A well-planned wardrobe is more than just another item of furniture: it can literally change your life for the better by helping you to eliminate clutter and always be able to find exactly what you are looking for. This makes it easier and quicker for you to get ready in the morning, and putting together a stylish and coordinated outfit will be no effort.
Of course, your wardrobe should also be beautiful as well as useful. At our modern furniture store in Buckinghamshire, we can help you with every stage of selecting the perfect fitted wardrobe, from the design and visuals to the delivery and installation. Here’s what to consider, and we will work with you to achieve it.
Work out what storage space you need
Start by assessing what your needs are. If you are a very fashion conscious person, it’s likely that you have got a large collection of clothes, shoes and accessories that requires careful organisation. In this case, consider a fitted wardrobe that will make use of the full length from floor to ceiling, and can be installed from wall to wall if necessary.
A custom made wardrobe is a good solution for smaller rooms, because they can make use of every inch of space, including awkward areas such as alcoves and sloping ceilings. Unlike freestanding items of furniture, they do not create dead space above, underneath or to the sides.
However, if you tend towards a minimalist capsule wardrobe, then a stand-alone item of furniture may suit your needs just as well.
Selecting the materials and finish
The material you choose is a matter of personal preference and your budget. Solid wood has a timeless and elegant appeal that brings natural beauty and warmth to any room. However, it’s usually the most expensive option, although the initial investment can be offset by durability and quality.
More affordable options include medium-density fibreboard (MDF) or plywood, which can be finished in a variety of veneers. For example, you may choose a colour that matches or complements your interior design scheme, or a wood veneer that convincingly replicates the tone and texture of the real thing.
Door style
Wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes lend themselves to sliding doors, particularly in smaller rooms because you don’t need to allow for clearance space for hinged doors to open. They can be combined with full-length mirrors to increase the sense of space and light in the room, and provide a convenient means of checking your outfit as you get dressed.
Hinged doors offer complete access to your entire wardrobe, whereas sliding doors will always mean that one section is covered. If you have plenty of space then you may prefer a traditional hinged door system.
Internal storage
Make the most of the internal storage space with double hanging rails for shorter items, adjustable shelving, and built-in drawers and pull-out racks for folded items, shoes and accessories.
