the 1960s and 70s are better replaced than repaired, since the frames, hinges and internal layout are usually all due for an upgrade.

The shopping centre and surrounding streets are the suburb's hub, with residential streets radiating out in a fairly consistent 1960s-70s brick veneer style.
Blackburn, Vermont, Burwood, Nunawading are on our regular run too, right next door.
The typical original Forest Hill wardrobe is a hinged timber-door unit with a single shelf and rail, built for a much smaller amount of clothing than most households now have. We also see a number of homes where a wardrobe was added in a hallway alcove rather than the bedroom itself, which rarely works as well as a properly fitted in-room wardrobe.
Most Forest Hill main bedrooms are a comfortable size but not oversized, so a walk-in wardrobe conversion needs to be assessed room by room rather than assumed. For the majority of homes we visit, a well-designed built-in wardrobe delivers the storage households need without the compromise of losing floor space to a walk-in enclosure.
