A bedroom can feel cluttered even when it does not contain many belongings. Sometimes the problem is not the amount of storage, but the way that storage uses the room.

Fitted sliding wardrobes can help make better use of the space available, especially when there is not much room for conventional wardrobe doors to open.

Use the full height of the room

A freestanding wardrobe may leave unused space above it. A fitted wardrobe can be planned to make use of more of the wall, giving you additional storage for spare bedding, seasonal clothing or items you do not need every day.

The height and shape of the room matter. If your bedroom has a sloping ceiling, low eaves or an alcove, a made-to-measure design can be shaped around those features.

Keep floor space clear

Traditional doors need space to swing open. In a bedroom where furniture is close to the wardrobe, this can make the room feel cramped or restrict access.

Sliding doors move across the front of the wardrobe, so they do not need the same clearance. This can make them a practical option for smaller bedrooms, narrow spaces or rooms with a layout that leaves little free floor space.

Design storage around your belongings

The inside of the wardrobe should match the way you use it. If you wear certain clothes every day, place them where they are easy to reach. Add hanging space for garments that crease easily, shelves for folded items and drawers for smaller belongings.

You may also want to plan a dedicated place for shoes, bags, belts or accessories. When everything has a place, it is easier to keep the room organised.

Make awkward areas useful

Alcoves and corners can be difficult to furnish with standard-sized pieces. They may leave gaps or make the room feel unfinished. A fitted wardrobe can be designed to work with the dimensions of the space, helping you use areas that might otherwise be left empty.

The most effective fitted sliding wardrobes are designed with the room and the person using it in mind. Vanda Design works with homeowners in Nottingham and the surrounding areas to create made-to-measure furniture for bedrooms with different layouts and storage needs.
