The benefits of bespoke storage solutions

We all have a need for storage, however, we often find ourselves with a lack of storage space. It is no wonder that many people are turning to bespoke storage solutions to help them store their belongings.

Bespoke storage solutions offer you the chance to have your own personalised solution made just for you, and they can be built in any shape or size that you need. This means that there is no need to compromise on what you want, and it will also mean that your bespoke storage solution will fit perfectly into your home, maximising the space available leaving nothing wasted using clever storage ideas.  This helps to create a clean and tidy home as there is plenty of space to put things away and stay organised.

The benefits of bespoke storage solutions in your home are many. They can be customised to suit your needs and tastes. You can have them installed where you need them most and you can store anything from clothes to books, toys to tools, shoes to sports equipment, helping you to simplify your home decor and your life.

You don’t have to worry about the hassle of moving everything around when you want something from the back of a cupboard anymore because all your items are at your fingertips. Having bespoke storage solutions in your home can make everything look neat and tidy, ensuring continuity with decor and style throughout your home. It can also make it easier to find items when you need them.  Plus, there are no gaps above or under the furniture collecting dust.

Not only can it improve your quality of life and the functionality of your home, but a bespoke build can be a good investment for your home, potentially increasing the value if it’s high quality and complements the home’s style and decor.

Custom-built storage ideas

Feeling sold, but not sure where to start?  Here are some popular ideas for bespoke storage solutions.

• Custom-made bookshelves

Custom bookshelves are a great way to create a library wall in any room of your house to your exact requirements.  Why not combine your TV unit with a bookshelf in a custom design to fit your space perfectly?  Not sure how this would look?  You can see it here to get an idea of exactly how this can be achieved.  They are a great way to get the perfect size and number of shelves for your needs.  This is really important because it means you don't have to compromise on what you want just because there isn't a standard size available.

• Personalised dressing rooms

Custom-built dressing rooms are a great idea for many different reasons. Firstly, it will be much easier to fit in all of the clothes, accessories, and shoes that you own as the design is tailored to your needs.  The dressing room will have a much more personal feel to it, unique to your home and not like anyone else’s; they are designed to suit the individual’s needs and tastes. You can use your own furniture if space allows, pick your favourite colours and style of lighting.

A bespoke walk-in dressing room is an innovative idea that will help you get the most out of your wardrobe. It provides a space to store clothes, as well as a way to try on outfits and have a full mirror and light.  This will help you save time when getting dressed for work or for other occasions. You can avoid the hassle of going through your entire wardrobe to find clothes that fit you properly as they are more easily accessible than a standard wardrobe.

• Fitted wardrobes

For those of us not lucky enough to have a walk-in wardrobe, we can still achieve the wardrobe of our dreams in our bedrooms with a fitted wardrobe.  It is still custom-made to fit the dimensions of your space and can be made to fit any size of room.  It is made with a person's measurements and usually comes with a variety of bespoke storage units to hang and store the exact type of clothing that you own.  

This type of wardrobe has many benefits over a freestanding one, such as the ability to store more items, better organisation, and easier accessibility.  Freestanding wardrobes are very popular, but they can take up more space than fitted wardrobes and are not as flexible in terms of design, often wasting space below and above.

• Bespoke under stairs storage

If you’re thinking of updating your stairs, then you could create a lot of storage space here with some clever carpentry.  Custom-built under stairs storage is a type of storage that is built into the stairs! This type of storage gives drawers which are usually very deep, and can store items that may not fit in a regular hallway closet.  It’s the perfect solution for those who are looking to save space in their homes and create hidden storage in an otherwise unused space. It is a great alternative to traditional overhead storage as you won’t even know it’s there, but it will provide so much useful space!
