When you’re designing your bedroom, the choice of freestanding wardrobes or bespoke fitted wardrobes will make a huge difference to your space. But the decision depends on your room layout, budget and how long you’re planning to stay. Let’s look at the pros and cons of each.

Fitted wardrobes

Choosing bespoke fitted wardrobes is your fast track to a perfectly elevated space. Bespoke means that your finished product will be perfectly sized and designed for your unique needs. This is particularly helpful in period properties where rooms are rarely perfectly straight, and a freestanding wardrobe could end up jutting out.

Bespoke wardrobes are also great if you’re looking to conceal an awkward area, such as a sloped ceiling or chimney breast, and you can completely customise the interior to meet your needs. This means adding specialist drawers, shoe racks and hanging heights to suit your wardrobe.

They’re ideal if you’re planning to stay in the property and are keen to invest in long-term value for your house. Just remember that they are a permanent introduction, so work with a designer to get them perfectly right the first time.

Freestanding wardrobes

These are ideal if you’re looking to create your room quickly and on a budget or if you’re likely to be moving in the near future. They’re also great for rentals and newer properties where the angles are likely to be easy and straight! Freestanding wardrobes also work very well when you like to change your interior style regularly.

With both options in mind, which style of wardrobe are you tempted to choose?
