Why Cheaper Fitted Bedroom Designs are the Way to Go
Monday, July 18th, 2011Normally, it is better to buy quality goods. Of course, this also means paying top drawer prices. But it is usually worth it because better quality products just last longer. However, your first fitted bedroom design should be a cheap one. Why?
Because you need to work your way up. Speaking of working your way up, your first pieces of furniture for your bedroom should be bought flat-pack. Flat-packed stand-alone wardrobes and bedroom furniture are easy to move around. You can easily rearrange your bedroom and test new layouts and decor. If you place two wardrobes side—by-side along one wall, and it seems too much, you can easily move one wardrobe away or even out of your bedroom. You cannot do that with an expensive fitted wardrobe.
Once you have a good idea of what you like and what works well in your bedroom, you can graduate to a cheap fitted bedroom wardrobe to test out your ideas. Once you have used your first fitted bedroom for five or ten years, you will KNOW what is good and what is not. You will KNOW how many drawers you need, how many shelves, how much space you need for hanging your clothes up in the wardrobe. Once you KNOW, you can move on to the next step – ordering bespoke fitted bedroom furniture.
Another name for this type of furniture is custom bedroom furniture. You will consult with the bespoke furniture shop’s designer, tell him what you want and do not want, and he will create a customized design based on what you told him. Once you approve the design, he will pass the blueprint on to the contractor who will build and install the fittings.
When you buy this kind of premium furniture, you ask for it to be made of hardwoods like oak. Your bespoke fitted wardrobe (as well as the other custom furniture in your bedroom) is an investment. It will cost you a bundle, but it should last you the rest of your life. It will be your last piece of bedroom furniture, and you will never do any major renovations on your bedroom ever again.
Fitted bedroom furniture is too expensive to change often. That is why you should test out what works best for you using cheap flat-pack furniture. Once you think you know what you want, test out your ideas with a cheap fitted wardrobe. When you KNOW your ideas work, you get a major renovation done on your bedroom and order yourself a good quality custom fitted bedroom.
