Do We Need To Pay To Install Fitted Bedroom Furniture Now That We Have DIY Kits?

here is no doubt that fitted bedroom furniture is the better choice. Although more expensive to buy, it does give you more storage space than a normal wardrobe that comes flat-packed from the shop. As time has moved on, we even have fitted bedroom furniture DIY kits nowadays. These do-it-yourself kits not only serve the DIY enthusiasts, they serve budget conscious buyers who do not wish to pay for the expensive installation charges of normal fitted wardrobes.

Let’s face it, in some places, the cost on installing a fitted wardrobe is as high as the cost of buying the wardrobe itself. A DIY kit sounds like the perfect idea – buy it and then install it yourself. But is it really such a great idea? Frankly, that depends on your situation.

For example, if you have more time than money, it is certainly something worth thinking about. But if you normally work 60 to 80 hours a week, it is definitely not viable. Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself – how much is your time worth?

Of course, this assumes you actually have the skill needed to do the installation yourself. Depending on how your room is set up, and depending on the kit you bought, this can sometimes get very complicated. For example, is your bedroom’s ceiling completely level with your floor? If not, you will need to either plane the pieces of your furniture to fit, or do something to make the floor and ceiling level with each other. How about the surface of the wall where you intend to install your fitted wardrobe? Is there organic material, e.g. wallpaper, that might grow mold or attract all sorts of creepy crawlies after you complete your installation? If so, you will need to clean up these surfaces, not always an easy task unless you have the right equipment with you.

These are just some of the points you need to think about. If you live in the city, a DIY fitted bedroom furniture kit can save you the expense of paying for professional installation. But if you fail, you may end up paying even more to get a professional to rectify your mistakes.
