How Do You Measure for a Corner Wardrobe?

Many customers who visit our showroom often ask, how do you measure for a corner wardrobe?

Planning your bedroom furniture may be a daunting challenge given the sharp corners and angles of the allocated space. These areas are frequently underutilised as it may be challenging to figure out what furniture would do the space justice.

At FCI, we are experts in transforming spaces and we can help you find the perfect corner wardrobe to fit your space and suit your taste. Here are some tips for measuring a corner wardrobe in your home.

Measure the space you have allocated for your luxury wardrobe

Before purchasing your wardrobe, it's important to measure the space you would like it to be situated in. It's important to measure the space to make sure that the new wardrobe will fit in your home. This can help prevent any issues with storage once your new wardrobe arrives and is ready for use.

Measure the length, width and depth of the space and take into account any passageways or other obstructions. It’s also important to allow room for you to comfortably use your luxury wardrobe, be it by opening the doors or pulling drawers out.

When measuring the height of your space, ensure you measure from the floor to the ceiling at different points of the room. If the area is carpeted, you will need to measure from the subfloor to the ceiling.

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

Inspect the room for any likely obstructions

Before installing your corner wardrobe, we recommend you assess your ceiling for any potential hindrances. Corner wardrobes can be installed in any room, but if your ceiling is sloped or angled, it may be best to opt for a unique, custom-made alternative.

Bespoke corner wardrobes provide a brilliant alternative for a space that would otherwise be unused. Custom-built corner wardrobes take full advantage of your room’s distinct design by being precisely created to fit snugly in its designated space.

Consider what items you need to store and the features you require

Do you plan to store seasonal items? If so, consider a wardrobe with greater width and height. A tall wardrobe is good for storing full-length garments such as jerseys and coats.

Take into account the storage requirements for shoes and other small items. Consider the number of drawers or shelves you will need to accommodate each item. You can also choose to add a shoe rack or even rods to place your ties and scarves.

Explore different materials and choose the best fit for you

It is important to explore different materials and choose the best fit for your luxury wardrobes. In addition, there are many different styles and designs available to choose from.

The abundance of options for materials can be overwhelming but we’ve reduced the burden so you can savour the experience. Here are some popular materials you should consider when making a decision:

• Wood is a popular choice due to its durability. It also looks appealing in almost any setting. The Young Hinged Door Wardrobes by Dall'Agnese are a stunning option that incorporates both functionality and aesthetics as it harmonises with your existing bedroom decor.
• You can also consider glass as a choice for your wardrobe doors if you’re a fan of minimalism. They create a light and open feel to your corner wardrobe while amplifying the sense of spaciousness in the room.
• Lacquer is another sophisticated option that is easy to customise to fit your style. Lacquer paints can produce a glossy, semi-gloss or matte finish.
• If you're looking for something more modern or contemporary, metal is a great choice. It provides an edgier overall look.
