Creating a brief for bespoke fitted bedroom furniture

January 18, 2012
Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

When you have bespoke furniture built into your bedroom, you are in charge of how it will look. This is a really positive situation to be in because you can exercise complete control over the design of your furniture in order to make sure it suits your own personal preferences. In your bid to make your bedroom look as good as possible, this is a very important consideration.

It works out really well when you have some fairly specific preferences that you can present as a list of specifications or as a brief to your furniture designers. They will be able to use this list of specifications to produce a set of drawings that meets your expectations. These will also take in all the finishing touches like hinges, handles and so on.

These drawings only need your approval for work to begin and for your fitters to start manufacturing all the components of each piece of furniture. When this has been completed, a date will be arranged for the installation of the furniture and you need only wait a short spell to enjoy the perfect bespoke fitted bedroom.

Selecting a colour palette for fitted furniture as part of a refurbishment

January 17, 2012
Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Karen

Choosing a colour scheme is obviously a really big part of determining the look of your bedroom when you decide to have it redecorated. If fitted bedroom furniture is a big part of your plans for the refurbishment then you will also need to make sure that the colour scheme of the furniture matches the colour scheme of the room really well.

This is something that is made much easier by the fact that furniture fitters are very creative and very accommodating when it comes to the selections you need to make. They offer a wide range of colours when they build your furniture for you to ensure you are as happy as possible with the results.

Think carefully about the colour palette for your fitted wardrobes. If you find that you change your mind often and redecorate frequently, it may be best to go with a neutral palette so that your fitted furniture will complement any future changes you make. However, if you’d rather make a statement you could go for something really bold and contemporary.

Once your walls have been finished and your furniture is installed you can shop for further embellishments to top it all off.

Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Jermaine

Fitted wardrobes make a huge difference to the way your bedroom handles storage. They often give you much more space in which to keep things and they are known to preserve plenty of floor space in order to make your bedroom feel that much more comfortable to spend time in.

When you have your fitted wardrobes planned, you will naturally have a few decisions to make regarding how they are built and what features and benefits they include. Among the important things you will look into are the types of doors available for your fitted wardrobes.

It is entirely possible that you will be very happy to have regular outwardly opening doors fitted onto your wardrobe. If you have plenty of floor space in front of it then this is fine. However, if you are stuck for floor space, you might want to think about a different option.

One of the different options available to you is sliding doors. Sliding wardrobes often prove very useful because they use sliding doors instead of hinged doors which means they don’t require a door’s width of space directly before the wardrobe.

Insight into the difference between front frame and full carcass wardrobes

January 14, 2012
Posted in Bedroom Furniture, Fitted Bedrooms — Written by Sam

If you have decided to have fitted wardrobes installed in your bedrooms at home then you have made a pretty wise decision. However, you need to keep going and make a few more decisions before the project is complete.

The first decision to follow on from the initial plan is whether to have full carcass fitted wardrobes or front frame fitted wardrobes installed. These are slightly different options so you do need to consider them carefully. Your furniture fitters will explain the differences in detail but a little bit of background always helps.

Front frame wardrobes make use of the walls in order to complete the frame. If the wardrobe is taking up an entire portion of wall then the back of the wardrobe, it’s ceiling and it’s two sides will actually be existing wall space that is lined to prepare it to make up part of your wardrobe’s interior.

Alternatively, full carcass wardrobes have all of these constituent parts built along with the front facing frame. There is no right or wrong option between front frame and full carcass wardrobes. It simply depends on what is best for the job.

Address furniture issues in your home office

January 9, 2012
Posted in Office furniture — Written by Karen

If you already have a home office but you find that it gets untidy very quickly, you might need to carry out a few changes in order to make the room more organised. It defeats the object of having a home office if it is not particularly organised because you will never be able to find anything you store in it and the untidiness will prevent you from concentrating when you are working there.

A good way of making your home office more organised is to reassess your attitude to home office furniture. A lot of items of free standing furniture don’t use space very effectively and they prevent you from making the most of the room as far as storage is concerned.

Fitted home office furniture has a far more positive effect in this regard. This is because fitted items of furniture fit the dimensions of the room much better. They work subjectively with the given space instead of trying to satisfy a more general brief. This is advantageous when space management is necessary for a room to perform its function problem.

What makes a more efficient and convenient bedroom?

A good bedroom is a bedroom that is in a perfect position to cater for its occupants needs. If you ever find that your bedroom doesn’t meet your basic requirements, there is no point struggling on with your current arrangement. You need to ring the changes in order to make your bedroom as convenient as it probably should be so that you don’t feel hindered in the most basic things.

Obviously the real key to convenience in the bedroom is the capability of your room to store all the items you need storing on a day to day basis. However, it is not just a case of accommodating these items. They must be stored in a systematic manner so that you never feel as though your storage is more of an inconvenience than a convenience.

The clearest way of doing this is to get rid of any of the items of furniture you feel are not up to scratch as far as space efficiency is concerned. You can then start afresh by replacing these items of furniture with pieces of fitted bedroom furniture. Perhaps fewer items of more efficient furniture will give you the space and convenience you expect.
