Are Built-In Wardrobes Space-Savers?

Customers who visit our showroom often inquire if built-in wardrobes save space.

Adding built-in wardrobes to your bedroom is an effortless approach to creating more storage space. These wardrobes are available in various sizes and finishes to fit flawlessly with your individual style while creating around three times the amount of space you may have had.

The height of the room can be accommodated by built-in wardrobes. A fitted wardrobe may transform the most uncommonly shaped nook in a bedroom into a practical storage space.

We’ve answered some of the most common questions that may have crossed your mind while considering a built-in wardrobe.

What are the benefits of having a built-in wardrobe?

Built-in wardrobes are an excellent choice for any home. They offer a number of advantages over freestanding wardrobes, including:

1. Space-saving

They're more space-efficient and can be custom-made to the size you require. This helps with shaping your room in a manner that's convenient for you.

2. Maximise space

Built-in wardrobes are built right into the wall, so they don't take up any extra floor space - which is especially beneficial if you have a specific area you’ve dedicated to it. In fact, they can actually open up floor space by creating the illusion of a larger room.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

4. Aesthetics

Built-in wardrobes are often custom designed to fit your home's decor, creating a cohesive look.

How to determine if a built-in wardrobe is an ideal choice for you

If you're looking for a great way to add storage space to your home, a built-in wardrobe is a wise choice. These wardrobes are much more efficient than other types of storage solutions due to their space-saving element.

If you're thinking of installing a built-in wardrobe, here are some things to bear in mind:

1) Location: Ensure the location you choose for your built-in wardrobe is accessible and doesn’t restrict movement in the area.

2) Size: How many clothes do you need to store? Make sure your new wardrobe has enough space for all of them.

3) Style: What style do you want for your new wardrobe? A modern design will complement your contemporary decor, while a vintage aesthetic works well with classic homes.

How much does a built-in wardrobe cost?

Simple designs start at £800 but this price increases depending on the design, materials, size and other factors. Here are some elements that will influence the cost:

• The size and shape of your built-in wardrobe. A larger built-in wardrobe that requires complex construction will be more costly.
• The material used to build it. If you choose wood over metal, expect to pay more. Wood is considered to be durable and easy to maintain.
• Take into account how many doors or drawers your built-in wardrobe needs. More doors or drawers means higher costs because it requires more work from the professionals who install the product.

We're passionate about designing and building bespoke wardrobes for clients. Our interior design portfolio is filled with inspiration for built-in wardrobe designs that will suit any style.

How do you install a built-in wardrobe, and who should you hire to do it for you?

Installing a built-in wardrobe is a sizeable task, and it can be a lot of work. But if you're up for it, we've got some tips and tricks to help you out.

1. Make sure that the walls are properly levelled and straightened before you start working on them. You don't want any bumps or unevenness in the walls that may impact your finished product.

2. Once you've got your walls levelled, you need to mark where each piece of wood needs to go. After you’ve marked your areas, drill holes where necessary.

3. After the holes are drilled and the walls have been cut for each piece of furniture, it's time to put everything together. You can use screws or nails for this step - whatever works best for your situation.
