Deciding between a walk-in wardrobe and fitted wardrobes can be an exciting choice in that it makes a big difference to how your bedroom will look and feel. Both have great storage solutions, with one suited for certain spaces/lifestyles/budgets more than the other. So how do you decide which one is good for you?
Space Requirements
Due to the format of a walk-in wardrobe, it will take up far more space compared to a fitted one. To be able to walk properly, you ideally need clearance of 1.5-2 metres in depth – any shallower and it may look more like storage than a proper walk-in space but how deep is too deep? Perfect for master bedrooms and boudoirs, they also take well to converted spare rooms or dedicated dressing areas.
Built-in closets, for example fitted wardrobes save space by making use of wall room per storage while not utilising extra flooring area to accessibility. Perfect for the size of a master bedroom needed to be maximised, they can also be made bespoke to fit alcoves or corners.
Storage Capacity
Walk-in wardrobes can be larger with even more storage ability. With all four walls to use, island units and additional space for drawers and shoe racks are an added benefit of this design style; There are no drawers to dig through, everything is on display and easily accessible: which makes deciding what you’re going to wear that much faster and exceedingly simpler in the long run.
Fitted wardrobes make the most of height and can include intelligent internal layouts, however they are constrained by width and depth. Although, when planned properly the modern fitted wardrobe will do much better in storing a significant clothing collection.

Bedroom Layout Impact
Walk-in Wardrobe: A walk in takes storage completely out of your bedroom for a cleaner, more streamlined sleep sanctuary. Such a separation of sleeping and getting-dressed areas appeals to everyone who likes calm bedrooms.
Fitted wardrobes are just the opposite and keep storage inside of the bedroom leaving the floor with space for furniture placement and movement. They can even open up rooms by skipping bulky shelves and drawers altogether.
Budget Considerations
Fitted wardrobes generally are cheaper. The pricing is installation including the wardrobe unit, and these are priced by size with further variation based on material plus internal fittings.
At the other end of the scale, walk-in wardrobes involve turning a whole room into something much more — and this requires anything from new floors to additional lighting systems (not forgetting furniture) might come up for consideration. It is a very costly investment but it provides luxury features and looks amazing in your home.
