Whether you are planning a significant refurbishment of your home or have just bought a new house and want to make the most of the space, a bespoke fitted wardrobe made using our online design tools could be the perfect solution for you.
With scope to alter the dimensions, the finish, the handles and even the internal configuration of the wardrobes, you can get the right furniture for your needs, regardless of whether you need extra space for jewellery, full-size dresses or even room for a wardrobe office.
The number of wardrobe options in the market can be overwhelming, but there are five main features you need to think about in order to choose the best one for your needs:
- High Quality Materials
- Easy Building Process
- The Right Space
- The Right Internal Features
- The Right Finish
Why these five features? These are the core elements universal to every great wardrobe, but to explain why, it is worth going through each factor, explaining why it matters and how you can choose the right wardrobe for you.
Why Do High Quality Materials Matter With Bespoke Wardrobes?
Wardrobes need to last; even compared to other pieces of furniture, wardrobes tend to be built, placed in a room and then largely left in place.
If they are built correctly, with high-quality wood, strong hinges that resist wear and tear, elegant door handles and drawer rollers built to withstand thousands of pulls and pushes, wardrobes can last an extraordinarily long time.
This is even more important with fitted wardrobes; once they are constructed, the only way to move them is to dismantle them, so they need to be built in a way that will ensure they endure for as long as you plan to live there.
Our bespoke wardrobe design service allows you to get the best possible wardrobe designs at the best prices by passing on the savings gained through reduced building costs to you.
Does The Building Process Matter With Bespoke Wardrobes?
Whilst you can get some particularly bulky pre-built wardrobes and some custom furniture services will build your fitted furniture on site, the standard approach for building furniture remains the versatile flat pack.
We opt for flat pack construction in order to give you the best wardrobes at the best prices; assembling a furniture kit saves you money, as you have the option of building it yourself or paying someone to assemble it for you.
However, not all flat packs are constructed equally, and many of us have had an experience where a furniture kit has not quite fit right or has featured confusing instructions.
It is why we prioritise how we design our kits and ensure that you are equipped with easy-to-understand instructions that allow anyone who feels confident enough with DIY to assemble furniture to build it.
How Do You Choose The Right-Sized Wardrobe For You?
Most flat pack wardrobes are freestanding and of a standard size. Whilst this makes them easier to make, it also means that you lose a huge amount of space through the bulky frame needed to keep it upright and wasted space.
A fitted wardrobe allows you to maximise the amount of space available, and allows you to customise the different components and elements to ensure that every piece suits your needs.
Ultimately, outside of ensuring that the wardrobe fits the space, there is no exact science for choosing wardrobe sizes, but the most important step to ensuring your wardrobe is built to last is to seriously consider what your clothing needs are now and in the future.
If you have a lot of dresses, you need to ensure you have hanger space for all of them, there should be space for everyone using the wardrobe, and if you have a wardrobe dedicated to work clothes, you should factor in whether your job and, therefore, your clothing needs will change.
Which Internal Features Do You Need In Your Wardrobe?
Similarly, in terms of size, it is worth considering what kind of internal configuration would work best for your wardrobe, and you thankfully have a lot of options in that regard.
If you have a large shoe or sneaker collection, for example, you may need additional shelves or racks to make them easy to store, display and put away.
How Do You Choose The Right Finish For Your Wardrobe?
Your finish is ultimately a matter of personal preference, but it is important to have a lot of options when it comes to colour schemes, as your wardrobe will act as an accent wall and should therefore either complement or contrast the rest of your room’s interior design.
