Hello
We are slowly getting around to tackling our bedroom and I really need some advice on what to do about wardrobes. The current fitted wardrobes take up one wall but don't actually offer much storage. The problem is the chimney breast is on that wall and the wardrobe has been brought a little bit out from it but not deep enough to be useful. It currently has some very narrow shelves only useful for putting toiletries on.
My partner wants to rip them out and replace them with two triple wardrobes and some drawers, I would rather put a fitted wardrobe in each alcove. I have lived in a flat with very good fitted wardrobes and know the great storage potential so don't really want freestanding. Mine had hanging rails, good deep drawers and open cubbyholes and held loads.
What is the consensus on fitted vs freestanding? Do they put off or attract potential buyers? Are fitted seen as a bit tacky? I like the Ikea ones but couldn't plan it the way I want it and would rather use a company who will come and measure and fit them.
