Order Custom vs Buy Ready-Made Wardrobes & Closets

Looking for a new wardrobe? The first question that arises is what is more worthwhile: buying a ready-made closet or ordering a custom-designed wardrobe?

This decision is very important and it really is not so easy to know which option is best. So let’s see the pros and cons of each one so you can choose the best for you.

Buying ready-made wardrobes

The main advantage of buying a ready-made wardrobe is the price. Like any item in the house, ordering tailor-made is much more expensive.

So, this is the most suitable option if the budget is short, or if it is not a property in which it is worthwhile to invest a lot, such as a rented apartment.

Even so, it’s worth taking the time to choose the furniture that best fits your space. So the result can be cool, even if not as perfect as a custom wardrobe would be.

Compare a number ready-made options and look for dimensions that are close to what you need.

Ordering custom-made closets

The biggest advantage of tailoring is the maximum use of available space.

In most cases, this also makes the bedroom look better than having gaps between the closet and the walls and ceiling.

Fully occupying the available width and height, a custom wardrobe gives an organized look to the bedroom.

Simple and cheap closet ideas

An alternative to make better use of the space while spending little is to assemble your wardrobe with ready-made drawers, hanger bars, niches and shelves.

If you don’t like the open look or are afraid of getting too messy, you can have a curtain replacing doors. This exchange reduces the budget considerably.

If you are still in doubt, search for ready-made options and ask a cabinetmaker for a quote.

Then you can compare prices and assess whether the aesthetic and practical differences outweigh the higher value of the custom-made closet.
