Fitted living furniture styles for your space

Designed to match a room's layout, fitted furniture can be a real interior design saviour, particularly if you have a home with unusually shaped bedrooms, offices, living rooms and so on. You might be dealing with tight corners or sloping ceilings, for example. Custom-made fitted furniture ensures no space goes to waste.

Your living room helps to set the tone in a home, so make the most of its design, both functionally and aesthetically. Read on to see how you can create a bespoke set-up using considered fitted furniture styles for your living room.

What are the core fitted living furniture styles?

There are fitted living styles suitable for every home. If you live in a period building, you can tastefully modernise your storage without risking an incongruous outcome. Features like raised panels and moulding add all-important character to these spaces. At Hammonds, the Hatton is a great choice if this is what you're looking for.

If you prefer a contemporary look, go down a more minimalist route and strip everything back. Think clean lines and doors without conventional handles. The chic Linje offers a cool Scandinavian feel, while the Elkin offers a slightly different, yet sleek interpretation. 

For a classic yet contemporary option, you can choose a Shaker-style fitting, such as the Cliveden. It takes inspiration from 18th-century design, complete with distinctive handles. The calming, muted colour palette is extensive, so you can add your own take on this timeless style.

Want to add a touch of luxury? Metal-framed glass doors and open shelving mean you can display treasured items that enhance the look and feel of the space. The Langton and Croft offer their own unique takes on this, allowing you to exhibit ceramic sculptures, books, plants and other sentimental or picturesque items.

What are the best finishes for each style? 

You can choose from numerous fitted living finishes too, allowing for further customisation. Stick with a traditional painted wood effect, going as bold or muted as you like. Or try something more modern and choose black or white finished with a gloss or matt effect.

For something more timeless, you can opt for a wood effect with a neutral paint colour that creates warmth amongst your other furnishings.

Glass details, such as cabinets, can help to add depth to fitted living furniture styles. Add further elegance with muted shades that create an air of quiet luxury to complete the look.

Key things to consider when choosing 

Fitted furniture can help bring the wider room or home design together into something more cohesive. And the beauty of custom-made storage is that you can tailor it to your preferences.

While design is key, consider a fitted furniture style that embraces functionality. Go for a bespoke design that suits your storage preferences – that might involve concealing unsightly items or embracing them with an open display. Alternatively, you might want a combination of both.

Nailing the configuration of fitted furniture styles means you can enhance the visuals while ensuring ease of use. This is why it's helpful to consult experts. Someone with experience can advise you on specific details that bring units to life.

And finally, the finish (the amount of colour and shine you add) can make a huge difference, helping you tone down or intensify the outcome.
