Fitted Wardrobes for Sloping Ceilings

People are trying to renovate rather than relocate because it’s so expensive with legal fees, stamp duty and estate agent costs when you go about purchasing a new property. If you can find extra space utilising the awkward shape rooms or adding a loft extension, it can save a lot of the cost and heartache but will still give you the potential to have the house you always dreamt of.

Rather than letting sloping ceilings deter you from transforming top-floor rooms, use what you have and turn it into a design feature. Freestanding wardrobes might not be a possibility where space is compromised. You might not have adequate height across the room to accommodate them, so you need to weigh up suitable options to deal with all those awkward slants.

Although a sloping ceiling might usually leave you short of space, you can make the most of what you have with the right-angled fitted furniture. Sloping ceiling wardrobes tailored to your needs is a better solution. Made to measure, they can provide any angle and offer a combination of hanging space, shelves and drawers. Then you do not need to add a chest of drawers or other additional furniture (aside from the bed!) to the room, as everything is incorporated into one clever wardrobe design that gives you more floor space when needed.

Sloping or angled doors mean the most awkward ceilings can be transformed into valuable and practical storage, and the results can be pretty eye-catching. You can even consider sliding wardrobe doors so they open into the room if the other furniture is close to the wardrobe itself. Aspects like this are one of the many things designers can run through with you to find a cupboard arrangement that would meet (and most likely exceed!) your requirements. Going bespoke gives you much more flexibility than buying freestanding furniture. Also, there is less wasted space, as you do not necessarily need back panels on a custom-built sloping ceiling wardrobe as everything is secured onto the wall, unlike the freestanding options.

Approaching sloping ceiling rooms in this manner, you can soon transform a small room into one with multiple possibilities. Improving your property in this way will only add to its value. You show people how much space can be created through the correct furniture choices. Sadly not everyone has that vision and will rule out re-modelling smaller rooms, which is a real shame when you see how much can be achieved.
