5 things you need to know about fitted wardrobes

If, like most of us, you're looking for a little more storage in the bedroom, it's worth opening up the benefits of fitted wardrobes.

As the name suggests, fitted wardrobes are designed specifically to suit your bedroom's unique shape and size. They can even fit into awkward spaces, making the most of every inch and eliminating the unsightly gaps that come with freestanding furniture.

Opting for bespoke wardrobes gives you the freedom to choose every detail – from the storage solutions you need to the design elements that match your style. Plus, investing in fitted wardrobes can add value to your home, making them a smart choice for long-term home improvement.

Here are five things to consider before taking the plunge on fitted storage:

1. Awkward space is still space

It can be hard to see the potential in a room you've lived in for a while, but don't let awkward angles or sloping ceilings hold you back. Fitted wardrobes are designed to fit perfectly into your room, no matter the shape or size.

From low ceilings to tricky corners, fitted furniture utilises every inch of available space. If your room is tight on space, wall-to-wall sliding wardrobes are a great option, offering seamless storage without taking up too much room.

2. Understand your storage needs

Before you plan your new fitted wardrobe, take a closer look at your belongings. Understanding exactly what you need to store will help you create the ideal storage system.

For example, if you have a lot of shoes, a pull-out shoe rack could be a great space-saver. If you love accessories, a personalised jewellery tray fits neatly in your drawers and keeps everything organised.

Clever storage solutions are all about making your life easier – so get creative with your ideas.

3. Find the right design

When it comes to fitted storage, we are just as passionate about the form as we are the function. Wardrobes are a key feature in any bedroom, and they should reflect your personal taste and interior style.

With fitted wardrobes, you have complete control over design details. Start by considering your existing décor to determine the style of your room. If you prefer a modern look, consider high-gloss or mirrored surfaces. If you want something warmer and more inviting, natural wood finishes can add that cosy touch.

4. Choose the right interior

Fitted wardrobes should be as impressive on the inside as they are on the outside. Our wardrobe interiors maximise your space and can be customised to your exact storage needs.

5. Plan for the future

Fitted wardrobes are a long-term investment. Not only will they transform your bedroom, but they can also add value to your home.
