The idea behind a fitted wardrobe is simple. Instead of buying a free standing wardrobe closet or free standing armoire closet, a fitted wardrobe can be installed in your home, providing cabinet and closet space that literally fits into the design of your home.
For instance, a fitted wardrobe can be installed wherein which a base area is installed on the floor accompanied by two sides and a front sliding door panel. On the top, a filler panel is installed to extend to the ceiling. The back of the fitted wardrobe is actually the wall of the home.
This creates a floor to ceiling fitted wardrobe out of using this wall along with installing the base, top, two sides, and a sliding door in front. This type of fitted wardrobe combines design elements of both a “carcase wardrobe”, which has a back, and a “frame construction wardrobe”, which uses the existing wall as the back of the wardrobe closet.
Fitted wardrobes are a very popular design element in the United Kingdom. Within America and Canada, they have not yet caught on, as people seem fit to keep their old fashioned wardrobe armoires in place of installing a fitted wardrobe.
However, if more people learned of their advantages, they’d like be interested in pursuing a fitted wardrobe over these standard old fashioned free standing wardrobe closets. One advantage is that a fitted wardrobe can be easily uninstalled and reinstalled elsewhere.
This makes it both easier to move with and easier to set back up compared to a free standing closet, which is usually extremely heavy and bulky at the same time. Another big advantage – is that a person can usually get about twice as much space out of a fitted wardrobe than a wardrobe closet that would otherwise occupy the same amount of space. This is because the entire depth of the fitted wardrobe is accessible as well as the area above it, at least in the case of a built in “frame construction” style wardrobe.
Because of these reasons, coupled with the fact that a fitted wardrobe simply looks fantastic, they are surely going to only increase in popularity elsewhere in the world as they remain a strongly desired element in UK homes presently.
