Wardrobe installations are becoming more popular these days. Not only are they great space savers, but they also give that luxurious look in your bedroom and bath. No matter how large or small your house or room is a built-in wardrobe will fit itself quite easily. There’s also a variety of designs you can choose from. And, on top of all that, you can install these wardrobes yourself. Talk about serious savings, right? But, before you go online and shop for wardrobes, consider the pros and cons of DIY-ing your wardrobe.
Pro: Budget-friendly
Because you’ll do everything – the shopping, the fitting, the installation and the fixing – you get a good discount on labour costs. All you need to worry about is the cost of materials, and the time and effort it will take you to build your wardrobe. It may not be much of an amount, but you can still save that money and use it somewhere else. All it takes is a little patience and a little sweat.
Con: Not for a busy businessman
If you don’t even have time for a decent lunch, then don’t consider DIY on your wardrobe. It will take time and effort on your part. If you’re not willing to sacrifice these two, then just ask someone to install the wardrobe for you. Asking a professional will cost you a bit, but it’s for your own convenience.
Pro: You get to choose the design
When you install the wardrobe yourself, you can customize it and design it however you want. You don’t need to go and have long explanations to your designer of the specific design you want for your wardrobe. After all, it’s your clothes and things that will go inside. And, it’s your wardrobe. Who knows your needs better than you? It’s still best to roll up your sleeves and do it on your own.
Con: Not for the first timer
If you’ve done a lot of DIY items before, then installing the wardrobe would be a breeze. But for someone who was just excited with the prospect of DIY, this wardrobe might be potentially problematic. It’s not that the wardrobe is difficult to install. The DIY instructions are clear and easy to follow, but it might take you longer to install the wardrobe, the shelves and the door. If you don’t have enough time to spend on this, might as well shell out a little cash for professional help.
A built-in wardrobe is such a fantastic addition to any home. It’s modern and stylish and is very convenient to have them. It also boosts your pride if you installed yourself. All in all, if you have the time, effort, patience and the wit, you can go and build your own wardrobe. Doing your own wardrobe installation is not that hard. With a little research, you can easily find your way into the whole building and installation process. It will save you money, but it will cost you time. Prioritize, think it through, and then decide.
