Fitted wardrobes and cupboards can make an amazing difference to a room. Modern, clean lines will enhance the visual appeal while at the same time creating a surprising amount of storage. Today most house builders will install fitted furniture as standard practice in bedrooms and kitchens in new homes. But many older houses have alcoves and awkward shapes which often end up being wasted space as standard free standing furniture will simply not fit, but a wardrobe, desk, table or cupboard can be fitted perfectly thereby squaring off an awkward shaped room and making the most of any space. The downside to fitted furniture is of course the cost, it is usually much more expensive than flat-pack mass produced items from your local Ikea or DIY store.

The price of fitted wardrobes will largely be determined by the size and the materials specified. But there is no need to spend a fortune with a large furniture design company, a decent local carpenter can make a straightforward frame and add doors to your specification with various types of wood available and prices to suit almost all budgets. In terms of cost, MDF or pine are the cheapest materials with solid hardwoods being more expensive. The most popular type of fitted furniture request we see is to make one whole wall into fitted wardrobes. This can look extremely attractive and give the room a minimalist look with all clutter hidden behind the wardrobe doors. Depending on the size, materials and design, this type of project can cost anywhere between £500 and £10,000.
