Many people dream of designing a functional, pleasant, personalised, fitted bedroom. Enough storage space is crucial, so you may be debating buying fitted or freestanding closets.
Are fitted wardrobes worthwhile?
Explore the benefits:
- Personalise your bedroom decor
Bespoke fitted wardrobes offer customizable storage options, including handleless, sliding, and modern doors. Shaker-style wardrobes with panelled framed doors are more conventional. Customizable internal storage options cater to lifestyle and apparel demands. Couple’s wardrobes provide storage variety for each spouse.
- Appealing designs
Fitted wardrobes, often called built-in wardrobes, enhance comfort and style by matching décor, colour, and style. They can also reduce wall noise, aiding sleep.
- Boosting property value
Fitted closets can enhance a house’s worth by attracting buyers and saving money on new furnishings. They can be built on carpeted rooms without causing significant damage, making the house more attractive and livable.
- Durable and high-quality
Fitted wardrobes, particularly from big box sellers, are generally of higher quality and are considered a wise investment due to their lifetime longevity.
- Enhanced effective utilisation of space.
Small rooms benefit from fitted closets with sliding doors, which provide more storage than freestanding ones. However, large wardrobes may not provide ventilation and cause mould and germs. Freestanding wardrobes may not fit in odd areas, but custom storage can be created with mirrors or hinged closets. As working from home becomes more popular, fitted wardrobes with workstations are ideal.
- The room will get more natural light
Due to their lack of customization, freestanding wardrobes often obstruct natural light. Lack of natural light may impair a room’s mood if you want to relax, and its practicality is if you want to get ready, put on cosmetics before going out, or locate your stuff. Fitted wardrobes let more natural light in, and mirrored doors make a room appear brighter and larger.
Now, the negatives:
- How much do fitted wardrobes cost?
Fitted wardrobes may cost more than freestanding ones depending on design and size. You may save money in the long term by buying custom built-in wardrobes in WA instead of fitting them yourself.
- Wait period for the fitting
Another drawback of buying a fitted wardrobe is the time it takes to construct and install it, as opposed to being able to bring a freestanding wardrobe home right now. The typical time taken by most businesses to create and install anything is two to three months, but some take much longer. We’ve heard from users quoted 14 to 16 weeks by some businesses.
- Inability to move
Fitted wardrobes cannot be moved around or taken with you if you decide to move, but most people end up selling or giving away their furniture when they move because they prefer new furniture anyway, and their new home may be completely different in size or style.
Bespoke wardrobes provide durability, customization, personalised design, and maximum storage. Although they need a larger initial investment, their long-term benefits of usefulness, beauty, and property value make them a popular alternative for people seeking a high-quality storage solution that meets their demands.
