Designing fitted wardrobes for excellent storage

October 30, 2010
Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

Fitted wardrobes are excellent when it comes to getting more out of your bedroom storage. Readymade wardrobes are often a touch inadequate when it comes to actually helping you to store all the things you need to store in your wardrobe and this can make for a very inconvenient and uncomfortable experience.

Instead of trying to fit all of your clothes into readymade pieces of furniture, you can exercise a little more control over your bedroom storage by installing fitted wardrobes. When you have wardrobes fitted you can actually stipulate exactly the kind of storage you want.

One way of maximising your bedroom storage is to have fitted wardrobes installed that stretch from the floor to the ceiling. This way you can put two hanging rails in one bay of the wardrobe and still have room at the top and bottom for folding and for shoes. Having two hanging rails means you can fit twice as many items of clothing into one part of the wardrobe as you can fit into readymade wardrobes.

It is always worth asking your chosen furniture fitters for advice on how you can get the best out of your fitted wardrobes and how you can design them for maximum storage.

The day of your fitted bedroom installation

Having fitted bedroom furniture installed is a great way of making the most of the space in your bedroom. It is also a really good way of easing some of the pressure of finding the right kind of furniture to fit the room properly, but which also suits your personal tastes in interior design.

Once you have worked with a furniture fitter to decide upon a proper plan for your bedroom, the process of actually having the bedroom furniture fitted can begin. One a chosen date, a fitter or team of fitters, depending on the size of the job, will come around with the bare bones of the furniture.

The fitters will actually build the furniture that you have agreed upon in the room itself. The parts of the furniture will have been cut in factory conditions in order to make sure that they are as accurate as possible, but they won’t actually be put together until they are on site.

Fitted bedrooms rarely take more than a couple of days to complete and by the end of the project you will be left with a fully functional fitted bedroom that is ready to be moved into straight away.

Fitted home office furniture is not necessarily just for use in a home office. You can just as easily install this kind of furniture into your bedroom in order to take advantage of the fact that it is fitted by experts.

Storage

The first thing that you will probably notice about having fitted home office furniture installed in your bedroom is that you will be able to store things more adequately. All sorts of important documents that you aren’t comfortable keeping anywhere else can be filed away neatly inside fitted desks and drawers.

Seamless installation

It’s also good to know that fitted home office furniture will fit perfectly into the part of the room you have set aside for it. If you also have fitted bedroom furniture then the two types of furniture will fit alongside one another seamlessly.

Finishing touches

Fitted home office furniture is not at all as clinical as the name suggests. It can be made to look incredibly attractive in the bedroom and furniture fitters offer all sorts of different finishes, colours and finishing touches like door handles and embellishments to suit the interior design theme that you are looking to keep in line with.

Fitted bedrooms manage storage effectively

Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

Fitted bedrooms are perfect for people who need to have lots of storage available to them. We tend to expect a great deal from our bedrooms in terms of storage. We expect them to manage our expanding collections of clothes and shoes, as well as lots of things we use for entertainment. We might also expect them to handle the storage of things we need for day to day life like important license and certificates.

All of this can take its toll. Some bedrooms do not have the space to actually deal with all of these things comfortably and those that do are often furnished inadequately. Fitted bedrooms, however, are the ideal way of managing the storage of your daily life.

Fitted wardrobes go a long way to releasing the space in your room. You can store loads of items of clothing inside them – much more than you can store inside regular wardrobes. They also go from floor to ceiling, so you can get more into less space.

This frees up extra room around the bedroom, which in turn leaves you more comfortable. You can also install items of fitted home office furniture in the bedroom to cope with your other concerns.

Fitted wardrobes make excellent features in the bedroom

There are lots of different ways that you can make your bedroom a little bit more impressive. One really fashionable way of lifting the aesthetic of the bedroom is to make plans to have a feature wall.

Feature walls can be incredibly attractive and they just mix things up a little bit, instead of having all the walls uniform and unvaried. However, it can be difficult to choose a wall to turn into a feature.

For starters, you have to remember that you’re going to have bedroom furniture all around the room and ideally your feature wall should be obscured too much. A good way of actually circumventing this issue is to combine your plans for a feature wall with your bedroom furniture itself.

Fitted wardrobes can actually be installed to fill an entire wall. This is not only a wonderful option when it comes to sorting out the practicality of your bedroom, but it is also a way of getting that feature wall without getting frustrated by hindering factors.

Fitted wardrobes can be found in lots of different attractive styles and finishes and when installed across the expanse of a wall they will provide that really impressive feature you have been trying to achieve.

Simple steps to a great fitted bedroom

Posted in Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Jermaine

There are a few different steps in the process of installing fitted furniture. It is remarkable how quickly you can actually be left with a fully functional fitted bedroom when you choose an experienced team to guide you and then to take your plans and construct the perfect bedroom from them.

Initially, you will have to make contact with a furniture fitting company and ask them to visit your house. You can then show them the room or rooms that you wish to have fitted with bedroom furniture. At this point you can communicate practical issue you need the fitted bedroom furniture to address.

When they have seen the room, your fitters will draw a plan. They will also guide you through the different options available when it comes to colours, materials and finishes so you can get furniture installed to your aesthetic tastes. They will also give you a quote for the work that needs to be done.

When all of this is completed, the plan will be used to make the components of the furniture before it is built into the room as quickly as possible by experts who will ensure the very highest accuracy on the job.

Make furnishing easier with fitted bedrooms

It is not difficult to get the ideal bedroom in your home. It can sometimes seem like a bit of daunting task to furnish your bedroom in the right way in order for it to be ultimately functional at the same time as very comfortable and attractive.

The best thing you can do to take some of the pressure off when you are trying to kit a room out properly is actually to let somebody else do much of the work. If you enlist the help of professional furniture fitters then you can actually save yourself a lot of time and effort when sorting out the bedroom.

When you consult furniture fitters you are able to actually inform them of just how you want the room to look. You should explain the storage features you would like to have installed and where you want all your furniture to go. They will then use this information to draw up a plan for the room which they will pass by you for your approval.

After all this has been done, it is entirely down the furniture fitters to design and build the furniture into your room as quickly as possible, so you can relax and enjoy the ease of the process.

Ensuring your home office remains comfortable

Posted in Office furniture — Written by Karen

When you convert one of your rooms into a home office you are essentially making a room where you can work comfortably and without distraction. However, you must always remember that your home office is part of your home and as such you have to think about making it fit in properly with its surroundings.

You can’t really design your home office in the same way that you might design an office in the workplace. The problem with that approach is just that you are likely to end up with a very impersonal room and one which fails to evoke any of the character that the rest of your house demonstrates so well.

Fitted home office furniture is a good way of making sure that you can exercise full control over the way your office looks. When you hire a team of bespoke furniture fitters, you can communicate your style preferences when they are drawing up plans for the room. This way you can ensure that when the room is actually finished, it will fit in with the rest of your home and it won’t feel out of place.

It’s also a good idea to make your office suitable for relaxing in. Don’t resist the temptation to introduce soft furnishings to the room, like rugs and settees, to make the room more inviting.

When you have home office you need a place where you can store all your books. Lots of people use their home office not just as a place to work, but as a place where they can relax and enjoy reading or simply a place where they can store things like books without having to keep them in other living spaces.

Bookshelves of all kinds can add to the visual appeal of your home office and make it a much more attractive place to relax and to work. However, if you really want to make an impression with your home office, why not think about installing fitted bookshelves?

Fitted home office furniture is a great way of making sure that your design sensibilities come out in the room you are furnishing. Bookshelves are a huge part of this because they don’t just store your books, the display them.

You can actually make a feature wall out of your book collection by installing fitted bookcases. These can fill an entire wall so that they become a really attractive central feature that will bring something a library aesthetic to the room. Displaying your books in this manner is a great way of instilling some work ethic into the office too.

Converting your loft into the perfect home office

Posted in Office furniture — Written by Sam

Peace and quiet is really important in a home office. It isn’t always easy to find a suitable room in the house in which to work, but loft conversions offer the perfect solution. If you already have a loft conversion that you aren’t using to its full potential then it is definitely worth considering converting it into a home office.

What makes the loft a perfect place to work is the fact that it is in many ways cut off from the rest of the house. People are unlikely to pass through the loft at any point, unless they have a very specific reason. In the loft, you are also much further away from the noisier rooms in the house, like the kitchen and the living room.

What this means is that offices in the loft are peaceful and removed from all aspects of home life. Because of this, you are in a position to work without any distractions and without the office having a negative effect on your living spaces.

Fitted home office furniture is ideal for offices situated in the loft because it can deal with sloping ceilings so much better than regular furniture. This way your office will realise its full potential.
