Bedroom Shelving Guide
When it comes to bespoke fitted shelving within a bedroom, the benefits are obvious. Not only do these clever pieces of fitted furniture maximise your storage space, they also provide aesthetic cohesion, slotting perfectly into your fitted bedroom.
The Sliding Door Wardrobe Company can create bespoke fitted shelving designs that chime with your preferred interior style, while effortlessly delivering extra storage space.
Bedroom shelves
Fitted shelving is the perfect way to enhance your bedroom, slotting neatly into place next to your fitted hinged wardrobe or sliding door wardrobe.
Here at The Sliding Door Wardrobe Company, we can design bedroom shelving in a range of different shapes, sizes and colour palettes to suit your aesthetic and practical requirements. Our personalised designs allow you to utilise previously unused space, such as the narrow areas between large windows or the space above your bed.
A fitted shelf in the bedroom can be wall-to-wall – much like fitted bookcases – offering extra storage space and the chance to display your favourite ornaments or photographs.
Place candles along your shelves to create a warm glow in the evenings, or enhance your little one’s storage shelving unit by displaying their favourite cuddly toys amongst treasured books and photographs.
If you are especially low on space, try placing the wall shelves for your bedroom above your doorway for a quirky way to display special ornaments or trailing plants. Just make sure you don’t need to use these items regularly, as they will be harder to reach when up there!
Fitted bedroom shelves are perfect for creating a curated, organised space that expresses your personality through positioning and colour.
Wardrobe with shelves
Bespoke shelving inside fitted wardrobes offers additional storage space and organisational opportunities, while ensuring that the wardrobe interior is personalised to meet your needs.
If you place a clothes rail and shelf inside your fitted wardrobe, it quickly becomes a multi-functional piece of furniture. A wardrobe with shelves is an especially good investment if you are short on space.
Add a mirror to the space above your fitted shelf and the area becomes a dressing table, perfect for applying makeup or skincare in the mornings. Or, add some simple downlights to your fitted shelves and they become the perfect display space for shoes, bags and accessories.
If you have a larger space, you might want to opt for a walk-in wardrobe, complete with plenty of extra shelving and even a fitted media wall to house a TV, stereo or record player. This can truly enhance your dressing routine, helping you curate a private personal space away from the bustle of modern life.
Bedside shelf
Fitted bedroom shelving beside your bed provides ease of access during the evening and night, while also allowing for the display of treasured items throughout the day.
A fitted bedside shelf ensures extra floor space around your bed and provides a neater, sleeker finish than a freestanding piece of furniture. You can pair your bedside shelf with the rest of your fitted bedroom – using complementary colours and designs – or opt for an unusual style to make a true statement.
Your fitted beside shelf will fit snugly next to your bed, perfect for storing books, journals, phone chargers and more. It will also lend your room a pleasing contemporary feel, giving the illusion that the shelf is ‘floating’, with the space beneath available for further storage.
Bedroom shelving can also be installed above the bed for even more storage space. Placing books on shelves around your bed can give your room a rustic, artistic feel – perfect for bookworms! Or, you could opt for a few stylised, abstract ornaments to bring a simplistic, modern feel to your space.
Please note that the installation of fitted shelving around – and especially above – your bed should only be done by experienced fitters for safety purposes.
