Benefits of Oak Fitted Wardrobes

Oak fitted wardrobes are a standout choice when it comes to bedroom furniture, offering a blend of style, practicality, and lasting value. One of the key benefits of oak fitted wardrobes is their ability to provide extensive storage solutions, with generous hanging space and drawer space designed to keep clothes, accessories, and belongings neat and tidy. Whether you need to maximize wardrobe space in a compact room or want to make the most of your floor space in a larger bedroom, these wardrobes can be custom built to suit your exact storage requirements. Additionally, oak fitted wardrobes can be tailored to any size or shape of room, making them a versatile option for various architectural layouts.

The beauty of solid oak wardrobes lies not only in their durability but also in their timeless appeal. Solid wood wardrobes, especially those crafted from oak, are known for their strength and resilience, ensuring your investment stands the test of time. Oak is a dense hardwood known for its strength and resilience, capable of withstanding daily wear and tear for decades. The natural grain and warmth of oak add a touch of luxury and sophistication to any interior, perfectly complementing both modern and classic looks. For those seeking a rustic oak finish or a more contemporary style, oak fitted wardrobes offer a great choice of colours and accessories to match your vision.

Functionality is at the heart of every oak fitted wardrobe. With options like sliding doors for a sleek, space-saving solution, and a full range of internal configurations, you can create the perfect wardrobe to organize your clothes and accessories. The extensive range of storage solutions means everything has its place, helping you maintain a tidy and stylish bedroom. These wardrobes can be up to 40% more efficient than freestanding units by eliminating awkward gaps and wasted space, ensuring every inch of your room is utilized effectively.

Working with experienced interior designers, you can take advantage of a free design visit to discuss your needs and preferences. The whole process, from initial consultation to installation, is designed to be fuss free and tailored to your lifestyle. Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit to ensure the bespoke design works with the room’s architecture. Oak fitted wardrobes are installed to a high standard, ensuring excellent quality and a seamless fit within your room.

Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury retreat or a practical, modern space, oak fitted wardrobes are a versatile and stylish solution. Their combination of solid wood construction, classic design, and customizable features makes them an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their bedroom with furniture that is both beautiful and functional. With oak fitted wardrobes, you can create a dream bedroom that reflects your style and meets your storage needs for years to come.

The bedroom where the project was located had a wall-size 4m long and 2.4m high, with the fitted wooden wardrobes designed to run along the walls of the bedroom. That was the space for which we designed the layout and storage functions of the wardrobe.

The internal configuration of this fitted bedroom is a combination of shelves, hanging rails, eight extra deep soft closing drawers providing extra storage, and bespoke cupboards as part of the custom storage solution. The carcases were made of sturdy 18mm MDF covered with Solid oak veneer. The shaker-style doors were made of solid oak elements finished with satin Varnish. The visual effect is completed with traditional mat black steel handles, and the natural colour of the oak complements the room’s palette. All furniture elements were made to measure in our workshop.

We could also ensure that every detail will be manufactured with attention and a professional approach by our experienced team that makes the difference between mass-produced and tailored products.

Our experienced team is also available to offer advice during the design and planning stages, helping you make the best choices for your space.

Installation stage of the fitted wardrobe.

Installation of the fitted furniture is another integral and critical part of the project which impacts the final result of previous stages of the project. In that field again we can provide high-quality service and are committed to delivering excellent service throughout the installation process. In the case of ordering furniture from JS DECO, we consider the installation in all earlier stages of design and production so everything is prepared that way so it will suit when our time comes to fit the furniture.

The budget for this kind of furniture may vary depending on the size and components which will be used in the design and production. But usually, this premium range of fitted bedrooms oscillates between £8k and £15k including installation. Solid oak fitted wardrobes are generally a significant initial investment compared to engineered wood or flat-pack options, but their durability and timeless appeal make them a worthwhile choice for many homeowners.
