One of the questions we’re asked most often is:
“Can you build wardrobes that work with the awkward slopes in my loft bedroom?”
The simple answer is yes, absolutely. Loft rooms are full of quirks: sloping ceilings, tight corners, unusual angles and, often, very limited standard storage options. Yet these are also the features that make loft bedrooms such rewarding spaces to design for. Done well, a bespoke wardrobe doesn’t just fit a loft room, it enhances it, bringing order, beauty and a feeling of spaciousness.
Interestingly, the two projects we’ve recently completed in London showcase the opposite scenario. Instead of fitting furniture tucked beneath slopes or built into angles, these loft rooms allowed for more traditional wardrobe shapes. Still, the final results are full of clever detailing, thoughtful craftsmanship and design ideas that may help you reimagine your own loft space.
Working with Loft Bedrooms: Why Bespoke Matters
Loft conversions are incredibly popular across London, adding valuable bedroom space in properties where square footage is at a premium. But with these benefits come challenges:
- Sloping ceilings that create awkward voids
- Limited wall height for full-height wardrobes
- Nooks and alcoves that standard furniture can’t utilise
- Structural beams or supports that need integrating
- Natural light constraints, particularly around roof windows
Because of this, off-the-shelf furniture rarely fits correctly, leaving you with unused gaps, wasted space and a layout that feels “almost right” but not quite. Bespoke carpentry solves this by tailoring every millimetre to the room, and to the way you live and use the space.
Even in lofts where more standard furniture is possible, as in our recent projects, the difference in look and feel between fitted bespoke and flat-pack is night and day.
Loft Bedroom 1: Clean Lines, Calm Atmosphere
The first loft bedroom we showcased features a beautifully simple wardrobe installation. Instead of navigating steep ceiling angles, this particular room offered a straight run of workable wall, a rarity in London lofts!
We designed a set of full-height wardrobes with a smooth, timeless aesthetic. Clean shaker-style fronts, subtle lines, and a soft colour palette help keep the room calm and inviting. The fitted nature of the wardrobes gives the room a made-to-measure look, preventing the visual “clutter” that freestanding wardrobes often bring.
Key features in this install included:
- Seamless use of vertical space, creating maximum storage without making the room feel heavy
- Integrated handles for a minimalist finish
- A balanced design that complements the proportions of the loft conversion
- Internal layouts tailored to the client’s needs, including hanging space, shelves, and compartments
Though this furniture is technically “standard-shaped,” the precision in its build ensures it sits perfectly within the loft’s architecture. No gaps. No wasted areas. Just clean, intelligent design.
Loft Bedroom 2: Practical, Beautiful, Perfectly Balanced
The second bedroom is another great example of how fitted carpentry elevates even the simplest layout. Again, the room allowed for classic wardrobe shapes, but bespoke craftsmanship makes all the difference.
Here we introduced a refined, contemporary wardrobe design that blends effortlessly with the client’s décor. Subtle detailing, a balanced presence along the wall, and perfectly proportioned doors create a feeling of quality that you simply don’t get with mass-produced furniture.
Highlights include:
- Optimised internal storage, custom-built for the client’s belongings
- Perfect alignment with existing room features — floors, skirting, windows
- A premium finish that adds warmth and character to the loft
- A sense of symmetry that enhances the room’s architectural shape
These two lofts showcase an important lesson: even when the furniture shape appears “standard,” true made-to-measure installation transforms the space. The wardrobes look like they were designed with the house, not simply added to it.
