In Australian English, a built-in wardrobe or closet designed for hanging clothes and storing personal items is commonly referred to as a 'built-in cupboard' or simply as a 'robe' (which is short for wardrobe). While North Americans use the term 'closet' for almost all walk-in or reach-in storage spaces, Australians will frequently ask about the size of the 'robes' in a bedroom or refer to a walk-in wardrobe as a 'walk-in robe', representing a distinct vocabulary difference in Australian housing terminology.
