If you are tired of battling with wardrobes that are bursting with clothes, shoes, accessories and whatever else that can be squeezed in, it is time to consider adding more storage space to your bedroom. In the UK, our quirkily shaped houses often mean bedroom storage space comes at a premium making bespoke fitted wardrobes a very attractive solution. Unlike freestanding wardrobes, bespoke built-in wardrobes not only look great, they also allow for customisation to make the most of every inch of wardrobe space available.
How much do fitted wardrobes cost? I hear you say. Well, as always when working with bespoke solutions there is no hard and fast, one-size fits all answer. Choosing a large fitted bedroom retailer chain can be an expensive path to choose, and therefore we would always recommend finding a recommended local joiner that is approved by a trusted tradesperson. Here at Form Creations, we are proud members of Checkatrade where we are regularly vetted and monitored by their strict tradesperson checks to ensure we meet the highest standards of service and quality. Always have your joiner come and see the space so you can talk through what you are hoping to achieve. Your joiner will then be able to design something suitable (and bespoke) for you.
Price will always be determined by your specific requirements, but to give you a general guide here are the details and costs associated with two projects we have worked on recently. The first project was a large seven door wardrobe fit and the second is a standard two-door wardrobe fit:

We hope that these two, very different examples provide you with a good idea of how much fitted wardrobes cost when using a reputable, local joiner. Fitted wardrobes are without doubt, a fantastic investment that will make the most of every inch of wardrobe space available in your bedroom. A built-in wardrobe will not only create a mass of new storage options, it will also help to declutter your bedroom space and add value to your home.
