One way in which opulent homes stay looking that way is with some clever and super-stylish storage. There’s nothing like some fitted cabinetry, made with the finest materials, designed just for your needs and dressed in your chosen colours, to make your interiors stand out.
The most magnificent storage doesn’t just have plenty of clever ways to store your household items, but it also has features to display chosen objects beautifully. Perhaps you’re looking to tidy away your day-to-day clothes, but you’d love to showcase your designer handbag collection – your bespoke wardrobes will be able to do this perfectly.
When you move into your new home, you’ll likely be faced with a blank canvas and so it’s time to put your stamp on it with the help of a professional. This is why we’ve looked to the experts at bespoke furniture company Leileier to guide us on some of the best ways you can utilise fitted furniture in your glamorous new abode.
Walk in wardrobe
As we touched on above, bedrooms and dressing rooms will benefit hugely by having some built-in wardrobes to tidy away and display clothes, shoes, bags, belts, hair and body care items, jewellery, makeup and the like. Here, you can create areas to display smaller items or have unique touches designed just for you – for example, if you have a penchant for hats and you wish to display them in a fun way. Drawers galore, built-in seating and a layout just for you, what’s not to love about your very own custom closet?
Kitchens
When designing a new kitchen, one of the most important aspects is planning how your new layout will work best for you as well as ensuring that your brand-new space is as stylish as they come. Consider how much storage you’ll need compared to how much space you have, will you/do you have room for a kitchen island or peninsula? One of our favourite kitchen features is a built-in corner or curved bench to dine at, while pantry cupboards will benefit from expert storage solutions.
Bathroom cabinets
One thing that bathrooms in glossy magazines always lack is all of the day-to-day items we use when getting ready for the day ahead or an imminent night’s sleep, and those items can certainly pile up. This is where fitted cabinets, using moisture resistant materials, come in very handy to store away unsightly items and clutter that we need but don’t necessarily want to see at all times.
Living room
Though the days of DVDs are quickly fading, there’s still a great need to source some fitted furniture in your living room to give it the grand look it deserves. Books may be finding their way onto our little screens more often, but many people are rejecting this in favour of physical copies with pages they can flip through and feel. Display shelves are also a great way to showcase beautiful trinkets and collectibles that have been gifted to you or collected throughout your travels.
Under stair storage
An often awkward spot, but one that could certainly benefit from some clever storage solutions, the under stair space is actually full of possibilities. One trend we are seeing more of is pull-out drawers that house all of the household’s shoes, but more creative options consist of resplendent wine storage, mini libraries and even an at-home bar area.
Utility organisation
There’s little more satisfying than opening the door to a well organised space, and the utility room is one place where you will thank yourself for installing a selection of fitted furniture. Organise your space carefully and section off areas into laundry, car, garden, pets, tools, and other household items. With every little item having its own space, there will be no need for clutter, and by using a company that creates bespoke furniture, you’re sure to have a stylish space as well as a practical one.
A space where fitted cabinetry really comes into its own, loft conversions can often have awkward, hard to reach areas and so making use of that dead space with built-in cupboards is a no-brainer. Pull out drawers to make way for shoes to be stored, cupboards to pop storage boxes into, even wardrobes to make the best of the space, there’s more to be done here than you may think.
