Things to think about when getting Fitted Wardrobes
Here we take a look at why fitted wardrobes are such an amazing way to maximise your storage and potentially increase the value of the bedrooms within your home. But installing a system without careful planning can be an expensive error. Before you commit to your new fitted wardrobes read this.
Measure Your Space Accurately
You need to have accurate measurements for a fitted bedroom. There you will need to measure the width, height and depth available at that point countless times (as walls and ceilings are not always completely straight). Remember to take into care visible skirting boards, light switches and plug sockets on the walls that are likely going to affect your design. While professional fitters will come and take their own measurements, having yours can help with initial planning and quotes.
Assess Your Storage Needs
Think about what are you planning to store. How many folded & hanging clothes do you have? Are you going to require shoe racks, tie rails or jewellery drawers? Identify what your closet weaknesses are and work on creating improvements for those areas. If you have to scrounge for accessories regularly, built-in compartments are a must. Avoid internal layout regret by planning now.
Set a Realistic Budget
Fitted wardrobes costs: Fitted wardrobe prices can vary greatly as a result of three factors, the size, materials used and features. At the entry level, MDF units typically cost from around £1,000; yet high end styles with upgraded finishes can reach over £5,000. Add to that installation expenses, any wiring for the lighting if required and room redecoration afterwards. Obtain a few quotes, and clarify what each price covers.

Choose the Right Door Style
Choosing a door impacts aesthetics and function. Sliding doors are best for small rooms as they need no clearance to open, but result in limited access into the sanctuary of your entire wardrobe. Sliding mirror doors give the impression of a larger space, solid finishes help create a contemporary feel. Think about how doors will swing open to your bed and different fixtures.
Check Wall Strength and Condition
Fitted wardrobes have to be evenly fastened on strong walls. Extra support may be required for stud walls or old plasterwork. Carefully inspect your walls or have an installer review them while quoting.
Plan for Disruption
Installation will usually take one to three days and your bedroom won’t be accessible during the process. You will have to empty current wardrobes, shuffle furniture and maybe find another bed. Dust and noise are inevitable, so consider if you work from home or have very young children.
