There’s no doubt about it, investing in a fitted wardrobe is worth every penny and should be at the top of your list when it comes to refurbishing your home.
Notwithstanding the obvious storage benefits, it’s enormously rewarding to be able to commission something that is guaranteed to meet your exact specifications in every way. And whether you’re installing one in your bedroom, hallway, living area or study, you can have them made to do exactly what their description states – fit.
Here are 7 benefits of fitted wardrobes that will inspire you.
1. Made to measure
Whether you want extra hanging space, bespoke partitions, accessory drawers or a to-die-for shoe rack, it’s achievable! So measure-up and get it done.
Before you measure up, take a look at available styles. There’s a wonderful range of designer wardrobes at FCI London that you can explore.
- Large wardrobes: Usually for bigger areas, they have ample room for cool installations that will help make your life easier. Think hanging rails, laundry baskets and designer shoe racks.
- Corner wardrobes: Fill those awkward nooks with a custom corner wardrobe and see how easy it is to redefine your room. They can be used to create divisions, seal up unwanted alcoves or just optimise space.
- Built-in wardrobes: Made to fit using existing walls in your home, this wardrobe style is permanently installed and can be fitted with all the bells and whistles to boot.
- Walk in wardrobes: The ultimate in opulence, get a little Hollywood glam with a wardrobe that you can walk around in. Add a sitting area, soft carpet, dressing room and a heap of other innovations and you may never leave it.
- Sliding door wardrobes: For compact areas with limited space, these units are perfect and can make any room look double its size if fitted with mirror doors.
2. Optimal storage
Because you can build them to fit your space to a tee, any unused areas in your home can be converted into clever storage solutions in a flash.
3. Custom trimmings
All fitted wardrobes are built from scratch and can be kitted out with little extras designed to suit your style. From floor to ceiling mirrors to elegant handles and designer finishes, dream it and you can have it!
4. Bespoke lighting
Shop-bought wardrobes will largely leave you floundering in the dark. But custom-design one and you’ll have the option to include lighting in all the right places ensuring that, even in the dead of night, you’ll find what you’re looking for.
5. Easy maintenance
If your wardrobe is built from floor to ceiling, then dusting the tops will become an obsolete endeavour. And with doors that give you easy access, you won’t have to wrestle your way to the top shelves either. They’re also much more durable than their readymade counterparts.
6. Budget up a storm
Made to spec, you’ll be able to budget in all your must-haves and do away with what you don’t need. So wasting money will be a thing of the past.
7. Added value
Wardrobe space is always a bit of a sore point when it comes to house hunting, so any storage installations will be of great value to future buyers if you ever decide to sell.
These 7 benefits of fitted wardrobes should inspire you to begin your bespoke designer wardrobe journey.
