Keep the fit
Bespoke or fitted furniture can be awkward and expensive to replace, especially when it already works well in the room.
Give fitted furniture a cleaner, more intentional finish.
Suitable fitted wardrobes, cabinetry and built-in joinery can be refinished with careful preparation and a sprayed finish, rather than being replaced.
Where the construction is sound, refinishing can make fitted wardrobes, media units and cabinetry work with a new room scheme. The existing surface determines the preparation and coating approach.

A new colour can tie older cabinetry into contemporary walls, floors and furnishings.
Spraying is particularly useful where a smooth, even appearance is wanted across doors and panels.
Wardrobes, alcove units and built-in storage are often made to fit a particular room. Replacing them can mean removing perfectly useful joinery simply because the finish no longer suits the space. Where the substrate and existing coating are suitable, refinishing offers another route.
Doors, drawer fronts and removable components may be easier to prepare away from the room. Fixed sections require careful protection of walls, floors, interiors and hardware. The exact process depends on whether the surface is timber, MDF, previously painted material or another coated product.
One advantage of refinishing fitted furniture is being able to plan the cabinetry and room colours together. Wardrobes can become a quiet continuation of the wall colour, a contrasting feature, or part of a wider palette including woodwork and doors.
Loose laminates, water damage, failing joints or badly damaged panels need to be identified before painting. A new coating is only as useful as the surface supporting it.
Some coated surfaces can be refinished with the correct preparation and primers, but I'll need to check suitability before quoting.
The best approach depends on the item. Removable doors and components may be easier to finish away from the room, while fixed cabinetry can require careful masking on site.
Yes, where appropriate I can plan the fitted furniture work alongside general room painting for a coordinated finish.
Careful preparation and a spray-applied finish can give suitable cabinet doors and fitted surfaces a clean, modern look, with far less disruption than a complete refit.
