Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes

Fitted wardrobes earn their place by using the parts of a bedroom that free-standing furniture cannot: the run beside a chimney breast, the space under a sloping ceiling, the full height up to a cornice.

We design the interior around what you actually own — hanging lengths, drawer depths, shoe storage, folded shelving — then build and install the furniture so it reads as part of the architecture rather than an addition to it.

What the service includes

01

Room survey

Accurate measurements of walls, skirtings, ceiling lines and services so the finished furniture fits without visible packers or gaps.

02

Interior planning

Hanging, shelving, drawers and accessory storage arranged around your wardrobe rather than a standard layout.

03

Door and frame detailing

Shaker, panelled, flush or handleless doors, with alignment and shadow gaps resolved before manufacture.

04

Finish and lighting

Hand-painted or veneered finishes with optional integrated lighting on opening.

Materials & finishes

Finishes are chosen with you and sampled before anything is built, so the colour, grain and hardware are agreed while the design is still on paper.

How the project runs

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We visit the space or meet at the workshop, talk through how the room needs to work, and agree a realistic budget before any drawings are issued.

  2. 02

    Design

    Measured drawings show exactly what is being built: cabinet sizes, storage layout, sightlines and how the furniture meets the building.

  3. 03

    Materials & Finishes

    Timbers, paint colours, worktops and ironmongery are sampled and agreed, so nothing is decided from a photograph alone.

  4. 04

    Manufacture

    Everything is built in our Derbyshire workshop by the people who will install it, which keeps the detailing and the quality consistent.

  5. 05

    Installation

    We fit, scribe and adjust on site, protect the rest of the house while we work, and walk the finished furniture through with you.

Fitted Wardrobes projects

Case studies for this collection are being photographed and written up. In the meantime, we can show you completed work when we meet, or send photographs of similar projects on request.

Fitted Wardrobes — common questions

Will the wardrobes fit a sloping or uneven ceiling?
Yes. Angled and stepped runs are one of the main reasons to have furniture built rather than bought, and everything is scribed to the room on installation.
Can you match existing joinery in the house?
We can take reference from existing doors, skirtings and mouldings elsewhere in the house so new wardrobes reads as original to the property, rather than as an obvious modern addition. Profiles, panel proportions and finish are matched during design, and where a period detail cannot be replicated exactly, we discuss the nearest practical alternative with you before manufacture begins.
