The Benefits of Fitted Wardrobes

Maximising the space of the room

One of the key benefits of fitted wardrobes is that they are made completely bespoke to your needs. Unlike freestanding wardrobes, this means you can create angled units that fit neatly in awkward spaces like under the stairs, in alcoves or in loft rooms. This helps to utilise unused space, whilst simultaneously maximising the space of the room through not having a protruding freestanding unit.

Internal design & functionality

As discussed extensively in our article on bespoke wardrobe interiors, there are almost infinite options for you to create a bespoke wardrobe that is perfectly suited to your lifestyle. From storage, to hanging, to shelving, to lighting, it’s possible to create a unit that offers both luxury design and utility. Rather than having a bulky freestanding wardrobe and separate chests of drawers, you can combine all of them into a beautiful and highly functional single fitted unit.

Bespoke exteriors

As with interiors, the choices available to you for your exterior design are equally limitless. Whether you’d prefer a classic shaker style wardrobe, a contemporary design or something completely bold and unique – the choice is yours.

The key benefit here is that you can seamlessly match your units to your existing bedroom theme, or you can create a bold unit that stands out as the centrepiece of the room and adds a sense of character. Check out our gallery if you want some exterior inspiration!

Create the illusion of a larger room

If you want to create the illusion of having more space than you actually do, a floor to ceiling fitted unit will do the trick. A unit that fits tightly between the floor and the ceiling creates the illusion of having higher ceilings than you actually do, whilst also maximising floor space. Another great illusory option is to include mirrored doors or mirrored panels in your fitted wardrobe design, which reflect light around the room and create an enhanced sense of space.

Quality of Materials

Many freestanding wardrobes are created out of cheap MDF materials, which regularly do not stand the test of time. If you opt to use a reputable fitted wardrobe company, like ourselves, they will use real wood and high-quality fittings. We only ever use high quality BLUM fittings and all of our units come with a 5-year guarantee, so you have complete peace of mind.

Long Term Value

Last but not certainly not least – fitted wardrobes are known to add value to your home when you come to sell. Storage space and wardrobe space are very high up on the list of house hunters, especially in cities where space comes at a premium. Therefore, not only do you get to take advantage of the huge range of benefits of a fitted unit, you can also think of it as an investment for the future!
