Freestanding or Fitted Wardrobes?

Are you deliberating between freestanding and fitted wardrobes for your bedroom and unsure which option to choose? Both types of wardrobe design have benefits that work well depending on your property and lifestyle.

Maximising storage space in your bedroom

Bespoke fitted wardrobes can create more storage space than freestanding wardrobes by utilising all of the available space.

Unlike off-the-shelf freestanding wardrobes that are bound by standardised sizes, bespoke fitted wardrobes are customised to your exact specifications and requirements and can be crafted into shapes that fit the most awkward and unusual spaces.

With bespoke fitted wardrobes, you can choose whether you need more space for hangers or folded clothes, and tailor your wardrobe interior layout to match your desires.

Wardrobes for awkwardly shaped bedrooms

Rooms with sloping ceilings, curved arches, eaves and uneven walls are hard to dress, and with standard rectangular freestanding wardrobes, can make the room look unbalanced and often leave a lot of wasted space.

Bespoke wardrobes can be designed to precisely fit any room and can be built into awkward spaces, making them more usable whole achieving confident symmetry and maximum storage space.

Integrating lighting into your wardrobe design

Bedroom lighting can create a relaxing atmosphere at night time and provide a welcoming boost on dreary mornings. Freestanding bedroom furniture relies on overhead lighting and extra lights, which can add clutter to your room with unsightly cords.

However, bespoke fitted wardrobes can incorporate lighting, helping you find the right outfit for the day. Having a backlit mirror over an integrated wardrobe dressing table can help you get ready and start your day without interrupting your sleeping partner.

Moving house with your wardrobes

Freestanding wardrobes are designed to be portable. Therefore, if you plan on moving home, your wardrobes can be taken with you. This isn't the case with fitted wardrobes.

Although fitted wardrobes are not suitable for relocation, they do add value to your property. As storage space is a sought out feature for homebuyers, bespoke fitted wardrobes increase the appeal in your home, should you choose to sell.
