Corner Fitted Wardrobes: Smart Storage for Every Bedroom
Corner fitted wardrobes are an incredibly effective way of maximising space in a room. Corners are often underused or awkward to furnish with standard furniture, which can lead to wasted space that could be used as valuable storage. With a bespoke fitted wardrobe, corners can be transformed into practical and seamless storage. Whether it’s for a compact bedroom, an unusual room layout or you simply want to make better use of your available space, corner fitted wardrobes are a flexible and stylish solution that works in a wide range of homes.
Why Corner Fitted Wardrobes Work So Well
The main advantage of a corner wardrobe is its ability to use space that would otherwise go unused. By extending storage across two adjoining walls, corner fitted wardrobe designs create extra capacity, without taking up more floor space. Unlike freestanding options, fitted wardrobes are designed specifically to a room’s layout, allowing them to be fully integrated, rather than ‘adding on’. Corner fitted wardrobes can:
- Maximise storage in smaller or awkward rooms;
- Improve room flow by reducing unused gaps;
- Create a more balanced and symmetrical layout;
- Provide a seamless, built-in appearance.
A Real Example: Corner Fitted Wardrobes in Manchester
At My Fitted Bedroom, we recently completed a corner fitted wardrobe installation in Manchester, where the bedroom layout made traditional furniture a little difficult to position comfortably. The room featured an underused corner that limited how the rest of the space could be arranged. Therefore, by designing a fitted wardrobe that wrapped around the corner, we were able to unlock additional storage potential.
The final fitted wardrobe design incorporated hanging space, shelving and drawers, ensuring the wardrobe was practical and easy to use daily. Externally, a finish was chosen that really compliments the room, allowing the wardrobe to blend seamlessly into its surroundings! This project highlights how bespoke fitted wardrobes can be tailored into the natural structure of a room, adding a beautiful new feature.
Making the Most of Internal Wardrobe Space
The internal layout of a corner wardrobe is just as important as its external design. Since corners can be deeper than standard units, careful planning is essential to ensure the space is accessible and practical. Popular internal features include:
- Double hanging rails for increased capacity;
- Pull-out rails or specific corner access systems;
- Adjustable shelving for extra flexibility;
- Integrated drawers for smaller items.
With the right internal design, a corner wardrobe enhances an entire space, creating a more organised and clutter free room.
