Frequently Asked Questions about Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes
What is the difference between fitted and built-in wardrobes?
There is no difference between a fitted and built-in wardrobe. However, there is a difference between fitted wardrobes and walk-in wardrobes. As the name suggests, walk-in wardrobes are large enough for a person to walk inside and stand upright. Some walk-in wardrobes are large enough to function as bespoke dressing rooms with separate sets of drawers and cabinets.
How much does it cost to install a built-in wardrobe?
Bespoke fitted wardrobe prices depend on the size, shape, railing, type of shelving and materials required. It’s also important to note that bespoke furniture projects require a high level of personalisation and craftsmanship. Our expert designers are always on hand to advise you on the best storage space solutions for your budget.
Do built-in wardrobes add value to your house?
Yes, bespoke fitted wardrobes will add significant value to your home. Bedrooms with bespoke fitted wardrobes ensure a room looks neat and streamlined. They are designed to last for years and will save future homeowners the inconvenience of buying freestanding wardrobes or having to install their own built-in wardrobes.
What are the benefits of fitted wardrobes over freestanding wardrobes?
Fitted wardrobes optimise the available space in your room and seamlessly blend into their surroundings. They can also be customised to fit perfectly into your bedroom, which might require specific measurements if the room features unusual shapes and corners. While freestanding wardrobes are easy to move between rooms and houses, they don’t maximise the available space.
Freestanding wardrobes have a limited choice of sizes compared to built-in closets. Most use just three-quarters of wall-to-ceiling space, leaving a large amount of unusable space above, below and to the sides. They can dominate smaller rooms and make them look cluttered, and the spaces can quickly accumulate extra dust, making them difficult to clean.
Because they lack customisation options, freestanding wardrobes usually won’t meet your exact storage requirements. It’s also difficult to find a freestanding wardrobe that perfectly reflects your individual style or blends into the room, unless it’s part of a complete bedroom furniture collection.
