Are Fitted Wardrobes Worth It? What Homeowners Should Know…

With so many furniture options on the market, from flatpack options to custom made fitted furniture, it’s not always easy to know what’s the best value and the truth is, it really depends on you, your home and how you use your space.

In this blog, we’ve put together some of the key information that you need to know about fitted wardrobes, if installing them has crossed your mind…

Why Are Fitted Wardrobes More Expensive Than Standard Wardrobes?

Right off the bat, fitted wardrobes can feel like a big investment, especially when compared to buying standard wardrobes from a furniture retailer. However, with fitted wardrobes, you aren’t just buying the wardrobe itself, you’re investing in a made to measure wardrobe that’s custom made for your home, full use of the space in your room, a completely tailored internal storage, professional installation by an expert and furniture that offers long term durability.

How Do Fitted Wardrobes Compare Over Time?

Flat pack wardrobes can absolutely be a quick and cheap fix, but they do come with limitations, such as:

• Fixed internal layouts that don’t suit you and your belongings;
• Visible gaps and unused space above, below and around a wardrobe;
• Wear and tear over time, with drawers breaking or shelves sagging, for example;
• The need for replacement in a much shorter period than a fitted wardrobe.

Fitted wardrobes are a more long term solution, because they’re built specifically for your room and are installed professionally, meaning they last significantly longer, they maintain their appearance and they offer better usability. As a result, they are more cost effective over time.

Do Fitted Wardrobes Add Value to Your Home?

House buyers are often looking for practical, move-in ready homes and fitted wardrobes can be a strong selling point in this sense. They help create a more spacious feel and deliver a cleaner aesthetic, all whilst adding a feature that is desirable to the home. As a result, this improves a home’s overall appeal and as such, a fitted wardrobe feels like a ‘nice to have’ that’s a real perk to a potential buyer.
