Fitted Bedroom Cost at a Glance (2026 UK Prices)
A fitted bedroom in the UK typically costs £3,000–£8,000 in 2026, with most people paying around £4,000–£6,000 for a standard double room of coordinated wardrobes, drawers and bedside units. Budget rooms start near £1,000, while high-end bespoke schemes run £8,000–£15,000+. Prices are a guide and exclude VAT.
Last updated: 2026.
Scope: This guide covers a whole fitted bedroom — wardrobes plus bedside units, drawer banks, a dressing area and over-bed storage — and compares national brands like Sharps and Hammonds against independent and bespoke London joiners. If you only need wardrobes rather than a full fitted bedroom, see our fitted wardrobes cost guide.
| Fitted bedroom tier | Typical price (ex VAT) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget / basic | £1,000–£3,000 | Flat-pack or entry-level fitted wardrobes, limited internals |
| Mid-range (most common) | £3,000–£8,000 | Coordinated wardrobes, drawers and bedside units; better finishes |
| High-end bespoke | £8,000–£15,000+ | Fully bespoke room, premium materials, integrated detailing |
How Much Does an Average Fitted Bedroom Cost?
An average fitted bedroom costs £3,000–£8,000 in 2026, and most homeowners spend around £4,000–£6,000 for a standard double bedroom. The figure depends on how much of the room you fit out: a single wall of wardrobes sits at the lower end, while a full scheme — wardrobes, a drawer bank, bedside units, a dressing area and over-bed cupboards — pushes towards the upper end.
A fitted bedroom is more than wardrobes. You are paying for a coordinated room where every element shares the same doors, handles and finish, is shaped to fit your walls with no gaps, and uses the awkward corners and chimney breasts that freestanding furniture wastes. That coordination is where fitted furniture earns its premium over off-the-shelf pieces, and it is why two homes of the same size can be quoted very different totals depending on how complete the scheme is.
| Fitted bedroom element | Typical added cost (ex VAT) |
|---|---|
| Run of fitted wardrobes (per linear metre) | £700–£2,500+ |
| Bank of drawers / chest | £400–£1,200 |
| Pair of bedside units | £300–£900 |
| Dressing table / vanity area | £600–£1,800 |
| Over-bed storage / bridging units | £500–£1,500 |
To estimate your own room, add the elements you want together rather than relying on a single headline figure. A typical mid-range double with a wall of wardrobes, a drawer bank and matching bedside units lands at roughly £4,000–£6,000, before any London uplift. London adds roughly 15–25% to these figures, reflecting higher labour, access and workshop costs in the capital.
Fitted Bedroom Cost Per Linear Metre
Pricing a fitted bedroom per linear metre is the easiest way to compare quotes on a like-for-like basis. Mid-range fitted furniture runs £700–£1,200 per linear metre, while bespoke joinery sits at £1,200–£2,500+ per linear metre depending on materials, internals and detailing. Measure the total width of the runs you want fitted, then multiply by the relevant rate.
| Quality level | Price per linear metre (ex VAT) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-level fitted | £500–£700 | Simple wardrobes, basic internals |
| Mid-range fitted | £700–£1,200 | Most homes; good finishes and soft-close drawers |
| Bespoke / London | £1,200–£2,500+ | Made-to-measure rooms, premium materials, fine detailing |
Per-metre rates rise with floor-to-ceiling heights, hand-painted or veneered finishes, glass or metal-framed doors, and complex internal layouts such as pull-out rails, jewellery drawers and integrated lighting. A short, simple run of standard-height wardrobes will sit near the bottom of each band; a tall, fully detailed scheme around a chimney breast will sit near the top. Prices are a guide and exclude VAT.
How Much Is a Sharps Fitted Bedroom?
A Sharps fitted bedroom typically costs £3,000–£10,000+, with most rooms landing around £4,000–£8,000 before any promotional discount. The average price of a Sharps fitted bedroom for a standard double is usually quoted in the £4,000–£6,000 range. Hammonds, the other large national brand, quotes on a similar basis.
National brands like Sharps and Hammonds price per project after a home design visit, so the headline number you are quoted often arrives with a large promotional discount attached. Treat the first figure as a starting point and expect room to negotiate — these brands are well known for time-limited offers, and the price you accept can differ substantially from the price first written down.
| Sharps / Hammonds-style room | Typical quote (ex VAT) |
|---|---|
| Small single bedroom run | £3,000–£4,500 |
| Standard double bedroom (most common) | £4,000–£8,000 |
| Large or master bedroom scheme | £8,000–£10,000+ |
Because the final number depends on the survey and the discount of the day, it is worth getting at least one independent quote alongside any national-brand visit so you can compare a clear, fixed specification.
How Much Do Sharps Wardrobes Cost?
Sharps wardrobes typically cost £2,000–£6,000 for a run, depending on width, door style and internal fittings. Sliding-door wardrobes and floor-to-ceiling runs sit at the top of that range, while a single hinged double wardrobe with standard internals sits at the bottom. As with the full room, the quoted price usually includes a sizeable advertised discount.
For a deeper breakdown of wardrobe-only pricing across the market, see our fitted wardrobes cost guide, our sliding wardrobe doors cost guide, and our walk-in wardrobe cost guide. Those guides go further on door mechanisms and internal layouts than this room-level overview.
Why Are Sharps Wardrobes So Expensive?
Sharps wardrobes are expensive mainly because the price covers a large national operation: a free home design service, showrooms, marketing, surveyors, manufacturing and a separate fitting team. You are buying a polished, low-risk end-to-end service from a recognised brand, and a meaningful share of the cost sits in overheads rather than the materials in your room.
That model has real strengths — slick design software, broad finish ranges and a known guarantee. The trade-off is that the headline price is set high so the brand can apply the discounts it is famous for. An independent London joiner with lower overheads can often deliver comparable or better-made wardrobes for less, though quality varies, so it is worth comparing a like-for-like specification rather than just the bottom-line number.
- Brand and marketing overheads — showrooms, advertising and a national sales force.
- End-to-end service — design visit, survey, manufacture and a dedicated fitting team.
- Discount-led pricing — high list prices that leave room for promotions.
- Convenience premium — one recognised company handling everything.
None of this means a national brand is the wrong choice; for some buyers the convenience and brand-backed guarantee are worth the premium. The point is to understand what you are paying for, so you can judge whether the same budget would buy a more tailored result elsewhere.
Sharps vs Hammonds vs Bespoke London Joiner: Compared
National brands, local joiners and bespoke London studios all fit out bedrooms, but they sit at different points on price, flexibility and finish. The table below is a fair, factual comparison to help you choose — none of these routes is automatically “best”, it depends on your budget and how bespoke you need the result to be.
| Factor | National brand (Sharps / Hammonds-style) | Independent local joiner | Noba & Stod bespoke London |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price (ex VAT) | £4,000–£8,000+ (after discount) | £1,500–£5,000 for similar wardrobes | Bespoke, upper end; £1,200–£2,500+ per linear metre |
| Design service | In-home consultation with set ranges | Varies; often informal | Free design consultation, fully tailored |
| Who installs | Separate brand fitting team | The joiner, or their team | One dedicated project team, single point of contact |
| Lead time | Typically 4–8 weeks | Varies widely | Planned per project; quality-led scheduling |
| Materials / finish | Standardised ranges; carcass spec varies | Quality varies by maker | Premium carcass materials, such as birch plywood; hand-painted, veneer or metal-framed door options |
| Flexibility | Limited to catalogue options | Moderate | Fully bespoke, including integrated metalwork and brass inlays |
Noba & Stod is a London bespoke joinery studio: your room is designed around your space, built in our own London workshop, and delivered by one dedicated team so you have a single point of contact throughout. Where it suits the design, we can add premium touches that catalogue brands rarely offer, such as doors framed in metal or fine brass inlays. The result is a room measured and finished to your walls, with internals planned around how you actually use the space.
What Affects the Price of a Fitted Bedroom?
Two quotes for the same room can differ by thousands of pounds, so it helps to know which factors move the figure most. The main drivers are the size of the scheme, the finish you choose and the complexity of the space.
- Room size and number of runs — more linear metres of furniture means a higher total.
- How much you fit out — wardrobes only, versus a full room with drawers, bedside units, a dressing area and over-bed storage.
- Door style — hinged, sliding, glass or metal-framed doors all price differently.
- Finish — hand-painted and veneered finishes cost more than foil or melamine.
- Carcass materials — premium carcass materials, such as birch plywood, sit above standard board.
- Internal fittings — pull-out rails, soft-close drawers, jewellery inserts and integrated lighting.
- Hardware — high-quality soft-close hinges and runners add cost but improve longevity.
- Walls and access — sloped ceilings, chimney breasts and uneven walls take more work to fit with no gaps.
- Location — London adds roughly 15–25% over regional pricing.
For coordinated joinery beyond the bedroom, our alcove cupboards and shelving guide covers living-room storage on the same principles.
What Is Included in a Fitted Bedroom Quote?
A good quote should be itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for and compare suppliers fairly. The table below shows what a typical bespoke fitted bedroom quote includes against a national-brand package.
| Quote element | National-brand package | Bespoke London joiner |
|---|---|---|
| Design and survey | Included; set catalogue ranges | Included; tailored to your room |
| Carcasses and doors | Standardised; spec varies by range | Premium carcass materials, such as birch plywood; bespoke doors |
| Internal fittings | Range of catalogue options | Planned around how you use the space |
| Hardware | High-quality soft-close hinges and runners | High-quality soft-close hinges and runners |
| Delivery and fitting | Separate brand fitting team | One dedicated team, single point of contact |
| Finishing to walls | Standard fillers and trims | Shaped to fit your walls with no gaps |
Always confirm whether painting, electrics for integrated lighting and the removal of old furniture are included, as these are common extras that affect the final figure. Prices are a guide and exclude VAT.
Is a Fitted Bedroom Worth the Cost?
For most homes, a fitted bedroom is worth it when you want to maximise storage in an awkward or compact room. Fitted furniture uses the full height and width of a wall, wraps around chimney breasts and into corners, and gives a seamless, built-in look that freestanding furniture cannot match. It can also add appeal at resale, particularly in London where storage is at a premium.
If your room is large and you may want to rearrange it later, freestanding furniture keeps that flexibility. But where space is tight or the layout is irregular, a fitted bedroom usually delivers more usable storage per pound. To explore options for your room, book a fitted wardrobes consultation and we will advise honestly on the right approach.

Are independent or bespoke joiners cheaper than Sharps or Hammonds?
Often, yes. Independent London joiners commonly quote £1,500–£5,000 for similar wardrobes and can be better value because they carry lower overheads. Quality varies between makers, so compare materials, internals and finish carefully. A bespoke London studio sits at the upper end on price but offers fully tailored design and detailing that catalogue brands cannot match.
How much does a fitted bedroom cost per linear metre?
Mid-range fitted furniture costs £700–£1,200 per linear metre, while bespoke joinery runs £1,200–£2,500+ per linear metre depending on materials, finishes and internals.
