Installing fitted bedroom furniture

July 23, 2010
Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

Different types of fitted furniture can work wonders in your bedroom. The great advantage of fitted furniture is the potential it offers in terms of storage. Regular furniture simply cannot compete with fitted furniture when it comes to maximising the storage potential of your bedroom. This is because fitted furniture is installed to the very dimensions of your bedroom, unlocking the potential of more inaccessible areas like corners and heights.

Fitted wardrobes are ideal because they represent large centralised storage solutions for your bedroom. However, you can also get fitted drawer units, fitted cupboards and fitted shelving options to work alongside the fitted wardrobes.

It is also possible to tie all of these fitted solutions in with your bed so that your room will have a really neat and attractive arrangement. This is great both in practical terms and in terms of aesthetic appeal, as the neatness will add to the pleasant atmosphere in the room.

Well-designed fitted bedrooms really are the ultimate when it comes to bedroom design. They maintain a sense of continuity throughout the room and give you control over how it should look. Contact a team of experienced and dedicated furniture fitters to help you kit your room out.

Incorporating fitted wardrobes into your interior design

Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Karen

People are always on the lookout for ways they can make their homes more visually appealing. Interior design is something that a great many people take an awful lot of pride in as it often says something about them. The bedroom is a wonderful room in which to exercise a little bit of your creative flare for interior design.

Fitted bedroom furniture gives you a great basis around which to design a room. If you have fitted wardrobes, for instance, then you can take up an entire wall with these items as real feature pieces. You are then at liberty to design the room around them.

Another advantage of fitted bedrooms is that fact that they reduce your need for practical bits of bedroom furniture. If all of your bedroom storage is centralised into one really well-organised fitted wardrobe then you are free to design the rest of the room according to your tastes rather than according to practical necessities.

An organised fitted wardrobe also means that your bedroom will stay looking great for longer, simply because it is less likely to become overrun by clutter and mess as time goes by. People who experience the advantages of fitted bedroom furniture rarely look back.

Hanging space and folding space in your wardrobe

Regular wardrobes are frequently unsuitable for your specific needs. It is hard to buy a wardrobe from a furniture retailer that completely satisfies the way you generally operate at home. This can make life pretty inconvenient for you once you get the wardrobe home. A better option than settling for an unsuitable item of bedroom furniture is to invest in fitted wardrobes.

The main choice you have to make when considering the exact type of storage that would be best in your room has to do with clothes. You need to decide whether you need more rail space than shelving space, more shelving space than rails space or an equal amount of both.

Rail space

If you’re the type of person who like to hang all your clothes up then you simply can’t do without a rail. Things like suits, shirts and t-shirts generally require hanging up so that they don’t get creased, so if your collection of clothing consists mainly of these things, make sure you have lots of rail space.

Shelving

Fitted wardrobes can be designed with ample shelving inside. Things like jeans and sweaters can be folded neatly on shelves inside your wardrobes reducing your need for hanging space. Shoes can also benefit from a bit of dedicated shelf space.

Elements of home office storage

Posted in Office furniture — Written by Sam

Different items in your home office naturally require different methods of storage. The home office is one of those rooms in the house that has to be able to accommodate loads of different things and fitted home office furniture is probably the best way to achieve this.

When you work with a designer to install the most appropriate fitted furniture for your home office, you will have to think about the following features in terms of storage.

Shelving

Ample shelving is really important if you intend to keep lots of books and resources in your office. This is likely to the case even if you don’t work from home.

Cupboards

Cupboard space is very forgiving. It hides away the more unsightly things you need to store, like printers and other bits of technology.

Drawers

Drawers also hide things away and are perfect for paperwork and stationery. You can get solutions with filing cabinets including which are great for organising documents.

Media storage

CDs and DVDs require different dimensions than books and resources, so media storage is important. Storing these items of ordinary bookcases often leads to wasted space.

Desks

A bespoke desk area is ideal in your home office. You can have your desk at the ideal height and in the ideal shape to suit how you like to work.

Fitted wardrobes for people with lots of clothes

Clothes are a real passion for a lot of people. Being well turned out is a matter of considerable pride for dedicated followers of fashion, and this often means needing huge amounts of wardrobe space.

When your fashion tastes change regularly, or you like to keep yourself at the cutting edge of different trends, you may find that your wardrobe struggles to cope. Even if you clear your wardrobe out periodically, sending items to charity shops and so on, your collection is likely to increase anyway, simply because of the greater likelihood that you will buy clothes that you want to keep.

Seasonal clothing also has to be kept somewhere. There’s not much point in having heavy sweaters and coats to hand in the summer, for instance.

Normal wardrobes aren’t always great at managing large amounts of clothes. They fill up to quickly and make poor use of space. Fitted wardrobes on the other hand are designed to greatly enhance your bedroom storage.

Fitted wardrobes can be designed to have all sorts of different compartments, shelves, rails and so on to deal with your clothes in the best manner. Unleash the potential of your bedroom by installing a fitted wardrobe.

Storing paperwork in your home office

Posted in Office furniture — Written by Jermaine

A fitted home office can greatly enhance the general setup of your home. You do not actually have to work from home to benefit from installing a home office. These rooms simply manage to centralise all of the more administrative sides of your life.

It’s important to be able to keep track on your life in general. As you get older, you will have more and more things to think about, from insurance policies and medical documentation to paperwork concerning finances, your children, travel and all sorts.

It’s a good idea to keep all of this stuff in the same place. A home office is the ideal location for paperwork of all kinds because it gives you a dedicated area for the systematic storage of all the documentation of your life.

Fitted home office furniture is crucial to the success of a home office because it makes it possible for you to arrange your furniture exactly as you like it. You can have as much shelving or as much desk space as you think you need. Having these storage solutions also means that you can get all of your paperwork out of other rooms and into a place that is designed to cope with it.

Considerations when selecting fitted wardrobes

Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Karen

When choosing fitted wardrobes there are a few considerations you can make to find the very best design for your bedroom. The following selections are at your disposal when shopping around for suitable bedroom furniture.

Types of fitted wardrobes

There are two different types of fitted wardrobes that you can choose from. These are known as full carcase wardrobes and frame construction wardrobes. Frame construction wardrobes are those that do not actually have sides, a ceiling or a base. Instead your walls, ceiling and floor will be used to complete the structure of the wardrobe once the front and frame are constructed. These areas will be lined so they are suitable for storing clothes and things in.

Full carcase wardrobes, on the other hand, are complete units including bases, walls and ceilings.

Choosing wardrobe doors

When you pick a fitted wardrobe you will have to select wardrobe doors. Part of this selection is about style as you will want the face of your wardrobe to create the desired visual effect. However, you will also need to choose between wardrobes with regular doors and sliding wardrobes. Sliding doors simply help to save a little extra space directly in front of the unit.
