14 Things You Didn't Know About DOCA Wardrobe Designs

Deciding on a DOCA custom closet is a personal choice, as this is a wardrobe that will be going in the most private part of your home. When choosing DOCA, it is important that you feel confident and trust that your finished closet will be exactly what you want. Learning more about DOCA, the company behind the luxury wardrobes, will be helpful in securing your confidence in your decision. These 15 things you didn’t know about DOCA will convince you that DOCA is the best company for your custom closet.

1. Metal, Glass, and Wood

There are a variety of materials used when making a DOCA custom wardrobe. The most popular are wood, metal, and glass. However, you could also see stone, veneer, lacquer, and leather. Each of these materials is dutifully sourced to ensure only the highest quality is used in the DOCA wardrobes. When designing a custom DOCA closet, your project is only limited by your imagination, creativity, and budget. A single material like wood could be used for the entire closet design. However, a classic DOCA closet will have multiple materials. This elevates the design and gives the closets a luxurious look and feel.

2. 14 Finishes to Choose From

There are 14 finishes to choose from when designing your custom wardrobe. For many people, they choose one finish. However, you could choose more than one finish if you wish. Many of the finishes are in neutral colors, such as white, black, grey, or cream. However, there are also bold colors for a more unique wardrobe design. The primary place where the finish will be used is on the body of the wardrobe or closet. This would be the frame that supports a hanging rod. It is also used on the back panel, the shelves, and drawer fronts.

3. Solid and Durable Core

The core building materials for your closet are what give it strength and durability. To ensure that each closet is built to last, the core materials used measure 19 mm. This is almost an inch thick. As a result, the finished closet is strong and capable of supporting all of your clothing, shoes, and accessories.

4. Leading European Manufacturers

It isn’t enough for DOCA to design and build high-quality wardrobes. The team at DOCA routinely seeks out the highest quality and most innovative manufacturers across Europe. These suppliers produce specialty accessories and hardware that enhance the overall quality of a finished wardrobe. The team at DOCA understands that their specialty is luxury home designs. They let other people be the experts in their specialties. That way, homeowners can benefit from the collaboration of expertise coming together.

5. Responsibly Sourced Wood

Protecting the planet and the life on it is an important priority for DOCA. Because of this, it participates in programs that ensure the wood sourced comes from responsible forests. It holds a Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). Companies that participate in this program prioritize where they source wood from. The entire supply chain is tracked to ensure the chain of custody from the sustainably managed forest to the manufacturing facility. Forests participating in the program practice ethical, ecological, and socially responsible forestry.

The company also holds the ISO-9001 Quality Management Systems and ISO-14001 Environmental Management Systems certificates.

6. Multiple Opening Mechanisms

Have you thought about how the doors and drawers open in your closet? For many homeowners, this is hardware that is never given a second thought. However, for the team at DOCA, the hardware is a key component of a custom wardrobe design. There are multiple opening mechanisms in the DOCA catalog. This makes it possible for a closet design to have multiple opening mechanisms. Each specifically addresses a need or challenge.

7. 40 Years of Experience

Founded over 40 years ago, DOCA has been in the home design business for decades. During this time, DOCA has established itself as a preeminent fixture in the home design and remodeling industry. Throughout this time, the company has seen changes in trends. It has also found solutions for unique project challenges. This experience has motivated DOCA to curate the best of the best across Europe. That way, it is able to readily have an answer to future clients seeking assistance with their custom closet design.

8. Innovation Is Paramount

DOCA closets are impressive in their ability to remain relevant and on-trend for years to come. This makes them a solid investment for homeowners looking to maximize the ROI on their custom closet remodel investment. The DOCA inventory is continually updated with innovative and trending materials, finishes, accessories, and hardware. Even the inventory of doors gets updated at least once a year. By having the latest innovations, homeowners can have a closet that features ever more functional designs. For example, this could be a more durable finish. Or it could be drawer hardware that easily opens and soft closes.

In addition to sourcing innovative products, DOCA also invests in its own manufacturing facility. It routinely updates and replaces its manufacturing equipment and machines with newer ones. Not only does this improve the manufacturing process, but it also improves the company’s ecological efforts. Replacing outdated machinery with environmentally friendly replacements reduces DOCA’s carbon footprint.

9. Multiple Drawer Types

There are five different drawer types in the DOCA wardrobe catalog. This is to ensure that there is a drawer design that addresses any challenge or need. A single closet design could require multiple drawer types. The design team at Divine Design Center is familiar with these five drawer types. This enables them to create a custom closet design that perfectly fits a client’s closet space. For example, your closet could have deep drawers for storing large items like linens and bulky sweaters. Medium-depth drawers can hold folded clothes, underwear, hats, or socks. Shallow trays are perfect for holding accessories and jewelry.

10. Over 100 Accessories

What makes DOCA closets stand out is the details. There are over 100 accessories in the DOCA catalog. This creates the possibility for endless customization and enhancement. The accessories and details that a custom DOCA closet could have may be purely decorative or functional. For example, a closet could have decorative crown molding and trim to complement the molding and trim that is located in the rest of a traditional home’s architecture. It could also be organizational accessories that optimize the shallow tray drawers. These are perfect for creating organized storage of jewelry, accessories, sunglasses, watches, scarves, belts, and so much more.

11. Cultivated Partnerships

Because DOCA is based in Spain, this is not convenient or accessible for those living in other countries throughout the world. The company works with exclusive partners to enable homeowners from anywhere to have a custom DOCA closet. Divine Design Center in Boston is one of these exclusive partners. With a close relationship between these two companies, homeowners in and around the Boston area are able to design their custom DOCA closets with the assistance of local support. In addition, our talented designers maintain a close relationship with the team at DOCA to ensure they are informed of the latest innovations and developments.

12. New Manufacturing Facility

DOCA built a 20,000 m² square foot manufacturing facility and showroom in 2006. This massive facility holds state-of-the-art machinery. This gives the master craftsmen plenty of space to build each piece of the custom wardrobes that clients order. Attached to the manufacturing facility is a showroom. It features all of the best materials, finishes, hardware, and accessories that DOCA has to offer.

13. Beauty and Functionality

The DOCA philosophy is to create beautiful and functional wardrobes. The designs are not good enough to just look beautiful. They also need to be functional for the homeowner’s daily life. This commitment to looks and performance ensures that a DOCA closet will satisfy homeowners. Every detail of the closet is thought of, from the core materials to the hardware to the accessories that finish the design.

14. Three DOCA Showrooms

There are three DOCA showrooms located in Spain. Each one is elegantly outfitted with kitchens, living rooms, and wardrobes. This allows homeowners to walk through the rooms. The DOCA showrooms are located in Marbella, Barcelona, and Madrid. These showrooms are perfect for allowing people to experience a DOCA design in the real world. You can touch the materials, open the drawers and trays, and feel the door mechanisms work.

There is an alternative if you cannot fly to Spain to see a DOCA showroom in person. Divine Design Center has the largest lifestyle showroom in Boston, located on the beautiful waterfront. Our clients are able to take their time, deciding what they like and don’t like.
