What Is A Fitted Wardrobe: Things To Learn Before Buying A Wardrobe

We love it when our homes are decorated nicely and make us feel cozy and relaxed. However, many face the problem of limited spacing, which leads to more mess in a room. However, some solutions let us optimize available space while making our homes more comfortable. One such solution is a fitted wardrobe. 

What Are Fitted Wardrobes?

As one might have assumed from the name of the furniture item, it's a custom-built wardrobe made to fit properly into the available space in the room. Fitted wardrobes are built into the walls and cannot be readily removed or altered. They are the opposite of freestanding wardrobes that come in standard sizes and can be moved to any area.


Fitted wardrobes are typically made-to-measure and can be customized to match any space or room. They can be designed to accommodate tight alcoves, low ceilings, or sloping walls. Thus, such a solution is an excellent choice for spaces with limited room or unusual designs.


Customers can order fitted wardrobes made of numerous materials, including hardwood, MDF, laminate, etc. They can be finished with various door types, like sliding, hinged, or mixed doors.


Overall, fitted wardrobes provide a stylish and functional storage option that can help you maximize space in any room. That's why many choose this option instead of settling for standard solutions. 


Pros And Cons Of Fitted Wardrobes

Based on the description of fitted wardrobes, one may assume they get only benefits. This solution indeed has numerous benefits. Still, there are some drawbacks to this solution. Let's start with the pros:


  • Functionality. You may receive a solution that suits your specific needs, for instance, to increase storage and make it easier to arrange your possessions. The wardrobe may consist of hanging space, drawers, and other features that suit you perfectly.

  • Customization. Fitted wardrobes are custom-made to match the measured space. Such a solution allows you to maximize storage and maximize every available inch.

  • Durability. Fitted wardrobes are meant to last and can be created of high-quality materials. For instance, people choose hardwood or MDF rather than plastic and other cheap solutions.

  • Style. Fitted wardrobes are designed to match the style of a specific room.

  • Value. Fitted wardrobes are built to last, increasing your house's value if you decide to sell it in the future. 


As for the cons of fitted wardrobes, they are as follows:

  • Lack of mobility. It may be impossible if you decide to move the wardrobe. 

  • Cost. A standard solution is often cheaper since it's made to fit all sizes and rooms. Thus, a fitted furniture item is more expensive.

  • Waiting time. It takes time to design and produce a fitted furniture item.

  • Installation. Typically, installation goes into the cost of the item, but some companies may charge extra.


To sum up, a fitted wardrobe perfectly fits a specific home or room. This item enables you to use every inch of available space, and the room overall looks wholesome and stylish with such a furniture item. However, it's a more expensive option. Moreover, it's vital to consider the room design before ordering a fitted wardrobe since you won't be able to move the wardrobe due to the lack of mobility. 


Why It's Worth Getting Fitted Wardrobes?

A fitted wardrobe is perfect for homes with unique design features (such as alcoves) and limited space. A fitted wardrobe is ideal because it lets you use all available space while making the room look put together. Typically, fitted wardrobes are made from the floor to the ceiling, so it looks like part of the wall, perfectly fitting into the design.

Reasons to switch to LED lighting

#Collaborative post 

One home feature that has a big impact on the look and feel of a room is lighting. Similar to how the colours, textures, fixtures, fittings, furniture and accessories in a room can change the style and feel of a room, the amount and types of lighting in a room can drastically change the room.


The lighting fixture that you choose not only provides functionality by lighting up a room but it is also a feature in it’s own right. The style of the lighting fixture helps create the room’s look - a minimalistic fixture can help create a modern, minimalist style or an ornate lamp with stained glass can be a statement piece and work well in a traditional or shabby chic styled room.

The type of light fitting also matters. In fact the lights in a room can impact on the feel of a room. A room with plenty of lights or bright lights can make a room feel bright and fresh or too cold and stark whilst a room with minimal lights can create either a cosy atmosphere or make the room feel dark and dingy. 

When thinking about a room’s lighting one of the decisions you have to make is what type of lighting do you want. There are a number of options available on the market with one popular option being LED lighting.

In recent years, thanks to improved technology and the ban of incandescent bulbs followed by a ban on halogen bulbs the popularity of LED bulbs has increased with plenty of LED suppliers in the UK available to source the perfect LED lighting for your home.
