Your Guide To Luxury Fitted Wardrobes:
Bespoke And Built-In Beautifully By Acorn

Skilled cabinet maker Thomas Streeter established Acorn Bespoke Carpentry and Joinery in Surrey almost two decades ago. His carpentry company is acclaimed for producing high quality bespoke fitted furniture, including luxury fitted wardrobes, for properties in Guildford, Weybridge, Cobham, Cranleigh, Horsham and across Surrey and West Sussex.

Here Thomas answers some of the questions his company Bespoke by Acorn receive from homeowners in Surrey and Sussex about luxury fitted wardrobes.

What is a bespoke fitted wardrobe?

A bespoke fitted wardrobe is a custom-built piece of cabinetry that can be any width, height or depth to seamlessly fit the space. It is a permanent fixture that fills every gap making all the available space useful and functional for storage.

Why are bespoke fitted wardrobes popular?

Bespoke fitted wardrobes are highly sought after by homeowners in the South-East. This is because there are many types of properties in the region, all with different storage challenges. This might be due to the small rooms in a terraced house or cottage; lack of space in a converted apartment; inadequate storage in a newbuild house, or bedrooms with a chimney breast and sloping ceiling in period properties.

Why do people choose Acorn for their fitted wardrobes?

People come to Acorn for our joinery expertise in constructing fitted wardrobes and built-in furniture. They want a high-quality, made-to-measure storage solution that will fit perfectly within their bedroom’s unique dimensions and integrates seamlessly with their décor and architecture. This creates a cohesive and uncluttered look in the room. Your built-in wardrobes can be designed to appear as though they have always been part of the room’s construction, and not an add-on feature, like these white minimalist wardrobes for sloped ceiling. Traditionally constructed in wood, fitted wardrobes will also last far longer than a freestanding wardrobe. 

Are fitted wardrobes suitable for period properties?

Fitted wardrobes are a great choice for period properties because they can be customised to complement existing architectural features. They’re particularly suited for making the most of those awkward spaces and uneven walls often found in older buildings. A room with sloping ceilings or alcoves, for instance, can be difficult to furnish with standard cupboards. With fitted furniture you won’t be left with any awkward gaps or hard-to-clean corners. The traditional skills of our Acorn team mean we can build wardrobes to match the period style of the property and enhance a home’s character with any kind of ornate detailing.

Can Acorn fitted wardrobes be fully customised?

With a Bespoke by Acorn wardrobe, you can tailor the layout, door styles and features of your fitted wardrobes to suit your exact preferences. Having custom made fitted wardrobes means you’re not restricted to an existing range of limited options from a specific brand. These striking shaker style wardrobe doors were crafted by us in a bold blue with modern bar handles. We can tailor every element from lockable drawers and lighting through to shelving configurations and shoe carousels.

What are the advantages of hinged door wardrobes?

Hinged door wardrobes are a classic, practical design that suits all kinds of bedroom spaces and styles. Hinged doors allow for ample storage and easy access to every item. This style of wardrobe door also allows for the addition of mirrors, hooks and slim pockets for extra storage.

What are the advantages of sliding door wardrobes?

A sliding wardrobe door is a panel that glides horizontally along a track, rather than swinging open like a hinged door. This makes it a space-saving design that’s ideal for a compact area or small bedroom it allows you to place other furniture close to the wardrobe without causing any obstruction. Sliding door wardrobes can be customised in any style, such as mirrored, wood or glass, but often have a modern, sleek look which can enhance the aesthetic of the bedroom.

What are the advantages of mirrored door wardrobes?

Mirrored wardrobe doors are a popular choice because of their ability to make a room feel much brighter and more spacious by reflecting light. The doors also offer the advantage of providing a full-length mirror, so a separate full-length one wouldn’t be required. Mirrored doors can be sliding, hinged or panelled with a combination of mirror and wood or other material.

What is a fitted walk-in wardrobe?

A walk-in wardrobe is a designated, customised space, created specifically for storing garments, footwear and accessories. Unlike a traditional wardrobe, a walk-in wardrobe typically has open shelves and hanging rails to provide a clear view of your collection.

What is a fitted dressing room?

A fitted dressing room is a private, dedicated space for storing and organising clothes and accessories, with extra facilities such as a dressing table, seating and vanity unit, for getting ready. Unlike a walk-in wardrobe’s open storage with everything on show, a dressing room has custom-built, closed storage. With bespoke dressing room wardrobes the doors, finish and handles can reflect your personal style and all add luxury and glamour to the space.
