Custom Made Versus Diy Fitted Wardrobes

Buying a new fitted wardrobe has become a popular option with many people looking to store items effectively. You can choose between DIY wardrobes where you assemble yourself or customer made wardrobes which fit your design. Each one has different criteria such as price, space available and how easy you find DIY with a drill or hammer.

Custom made and fitted wardrobes have a number of advantages such as style and a professional look which is second to none. There is an abundance of choice when going for professionally fitted wardrobes, from wood to numerous accessories which can be added to provide even more space and style. You can also decide what type of wood you would like to coincide with your current bedroom furniture.

There are many different features to choose from when purchasing custom made wardrobes, which can make storing your items even easier. A lot of professional wardrobe companies offer sliding compartments which means it is so much easier for you to reach items which would normally be lost at the back of your wardrobe. Within the wardrobe can be many different areas for hanging your clothes into different sections such as work, casual and suits. Drawers with clear fronts allow you to see what's inside without having to open each drawer.

There are also disadvantages to having a custom made wardrobe and the most obvious one is the price. To have a wardrobe made with a bespoke design can increase the cost a great deal. The more features you want, the higher the price is going to be. You will need to pay out for experienced advice as well as the construction and installation of your wardrobe. It is best to have a budget ready before visiting a specialised company for designing your wardrobe and to stick to this or before you know it, you could be looking at a huge bill for your dream design.

DIY fitted wardrobes on the other hand can be relatively inexpensive but require a bit more hard work on your own end. They are available in some hardware shops and in a few readymade choices of wood. You can choose the size you want depending on the amount of space you have available. There is usually a choice of the more popular woods such as oak, beech or white wood. Some shops offer sliding mirrored doors also which can be a slightly more expensive option but is great for rooms where the choice of wood available will simply not match your existing dcor.

To assemble DIY variations of fitted wardrobes can required quite a high skill in DIY otherwise things may not go to well. You are also limited by the choices available and they only come in more standard sizes so for anyone with a larger than normal space, you may have to go for the more expensive custom made wardrobes.

You can find the perfect storage with both a wardrobe designed by a professional company as well as from a furniture shop. These can be perfect for your clothes and other bedroom accessories but depends how much your budget can stretch to.
