Discover the ultimate guide to the different types of fitted wardrobes available from Custom Creations, including walk-in wardrobes and sliding door wardrobes.

As spring is arriving, it’s a great time for a “spring clean” – decluttering and tidying up your space is a great way to make your home feel refreshed for the months to come. If you’re upgrading the storage in your bedroom, fitted wardrobes are the way to go.

Unlike their freestanding counterparts, fitted wardrobes are custom made to the perfect size and style for your room, so you can maximise every inch you’ve got while keeping your space clutter-free and stylish.

Keep reading this blog as we take a look at the different types of fitted wardrobes and help you discover which one is right for you.

Sliding Door Wardrobes

If you want a sleek, space saving wardrobe that doesn’t take up extra room when open, a sliding door wardrobe might be the one for you. These doors glide effortlessly along a track, making them a great option for compact spaces or modern, minimalist interiors. Our expert designers recommend opting for mirrored sliding door wardrobes in smaller rooms, as this will bounce light around the room to create the illusion of a bigger space.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • They’re perfect for smaller bedrooms where space is restricted
  • There are a variety of finishes available including mirrored glass to contemporary wood
  • The interiors are fully customisable with hanging space, shelves and hidden drawers.

Walk-In Wardrobes

If you’re dreaming about having your own dedicated dressing space, a walk-in wardrobe is the perfect choice for fashion lovers. With plenty of room for open shelves, hanging rails and drawers for accessories, it’s the best way to keep everything organised. Our favourite way to style walk-in wardrobes uses a combination of open and closed storage to keep things tidy while being able to display your favourite pieces.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Customisable layouts with a mix of rails, drawers, shelves and shoe racks
  • Extra optional features like a built-in dressing table, seating or an island for extra storage
  • Integrated lighting that creates ambience and a way to highlight any pieces on display
  • The perfect combination of luxury and practical storage solutions

Overbed & Corner Wardrobes

Got an awkward space or unused corner? Make use of wasted space with a built-in overbed wardrobe or corner wardrobe - the smartest way to make every inch of room count without disrupting the layout of your room. Corner wardrobes are designed to fit perfectly into tight spaces and offer plenty of storage to keep your room clutter-free.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • They’re perfect for small and odd-shaped rooms
  • Customise the inside to include hanging rails, shelves, and drawers
  • Eliminate wasted space in areas that wouldn’t normally be utilised

Hinged Wardrobes

For a classic and flexible storage solution, hinged wardrobes are a fantastic choice. These fitted wardrobes feature doors that open outwards, offering easy access to your entire wardrobe space while remaining stylish. We love pairing hinged wardrobes with elegant handles and soft-close mechanisms to add a luxurious touch.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Provides full visibility and easy access to your storage
  • They work well in both contemporary and traditional interiors
  • Fully customisable with various interior layouts, finishes and fixtures
