As moving has been at the back of my mind, I've started to pay a little more attention to the houses for sale in the local paper and online. Something that's struck me is that quite a few houses seem to have built in furniture such as wardrobes. Built in furniture has never been something that's really appealed to me, in my mind it brings up memories of dated decor and, quite frankly, bad taste. The houses I've seen advertised with fitted furniture mostly seem to fit into this category as well. Which got me thinking.. Sometimes, it does make sense to have fitted furniture or wardrobes built in. There are some rooms that really do lend themselves to it, perhaps wardrobes fitted either side of a fireplace in a bedroom. Still, if I were to have built in wardrobes, I'd want them to look good. I'd want them to fit in. Not stick out like a sore thumb! After all, that's the point of built in furniture, isn't it? To save space and to fit in!
Having a bit of a browse online I have managed to find one place that offers modern fitted furniture. Urban Wardrobes. They seem to have a pretty well rounded collection to me. There are classic ranges like the Windsor shaker style range. I can see that working really well in period properties - I've always wanted a 1930's house, I could see this range fitting in!
If you're looking for something really modern, they have that covered too. Take the Liverpool Street range, I could see that looking fantastic in a city flat!
Something I'm really loving the look of is their range of built in bookcases. I could see these working in any home! I really want to have white walls and exposed floor boards in my next house. I wouldn't mind adding in one of these too then I wouldn't have to limit myself to how many books I keep anymore!
Do you make plans for your next house? It can't just be me! Any thoughts on fitted furniture?
