Fitted Wardrobes & Dressing Rooms Projects in London

Modern bedroom with sliding wardrobe doors.

Explore a selection of custom-made fitted wardrobes and dressing rooms designed and installed for homes across London.

All projects begin with the room itself. We examine the space on offer, the proportions, the architectural features, and how you wish to use the storage, after which we create built-in furniture that feels well thought out, practical, and appropriate for the property.

Our wardrobe offerings include full-height bedroom storage and alcove wardrobes as well as larger dressing rooms and built-in furniture which incorporates hanging space, drawers, shelving, seating or display areas.

The examples below show how different layouts, finishes and design choices can work across period homes, modern apartments and larger residential properties.

Wardrobes Designed Around Your Space

With bespoke wardrobes, you can make use of the full height and width of a room rather than having to adapt to the standard sizes of furniture.

Made-to-measure wardrobes are particularly useful in London homes, where alcoves, chimney breasts, sloping ceilings, uneven walls and restricted floor space can make standard furniture difficult to use effectively.

Each installation is designed with those conditions in mind.

A wardrobe can be fitted precisely between walls, designed around existing architectural features or used to make better use of an awkward area that might otherwise remain unused.

Internal layouts are designed around the storage requirements of each project and may include:

  • full-length and double hanging sections
  • internal drawers
  • adjustable shelving
  • shoe storage
  • open display areas
  • integrated lighting
  • space for luggage or seasonal items

The aim is simple: every item should have a clear place, with the internal layout designed around how the wardrobe will actually be used.

A Finish That Suits the Room

The way the built-in wardrobe looks has a great effect on the atmosphere of the room.

Some clients prefer clean, simple doors that fit quietly into the space, while others ask for more detailed cabinetry, along with traditional mouldings, panelled doors, decorative cornices, or open shelving.

Finishes can include painted cabinetwork in soft neutral tones or more elaborate combinations of wood, hardware, and lighting.

We give careful consideration to proportions, the width of doors, the arrangement of the panels and other surrounding architectural features. It is important to note that when furniture is fitted to a large area of a wall, small details become significant.

The aim is for the wardrobe to feel like a natural part of the room rather than furniture added afterwards.

Fitted Wardrobes for London Homes

Because standard furniture rarely makes use of the space available, it is often advantageous for London properties to have specially designed storage.

Period properties can have deep alcoves, high ceilings, original skirting, decorative cornices or walls that are not perfectly straight.

Modern flats pose a different kind of problem, and the bespoke storage solutions have to work harder without making the room appear crowded.

Furniture that is made to measure enables us to adapt to those conditions rather than forcing the room to conform to a standard item.

It could involve installing floor-to-ceiling cabinets, designing cabinetry around a chimney breast, providing storage next to a window, or designing a series of wardrobes that match the room’s proportions.

Dressing Rooms and Larger Wardrobe Projects

In larger bedrooms or in areas that are used specifically for dressing, we can create more elaborate storage arrangements.

The projects can involve numerous wardrobe runs, drawer units, open shelving, mirrors, seating areas or built-in lighting.

A dressing room is most effective when its arrangement matches the way you move around in it. The hanging sections, drawers and shelves should be placed in positions that are easy to access and that are sensible for everyday use.

What our clients say

Solid Carpentry did a fantastic job building us a new window seat with drawers along with understairs storage that includes some brilliant slide out wine racks. We've since had them back to build a wardrobe, replace two external doors, and do some repairs to another. Solid Carpentry team is professional and courteous, they pay attention detail and leave things neat and tidy at the end of the day. Highly recommended.

Me and my partner can't recommend Solid Carpentry highly enough - they were excellent! They designed and constructed some lovely and very ergonomic built-in wardrobes, they were great in asking what we needed and responding with solutions, they followed our thoughts and requirements closely and presented us with professional drawings of their proposals so we knew exactly what we were getting. They were friendly, helpful, hard working, always kept the workplace clean after they had been in our flat, and gave us a schedule of the works which they stuck to. Thanks guys!

Solid carpentry built some floating shelves and cupboards for a reception room and some built-in wardrobes for a bedroom. We found them to be competitive with their quote, completed the work to a very high standard and they were very quick, clean and polite. We have a young baby and they were very conscientious about noise, dust and cleaning up at the end of each day. Dmitriy was extremely helpful with helping us plan what we wanted and I will be using them again shortly for some more projects.
Highly recommended.
