You're dreaming again. And it's about the same old thing - how much better things would be if you had a fully fitted bedroom. You know exactly what you want, but you need some help too. Well, M&S have been turning dream bedrooms into reality for over 20 years. Let's see how they do it...
Image description: The picture changes to show the woman inside the M&S showroom.
You're at the M&S showroom and you feel very relaxed. You can reach out and touch the displays, examine the workmanship. It's clearly the very best quality. But how much would something like this cost?. And which style do you choose, there are so many on show. But wait, someone's coming...
Image description: The picture focuses on one of the custom designed bedroom suites on display.
That was helpful. It turns out that at M&S you can create your own unique look, by selecting door, framework and trim finish from over 20 different styles. There's a free planning service too. And because the furniture is made to measure, it's guaranteed to fit. But surely a custom made bedroom will be expensive?...

Well, there's a nice surprise. You brought along a rough floor plan, so they gave you an estimate straight away. Thank goodness they won't be sending some pushy salesman round to invade your front room. And even though you thought 'flat-pack' would be cheaper, this fitted price is a far better deal. Lets go for it!

You're back home now. And you can do something you've really been looking forward to. Clear the room to make way for your new bedroom. You've put up with this musty old furniture for long enough. Let's make it vanish...

That's much better. Now, before the new bedroom furniture arrives, don't forget there's a little surprise that you need to arrange yourself. Your friends will be green with envy when they see this...

Wonderful. A concealed en-suite. Because M&S furniture is made to measure, features like this, or fridges, TV sets or computer work areas, can all be discreetly concealed in your bedroom. Now all you need is for the man of your dreams to materialise...

And here he is!. Chris is one of the expert fitters from M&S. Like all the M&S team, he takes great pride in his ability to transform an empty bedroom into something really special. It's a rewarding job, so his care and attention to detail is assured. Let's get him started.
Image description: Chris starts work and the furniture starts to take shape.
Wow!. That's looking good already. These are strong carcasses, not just a flimsy framework. And it's so nice to see that the insides of the units are the same colour as the outsides. That light Walnut finish is going to look great with the steel handles that you've chosen. Hurry up Chris!.
Image description: Doors are added to the carcasses.
All these doors are made to measure, so you won't see any odd-looking infill panels. The 30mm thick doors are exclusive to M&S. Plus, to ensure that they stay in perfect alignment, the wardrobe doors are fitted with 5 steel hinges, rather than 4 alloy ones. This is real quality.
Image description: The picture draws attention to the fully fitted nature of the units.
Some 'fitted' furniture is only fitted to the wall. The great thing about this bedroom is that it's fully fitted, from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling. There's no dust traps or hard to reach places. And look, there's room for you to add those recessed downlighters that you wanted. Perfect for a little bedtime reading.
Image description: Chris starts work on the drawers.
Oh, how you've longed for drawers that open and close smoothly. It's the mark of a quality bedroom. Unlike many of their competitors, M&S drawers feature high quality, steel ball- bearing runners. Plus they have solid bases that match the units. And of course, very narrow, or very wide drawers are no problem.
Image description: The picture now shows the finished room, with new curtains and carpet.
And there it is, finished. Your dream bedroom come true. It's beautifully fitted, the style is exactly what you wanted (because you chose it) and there's room for all of your clothes. All you need to do now is add your own finishing touches. And if you think dreaming about it was good, wait until you wake up in it...

Now this is heaven!. You're warm and cosy, the linen is fresh and you can smell the magical aroma of a brand new carpet. A fitted bedroom does more than just impress your friends. It's a treat for all your senses. And with a bedroom from M&S, that's a feeling that's going to last!
