Bespoke Wardrobes: Current Trends


1. Fitted Wardrobes: Maximising Space

Fitted wardrobes are designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing space, making the most of every nook and cranny. They provide a sleek, built-in look that can transform a room’s aesthetic while offering ample storage. Popular choices include floor-to-ceiling wardrobes that eliminate wasted space and create a streamlined appearance.

2. Luxurious Principal Suite Wardrobes

Principal suite wardrobes are evolving into luxurious personal retreats. These wardrobes often feature elegant finishes, integrated lighting, and custom storage solutions for shoes, accessories, and clothing. High-end materials like walnut, oak, and mirrored panels are common, adding a touch of opulence to the bedroom.

3. Functional Walk-In Wardrobes

Walk-in wardrobes are the epitome of luxury and functionality. Current trends emphasise intelligent design with sections for hanging clothes, shelving for accessories, and drawers for smaller items. Island units with built-in seating and mirrors enhance the usability and elegance of the space. Customisation options such as jewellery organisers and shoe racks make walk-in wardrobes a highly desirable feature.

4. Versatile Guest Wardrobes

Guest wardrobes are designed to be versatile and accommodating. They often incorporate flexible storage solutions that can easily adapt to various needs. Features like pull-out hanging rails, adjustable shelves, and integrated luggage racks are becoming popular. This trend ensures that guests have a comfortable and organised space to store their belongings.

5. Customisable Made to Measure Wardrobes

Made to measure wardrobes cater to individual preferences and specific space requirements. They offer unparalleled customisation, allowing homeowners to select everything from the layout and material to the type of handles and finishes. This trend is perfect for those who want a wardrobe that is tailored to their exact needs and style.

6. Handmade Wardrobes with Unique Details

Handmade wardrobes are gaining popularity for their craftsmanship and unique details. Artisans create these wardrobes with a focus on quality and individuality, often incorporating bespoke joinery techniques. Handmade wardrobes can feature intricate carvings, custom inlays, and unique finishes that set them apart from mass-produced options.

Bespoke Handmade Wardrobes: The Benefits


1. Perfect Fit and Maximised Space

Bespoke wardrobes are designed to fit your space perfectly, making use of every inch available. This ensures that even awkward corners or sloped ceilings are utilised effectively, providing more storage and a cleaner look.


2. Enhanced Organisation

Custom storage solutions in bespoke wardrobes allow for better organisation. With specific sections for different types of clothing and accessories, you can keep everything in its place. This reduces clutter and makes it easier to find what you need, streamlining your daily routine.


3. Personalised Style

Having a bespoke wardrobe means you can choose a design that reflects your personal style. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a more traditional, ornate design, bespoke wardrobes can be tailored to match your taste. This personalisation enhances the overall aesthetic of your home.


4. Increased Home Value

Investing in bespoke wardrobes can significantly increase the value of your home. Potential buyers often appreciate the quality and functionality of custom storage solutions, making your property more attractive on the market.


5. Durability and Quality

Bespoke wardrobes are built to last. The use of high-quality materials and craftsmanship ensures that your wardrobe will withstand daily wear and tear. This durability makes bespoke wardrobes a long-term investment that offers excellent value for money.


6. Improved Room Aesthetics

Fitted and built-in wardrobes contribute to a seamless, uncluttered look in your rooms. By eliminating freestanding furniture, you create a more spacious and cohesive environment. This improved aesthetic can make your home feel larger and more welcoming.
