Top Ideas For The Best Fitted Wardrobe For Your Bedroom
#Collaborative post
There is no doubt that our bedrooms are supposed to be a place where we can relax and let our hair down, especially at the end of a long and gruelling day. But if your bedroom is like mine, small and full of things that don’t have a home you don’t have enough space to move comfortably because of all your things, it may be time to decide on an overhaul. But your overhaul need not be too drastic – all you need to do is find a place for all your things so you can keep them organised. This is where the fitted wardrobe solution comes in because, with a fitted wardrobe, you can avoid clutter and make sure you have a place for everything, from clothes to shoes to accessories to jewellery and so on. However, fitted wardrobes are an investment, and it’s up to you to make the most of it. Here, then, is a list of top ideas for the best-fitted wardrobe for your bedroom.
- Decide on the depth and height
Most fitted wardrobe installations extend from the floor to the ceiling, and if you have a standard bedroom with a standard ceiling height, this would be an excellent choice as well. But if you have a period dwelling with high ceilings complete with picture rails and decorative coving, it would be better to opt for fitted wardrobes that don’t cover those architectural details. When it comes to depth, the standard depth is 550 millimetres, especially for hanging clothing. Having built-in wardrobes with sliding doors will also allow you to maintain the space in your room as you will not need to allow the space to open the doors.
- Choose timeless, neutral colours
The idea behind fitted wardrobes is to give you a fully customised space where you can store items and avoid cluttering your bedroom. But it’s also an investment, so you have to be wise with your choices – including the colours. If you want to play it safe, choose neutral colours that can be easily painted over later on if you want a change. Ask your chosen fitted wardrobe expert to use a primer like Zinsser, which makes sure that the paint will adhere to whatever surface you have for your wardrobe, whether it’s hardwood, laminated wood, or pine. When it’s prepped, then you can simply choose your preferred paint and paint it over in the future.
If you want your fitted wardrobe to be discreet and unobtrusive, you can also paint it in the same colour as your bedroom walls – this way, you can achieve a seamless look.
- Consider a beauty cove
If you want something extra special when it comes to your fitted wardrobe, why not install a beauty cove or bay? This can be installed inside the wardrobe and you can store items such as makeup, toiletries, and your hairdryer in this area. Complete your beauty cove with a mirror and drawers with glass fronts so you can instantly see what’s inside, making it easier for you to find what you need.
It is a great place for you to display some of your favourite pieces such as your watches, handbags and maybe even your favourite bracelet or necklace.
- Create the illusion of space with mirrors
If your bedroom is on the small side, you may want to create the illusion of space with mirrors. Having mirror-fronted fitted wardrobes can make the space look bigger and brighter as the mirrors reflect light.
To create that illusion of space, you could always consider a fold-down bed, why not check out these great ideas?
