How to choose a fitted wardrobe
The right fitted wardrobe will add more space and make your room and lifestyle more comfortable.

Having trouble finding enough storage in your bedroom? Youre not alone. Across the UK, wardrobes are bursting at the seams with clothes, shoes, and whatever else we can cram in. Standing wardrobes cause problems because they don't make the most of space or have the flexibility to be customized.

Integrate built-in wardrobes into your bedroom to increase storage. Compared to traditional doors, they create three times more space and are available in many sizes and finishes.



Youll get more space
You can just imagine how much dust and knickknacks accumulate in these gaps. The height of fitted wardrobes can, however, be tailored to fit the maximum height of the room. Fitted wardrobes can make the most awkward-shaped bedroom into a functioning home for furnishings.

Youre making an investment
Now for the bad news. Unlike freestanding wardrobes, a fitted wardrobe cannot be moved from one home to another. Matthew Nagel, the director at Neatsmith, says there is a silver lining. Storage is always recouped when you sell your home because of the premium buyers place on it, especially in London homes, he explains.

Choose from all budget levels
Offering fitted wardrobes at a variety of price points, there are numerous companies offering them. Retailers such as Homebase and B&Q range from mass-market retailers to furniture-fitting companies like Neville Johnson.

Custom made wardrobes can enhance the look and feel of your home if your budget allows it. The benefit of this is that you won't have to modify your ideas to fit a generic solution.

Recommendations yield the best results
Regardless of where you buy your fitted wardrobes, always ask your friends and family for recommendations. Visit showrooms to see and feel the quality of products, and read online reviews as well. To narrow down your choices, visit at least three companies, and do not hesitate to ask what they have to offer.

Whether you choose a local carpenter or a bespoke furniture company, you should ask to see a portfolio. When visiting previous projects, speak to the homeowner about the company, its service, and how problems were addressed.

Future proofing keeps the look fresh
Select a company that will oversee your project from start to finish and help with design and installation. It can also prevent costly mistakes and stress.

Given the long-term nature of fitted wardrobes, you need to select an option that will still fit your personal style in the future. Rachel Hutcheson of Sharps recommends you set the colour scheme of your room before adding different furniture pieces.


Doors make a difference
Choose wardrobe doors based on your bedroom's size, shape, and personal preference. Choose sliding or bi-fold doors if your space is limited so they don't require much space for opening.

In addition to creating the illusion of a larger room, mirror doors provide a full-length mirror without taking up valuable floorspace.


Prep is key
To begin your project of a fitted wardrobe, you should take some measurements. To begin, determine the height of the ceiling at both ends and the center of the room. It can be seen if you need to adjust the wardrobe if the ceiling is sagging.

Check to see if the floor is level. Another piece of needed information is that fitted furniture can now be designed to fit exactly the dimensions of the room or to fit variations in the floor level, says Simon Bodsworth, managing director of Daval. You should install your wardrobes onto a hard floor when it comes to the surface material. A wardrobe fitted on carpet may drop over time because of carpet settlement, and this will undoubtedly ruin its once-perfect finish.


Measured to order means exactly that
What kind of coving and skirting is in the room? Please provide the dimensions of any fixed details that are protruding. They will alter how your wardrobe's back is made, so must be accounted for for a flush finish.

Before installation, should any electrical plugs be moved? If changing outlets is not a possibility, then custom fitted furniture can conceal unsightly wires, cables and controls for integral lighting as well as maintain access. Just make sure these requirements are mentioned during the concept phase, says Simon.


Prepare the room first
Since our wardrobes come without backs and sides by default, if you're going to redecorate the walls, you might want to do that before installation, since these walls will be visible when the doors are open. Our customers are also asked to remove all furniture from their bedroom prior to installation, and if a carpet has been installed, we ask that it be rolled back where the wardrobes will be installed.


Choose interior options that suit your lifestyle
Your wardrobe must be as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Consider a company that offers a variety of storage options tailored to your specific needs.


Consider hanging Fitted Luxury Wardrobes , shoe racks, and pull-out shelving to suit your storage needs. Media devices and integral lighting are also offered by some companies.
