Is It Possible To Fit Wardrobes Into Corners?

These days, bedrooms are being squeezed in wherever they will fit. This is a result of families having more children and not being able to afford a larger house. This has meant that we need to get a little creative when it comes to storage in these rooms, as a traditional wardrobe will take up almost all of the available space. This has led many people to question whether it is possible to have a corner wardrobe fitted, as it will ensure that you have a place to store your clothes without taking up an entire wall.

Generally unused area
Take a look around your own bedroom. The space that is least likely to be used is the corner, usually because it makes access difficult. Having a wardrobe designed for this space, however, will ensure that you have full access to the clothing inside at the same time that you are making use of a generally unused area. This will also ensure that you have plenty of wall space for all of your other furniture, such as a bed and bedside tables.

Designed for functionality
Putting the wardrobe in the corner is one thing, but it's going to be completely useless if it doesn’t perform its function properly. Make sure that there is plenty of space to hang your clothes, some shelving or drawers for those folded items and potentially some floor space to keep your shoes. It is possible to come up with some clever designs that utilise the corner to your advantage and that don’t compensate on the amount of space you can use.

Unique look for the bedroom
As most people have a standard wardrobe placed along one wall in their room, opting for a corner one will instantly give your bedroom a unique look. People’s eyes will be drawn to the corner the moment they enter the space, and it's likely that they will enquire about the piece. Not only does this give you a chance to show off your nifty little wardrobe, it will introduce more people to the idea so that these sorts of designs become more commonplace.

Fitted or standalone
It is also possible to choose between a fitted and a standalone corner wardrobe, depending on your needs and preferences. If you are planning on staying in the home for a while, you will probably find that the fitted option is better suited to your needs. This will also help to increase the value of the home should you ever decide to sell. If you are only renting or think you will move soon, the standalone option will probably be most appropriate.

So, if you have a difficult bedroom that you need a wardrobe for (whether it is small and cramped or whether the placement of other features is a little on the ridiculous side), we recommend that you opt for a corner one. It is possible to have these pieces custom designed for your space, ensuring that it slots right into the corner and is perfect for your storage needs. The occupant of the bedroom will also be able to benefit from many of the other points outline above, such as having more space for other objects.
