Using the loft space as your family grows September 30, 2010 Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam Your family is growing and you’re starting to run out of room. This is when all thoughts turn to a loft conversion. It’s a great way to maximise the space in your room and it means you can avoid having to look for somewhere else and uproot from your family home. But a lot of work has to go into a loft conversion and often, you will need to rely on a builder to help you with the initial stages of the conversion. They will ensure that it is both practical and structurally sound. But once this is done, the fun part begins; it’s time to furnish and decorate. Of course, the decorating will depend upon who is having the room. You might choose chocolate browns or beige colours if the room is to be occupied by adults, or brighter designs if it’s being changed into a child’s room. But then comes the problem of furnishing and finding furniture that will fit around the awkward angles of the loft. Check online though and you will find that you can benefit from wardrobes and cupboards that can be designed to perfectly fit the angles of your loft roof. With their help, your family will soon be growing and so will your home. Comments (0)



Maximising space in your bedroom Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam Storage can be a huge problem in bedrooms. You’ve got more clothes than any Hollywood film star and your shoe collection is quickly getting out of hand. You’re starting to find yourself trying to justify why the chair in the corner is a perfectly suitable makeshift hang rail. But it doesn’t need to be like this if you simply reassess your storage methods in your bedroom. Look around your room and you may find that the cupboards that you have are all quite small and the wardrobes only go halfway up and across the walls. This is not making the best use of the space you have available and the only way you can do this is with the help of fitted bedrooms. The benefits of fitted bedrooms is that they are specifically designed for your room and for your needs. There will be no more small wardrobes; because you can have floor to ceiling wardrobes if that’s what you want. The way that you can maximise space with fitted bedrooms can completely transform your room and mean that you get much more out of it. Comments (0)



Make the most of your room with sliding wardrobes September 29, 2010 Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Karen When you first chose to move into your house, you thought that there would be plenty of room. But that was before you got all of your furniture in. You bought your chunky pieces of furniture when chunky pieces of furniture were in fashion. It was fine when you were living alone, but now that you have your partner’s stuff to contend with, you no longer have room for furniture of the chunky variety. In your new house with your partner, your chunky wardrobe takes up half the bedroom; so it’s time to think of other more practical options. The very best way to tackle this problem is by choosing sliding wardrobes. With a sliding wardrobe system, you can benefit from furniture that makes the most of the space available. These wardrobes will be fitted into an alcove and can be made to make use of the space floor to ceiling. There are loads of different sliding wardrobes to choose from with lots of different designs available for different rooms. So for something subtle and sophisticated, there are dark wood designs or for something a little brighter, choose purple, blue or red sliding wardrobes. Choose the wardrobes according to your room design and replace those chunky wardrobes for good. Comments (0)



Fitted bedrooms for siblings sharing September 28, 2010 Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Jermaine If you have two young children, you might find that it’s more practical for them to share a room. But the problem comes when you try to squeeze all of their belongings into one room. All of those toys and all those clothes just don’t seem to fit no matter how you organise them. This is where fitted bedrooms come in. These are ideal for such situations because they make the most of the space available. With fitted bedrooms, you will benefit from wardrobes and cupboards and shelves that use all of the space available. If you have high ceilings, this is great because fitted bedrooms will make the most of these giving you as much storage space as possible. The other advantage to fitted bedrooms is that you can ensure that they perfectly fit in your room. So if you have angled ceilings or awkward corners, this is not a problem because the fitted furniture will be designed around this. Sharing a room with a sibling can be a lot of fun for a child. But to make the experience completely stress free and comfortable, choose a fitted bedroom to store all those toys and clothes. Comments (0)

The process of fitted bedroom furniture installation September 26, 2010 Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Jermaine Having furniture fitted is a really painless process. It makes much more sense to opt for professional installation of bedroom furniture that is designed with your very bedroom in mind, than to try and install readymade furniture or flat pack furniture that doesn’t always fit the bill. There are a few stages involved in the process of having fitted bedroom furniture built into your room and these are discussed below. • Initially, it is your responsibility to have an idea of how you want the room to look and what furniture you want where • Then your experts will visit and measure the room before consulting you on how to make the best use of the space • Then plans will be drawn up for approval before they are sent to the workshop • In the workshop, the furniture will be cut to size ready to be built into the room • Finally, fitters will visit again in order to install the furniture quickly and efficiently so that your room is ready to use straight away The fitting process itself tends to take less than two days, so once you have gone through all the planning stages, you can rest assured that your room will be complete really quickly.

Tiered hanging rails inside fitted wardrobes September 25, 2010 Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Sam Fitted wardrobes open all sorts of doors for you in terms of making the most of the space you have available to you in your bedroom. It makes so much sense to have fitted wardrobes installed rather than spending time looking around for readymade wardrobes that ultimately disappoint, either in terms of their practicality or their design. Readymade wardrobes are designed to meet a general need and never have your own personal requirements in mind. Fitted wardrobes are designed according to your own plans or requests. Fitters will work alongside you to create a wardrobe that will improve the convenience of your bedroom significantly at the same time as helping to make the room look really appealing. One of the practical considerations that you should make when inviting a team of experts round to help plan a fitted wardrobe is the way things are stored inside it. A really clever option is to install a wardrobe that fills a wall from floor to ceiling and then to tier hanging rails inside it. Two or three tiers of hanging rails boosts your storage a huge amount so you will never having to worry about expanding your collection of clothing. It always makes sense to overestimate bedroom storage in case your wardrobe increases. Comments (0)



Prior to installing fitted wardrobes September 24, 2010 Posted in Bedroom Furniture — Written by Karen Planning to install fitted wardrobes at home is a really good idea. Obviously the major advantage of having fitted wardrobes installed is that your bedroom storage is likely to improve a great deal. This also has an aesthetic effect as well as a practical effect because it means your bedrooms will stay neat and attractive. In terms of aesthetics, you may also find that your fitted wardrobes make really attractive features in themselves that actual give the visual appeal of the rooms a real boost. This is something that you can account for when you start thinking up plans. Start off by planning the interior of the fitted wardrobe. This is all about storage, practicality and convenience. Assess your clothing and decide whether the inside of your wardrobe could do with more hanging space or folding space. Also assess what other items you may hide away in the wardrobe. Planning the exterior of the wardrobe is about practicality and style. For practicality, it might make sense to opt for sliding wardrobes as these save floor space. Also have a think about the colours and finishes that you think would look most attractive given the rest of the interior décor of the room. Comments (0)



Issues to have in mind when planning fitted bedrooms Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Jermaine When you have decided to have fitted bedroom furniture installed at home, it is important that you have an idea of the options available to you. Furniture fitters have a great deal of experience and expertise when it comes to designing your room and installing the furniture, but you should make a plan of your own so they have something to work towards. In your plan, it is a good to consider the following issues: • Which wall you plan to place the bed against • Whether you want to fill an entire wall with fitted wardrobes • Whether you need to install a desk area for study • Whether you would benefit from a dressing area • How much wardrobe space you require (something that is particularly pertinent in shared bedrooms) • How you may be able to use areas above doors or up in the very corners of rooms (something you may want to do if you are furnishing a box room for extra storage space) • Whether you want furniture that can be built into sloping ceilings or into chimney breasts Keeping all this issues in mind ought to give you a good starting point for drawing up plans for the room. Your furniture fitters will follow this in their own professional plans. Comments (0)
