Our experience as interior designers means we get the space planning right for the room, and also means that the wardrobes and furniture we install within it gives you everything you need. Our cabinet making expertise allows you to have the bedroom of your dreams !\u00a0 Here are a few ideas\u00a0 and handy tips to help you think about your bedroom space and how it can be designed to its full potential.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Wardrobes and Furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your wardrobe is usually the biggest piece of furniture in your bedroom, apart from the bed, meaning it has a huge impact on the look of the room. Having ample storage means less clutter elsewhere,\u00a0 so the design inside is almost as important as how a wardrobe looks on the outside. Choosing the right wardrobe style matters \u2013 and that\u2019s true whether you\u2019re a shopaholic or a minimalist in the shoes, bags and clothing department ! When buying your bedroom furniture and wardrobes, be realistic and think about your needs, especially if you share a wardrobe with your other half. Its all very well if you choose a lovely freestanding wardrobe, but\u00a0 do you actually need a\u00a0 bank of sliding doors or fitted wardrobes that extend wall to wall floor to ceiling and around the room in order to give you what you need!\u00a0 Consider every inch of the interior of your wardrobe and what you need, there\u2019s no end to the\u00a0 ways you can organise it.\u00a0 Integral lighting, built in safes, jewellery drawers, handbag hooks, shoe drawers,belt racks, scarf rails&#8230;&#8230;and on and on and on !!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Use your alcoves<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s common sense to use alcoves for wardrobes in a bedroom, built-in wardrobes either side of a fireplace not only looks timeless, but maximise storage space. You will add a feature to the room, and also add value to your bedroom with quality bespoke fixtures.\u00a0 Choose\u00a0 hand painted plain shaker doors for a simple elegant and classic look. If you have the luxury of high ceilings use as much space as you can and go right to the ceiling, this will provide cupboards above your wardrobes which are perfect for storing items not required every day such as spare duvets, sheets and towels, or maybe even hat boxes ! Painted bespoke wardrobes like this will match any style of bed or other bedroom furniture, and the great thing is that you can repaint at any time to suit your interior colour scheme. These sort of built in wardrobes are a great investment, and will use every inch of available space. Also by using the depth of the alcoves for your wardrobes you acheive storage space without eating into much of you floor space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Design to fit<\/strong><br \/>\nFitted wardrobes are always a smart choice. They can be designed for the exact dimensions of your space, big or small, and you can plan the right combination of wardrobes, drawers and shelves for you. Their streamlined look stops rooms feeling cluttered and they are free of nooks and crannies that collect dust. At Inglish Design we often break a long run of wardrobes with a feature such as a bow front dressing table, or often we simply break front a section and add mirror or glass. This way you achieve a feature wall for your bedroom not just a block of cabinets. Mirrors or mirror panels will make the room feel larger, and also adds an air of glamour and luxury to any piece of furniture, and any room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sacrifice a corner, a cupboard or even a spare room !<\/strong><br \/>\nIf too many fitted wardrobes leave you cold, consider the very on-trend option which is a walk-in wardrobe. Dressing rooms are the latest &#8220;must have&#8221; in property, and can maximise small areas while hiding everything behind a door. Existing storage cupboards\u00a0 and awkward areas can easily be designed to become extra stroage spaces or walk in wardrobes.\u00a0 If you have an adjacent bedroom you can steal some dressing room space off this, or if you property has a good number of bedrooms already you might even sacrifice one bedroom. Inglish Design work on many larger properties where a spare bedroom is re-invented and made into an ensuite bathroom and dressing room. This is a great way to create a master suite within your property, as well as provide you with extra storage and bathroom facilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mimic the gentlemen\u2019s club look<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy not make a walk-in cupboard or dressing room with an assortment of drawers for socks and undies, and cupboards for shirts, ties and belts &#8211; a super organised masculine space can be created from a small room or large cupboard. Leaving the bedroom for beautiful feminine wardrobes and chest of drawers for the lady of the house. Most men require less wardrobes space, and if it is totally organised and well designed this can be an excellent way to divide &#8220;his&#8221; and &#8220;hers&#8221; space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Install sliding doors<\/strong><br \/>\nA bank of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors is a popular way to make the most of potential storage space in a room; the doors usually run on tracks fitted to the floor and ceiling. There is no need for a carcass behind your doors, simple hanging and shelves work. Any look works in terms or modern or traditional doors, but large doors work better &#8211; so more often than not this lends itself better to a more contemporary bedroom.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Accessories heaven &#8211; Shoes<\/strong> <strong>and bags galore<\/strong><br \/>\nA wardrobe just for shoes and handbags might feel like an extravagance. But if your collection of heels is on the large side, and you can spare the wall space, it could well be worth it. A bespoke cabinet can be designed for the job in hand and nothing else, meaning no more scrunched and squashed boots languishing under suitcases or mysteriously missing sandals ! Such cabinets do not need to be very deep so can be built into a recess, under the stairs, or even as a freestanding feature piece of furniture.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Try modern and wooden<\/strong><br \/>\nDon\u2019t assume wooden equals super-traditional or awful retro, a contemporary wooden wardrobe with simple lines can transform any bedroom. Walnut and oak furniture adds a warmth and depth to a room. A popular trend at the moment is dark walnut paired with light carpets adn curtains in creams and taupe colours. The size of your room and ceiling height will dictate what works visually, but be bold and you will never regret a timber wardrobe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cash in the Attic<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attic conversions add value to any property. A clever design and the inclusion of a dormer or two can increase the usable floor space dramatically. Inglish Design have worked on many properties where attic conversions have been created to add another bedroom, a playroom, a cinema room\u00a0 or a full master suite. Because we can manufacture to any shape and size, sloping ceilings can be incorporated into wardrobe designs allowing every inch of space to be used.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Think Luxury hotel !<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Think of what gives a luxury hotel bedroom the wow factor &#8211; it can easily be replicated at home.\u00a0 Include great lighting, a feature headboard, a dressing table,\u00a0 an integrated safe, a small bar area, a large mirror with sockets and lighting, a sound system with ceiling speakers, abuilt in tv, door activated wardrobe lighting,\u00a0 &#8211;\u00a0 Why not ??!!
