There are many reasons to have a bespoke fitted wardrobe installed in your home. The simplest one is that it offers an attractive alternative to a free-standing wardrobe, usually providing more space (and more efficient use of space) as well as a stylish, modern design.
All of this could be true even if you simply see a style of fitted wardrobe advertised and have it installed in your home. A bespoke version can go further by taking into account factors like otherwise awkward little nooks, crannies and curves in the wall.
However, to create your own wardrobe using our design tool means you can take things to the next level, indulging your creativity and finding solutions to tricky problems.
Some things might be desirable features without being especially quirky:
· Asymmetry to take advantage of an unusually shaped room
· Extra height because you have an unusually high ceiling
· Additional depth in certain places to make use of extra space, like an alcove
· The use of folding internal doors, hanging rails and hidden compartments to maximise limited space in small rooms
However, for true originality, you could go for ideas that give your wardrobe a different look, one that makes it stand out from the norm.
· The use of open shelving in some places to make things easier to find, while closed drawers keep things that should be concealed safely hidden from prying eyes
· Have things that can slide or fold out, such as a dressing table or desk top
· An open wardrobe that adds to a sense of space in a large bedroom
· Curved shapes rather than straight lines everywhere
· Built-in features like internal lighting
Apart from these variations, you can have a lot of fun with combinations of colours. For example, we offer a wide choice of differing internal and external tones, with a choice of 14 external colours and seven internal designs.
This means you can either match up the internal and external colours, or go for something different on the inside to the outside.
Similarly, you could choose from different door designs in our range, such as the two-panel Santana, the Cairo with its three panels or the four-panel Eclipse.
You also have a choice of different finishing touches, with various designs of handle or knob to put on the door, so whether you want something that looks like crystal with facets, or a bit of shiny brass, we can supply it.
The key is that you can blend all of these different elements of size, colour, door style and accessories with some extra touches to create a wardrobe that is nothing like anything you have seen in the shops and is just right both for your needs and your tastes.
Of course, there are limitations to what can be done and provided. For instance, you might be a Doctor Who fan, but we can’t make a wardrobe that’s bigger on the inside than the outside. Nor can it be a portal to Narnia. Otherwise, you can get really creative.
The great thing about our tool is that using it is a bit like trying to draft a novel; you don’t have to go with the first draft, but instead you can make lots of amendments as you go along, or even start all over again if you prefer.
Indeed, this can be a good idea if you are using the design tool for the first time. Of course, the most tech-savvy will get the hang of it right away, while other people might take a little while to master it, but find that once they have, they are very comfortable using it.
Either way, the tool allows for lots of thought experiments and opportunities to compare different ideas, so you can explore different possibilities. Along the way, you may get some new ideas.
Indeed, because of this, the tool may not just be a way of bringing existing ideas to life, but of helping you come up with new ones that you had not previously thought of.
The business of choosing a wardrobe will always begin with a series of essentials, such as height, depth, style and how it will fit with the existing furniture. That is as true for a fitted wardrobe as it is for a free-standing one.
However, with a fitted wardrobe you can ensure its shape, style and other specifications not only suit the room it will be in, but also include some variations that reflect your own ideas and include some individual quirks.
