Design and build fitted wardrobe to loft room with sloping ceiling

Design and build fitted wardrobe to loft room with sloping ceiling in Poole, Dorset – customer feedback testimonial…

“The designer was polite and efficient. The price was very competitive, the fitter was excellent.

Custom World continues to make sure the service you receive is second to non, from the initial contact on the telephone, to the design visit, through to the fitting of the furniture in your home.

In this case the customer had fitted wardrobes built in to a converted loft room with sloping ceilings, which is where fitted furniture is at it’s best. It is extremely difficult to get regular free standing furniture to fit in a loft space, which is why most people opt for made to measure.

Builtin Wardrobes

The question I get asked the most about builtin wardrobes is ‘what is the main benefit of having the furniture builtin?’

I always say that the first benefit and the most important one is the extra storage space afforded by built in wardrobes versus the conventional free standing equivalent. Actually, I would go as far as to say that builtin wardrobes can give as much as 50% more storage when you take account of the fitting from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. Whereas, free standing furniture not only stands proud of obstacles such as skirting boards and coving, but also is built with a top and therefore restricted in height and therefore storage space.

The second advantage of having your furniture built in is that it can add value to your home, like a fitted kitchen or bathroom. Where people are moving from one home to another and don’t have their own furniture or are looking to replace it, where the home they are purchasing has fitted built in bedroom furniture, this will save them an immediate purchase and afford them plenty of storage space.

There is perhaps one over-looked advantage about fitted bedroom furniture which is that once fitted and, say in a few years you decide to have a make-over or an update of your colours or a change in the designs of your doors, you will be able to simple buy new replacement fitted doors for your bedroom furniture. Often we get customers that had fitted bedroom furniture a few years who come back for replacement doors and they get a brand new bedroom for a fraction of the costs.

Finally, no dust collecting on top of the wardrobes, as with builtin wardrobes these are from floor to ceiling, which is a comment we get all the time from customers about how wonderful it is not to have dust on top of the wardrobe.
