Fitted bedrooms often look like sets for a design magazine photo shoot. The clean lines of the built-in storage and uncluttered space of the room, give the feeling that there is real intelligence behind the space. A fitted girls bedroom or boys bedroom can be done in any style, and should perform certain functions for the owner:
-Be planned to provide more storage than immediately necessary.
-Be visually engaging but not overpowering.
-The design should cater to your budget.
Fitted Furniture
Furniture for a bespoke fitted bedroom can fall into one of these categories:
1. Full Carcase: Using a wardrobe as an example, this furniture will have all panels, like any free standing piece of furniture. This includes top and bottom. Door hinges are connected to the panels.
2. Front Frame: With front frame furniture, the piece can be constructed at any distance from the back wall. The absence of side and back panels exposes the walls, but this opens up a creative opportunity for lining the back and sides.
3. Sliding Wardrobe Doors: This is a sliding frame that covers a full carcase style of wardrobe on the inside of it. If you can afford it, have these custom-made. Store bought doors are going to overlap and make full access to the wardrobe difficult.
Many UK based companies specialize in fitted bedroom units. Drawing inspiration from their example, fitted bedroom wardrobes can be built with the individual’s personality in mind. For instance, adding decorative bands to sleek wood in different patterns and colors.
It is important to be as educated about fitted bedroom units, which are pre-built pieces, and fitted bedrooms in general, before going shopping. Know what you require of your fitted bedroom with regard to storage and design and find the best price for these needs.
Going back to the fitted bedroom furniture styles, we can focus in on what works best for certain situations.
Carcase furniture:
-This type is easier and quicker to install, and easier for a beginner to visualize in their space.
-The cabinet is sealed on all sides, plus top and bottom.
-This furniture is not easy to adjust to abnormal spaces, such as arched or sloped ceilings.
Full frame:
-Complete access to storage.
-Fits underneath odd-shaped ceiling with ease.
-Should be installed by a professional.
Sliding Doors:
-Easy to design and less expensive, but should be fitted by a professional.
Fitted bedroom furniture opens up the space while creating more storage, and is a smart way to get the most out of your bedroom.
