The spare bedroom. Often a forgotten space that is used to store all the junk and clutter you don’t want to be seen anywhere else in your house.
Here at Deane Interiors, we believe that to take complete pride and control of your household, the spare bedroom should be an extension of the rest of your rooms, ready at all times for friends and family to stay over without having to climb over boxes and watch out for belongings that have spilled onto the floor.
We have put together this guide, outlining some of the tips we recommend when organising a bedroom, giving you more space, and helping to create a brighter and calmer environment.
First and foremost, a spring clean is a necessity when it comes to organising a bedroom, especially if it’s being used as storage for miscellaneous boxes and the exercise bike that you promised to start using last Christmas.
This is an opportunity to take note of what’s in the boxes, containers, and bags in your spare room and decide whether you’re storing them for the sake of it or if you are saving them for a tangible reason. We often forget about things when they are out of sight… like the saying, out of sight, out of mind.
Diving into your spare room and tackling inventory is a great way of organising a bedroom, and may even unveil some vintage pieces that you thought you had lost.
Once you have sorted the items stored in your spare room and discarded anything surplus to goodwill, it’s now time to organise the leftovers into specified groups, which will aid your organisational plans moving forward.
Creating these groups will allow you to determine where each set of items will be stored, giving you a clearer idea of the contents of the room and whether they need to be kept or thrown.
Once you have installed your wardrobes and organisational features, you will already have your sections outlined, with the proactive approach you took in the previous step.
You may find that to declutter, you need to add additional storage solutions to your room. This will free up floor space, giving you a centralised unit of storage and complete control and organisation of the room.
If you have recently moved into your property or haven’t yet had the chance to decorate your spare bedroom because of the clutter, this is the perfect opportunity to start with a blank canvas and install a new set of wardrobes or fitted bedroom furniture, creating a space that fills your needs.
Here at Deanes, we have an extensive selection of solutions to fulfil your bedroom storage needs. Our bespoke made-to-measure furniture options allow you to create the perfect storage design.
Additionally, if your house is a bit older, or the previous owners decorated it less tastefully, we have a large stock of sliding wardrobe options to meet all styles and budgets.
Once you have organised your room and thrown away any unnecessary clutter, it is vital to keep on top of your organisation, avoiding having to complete the process again for at least a few years.
A good tip for keeping a clean and organised aesthetic is to keep your floorspace clear, ensuring no clothes, boxes, hoovers, or Christmas decorations are scattered around the room, making it feel smaller and more cramped than it really is. A clear floor space will improve the functionality of your room and allow you to utilise the space much more.
Organising a bedroom can be tiring, so leave it to the professionals and let our team create a bespoke design to resolve your storage requirements. To get the process started or for more information on our services and how we can help you, contact us online now.

Choosing the right wardrobe for your bedroom is essential. With the right furniture, you can ensure that your home has practical, functional and design appropriate storage solutions. This will allow you to comfortably store your belongings, without compromising on space throughout your property.
Custom sliding wardrobes are a great way to increase your storage as well as introducing a modern design to your bedroom. Here are 6 reasons why you should consider replacing your freestanding furniture with a custom sliding wardrobe.
Firstly, a custom sliding wardrobe provides much more storage than freestanding wardrobes. They utilise all available floor to ceiling space, leaving no gaps. This makes the most of the bedroom’s vertical capacity, giving you more room without taking up the floor.
Sliding doors glide across one another, rather than opening out into the room. This saves a lot of disregarded space, especially if you have a smaller bedroom.
Sliding wardrobes can help you become more organised with your belongings. There is no need to force any clothing into a small space; you can personalise the interior layout of your bespoke wardrobe to create the ideal storage solutions for your specific requirements.
Whether you want to simplify your room or include a mixture of storage options, we can help you to keep your home organised. Follow our tips on how to organise your storage space for more information on making the most of your fitted furniture.
Bespoke fitted furniture is a long-lasting investment, providing you with top-quality products that can make your home feel bigger and give you a room to be proud of.
Sliding wardrobes are an excellent investment for any homeowner; they can add value to your home and are a great selling point as many potential buyers look for stylish yet efficient storage solutions. Lack of capacity is a problem that many households face – so this is a real asset to consider.
Custom sliding wardrobes help to transform the overall interior design of your bedroom. Whether it’s through the colour, the finish, or the overall design – you can enhance the appearance and functionality of your room. Unlike bespoke fitted furniture, freestanding wardrobes are the cheaper option, however, they come with a list of limitations and flaws; including poor design, ineffective use of space, and restrictions to achieving the look you want.
Believe it or not, sliding wardrobes are not just for bedroom use. The sliding doors make them perfect for other rooms where you may need more storage. For example, in your home office, they can be used to keep your supplies, stationery, photographs or keep your collectables. With all the colours and finishes that come with this style, they can blend in seamlessly with your current room design.
A massive benefit of a custom sliding wardrobe is that you can tailor your solution to fit any awkward angle no matter the size or shape of your room.
Many standard Freestanding wardrobes don’t usually fit in an oddly-shaped room and can only be positioned in a way that cuts off valuable storage areas. Whereas custom sliding wardrobes can fit exactly into the desired place, no matter how small or inconvenient.
At Deane Wardrobes we provide made to measure storage solutions that are built bespoke to your home – so you can ensure your bedroom is as functional as possible.
At Deane, we see small spaces as a great opportunity for creating the perfect design solution tailored to your storage needs and style.
We offer bespoke fitted bedrooms, custom sliding wardrobes, home offices and much more. Contact us to begin your bedroom transformation today!

Another major benefit of installing sliding wardrobes is the practical solutions they provide to your storage and floor space needs.
Fitted sliding wardrobes, compared to traditional doors, don’t need to factor in the opening swing of the door into your design, making it a universally suitable option for homes and floorplans of any size or shape.
A dedicated storage area that blends seamlessly with your interiors is the perfect way to clear space in your home, and with our bespoke design service, we can create the ideal storage for small or large spaces, as well as areas with irregular dimensions to the exact millimetre.

We can cater to any design requirements, meaning if you’re looking for mirrored sliding food options, Deanes has got you covered.
Improving your interiors with custom-built fitted sliding wardrobes is a long-term investment that can help increase the overall value of your property.
Introducing bespoke storage solutions into your home gives your property an edge in the market, as potential buyers (or tenants) are increasingly likely to be attracted to modern interiors with intentional storage solutions readily available.
Sliding wardrobes remove the necessity of purchasing additional furniture, eating into precious floor space, and reducing the work and costs that potential buyers may obtain when moving into the property. Furthermore, as previously mentioned, fitted sliding wardrobes can make your home appear to be bigger, with a much better layout, opening the space to a wider selection of possibilities.
At Deanes, quality and functionality are at the core of everything we do, providing an end-to-end service, transforming your home’s interior, and satisfying all your wants and needs.

It is a time to buy and make gifts, bake, cook, spend cherished time with our loved ones and, most importantly, celebrate the meaning of Christmas.
There is always something special in the air at Christmas time. People are kinder, warmer, friendlier. We smile at strangers, we say hello to our neighbours and we treat our friends and families with a little more care and patience.
We also exhibit the example of giving to and helping those who are in need.
For those of you with children in your lives, you know their joy when they open gifts on Christmas Day. It is therefore very sad for all of us to think of all the children in our area who will not have even one gift to open this year…..
Therefore we again here at Deane Interiors will be collecting and acting as a drop off point for the Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal. We are asking all our friends, customers and suppliers alike to make any toy donation they can, big or small it does not matter.
We have all heard that it is better to give than to receive. To know that you are helping to make someone’s life just a little bit easier or helping to make someone happy is an indescribable feeling. As I am sure you realize, while you are busy buying and making gifts for your loved ones this Christmas season, there are so many people in need. While most of us take for granted having a merry Christmas, some among us can only pray and dream about it.
It is all about sharing and giving at Christmas time and especially to think of those who are less fortunate. And by donating a gift or gifts to this cause you are guaranteeing to put a smile on a child’s face on Christmas day, so dig deep if you can and add a gift to your list and bring it along to our Showroom.
Kettles on and the mince pies are ready and waiting!
We believe every child deserves a new gift at Christmas so we are unable to take used or second-hand items for the Christmas Present Appeal.
Over the years, millions of children and young people have benefited from gifts donated to The Salvation Army.
By giving a gift to our Christmas Present Appeal you can make a real difference in someone’s life at Christmas. Contact us for more information.
Give a gift and light up a life!
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
Finally with the arrival of rain and wind, it’s time to admit that the winter is approaching. So, when you peer out the window this morning and see the misty chill of Autumn, then turn to the wardrobe to get something suitable to wear, are you happy with what you see?
Think of your main wardrobe. If just a small portion takes your everyday clothes and the rest is crammed with other stuff, it’s time to take things in hand, you will be surprised how
liberating it is. Now, I’m not a de clutter evangelist who thinks that clearing out your wardrobe will change your life – but it will make a little change to your daily routine that will definitely give you one less headache in the morning.
A client of mine who is renovating her home recently had to remove everything from her wardrobes because the room was being knocked about, it all ended up in a huge pile on the floor for sorting. Space to store this vesuvius of clobber temporarily elsewhere was limited, so every item needed to justify its place in the ‘to keep’ pile. ‘I couldn’t believe how much stuff came out – it just grew and grew!’ she told me. This is really common, faced with the mountain, it feels like it’s YOU underneath it, weighted down by the responsibility of;
1. Not going to enough fancy parties to wear all those dresses
2. Being the wrong size for 80% of it
3. Spending too much on bargains
Time to get realistic. Choose a day when you have a couple of hours where you won’t get disturbed, this is crucial, if you have to do something in the middle of it, you will lose concentration and be tempted to chuck it all back to finish another day. Take the emotion out of it, and be brutal.
Get it all out and think of it as therapy, it gets worse before it gets better, but you will feel the effects right away. Make 3 piles, keep, chuck, charity. Have a scan around for things that you may not have thought of putting together, and make a few outfits, this is easier when it’s all out on view, then dive in.
· Keep – things that you wear now, and layering pieces that will give new life to your favourites.
· Chuck – past favourites that you couldn’t bring yourself to throw away that now just make you look scruffy. I have painting clothes, but also a decorator! Out they go, will you miss them?
· Charity – think of your charity pile like giving actual money, it feels good.
You will be amazed at the size of the piles you have, don’t be tempted to re visit them.
If you are thinking of having new wardrobes, why pay to store things you’ll seldom use? It’s ineffective and expensive, and reduces your room to create storage you don’t need. Spend the money on a few new clothes instead.
Finally, attack your underwear drawer, yes, you know what I’m talking about! If you would be ashamed to be caught wearing it, it doesn’t deserve to be there.
Deane have recently completed the installation of our top of the range Rio sliding wardrobes to all apartments and houses at Audley retirement village in Maidstone, Kent.
Using Pearwood sliding doors, manufactured with soft white glass and including multi panels we believe the finish looks truly fantastic.
Situated in over 450-acres of peaceful woodland Mote Park, with its stunning landscapes and 30-acre lake is a luxury retirement development of 100 cottages and apartments, just outside the village of Bearsted in Kent.
To the centre of the development is Mote House, a Grade II* listed Georgian mansion which has also been impeccably restored to it’s original splender. As well as restored function rooms and restaurant Mote House also includes a luxury health club, swimming pool and library.
The ongoing development of one and two bedroom properties is being completed in 2016. All properties have balconies and terraces overlooking the Mote Park landscapes and lake.
If you would like more information about the Audley Retirement Village in Mote Park then contact the sales office on 01622 297192.
If you were to ask most people where they go for bedroom storage they would more than likely say freestanding wardrobes, available from any high street department store. Generally sold in a variety of different styles freestanding furniture is a great way to storage your clothes quickly and at minimal cost.
There are a few drawbacks to buying catalog furniture however as most freestanding wardrobes are built to a common size with a one size fits all philosophy. This generally conflicts with most new homes as the freestanding wardrobes leave a large amount of dead space both at the top and the sides of the wardrobe, creating a real headache if you have more clothing than you can store.
While the look of the wardrobe is certainly relevant for the overall theme of the room, the layout and potential space inside the wardrobe is an important factor in any design. As the main function of the wardrobe is to hold all of your clothes, shoes and other storage features it is not ideal to leave large areas of the space unused, as the amount of practical storage is limited.
With the inside of the wardrobe being important you may also find flat pack furniture can be restricted to a limited choice of options. For instance, should you have a lot of long dresses and coats then you can buy a tall wardrobe with a high rail, keeping the clothing off of the floor. Alternatively if you mainly use you wardrobe for casual wear such as jumpers, t-shirts and trousers you will likely opt for a wardrobe with shelving and minimal hanging space.
Both of these options are OK if you fit into either stereotype, however if you need further storage then you will certainly struggle to customize the interior to suit your requirements. This can be impossible to achieve without affecting the look and the cost of the wardrobes.
In contrast to a freestanding wardrobe, bespoke fitted wardrobes are custom-made, and built into the limits of your room. With little or no restrictions this gives you the design freedom to use the complete area, from floor to ceiling and wall to wall.
As well as making all of your clothing fit into your wardrobe, custom wardrobes can offer more visual appeal to the overall design of the room. Choosing a custom design ensures that you can completely restructure your wardrobe to your individual needs, guaranteeing you are able to choose a certain colour or style without restriction. With complete freedom to design the wardrobes to your own style and have plenty of storage for your belongings, there is certainly more benefits to having your wardrobes made bespoke.
Depending which company you choose or the nature of your requirements you will certainly be offered more choice from a fitted bedroom specialist, who can at times offer a design which is completely unique to your own ambitions. For example you may wish to include a full length mirror with a choice of unique coloured glass doors.
In addition you will be able to completely design the interior layout from scratch. This is really important if you have your own ideas of where you wish to put certain items and is a great feature if you would like to put the more commonly used clothing in a certain area of the wardrobe, customizing your wardrobe to fit your exact needs.
There is certainly more flexibility, making your wardrobes unique to you. You simply design your wardrobes to fit with your lifestyle and leave it to someone else to worry about measure the room. Another reason to choose to go custom as you can be certain the wardrobes will work and fit correctly, so no need to worry about it being too big or too small.
It is true that custom fitted furniture costs more than freestanding wardrobes, but the two options have very different benefits.
Life Expectancy – Most fitted bedroom companies cover all products with a statutory 10 year guarantee, which covers most parts/ pieces such and wheels, hinges and the fitting of the wardrobe itself. More of an investment, custom furniture is possibly a cheaper option long term as most freestanding wardrobes are commonly replaced with a more suitable option.
Clothes Storage Space – When comparing the two options by storage volume there is simply no comparison. With no dead areas you can actually double the amount of storage just by choosing a custom solution. You can also save space by reducing the need for added furniture. Using these examples it is more affordable to have custom-made wardrobes built for you, when you think about the extra space you can achieve.
Freestanding Furniture
Custom Fitted Furniture
Deciding which type of wardrobe you should choose depends on a number of factors.
If you rent your property then you will undoubtedly need to ask for your landlord’s approval before you start commissioning custom-made wardrobes. They are permanent fixtures which are fitted to the walls, floor and ceiling so most landlords will object to permanent changes as it is something that is difficult to reverse. In addition it is surely unethical to remove the wardrobes when you relocate as they would not fit into your new bedroom in the same way. In comparison freestanding wardrobes are easy to dismantle and rebuilt at your new property.
If you own your own property then there is really only one option if you are looking for a long term solution. Should you have a lot of clothes, shoes, and other storage items a custom-made solution offers instant space and more room to store your clothes. Although fitted wardrobes are slightly more expensive than freestanding units the benefits are massive, allowing you the design freedom to make your wardrobes fit your lifestyle perfectly.
