Fitted furniture to complement the character of your home

May 31, 2010
Posted in Fitted Bedrooms, Office furniture — Written by Sam

Houses that have irregular and non-standard room shapes can be really appealing. Their layouts and room shapes are part of what gives them character and what makes them unique among all the uniform houses that make up the residential quarters of most suburban regions.

However, whilst character is wonderful in a home, it does sometimes come with a few problems. Interior design can be a touch difficult in rooms that are not laid out as standard squares or rectangles. They may look incredibly stylish on the face of it, but practicality sometimes becomes an issue.

Using bespoke fitted furniture

Ordinary furniture is very difficult to match up with rooms with unique and non-standard layouts. Fitted furniture is a much better idea because it is bespoke and is therefore manufactured with your home’s dimensions and layouts in mind. You can incorporate fitted bedroom furniture into rooms with odd ceilings and chimney breasts and can even fill in quirky under-stair areas with fitted home office furniture just to maximise the potential of your home.

Fitted furniture is the best way of bringing out the character of your home without having to deal with the hassle of impractical and poorly-fitting items of furniture.

Fitted study spaces for teenage bedrooms and home offices

May 30, 2010
Posted in Fitted Bedrooms, Office furniture — Written by Karen

The needs of your household are liable to change according to different circumstances. When your children are young, you need lots of space that are practical for play and so on, but when they reach their teens things are much different.

Teenagers no longer require open spaces for play, but rather start to need areas where they can study, revise and do homework. It might seem a little upsetting to do away with the areas of your house reserved for enjoyment in favour of areas to do with work, but a productive aesthetic can be just as appealing as a playful one if you use the right interior decor.

If you have a spare room in your home, it may well be worth investing in some fitted home office furniture so that your teenagers can work in a room that is designed with study in mind. This may actually help them in terms of inspiring a suitable work ethic. It is hard to get motivated to work in a place that doesn’t seem geared towards it.

Without a spare room, you can still make effective use of fitted home office furniture in bedrooms. Fitted bedrooms can have desk space and storage space incorporated into them to make it easier for your children to study.

Make a feature room of your home office

Posted in Office furniture — Written by Jermaine

Lots of people dream of being able to have an office at home. This isn’t necessarily so that they can work from home on a regular basis, but just so that they can pursue their own interests in a room that is totally dedicated to this purpose.

The idea of a room filled floor to ceiling with books and resources and with ample desk space is really appealing to some people. It conjures notions of productivity and intellectualism and that is something that can really contribute to the general feel of your home.

Fitted home office furniture is a great way of kitting out one of the rooms in your house to handle all of your books and so on. A bespoke office is designed so that it fits precisely into the dimensions of the room you have selected for it. This way you can literally line the walls with books and achieve something of a library aesthetic, systematically arranging your resources around the room.

A well-designed and well-kept home office can be a real feature room in your house. Make the most of it by having a reputable design team fit your office with stylish fitted home office furniture.

Solving loft accessibility and layout problems with fitted bedroom furniture

May 28, 2010
Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

Loft conversions are notoriously difficult rooms to fit furniture into. This is partly because of problems with accessibility and partly because of problems with the actual layout and shape of the room.

Problems with accessibility

Much of the time, loft conversions are reached via narrow staircases that more often than not have at least a single corner in. This makes it incredibly difficult to get furniture up the stairs and into the room. Many people get around this problem by using flat pack furniture, but some people question the quality of a lot of flat pack kit.

Instead, you could consider using fitted bedroom furniture. Like flat pack furniture, these storage solutions would be built in the room, rather than beforehand, solving issues of quality and accessibility.

Problems with layout

Clearly the main problem when it comes to the shape of a loft conversion is brought about by the eaves of the roof. It’s really hard to find furniture that can deal with the eaves and still look attractive. However, by using fitted wardrobes, cupboards, drawer units and so on, you can benefit from the input of a design team that will manufacture furniture items to your attic room’s specific dimensions.

Kit out your home office without interrupting the design theme of your home

May 27, 2010
Posted in Office furniture — Written by Karen

Having a home office in your house can sometimes be something of a contentious issue. This is mainly because the idea of reserving a space in your home for a potentially unsightly office doesn’t appeal to everyone. However, it isn’t actually all that difficult to create an office space that fits perfectly into the aesthetic of the rest of your home.

Investing in fitted office furniture

Fitted home office furniture is a great way of making sure that your office is impeccably organised. When this is the case, there is much less chance of the room being overrun by the documents and other things that you are storing therein. This is because you will be using bespoke furniture that is designed specifically with your requirements in mind.

The advantages of bespoke design

Since your office furniture will be entirely bespoke, you will be able to choose designs that match the rest of your interior design. This is a hugely appealing factor as it makes sure that the inclusion of a dedicated home office space does not interrupt or spoil the particular theme or style that you have worked hard to achieve in all of the other rooms around your home.

Fitted furniture to make the most of your box room

Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Office furniture — Written by Jermaine

A lot of the two, three and four bedroom homes that you are likely to find in large areas of residential housing have one box room in them. Sometimes you need to use this box room as a child’s bedroom, but occasionally it acts as an extra room that you don’t necessarily need to house any member of the household.

Box room bedrooms

Box rooms are not always greatly suited to bedroom space, especially as your children grow up. They will accommodate a single bed quite comfortably, but the difficult part is filling the room with enough storage for all the occupant’s belongings at the same time as leaving enough space for the room to feel comfortable and inviting. The best way of achieving this is to use fitted bedroom furniture. Sliding wardrobes, for instance, save floor space by not having outwardly-opening doors. Fitted bedrooms are renowned for making great use of space.

Unoccupied box rooms

If the box room is not being used as a bedroom then one of the best things you can do with it is to make it into a home office. Again you can make the very best of the space in the room by incorporating fitted furniture into them. Fitted home office furniture can transform your box room into an attractive dedicated home office.

Bespoke home office furniture offers convenience and style

May 26, 2010
Posted in Office furniture — Written by Sam

If keeping on top of your day-to-day tasks or your professional work necessitates having a home office then you should consider kitting a room out with fitted home office furniture. The advantages of using bespoke fitted furniture in your home office are manifold, but they can be categorised into benefits in terms of design and benefits in terms of convenience.

Design

Some people are a little reluctant to turn one of the rooms in their house into a home office – not because they can’t spare the room, but because they don’t see how an office will fit in with the style of the rest of the house. Fortunately, fitted home office furniture is bespoke, so you can work with a designer to choose the exact kind of style that you think would complement the rest of your interiors.

Convenience

One of the major appeals of fitted home office furniture is the fact that it provides bespoke solutions to all your storage needs. You can determine alongside an experienced designer just how much shelving space you need, how much drawers space you need and how much cupboard space you need, as well as where these areas will fit in relation to your planned desk space.

The extensive benefits of bespoke fitted furniture

Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Karen

Fitted bedrooms are incredibly popular with homeowners. Sometimes it is very difficult to find exactly the right furniture options for your bedroom and you often find yourself having to make certain compromises in order to get what you need. However, if you use fitted bedroom furniture, you may not need to consider making compromises at all.

The following factors contribute to the growing popularity of bespoke fitted bedroom furniture.

Storage space

The storage space provided by fitted wardrobes and the like is second to none. Ordinary units can’t compete with the sheer volume of storage space afforded by fitted units, simply because they are capable of using every square inch of the portion of room in which they are installed.

Style

Taking advantage of exceptional storage space doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on style. Fitted bedroom furniture comes in a wide range of designs so you are sure to find something that fits in with the aesthetic of your room, whether it is traditional, contemporary or anything in between.

Room environment

Since fitted furniture creates so much internal storage space, it does not need to impose upon the rest of the room. This way you can benefit from a more spacious and airier environment in which to relax.

Home offices for the administration of our daily lives

May 25, 2010
Posted in Office furniture — Written by Jermaine

Not everyone that has a home office in their house uses it to run a business or conduct professional work. The advantages of having a home office go far beyond using it for your career. Even if you and the other members of your household spend your days at offices and workplaces elsewhere, it is a really good idea to set aside one room in your home as an office.

Ordinary life completely warrants the use of a home office. All sorts of documentation and correspondence need to be stored in a safe and organised way around the house, because we never know when we might need them. Documents relating to our mortgages, banking, qualifications and so on are things we simply can’t do without and we often need a place in the house where we can sit down to go through them as and when we need to.

We also need a space in the home in which we can use computers. Computers aren’t particularly attractive bits of kit to have in living areas, so it is much better to keep them in an office.

Naturally, you need home office furniture that can accommodate all of these things. The very best solution in this regard is bespoke fitted home office furniture, which is designed with your specific space in mind.
