The benefits of fitted wardrobes

A custom built-in wardrobe is custom built for your room by taking measurements of even the most awkward spaces available, including around established features like eaves and fireplace hoods. Surprisingly, you can increase your storage space by 40-50% with a fitted robe instead of a generic stand-alone one. You can also add useful bespoke features like mirrors, bookshelves, safes, and even folding work tables to create a compact home office.

Another great benefit of built-in wardrobes is that you can make the most of your floor space and not let any area go to waste, whether it’s an attic room with sloping ceilings or an oddly shaped bedroom with lots of alcoves. However, fitted robes aren’t just for rooms with too many nooks and crannies. They also add a fantastic design touch to master bedrooms, guest bedrooms and even children’s bedrooms…

Types of custom cabinets

There are three types of bespoke cabinets available: sliding doors, bi-folding doors and pivot doors to exactly meet your needs. Wardrobe designs range from wall-to-wall executive suites to traditional two-door mirror-paneled robes and space-saving built-in wardrobes.

You can choose from a range of natural wood colors like brown, chocolate, caramel or pine, or go for bold statements like black and red geometric patterns or bold primary colors for kids’ bedrooms. With custom cabinets, the possibilities are limitless and you have the opportunity to create your own uniquely designed piece of furniture. Alternatively, if you don’t want to play creative cat, you can choose from a fabulous range of existing designs which are then made to order, giving you a great impression of what the final piece will look like.

The cost of fitted wardrobes

The beauty of custom-made furniture is that you can decide how big or small your built-in wardrobe will be, what materials to use, and even what kind of shelves, drawers, and mirrors to put inside. This means that the cost of built-in wardrobes can vary considerably, but you can generally expect to pay between £1,000 and £1,500 for a two-door built-in wardrobe (depending on size and specifications, internal design and materials used). Elaborate built-in wardrobe sets on a large scale can cost thousands of pounds.

Add value with built-in furniture

If you’re into home improvement, installing built-ins is a great way to add value to your home. A built-in wardrobe looks stunning, adds considerable character and functionality, and helps the room retain its aesthetic appeal for years to come. It is particularly in modern and bijou apartments where storage space is paramount. Clever use of space will always add value to your property.
