How to choose a fitted bedroom wardrobe

When considering new bedroom furniture, wardrobes are an important part of the decision. After all, you can never have too much storage space in the bedroom. Whether you’re moving into a new house, or redesigning a room in your current home, storage space is an important decision for home buyers and renovators.

But there are a lot of options out there. Here's all you need to know about how to choose a fitted bedroom wardrobe that's perfect for your space and needs.

Why choose fitted wardrobes for your bedroom wardrobe

Fitted wardrobes are a great option for utilising and optimising space in your room. Unlike free-standing wardrobes, fitted wardrobes are measured to fit perfectly in your space and utilize every inch of storage. They are also tailored to your lifestyle, allowing you to choose the exact number and location of compartments, rails, shelves, and mirrors you need.

Important factors to consider when choosing a bedroom wardrobe

There are many factors to consider when choosing a bedroom wardrobe, as it's an important investment for your home. A wardrobe not only provides ample storage space for your clothing and accessories, but it can also enhance the overall look and feel of your bedroom. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing a bedroom wardrobe:

Space

One of the main considerations when choosing a bedroom wardrobe is the amount of space you have available. Measure the dimensions of the wall where you plan to place the wardrobe and make sure you have enough space for the wardrobe, as well as enough space around it for easy access. If you have a smaller bedroom, consider opting for a wardrobe with sliding doors, as they don't take up as much space as hinged doors - more on that below.

Storage capacity

The next important factor to consider is the amount of storage space you need. Consider how many items you need to store in your wardrobe and make sure you choose a wardrobe with enough compartments, shelves, and hanging space to accommodate all your belongings. You can also opt for a wardrobe with added features like drawers or a built-in shoe rack to maximise your storage space.

Style and finish

The style and finish of your bedroom wardrobe should complement the overall design and theme of your bedroom. Choose a wardrobe that matches the existing furniture and decor in your bedroom, or opt for a wardrobe with a unique design that adds a touch of character to your space. You can also choose from a range of materials and finishes, such as solid wood, laminate, or glass, to create a wardrobe that suits your personal style.

Customization options

Another factor to consider when choosing a bedroom wardrobe is the level of customization available. Fitted wardrobes are the best option for maximizing your storage space, as they are measured to fit perfectly in your space and can be tailored to your specific needs. You can choose the number and location of compartments, shelves, and hanging space, as well as the materials and finishes that suit your personal style.

Price

The price of a bedroom wardrobe is an important factor to consider, as it's a significant investment for your home. Determine your budget and speak to a specialist about the storage capacity, style, and customization options you need. Remember that investing more initially could ensure a durable wardrobe that lasts for years to come and pay off in the long run.

Door type

Another important factor to consider when choosing a bedroom wardrobe is the type of door, and whether to opt for sliding or hinged fitted doors.

Advantages of Sliding Wardrobes

Sliding wardrobes have doors that glide horizontally along with metal brackets at the top and bottoms. First and foremost, they’re great for smaller bedrooms with less floor space as the doors don’t open up into the room.

With their seamless design, they also tend to suit modern spaces better. The large doors offer a wide range of finishes so you can easily customise the doors to suit your style and colour scheme.

They’re also great for maximising internal storage as they tend to be fitted straight to the wall, with no backs or bottoms required.

Finally, sliding wardrobes can make the room feel a lot bigger, especially if you chose to add mirrored doors.  The large unbroken doors won’t cause distraction from bedroom focal points and fit seamlessly into the room.

Advantages of Fitted Hinged Wardrobes

On the other hand, there are also several benefits to fitted hinged wardrobes. This style features doors that are hinged internally and open out to give maximum access to your space. This is especially useful if the wardrobe is shared and multiple people need access to it at the same time.

What’s more, they’re completely customisable and can be designed to fit seamlessly into the style of your bedroom. They’re designed to your specific space meaning they offer the advantage of being able to work around bespoke awkward alcoves, curves and corners without leaving any unwanted gaps.

Finally, this style of wardrobe works better if you prefer a traditional shaker style design for your bedroom. A beautiful painted shaker finish offers a high-end look, that adds character to large bedroom spaces.
