Fitted Wardrobes – Can They Really Work for Any Room?

Fitted Wardrobes – Can They Really Work for Any Room?

You’ve probably all heard of fitted wardrobes by now! Whether you want extra storage or simply want a place to hide all your things behind closed doors, fitted wardrobes have got you covered!

No doubt you have seen many bedrooms with beautiful bespoke wardrobes in them, but what about the other rooms of the house?

Before, when I heard fitted wardrobes, I would automatically conjure up an image of a classy bedroom with floor-to-ceiling cupboards. But recently, I heard people talking about having some wardrobes fitted in their hallway, and that got me thinking, what other rooms could bespoke fitted wardrobes be useful in? So I went on a little researching mission!

(Just in case you aren’t familiar with what bespoke wardrobes are, this refers to high-quality, made-to-measure wardrobes that are tailored to your room and personal style. Everything about them can be customised, including the size, shape, colour and materials used for them!)

I put together this article so you can find out if fitted wardrobes can work in any room of the house and what benefits they can bring to our homes! Shall we get started?

Bedroom

I know we said we all know that fitted wardrobes work great in this room, but I thought it was worth including it in the article in case anyone here is reading who hasn’t had fitted wardrobes done in their bedroom already!

Our bedrooms should be calm, cosy spaces that help us relax after a long day. When you get into bed, the last thing you want to see is a mess of clothing, shoes and other belongings, causing a disorganised mess! A study published by the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin even showed that cluttered rooms could cause high levels of cortisol, making us stressed. And the more stressed we are, the worse we sleep!

Fitted wardrobes are a fantastic way to add extra storage and get your bedroom organised, allowing you to sleep peacefully at night, knowing your belongings are all safely tucked away. Not to mention that they look fantastic!

Office

In recent years, many of us have found working at home becoming a regular thing! And some of us have ended up not even going back to the workplace. Because of this, lots of us, including myself, have decided to dedicate a room in the house to becoming our personal office space. A place where we can go to block out the noise of the rest of the family and focus on our work!

Comfortable, tidy and organised office spaces help us to maximise our productivity and focus on the work in front of us. That’s where bespoke fitted wardrobes can come in handy! They provide that extra storage you might need for your office, where you can store no end of work-related items such as folders, stationery, printers, products, paperwork, and anything else you might need a place for. They can also make your office look chic and stylish. A happy office = a happy worker!

Living Room

After some intense research, I was surprised to find that bespoke wardrobes can also be an extremely useful addition to the living room! Especially a combination of open and closed wardrobes. This provides you with the perfect open shelving area to display your TV, gaming systems, pretty plants and ornaments. Then the less aesthetic objects such as your DVDs, board games, books, and magazines can stay organised and tidy in the cupboards below!

Fitted wardrobes provide so much more storage than your regular TV stand, and the best part is that they can be tailored to you and your living room! Instead of choosing from run-of-the-mill, pre-made furniture, you can choose whichever style, colour and material fits best in your home to create a beautiful and unique living area that all the family will enjoy.

Bathroom

Okay, so this is one area of the home that I never considered would benefit from fitted wardrobes, but actually… it can! I always run out of space to put all my toiletries in the bathroom. Fitted wardrobes can provide that extra bit of storage you need. They’re a great place to store everything bathroom-related, including shampoos, cleaning products, towels and toilet paper! The best part about bespoke wardrobes is that they can be made-to-measure to any room, so no matter how small your bathroom is, there should still be a way to get some extra space in there!

Attic

The attic or loft area is another area of the home that bespoke fitted wardrobes can really improve! Usually, the whole point of an attic area is to provide extra storage, but stuffing boxes up there is not always ideal and makes it a huge pain when you eventually need to go up there and find something. Fitted wardrobes in the loft are a great solution!

No matter how big, small or awkwardly shaped your attic is, you can have bespoke made-to-measure wardrobes fitted, to not only maximise space but help you keep all your extra stuff organised up there. So the next time you go up into your attic in search of old school photos, they should be a lot easier to find!

Kitchen

How about some wardrobes in your kitchen? This is another one that sounded weird to me at first, but when I saw some pictures, it made total sense! Like most of the other rooms in our home, the kitchen also needs maximum storage, especially if you love to cook or have a big family. Bespoke wardrobes in the kitchen give you some much extra space to store your pots, pans, dry goods and that breadmaker I bought but still have never used…

Walk-In Wardrobe

If you are fortunate enough to have a room in the house that you’re not using for anything, then you could completely transform the entire room into one big walk-in wardrobe! This is possible whether the room is big or small, and can even be done with an airing cupboard or spare bathroom!

Hallway

Now we’re at the last area of the home I will mention today: the hallway! This is usually the first thing that anyone sees when they walk into your home, so ideally, you want it to be put-together tidy and organised. Hello, bespoke fitted wardrobes! They make the perfect place to put all your shoes, bags and coats so that they look clean and presentable as soon as you walk through the front door.

Versatile Fitted Wardrobes

And there you have it! Bespoke wardrobes can indeed work in any room. These wardrobes can be made to fit anywhere in your home and use up every last bit of available space. They’re definitely an investment piece that keeps on giving. So whichever room you think needs more storage, you’re sure to be able to get some fitted wardrobes in it!
