Wardrobes are for far more than clothes, and our digital wardrobe designer will provide as many options as possible to ensure that your precisely planned furniture meets your exacting needs.
From trouser racks and shoe storage to built-in jewellery boxes, wardrobes can have as many features as you need them to, with the benefits of custom furniture but the easy construction of a flatpack kit.
However, some interior designers want to take a fitted wardrobe even further. There are no rules that say that a wardrobe can only be installed in a bedroom, after all.
From elaborate walk-in closets to integrated media rooms, here are some of the most creative ways you can use a fitted wardrobe in your home.
With more people working from home than ever before, finding a comfortable space to set up your laptop and work from home can be really difficult, and using a bed, sofa or dining room table is at best a stopgap solution.
The best way around this is to have an actual home office setup, but not everyone has the space in their house for one. However, a deep enough wardrobe can store a table, an office chair, and even shelving for work documents.
A fitted wardrobe even provides a privacy screen through the doors on either side, improving the aesthetics and ambience of important video calls and giving you enough aural and visual separation to make remote working a lot easier.
The best part of this is that the entire home office will fit in the space the wardrobe needs to function, so as long as the doors open fully, you can fit a desk, chair and all of your work amenities.
A fascinating aspect of the history of wardrobes is that the piece of furniture that originally held clothes did not look like a modern wardrobe in any way, and the piece of furniture that did had a very different purpose.
An armoire resembled a larger, more ornate wardrobe, but was initially used to store weapons before it became used as a multipurpose shelf to store anything valuable or interesting that itself acted as a statement piece.
However, a fitted wardrobe is sometimes the perfect size to build a home bar out of, which can be fitted into your living room and be used to entertain guests with an elegant style and fully furnished shelves.
As many home bars are drinks cabinets with a little more space to work, this is a very approachable modification, although it is always important to ensure that you maximise the functionality of the space you have available for mixing and fixing drinks.
Media rooms, games rooms or home cinemas have become increasingly popular in recent years, but a problem with screens, electronics and physical media is that they can often end up somewhat cluttered.
A great way to get around this is through the use of a set of fitted wardrobes, each of which is designed to have a set of shelves or drawers perfect for storing Blu-ray cases, games consoles, remotes, accessories, and peripherals.
Depending on the size of your TV, you may be able to get a fitted wardrobe large enough to mount the screen inside with plenty of room to spare.
All of this can help to avoid a cluttered look, as well as ensure that your media room can be used for multiple purposes. Perhaps one room can have a set of fitted wardrobes, each of which is designed to transform the room into a different purpose.
It is perhaps not surprising that a wardrobe with its myriad of shelving options and solutions is ideally suited to being turned into a bookcase. Some of the standard options we provide are essentially already ideally suited for book storage.
However, a really interesting idea to make this even better is to add a miniature beanbag or chair and a set of lights and turn the bottom part of the wardrobe into a little reading nook of your own.
It can sometimes be difficult to create a quiet space or establish a library, so this can serve as an ideal alternative solution that is filled with comforts that will enable you to enjoy some time to yourself, even in rooms that are typically designed to be busy and functional.
Exactly what you would furnish it with is up to you, as a deep enough and wide enough wardrobe can provide a lot more space than one might expect.
