Fusion Robes

Fusion Robes, bespoke wardrobe makers in Belfast

Fusion Robes is an independent wardrobe manufacturer and installer based on Castlereagh Road in Belfast. The company designs, makes and fits custom wardrobes and storage for homes, working from its own showroom and sending its own team through design, measurement and installation. Its presentation describes it as Belfast's leading independent wardrobe maker and states that its wardrobes are designed and made in Belfast and fitted and installed beyond the city.

The business was founded in 2013 by Marcus and Sharon, a married couple who run it jointly. Marcus completed a cabinet apprenticeship after leaving school and later worked in component design within the furniture industry after moving from Monaghan to Belfast. Sharon has a background in art and design, a degree in 3D design and more than twenty years' experience as a sliding wardrobe design engineer. The company frames that combined manufacturing and design background as the basis for building non-standard designs and finding custom solutions for individual homes.

Wardrobe ranges

The core offer is organised into three product types, each customised to the customer's space and preferences:

• Sliding wardrobes: space-saving storage with doors described as smooth and quiet in operation, available in a range of customisable finishes and interiors.
• Fitted wardrobes: built to fit the available space, with details personalised from style and colour to integrated lighting and shelving.
• Walk-in wardrobes: larger layouts with extensive customisation for organising clothes and accessories in an accessible arrangement.

Alongside these, the company promotes a separate range called The Simple Range, a line of fitted wardrobes that customers can design and customise online. At the time of writing this profile, the site advertised 20% off the new collection of that range.

Design process and customisation

Fusion Robes presents its design service as free and personalised, with designers accompanying the customer from the initial design through measurement to installation. The company states that it takes precise measurements and adapts the wardrobe to the space regardless of the layout's difficulty, and that it can accommodate unusual requirements in dimensions and design.

Customisation extends to colours, with a wide range offered to match a room's decor, and to interior accessories. The catalogue of accessories includes pull-out shoe racks, tie holders, jewellery trays and integrated lighting. The company positions this as an alternative to flat-pack furniture, storage boxes and metal rails, and as a way to avoid DIY installation.

Showroom and home consultations

The Belfast showroom is open to the public six days a week, and visitors can meet the design team there. The company recommends booking a showroom visit or a design appointment in advance so that staff are available, and offers a free design appointment that can be scheduled online by date and time. Street parking is available near the showroom.

For customers who prefer not to travel, Fusion Robes offers home consultations across Northern Ireland, subject to location. These are arranged on request after an initial phone conversation about the project, and the enquiry form asks for name, phone number, address, email and details of the project.

Reputation and reviews

The company's own description cites a rating of 4.9 stars on Google. The site also maintains a reviews section and a projects section documenting completed installations, and publishes an inspiration library covering wardrobe design trends, finishes and storage solutions.
