Take heed of these 5 rules for buying, designing and fitting fitted wardrobes, cupboards and storage.
Customise
Consider inside storage, too – use adjustable rails, compartments and racks to create a purpose-built interior tailored to you.
Size-up
Work around features such as alcoves or bay windows with built-in cupboards, shelving and boxed-in storage that fi ts the space for a streamlined look.
Solve
Tackle awkwardly-shaped rooms and tricky spaces with a bespoke arrangement that factors in any problem areas and incorporates them into the design.
Stretch
Use all available space by exploiting both the height and width of a room to gain valuable extra inches.
Design
Keep décor co-ordinated with materials, fittings and finishes that complement your scheme, from modern high-gloss to rustic country-style paintwork.
