The bedroom should epitomise calm, refuge and comfort. But all too often, with a floor covered in discarded clothes, walls undecorated and unloved, and clutter causing congestion in every corner, it’s a place where the magic very much doesn’t happen. It doesn’t have to be this way; a clean room which channels the energy of a sense of order can also be a very comforting one indeed. With that in mind, we’ve teamed up with fitted wardrobes by FCI London to bring you these; our 5 IDEAL reasons to get a fitted wardrobe.
A CLUTTER FREE BEDROOM
Imagine going to sleep and waking up each morning to a clean bedroom that’s completely clutter free. Such an ideal isn’t out of reach. The bedroom should be a place to relax and wind down, and the enemy of calm is, surely, clutter. And the biggest clutter culprit in most bedrooms? A poorly functioning wardrobe, of course. Enter the fitted wardrobe, which aids diligent decluttering, keeping items neatly stored when they’re not being used and granting easier access to outfits as and when you need them.
PERSONALISE IT TO YOUR NEEDS
Do you own loads of trainers? Are your drawers overflowing with lingerie? Or do you need somewhere to safely store all of your jewellery so it won’t get all tangled up? The good news is this; fitted wardrobes are 100% customisable and can accomodate your specific storage needs via a clever combination of drawers, shelves and different sized compartments.
Whether you want your wardrobe to disappear into the walls of your bedroom or be the centre of attention (move over bed, there’s a new piece in town) showcasing your favourite accessories, personalised wardrobe makers have the skills and wherewithal to design one specifically for your specific needs. Fitted wardrobes come in all shapes and sizes. As such, they’re versatile, adaptable pieces. However small or awkward your bedroom space appears, there’s a fitted wardrobe perfect for it.
TIME SAVING
We’ve all been there, wasting valuable time before a night out or making ourselves late for work in the morning, hunting the room for a matching pair of socks, a clean pair of boxers or the right skirt for the rest of our outfit. This is all a thing of the past with a fitted wardrobe, where everything has its own place and the anally retentive are left satisfied. Yep, no more time is wasted searching for the final piece of the outfit puzzle.
MORE OUTFIT OPTIONS
It’s all too easy to forget about clothes you own when they’re lurking at the back of your wardrobe or at the bottom of your chest of drawers, gathering dust, attracting moths and generally feeling a little left out. However, with a fitted wardrobe, everything has a place. Because of this, you’ll rediscover long lost pieces and find a new purpose for stuff which you may have benched prematurely.
INCREASE THE LIFE OF YOUR CLOTHES
Did you know that if you store your clothes incorrectly you can ruin them? It’s all too easy to shove all your clothes into the back of your wardrobe or in plastic bags in the basement, and hope for them to simply shrink, but this can turn your home into a cluttered disaster and damage your clothing permanently.
When it comes to storing our out of season clothes, most of us are doing it wrong. Since a built in wardrobe maximises storage space, you can store your lesser used, out of season items high up, hard to reach shelves. When a new season rolls around, you can switch things up. If you want your bedroom to be a haven of peace, then you don’t want clutter to intrude on your relaxation; it’s that simple.
