There are clients who visit our showroom and ask: are built-in wardrobes a good investment for a bedroom? We take this as a great opportunity to take them through the wonderful world of wardrobes - a world we are obsessed with!

Closets in all corners of the UK are bursting with clothing, accessories and whatever else homeowners can stuff into them. So if you are on the hunt for more storage, you are not alone.

The most straightforward, effective and stylish way to solve your problem is to have built-in wardrobes installed. Our bespoke fitted wardrobes will instantly create more space - at least three times more - and you can customise it to any size, design and price.

1. What are the benefits of having a built-in wardrobe in your bedroom

The benefits of having a fitted wardrobe are endless. For one, you will get more space, which helps you better organise your apparel and linen. Finding your clothes in the morning becomes a breeze and your special garments will be well preserved - free from creasing.

Freestanding wardrobes will leave gaps above and to the side that become dust and dirt traps, not to mention that it is a waste of valuable space.

On the other hand, no matter how awkwardly shaped your bedroom is, bespoke builds can turn even the tightest corner into a working wardrobe.

Custom-fitted wardrobes also allow you to design both the inner storage system and the outer aesthetics to your needs and design choice. You will not have to work your decor around an off-the-shelf solution that you probably don’t like.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

2. How do you know if you have enough storage space for all your clothes

When deciding on a wardrobe size there are three important measurements that you need to take: width, depth and height. Measure your available space then allow 10cm to either side and 8cm above to make room for hinges and assembly.

Our smallest wardrobe is a 2-door hinged design which will work for an average single person's clothing collection. If you have a more generous amount of apparel, we recommend discussing this with our wardrobe experts who can then recommend an ideal size.

Don’t worry if you have limited space in front of your built-in, we will fit sliding doors which won’t need any outward-opening room.

3. What should you consider when choosing a built-in wardrobe design

The inside of your wardrobe should be as beautiful as the exterior. We offer over 200 customisation options to suit any design taste - from traditional to modern, minimalist and opulent.

Is your lifestyle better suited to easy-to-clean materials, or are you looking for some glamorous finishes? Your built-in design should fit seamlessly into your home’s design and your personal taste.

Regardless of how varied and expansive your clothes are, there are various ways to store them, including hidden or display options. Ask our designers about hanging rails, shoe and trouser racks, and specialist pull-out shelving, lighting and ventilation to suit your needs.

A tip to remember: a small bedroom will always look better with mirrored wardrobe doors. This finish will reflect light into the room to make it brighter and also create the illusion of a larger room.

4. How much does a built-in wardrobe cost, and is it worth the investment

Built-in wardrobes are no longer just for keeping clutter at bay, they have become focal design points in the bedroom.

Our bespoke modern wardrobes are available in a variety of materials, colours, and finishes that increase on a sliding price scale depending on the combination you choose.

The price will depend on the components you select, the size you need, the internal storage system and finally the exterior finishes.

To help you get an idea of our pricing, we have provided an easy-to-use cost calculator. By using it, you will get a good idea of the price you can expect to pay, but there’s no substitute for speaking to a member of our design team.

Though you can’t take your beautiful fitted wardrobe with you when you move house, you can take consolation in the fact that your investment is always recouped when you sell your house.

Buyers put a premium on storage, especially in London homes, so go ahead and choose the best design. Take inspiration from our super stylish fitted wardrobe range.

5. How to install a built-in wardrobe yourself (or hire a professional)

We all love a DIY project, but putting up a shelf or some flat-pack furniture is a bit different to a custom-built fitted wardrobe.

Installing your own design means you save on labour, but unless you have access to advanced equipment and expertise, your design options will be limited.

When you choose a reputable company like ourselves, you gain access to expert designers and consultants that will make all the difference in the planning and installation process.

Our team has over 15 years of experience working in homes that have all sorts of challenges, so chances are we have worked in a house just like yours. As such, we can confidently guide you towards a design and layout that will meet your unique needs.

Given that built-ins are a long-term home improvement, it’s best to choose a future-proofed option that you will still be in love with years down the line.

In Conclusion

Built-in wardrobes have become popular among UK homeowners. This is because they offer convenience, aesthetics, and affordability. The benefits and value they deliver make installing them worth the investment.
