Frequently Asked Questions About Built-in Furniture
What’s the difference between built-in and freestanding furniture?
Built-in furniture is custom-designed and permanently installed to fit specific spaces in your home, while freestanding furniture can be moved around. Built-in solutions maximize space utilization, especially in alcoves, under stairs, or around awkward architectural features. They’re particularly valuable for storage as they use every available inch and can be designed to hide utilities like boilers or radiators while providing additional functionality.
What types of built-in furniture do you create?
We create a wide range of built-in furniture including fitted wardrobes and bedroom storage, bespoke bookcases and shelving systems, alcove cabinets, home office furniture, boiler cupboards, custom cabinets for any room, radiator covers, and floating shelves. Each piece is designed specifically for your space and requirements, ensuring perfect fit and maximum functionality while complementing your home’s existing style.
Can built-in furniture work in small spaces?
Absolutely! Built-in furniture is often the perfect solution for small spaces because it’s designed to maximize every inch available. We can create storage solutions that fit into corners, alcoves, under staircases, or around existing fixtures. Built-in furniture can make small rooms feel larger by eliminating visual clutter and creating clean, streamlined storage that doesn’t protrude into the living space like freestanding furniture would.
How do you handle utilities like pipes or electrical when installing built-in furniture?
We’re experienced in working around existing utilities and can design built-in furniture that accommodates pipes, electrical outlets, heating elements, and other fixtures. For items like boiler cupboards or radiator covers, we ensure proper ventilation and access while concealing unsightly utilities. We always check for services before installation and can coordinate with other trades if any modifications are needed to utilities during the installation process.
What happens if I move house – can I take built-in furniture with me?
Built-in furniture is designed to be permanent fixtures that add value to your property. While some pieces like floating shelves might be removable, most built-in furniture like fitted wardrobes or alcove units become part of the house structure. However, this adds significant value to your property and is often a selling point for potential buyers. If you’re planning to move soon, we can discuss more modular solutions that might offer some portability.
How long does it take to design and install built-in furniture?
The timeline depends on the complexity and size of your project. Simple floating shelves or a single wardrobe might take 2-3 weeks from design to completion. Larger projects like full room fitted furniture or multiple built-in pieces could take 4-8 weeks. This includes design consultation, precise measuring, manufacturing time in our workshop, and professional installation. We provide realistic timelines during consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
