Three Advantages of a Fitted Wardrobe

We know people (if you are one of them, sorry) who spend a whole bunch of money to get their new hair style. We can laugh at them if they spend all of their funds and leave nothing to buy food and drinks, what to say about showing it off in city club. Nevertheless, it may seem foolish only from the first view as they make a statement that your hair is with you every day, as opposed to a favourite dress or pair of jeans that you only wear once every couple of weeks, if not less.

This philosophy can also be applied to getting a fitted wardrobe in your bedroom, as opposed to a cheap, free-standing wardrobe; you will use this wardrobe everyday, so it is well worth getting the right one and sparing no expense on it!

Just to convince you of why you should go for a fitted wardrobe as opposed to a free-standing one, this article will provide three key advantages to getting a fitted wardrobe, leaving you no doubt as to what the right choice is for you to make.

A fitted wardrobe can complement an already well-furnished room by blending in with its décor, or can become a key feature in a more sparse room, providing a colour and texture style for the rest of the furniture to follow.

Additionally, the fact that you can choose and alter the different styles of doors for your fitted wardrobe means that you have an infinite amount of options at your fingertips, every time that you wish to alter the look of your room, meaning that you aren’t tied down to one style being dictated by your free-standing wardrobe for eternity!

Finally, when you do choose to get a fitted wardrobe, due to the fact that you can choose the style and shape of the fitted wardrobe, then you can design your wardrobe to fit in exactly with whatever look you want from the start; you will get a wardrobe that suits your needs and possessions exactly.

So. if you are convinced by all of this, then check out some of the generous offers that some of the online companies are making available to the customers that utilise their services through their website. Don’t forget, you will be using your wardrobe everyday, so make sure that you make the right choice, as changing it isn’t as easy as just shaving your head!

Alcove Units and Fitted Wardrobes

Fitted on either side of a chimney breast, alcove units add a classic and stylish look to any living room.

Typically, these units feature a bookcase, either with or without doors, above a low cupboard or cabinet. The main benefit of fitted alcove units is that they provide valuable storage space in a recessed part of the room, so they don’t get in the way.

A TV can either stand on top of the cabinet or be concealed within it. The base cupboard of the alcove unit can conceal all the electronic boxes that accompany a TV or sound systems, or it can provide storage for plates and crockery.

Alcove units come in many designs and finishes from classic traditional to modern. The traditional Victorian style has mouldings, fluted columns and recessed panel doors.

Traditional options also include a cornice top, side columns, fixed or adjustable shelves, mouldings and recessed panel doors with or without mouldings or flat doors with planted mouldings, usually a small recessed plinth or skirting.

Contemporary or modern style units might have plain doors with touch catches and ‘floating’ shelves with invisible fixings. The finishes can be spray painted, hand painted or natural wood, oiled, lacquered or French Polished. Any alcove unit can be delivered ‘raw’ for your own painter or French Polisher to finish if you so prefer.

Our natural wood finishes include Oak, Mahogany, Beech, Maple, Walnut, Cherry and others to order. These can either be oiled to a light satin finish or lacquered with a highly durable satin or gloss surface.

Paint options include hand-painting for an eggshell satin finish or spraying for a perfectly smooth satin or gloss result.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the design options for attractive bespoke alcove units for your home.

Why Choose a Wardrobe Not Meeting Your Needs?

Fitted wardrobes can help you optimize the space in your bedroom as they can be custom-made to suit your requirements. This means they can make use of wasted space in corners or difficult areas where a stand-alone wardrobe or chest of drawers cannot fit.

You can decide how wide, tall or deep you want your wardrobe and you don’t have to spend days looking for one that fits.

We can custom build your wardrobe to fit your room exactly the way you want. And because you can design it yourself you can ensure the fitted cupboards and drawers are large enough to hold all your clothes and accessories.

Not having enough storage space can mean your bedroom always looks untidy and unorganised but with spacious bespoke wardrobes and shelving you can wake up each morning knowing that everything you want to wear is neatly organised.

Since 2002 we have tailor-made hundreds of high quality fitted wardrobes to help our customers make the most of their bedroom space.

We also make every size and type of fitted bedroom furniture in a wide range of traditional and contemporary designs. Dressing tables, Bedside cabinets and high-level cupboards can easily be added as required.

Our wardrobes also have enclosed backs and sides to ensure your clothes are fully protected. The wardrobes are built with a small gap between the wall and the cupboard so that damp or condensation in the wall does not get transferred into the wardrobe, which aviods the damp musty smells and mould found in some bedroom furniture.

When you have well-designed fitted wardrobes you can be sure that your clothes, shoes and accessories are stored neatly and efficiently allowing you to keep your room tidy. Cleaning with the vacuum will no longer be a chore.

We can either supply your bedroom furniture in a natural wood finish (oak, walnut, cherry, maple, beech, mahogany, and many others) or in a painted finish. Hand-painting will give a very traditional look while spray-painting in either matt or gloss sheen will give a sleek contemporary look.

Whatever your requirements, we can come up with the designs and finish that will help make your fitted bedroom comfortable and inviting.
