THE TRUTH!

Fitted wardrobes are a fantastic way to maximise space in your rooms, providing tailored storage solutions that can be designed to your liking. However, mistakes can occur during the selection and installation process that can lead to regret down the line. To prevent this, it's crucial to be aware of these errors and how to avoid them.

Prioritising Price Over Quality

While it's tempting to search for budget-friendly fitted wardrobe options, sacrificing quality for a lower price can lead to issues in the long run. Some companies use subpar materials that can result in sagging shelves, loose rails, and ill-fitting doors. Opting for a reputable designer and installer that uses high-quality materials is essential to ensure the longevity and functionality of your wardrobe.

Neglecting Accessibility Requirements

After installing a new fitted wardrobe, accessibility issues can arise if doors clash with furniture or if reaching top rails is difficult. Considering future access needs when choosing between sliding or hinged doors can prevent such inconveniences.

Overlooking Ventilation

Proper airflow is essential to prevent mould and mildew growth in wardrobes. Ensuring adequate ventilation around the wardrobe, either through vents or spacing, is crucial, especially in damp environments.

Not Seeking Professional Design Services

While flat pack furniture and self assemble furniture may seem cost-effective, lacking design expertise and carpentry skills can lead to costly mistakes. Investing in professional design services guarantees a hassle-free process and a superior end product.

Selecting the Wrong Style

Harmonising the wardrobe's design with the room's aesthetic is vital to prevent visual disruptions. Consulting a design service can aid in choosing materials and colours that seamlessly blend with your existing decor.

Ignoring Interior Configuration

Customising the interior layout of a fitted wardrobe to suit your specific needs is key. Whether it's more hanging space, additional drawers, or extra shelves, maximising the wardrobe's flexibility ensures optimal functionality.

Neglecting Future Requirements

Considering future storage needs when designing a fitted wardrobe is essential for long-term satisfaction. Planning for potential changes, such as a partner moving in or children requiring more storage space, can prevent the need for later adjustments.

In conclusion, avoiding these common oversights when selecting fitted wardrobes can lead to a successful and functional addition to your space.
