How Are Custom Wardrobes Fitted in a Space?
Whether you're moving into a new home or giving your bedroom a refresh, you need to think carefully about the wardrobe you choose.
After all, you'll be using it to store your clothes and belongings for years or even decades to come, so making the right choice is key.
While store-bought wardrobes can do the job, they often come with awkward gaps, unused corners, and wasted space. Luckily, there's a sleek and space-saving solution to these issues: custom fitted wardrobes! Unlike off-the-shelf models, custom wardrobes are tailored to fit the unique contours of your room, maximising every inch of available storage while adding a sleek, modern touch to your space.
If you've been thinking about investing in a custom wardrobe, you may be wondering about the process involved in fitting them into your bedroom. Well, let the expert furniture craftsmen at Custom Made give you a peek behind the curtain!
1. Design consultation and measurements
The first step involves specialists visiting your home to take measurements of the designated wardrobe space. This includes wall lengths, ceiling heights, and any alcoves or architectural quirks. Millimetre-perfect accuracy is crucial here, as even a small discrepancy could lead to the wardrobe not fitting properly during installation, requiring costly alterations.
With the measurements in hand, a designer will work with you to create a personalised wardrobe layout. They'll discuss your storage needs - hanging rails, shelves, drawers, or a combination? - and suggest options that optimise the space for your clothing and accessories. They'll also guide you through aesthetic choices like materials and colour options, making sure the new wardrobe complements your existing décor and architectural style.
2. Production and assembly
Once you've approved the final design, the specialists will source the right materials -- whether wood, metal, glass, or a combination -- along with the necessary hardware. Everything will then be sent to a workshop, where a skilled team of craftsmen will begin assembling your new wardrobe, making sure it's a sturdy, lasting piece that complements your home's existing décor. Before delivery, your wardrobe will be put through rigorous quality and safety checks to guarantee it's fit for use.
3. Installation
Finally, the specialists will return to your home and carefully fit the wardrobe into the designated space. They'll make sure the wardrobe fits perfectly and is securely anchored to the walls or floor. Depending on the design and size, they may assemble the wardrobe on-site or install pre-assembled sections.
Once the wardrobe is in place, they'll make any necessary adjustments to guarantee the doors, drawers, and other components operate smoothly. They'll also take care of any final touches, such as installing trim or touching up the finish, to ensure your new wardrobe looks flawless and blends with your home's décor.
