Box rooms make perfect fitted bedrooms

September 2, 2010
Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

A vast proportion of homes in the United Kingdom were designed with families in mind. As a result, it is really common to see homes that have one or two larger bedrooms and one box room. The box room is generally intended as a children’s bedroom with the larger rooms reserved for adults.

The trouble with box rooms is obviously their size. It is great to have an extra bedroom in the house and kids fit into them pretty well, but as they start to grow, they inevitably need a bit more in the way of personal space.

Furnishing a box room for a child who is moving towards their teens is not always an easy task. They are likely to need a larger bed and they will almost certainly need more clothes, so space in their bedroom becomes really tight unless you take a new approach.

Box rooms are ideal as fitted bedrooms. Fitting furniture directly into a box room increases the potential of certain areas of the room for storage. For example, areas up in the top corners of the room become available for use. Fitted wardrobes reduce the necessity for more pieces of furniture taking up valuable floor space.

Fitted furniture as an alternative to flat pack furniture

September 1, 2010
Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Karen

One of the major issues you are likely to come up against when you are trying to kit a loft bedroom out with furniture is that of accessibility. Loft bedrooms, unlike most bedrooms found on the first floor of your home, involve extra flights of stairs that are often extremely difficult to negotiate, especially with larger items of furniture like wardrobes.

One of the answers to this problem of accessibility is to buy flat pack furniture which you can then build inside the room. The upside of this is that you can generally get all of the furniture up there (although some with longer parts may still prove a problem). The downside is that you may end up compromising on the quality of the furniture and you may vastly reduce your options in terms of the styles and designs you would like to install. Moreover, flat pack furniture can be notoriously difficult to build.

An alternative to flat pack furniture that you build yourself is fitted furniture. Fitted bedroom furniture is built by professionals into the room so you don’t have to worry about the construction yourself. You can also choose from lots of different styles so that the furniture installed is to your tastes.

Fitted furniture for quirky loft bedrooms

Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Jermaine

Shopping for furniture for a loft conversion can be notoriously difficult. The main issue that people tend to have when they are carrying out this task is that most furniture is designed to fit into rooms that have more or less regular layouts.

A regular layout essentially refers to a room with an ordinary box structure: four straight walls in a rectangular or square shape. These rooms are really easy to furnish. However, loft bedrooms tend to have a little bit more in the way of character. On the one hand, this is really attractive as it gives the room personality. On the other hand, it makes the room harder to furnish.

Luckily, fitted bedroom furniture is available as an alternative to regular readymade furniture. Fitted bedroom furniture is entirely bespoke, meaning that a team of designers can assess the quirks of your loft bedroom before constructing furniture to deal with them.

Fitted wardrobes can be built that follow your sloping ceilings and that work with the dimensions of the room to provide the very best in bedroom storage. Contacting furniture fitters is a great way of circumventing all the problems associated with trying to fit readymade furniture into more irregular rooms.

Designing a home office fit for study

Studying is a task that people often have to undertake at various points in their lives. At first, all of this studying is likely to be to do with primary and secondary education. After that, college and university may come into play. Some people then continue to study in order to pursue academic careers, whilst other move into other areas of work.

Nevertheless, these areas of work often require that people study in order to advance and move up the ladder. Qualifications exist in countless professions outside of the usual academic institutions. Other people simply study because they enjoy it.

It is a good idea to have a place at home where you or members of your family can study in peace. A home office is the perfect addition to homes wherein people need to keep on top of the work they have chosen to put their minds to.

Naturally, home offices have to be well-equipped with storage solutions to that they remain organised. This is where fitted home office furniture comes in. Office furniture of this kind can be designed to fit the room precisely and you can choose the distribution of shelving, cupboard space, drawer space and desk space you feel you benefit from most.

Fitted wardrobes for shared bedrooms

If you are moving in with your boyfriend or girlfriend, or are perhaps buying a house together then you will need to adapt to life alongside a partner. Living together necessarily involves making lots of changes, not least to the general layout of the home you will be sharing.

Every room in the house will have meet both of your needs rather than the needs of only one of you. As a result, you may have to undertake significant modification projects in order to prepare the home so that you can enjoy it as much as possible.

The room that will be under the most pressure when you move in together is the master bedroom. Suddenly, this bedroom will be required to cope with the storage of a second person’s wardrobe. Clothes account for a huge proportion of the items that need storing in the bedroom and many just can’t cope with their existing items of bedroom furniture.

Fitted bedroom furniture is much more equipped to handle these concerns. Fitted wardrobes are large and spacious and offer a great deal of storage space for two people’s wardrobes. You can adapt them to contain hanging space and folding space as per your requirements and those of your partner.

Fitted furniture in bedrooms and offices

Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms, Office furniture — Written by Jermaine

Fitted furniture can make a massive difference in terms of the convenience of your home. Fitted furniture is particularly ideal in rooms like the bedrooms and the home office. This is because these rooms in particular have to accommodate a great many things and so must have really effective storage solutions built into them.

Fitted bedrooms

Fitted bedrooms have been popular for a really long time. This is because fitted bedrooms are the most equipped to handle large amounts of storage. In shared bedrooms this is particularly important because the clothing of two people must somehow be stored effectively. Fitted wardrobes can handle this task because they often fill the space of an entire wall, right from the floor to the ceiling. This gives you the maximum in storage potential that you can expect to achieve from bedroom furniture.

Home offices

Home offices must necessarily be conducive to hard work. There is nothing worse than a home office that is poorly organised and doesn’t have enough storage to cope with all your books, paperwork and computer equipment. Fitted home office furniture is designed to meet exactly all of your expectations in terms of the storage of all these essential items.

Steps towards a perfect fitted room

August 29, 2010
Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms, Office furniture — Written by Sam

The process of having fitted furniture installed into your home is a very simple and easy one. There are just a few steps that furniture fitters need to take in order to leave your home with perfectly fitted furniture. Whether you need fitted bedroom furniture or fitted home office furniture, the following stages will need to be undertaken to complete the job properly.

Design

The first stage is the design stage. You will have an idea of how you want your bedroom or office to look and what furniture you want where. Invite a fitter to look over your room, take measurements and draw up plans for the room according to the requirements you have expressed.

Manufacture

Once the plan has been approved, the fitter can go away and submit it to those in charge of cutting the furniture. They will do this quickly and accurately according to the measurements taken in the room.

Installation

When the components of the furniture have been produced, the fitter will return to your home, perhaps with a team, and the furniture will be built into the room. This process will take a matter of hours and afterwards the room will be perfectly kitted out for use.

Benefits of fitted furniture over regular furniture

August 28, 2010
Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Karen

There are loads of advantages to choosing fitted bedroom furniture instead of shopping around for readymade furniture for your home. This article intended to offer a little bit of insight into the ways fitted furniture represents a more sensible option when you are looking to furnish the bedrooms in your home.

Save time

The first advantage of fitted furniture is that you can save time by installing it. Instead of shopping around in showrooms for the right styles, shapes, sizes and features of furniture, you can stipulate your requirements to a team of professionals who will cut it and fit it for you quickly. This removes a great deal of stress from your search.

Bespoke style

You can also stipulate how you want the furniture to look. This means you can benefit from styles that fit in perfectly with the design of the rest of your home, something which is far from guaranteed when you shop for readymade furniture.

Practicality

Fitted bedroom furniture is immensely practical. You can tell designers precisely the practical elements you require and they will do their best to incorporate these features into your furniture. They will also make full use of the space in your room.

Fitted furniture is ideal for attic bedrooms and offices

August 27, 2010

Loft conversions are really wonderful rooms. Whenever people have their loft converted into a bedroom or perhaps into a home office, it is very rare that they are unhappy with the result. Most people find that the new room they have created is among the most attractive and most pleasant to spend time in of all the rooms in the home.

One thing that anyone wanting to design a loft bedroom or home office must consider is how to furnish the room once the workmen have departed and the room is ready to be used.

Unfortunately, loft conversions are often pretty difficult rooms to access. They invariably involve going up more than one flight of stairs from the ground floor. Whilst this may not seem like a problem, it can become one when you start shopping around for furniture.

Most items of readymade furniture will not get up the stairs into the room so you will have to think of other furniture items. Fitted bedroom furniture and fitted home office furniture is ideal because a team of workmen can come in and kit the room out with attractive furniture in just a day or two. This will leave you with a room ready for use straight away.

Fitting furniture into a loft bedroom

Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

Countless people across the country invite builders into their home to convert their loft space into a usable room. The most common loft conversions tend to be bedrooms because this often greatly increases the value of the home at the same time as offering a wonderful extra dimension to the layout of the house.

Loft conversion bedrooms sometimes make the most attractive bedrooms in the house. This is mainly because they often have more than one aspect – in some cases three or four. Lots of people can only imagine how much character this adds to a room as most bedrooms only have a single window.

Loft conversions do come with one or two problems of their own in the sense that they usually have slightly irregular features that make them difficult to kit out with bedroom furniture. Sloping ceilings make a lovely feature in loft bedrooms, but they often make it difficult to install items furniture – especially larger pieces like wardrobes.

Fortunately, furniture fitters can help you design appropriate fitted wardrobes and other items of fitted bedroom furniture so that you can get the very best out of your loft bedroom. Rooms fitted with furniture are a very attractive addition to the home setup.
