Fitted bedroom furniture

NEED TO REVAMP YOUR BEDROOM STORAGE? INVESTING IN FITTED UNITS WILL STREAMLINE YOUR SPACE AND HELP YOU KEEP IT TIDY

Long for a more organised life, with fitted wardrobes making the most of your space while banishing the clutter? There's plenty to consider when designing a bedroom scheme, yet ample storage should always be factored in the planning stages, rather than an after-thought.

Many of our homes lack the storage space that we really need. Yet a fitted wardrobe and drawers combo is guaranteed to max out every scrap of space in a bedroom. As Cigal Kaplan, creative director at Cigal Kaplan Interiors (cigalkaplaninteriors.com) explains: ‘Fitted furniture is absolutely a forever buy – or certainly a very long-term option – and if it is done right it should add value to your home.’

There are made-to-measure solutions that seamlessly become part of your bedroom storage, using every inch of available space. But if budget is an issue, you can opt for an ‘off the peg’ solution. This is where you can choose the number of shelves, rails, racks and drawers inside the cupboards. But, regardless of what you go for, fitted furniture will streamline your space brilliantly while giving you oodles of storage to boot.

1 WORK WITH THE ANGLES 

Many houses in the UK aren’t perfectly symmetrical with straight lines, so fitted furniture is often the best solution in making the most of the little space you have, working around eaves, sharp angles and architraves. While freestanding furniture can still work in these schemes, it never uses all the space efficiently, leaving certain areas of your room lost and redundant.
