So I have seen a pattern recently.  Every new build home owner I visit says the same thing, "There's just no storage", or "They wanted too much money for the extras".   

Even though the quality of the insulation is great, the windows fitted with longevity in mind and the house built to regulated standards, there is still a hole in the design.  A space that needs to be filled.

The property I visited yesterday on Bridgefields had zero storage.  The space was there, but there was nothing in it.  The client explained to me that they were offered a fitted wardrobe at point of sale, but due to the escalating costs of the extras (lawn, patio (2 slabs) and fence. . .  i know) they decided against the wardrobe for their master bedroom.  

It was a good job they did too, because I have seen what these 'wardrobes' look like and are made from.  Firstly, they are not proper wardrobes, they are a framework and doors with no internals. 
They simply hang a rail in the space, then roughly build a frame for the doors to go on and that's it.  I've seen them, I've owned them and they are not worth the money.  What's more, most of the doors they buy are mass produced, not custom sized and also usually end of line.  So you can see they make a fast buck, and then you have to live with it.

For around £3000 which is the average price for 2 double wardrobes made from just these facades, which are worth about £200 at the most, you could get so much more for your money from a custom build.  Obviously what we are here for!  But this isn't a sales pitch really, it's just an opinion that the quality of the house builds is increasing but the quality of the inclusions is decreasing.  Yet the house prices for new builds still rise.

If you are in a new build or looking to buy, we are happy to do a comparative costing for you to have custom wardrobes built and fitted by us. 

In essence we could probably save you money, and also save you from the disappointment of the substandard wardrobes on sale by the builders. 

There are many reasons why a fitted wardrobe is essential these days.  Organisation is key to relaxation and releasing stress.  Having a wardrobe that is fit for purpose and made to suit your individual needs means you will always have a tidy bedroom space.  Come home from work, shower, find all of your clothes in all the places you designed for them to be, hung up, folded, in pullout drawers or in organised storage boxes.  It makes your home time relaxing, simple and stress free.

​This new wardrobe you need is going to give your room a HUGE makeover.  With a fitted wardrobe there are lots of elements to consider that will improve your room and impress your friends. 

Exotic an high end real wood veneers can create a striking interior, much like an expensive Ted Baker suit, outside it looks sleek and sophisticated, inside it reveals stunning patterns and colours.  Fitted wardrobes with us are never boring.

When you make do with a rickety old pine standalone wardrobe, or a hand me down MFI wardrobe, you never realise the true potential of your space.  Ashford wardrobes incorporate every possible part of your available space and turn it into a haven of storage.   

Fitted wardrobes from us can feature pullouts, tie racks, double height hanging, split level hanging, shoe racks, storage box shelving, integrated lighting and so much more.  

​

When potential buyers come to look at houses, they are looking for convenience.  People always say they will renovate a house with a 'new bathroom' and a 'new kitchen'.  Well, what about the bedrooms? 

If there is no fitted wardrobe, then how will the buyers picture the convenience of living there?  It is just as important as the rest of your house.   ​

Never has any client ever come to us and said "You know what, i think i preferred not having enough space" or "My room looked much more up to date with the old pine wardrobe my nan gave me".  Lets be honest, if you bought that new car you wanted, you wouldn't miss the old banger you got rid of.
