Customising Your Bedroom Furniture Including Sliding Wardrobes

It’s important to have a sense of what you want to achieve when customising your bedroom furniture. What sort of final look are you going for? What will you need to accomplish the task? It’s also a good idea to research ideas and techniques before you begin.

Whether you have decided on a modern direction or have opted to take a more traditional route, it’s important to ensure that all of your bedroom furniture will be able to blend in with your new scheme. A piece of furniture that doesn't quite match can potentially ruin the whole theme.

There’s also the general kind of furniture to take into consideration. There are pieces of large and small free-standing furniture that are popular.  Alternatively, some prefer the uniform nature of made to measure fitted furniture. How you customise will depend very much on the kind of furniture you are dealing with.

It might be a good idea to consult furniture specialists who are experts in making pieces of furniture that specifically fit into certain locations. They can also advise on colour schemes and styles and let you know the pros and cons of each.

Sliding door wardrobes – Wardrobes with sliding doors are perfect for customisation and can really help with specific storage needs. You can decide how many shelves and drawers you would like and how you would like the interior of the wardrobe to function to suit your requirements in the best way possible.

Beds - Beds too can be custom made and made to measure and once more, you should consult specialists before making decisions regarding sizes and styles.

Above, we have mentioned some of the more expensive items of bedroom furniture that are customisable but if your budget is smaller, there are still things you can do to customise your room

Headboards – The easiest way to customise your existing bed is to either buy a new headboard or even revamp the existing one! Cushioned headboards are really popular at the moment and are sure to look modern. If you want to customise your existing one, you can do so fairly easily with some wadding, buttons and some suede fabric.

Handles – By removing all of the handles from your doors, wardrobes and draws, you can spray them a completely different colour to match your new theme. If your budget is slightly larger, a new set of handles can also help to transform each piece of furniture.

Painting – Sanding down existing pieces of furniture and painting them in a colour to complement your planned décor  is a great way to make big changes for little money. Give each surface a couple of coats of spray varnish (on top of the paint) to help prevent scratches. Once the re-done handles are also attached, you will have furniture that has been really nicely customised and works well with your interior design project.
