Your guide to bespoke fitted storage by Claude Clémaron

Bespoke-fitted-storageThe main benefit of bespoke fitted storage is having a fully customised, high-quality design that is made for a specific space. Any area can be transformed with useful storage, from floor to ceiling, wall to wall or to fit perfectly in any room with unusual proportions. When expertly handcrafted and installed, the built-in furniture will provide you with a visually pleasing, practical and clutter-free environment.

Standard, readymade storage options tend to leave wasted gaps, whereas made-to-measure storage will fill the exact dimensions of every available nook and cranny. This is especially advantageous for more challenging and under-utilised places to furnish such as alcoves and under the stairs. Bespoke fitted units can be built up to the ceiling to maximise vertical storage or designed to hide unsightly elements such as pipework. From a bedroom with a slanted ceiling to a hallway with an awkward corner – any space can be enhanced by clever joinery.

Under-stairs-storageBuilt-in storage can be multipurpose too, such as this storage bench we designed and handcrafted for a family’s boot room.

Seamlessly integrated storage

Fitted furniture creates a cohesive and streamlined appearance in your home because it’s integrated into the structure of your home. Unlike bulky freestanding units that can clutter a room and take up useable floorspace. The beauty of bespoke fitted storage furniture is that it can echo the period style of your property or conceal everything behind a wall of barely-there cupboards, as you can see in our project above.

Bespoke BootroomEvery home has a variety of storage needs whether that’s cleaning supplies, clothing, sports kit, books, seasonal decorations, household linen, laundry and much more. When everything has its own designated place, you will create a more organised and livable space. The main two types of storage to consider are open storage such as shelving and wall hooks to keep everyday essentials easily accessible. While closed storage keeps household equipment or personal belongings that you don’t want on display neatly out of sight.

Some of the most popular types of fitted storage furniture we produce at Claude Clémaron include wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, media centres, display units, bookcases and pantry cupboards. The following are a few examples of our fitted storage projects.
