Built in Wardrobe Ideas – Smart Bespoke Storage for Every Bedroom

If you’re looking for built-in wardrobe ideas, you’re probably looking to combine practical storage, with beautiful design. Fitted wardrobes have become an incredibly desirable bedroom upgrade, helping homeowners to maximise their space and reduce their clutter. At My Fitted Bedroom, we design, manufacture and install built-in wardrobes that are completely tailored to the bedroom they’re designed for, whether that’s a small spare bedroom, a loft conversion or a master bedroom with alcoves. In this blog, we’ll discuss some of our best built-in wardrobe ideas, to help inspire your next fitted furniture project…

Floor to Ceiling Built-In Wardrobes

One of the biggest advantages of built-in wardrobes is the ability to maximise the full height of a room. Floor to ceiling custom wardrobes create a seamless, fitted look, whilst dramatically increasing storage space when compared with standard wardrobes. This works incredibly well in small rooms, modern homes, apartments, rooms with high ceilings and more. Bespoke full height wardrobes eliminate wasted space above a wardrobe, which often becomes a dust trap otherwise too!

Built-In Wardrobes Around a Bed

A growing trend in fitted furniture is designing wardrobes around the bed itself, in order to create a luxurious, hotel-inspired bedroom. Features such as bedside shelving, overbed storage and media units are all incredible uses of space, alongside typical fitted wardrobes and drawers. This style works incredibly well in smaller bedrooms, where every inch of storage space matters and typical furniture is often difficult to fit.

Sliding Built-In Wardrobes

Sliding built-in wardrobes remain hugely popular for modern bedrooms, because the doors glide sideways, rather than opening outwards. These are brilliant for compact spaces or narrow rooms, where traditional hinged wardrobe doors might feel restrictive. Mirrored sliding wardrobes, glass sliding wardrobes and handle less sliding wardrobes are all popular choices. Mirror, glass, gloss or light coloured finishes are regularly chosen too, as they help smaller rooms feel larger by reflecting natural light throughout the space.

Built-In Wardrobes for Awkward Spaces

One of the main reasons homeowners invest in bespoke wardrobe is for situations where standard furniture simply won’t work. Custom wardrobes can be designed around sloped ceilings, alcoves, chimney breasts, windows, loft conversions, eaves storage and uneven walls. Instead of wasting these difficult spaces, bespoke wardrobes transform them into highly practical storage areas that are cohesive and stylish too.

Walk-In Wardrobe Ideas

If space allows, a bespoke walk-in wardrobe can completely transform a spare bedroom or space within a larger bedroom. Walk-in wardrobes create a dedicated dressing area, whilst providing storage and organisation that is second to none! Popular walk-in wardrobe features include open shelving, shoe displays, island storage, integrated lighting, dressing tables and more. A bespoke dressing room design means that your storage can be totally tailored to you and what you wish to store.

So, Are Built-In Wardrobes Worth It?

Many homeowners see built in wardrobes as a long term investment into practicality and property appeal. Bespoke wardrobes are specifically designed around you, helping you to become more organised and reduce clutter, whilst making spaces feel larger and more functional. They’re a premium feature that not only looks luxurious, but lasts significantly longer than their freestanding counterparts!
