Here is an easy guide to understanding your bedroom needs. Ask yourself 4 questions:

Question 1: How quickly do you need the furniture?

Question 2: What quality should the furniture be?

Question 4: Do you want to customise your bedroom furniture?

Some retailers will build the furniture for you but this can cost extra. The furniture can also be purchased from a catalogue or direct from the store.

P.S. I welcome your thoughts back on this article; anybody with good or bad experiences with fitted bedroom furniture please feel free to share your experience. Also, I should mention, if you don't mind quality, customisation or want to spend a lot of money then I can recommend charity shops, such as the Salvation Army who provide a very worthwhile service.
