When most people think of walk-in wardrobes, they think of extravagant dressing rooms. In reality, a compact room or a well-thought-out corner can provide the same comfort each day – as long as you preserve clearances, select the right layout, and plan lighting at the outset.
The majority of people nowadays store all their clothes in wardrobes installed in their bedrooms. However, is it worth taking up valuable space in your living room for your belongings? It would be much wiser to use the free space in your living areas to install decorative elements and useful appliances. For personal items, including clothes and shoes, separate fitted walk-in wardrobes are the best option. This is a popular solution among many homeowners in the UK and other countries in 2025.
Putting together a built-in wardrobe under a slanted ceiling is a process that combines dead-accurate measuring and a grasp of how people actually use their storage in their daily lives. Our specialists often walked into homes where homeowners had tried those flat-pack disasters or generic units that didn’t quite fit, leaving gaps, wasted corners, and a lot of regret. Sloped spaces in attics are tricky beasts, but get them right, and they can become a nice part of the room.
Fitted wardrobes for sloping ceilings delight with their compactness and elegance. Whether in the attic or as a design solution, there are few obstacles to the desired comfort. Sloping fitted wardrobes are not as easy as they look, so installing or replacing them yourself may not turn out so graceful.
Urban Wardrobes’ joiners have spent years designing and installing sloping ceiling fitted wardrobes across London and the South East. The secret is to take time over careful measuring, proper planning and attention to the small aspects to make everyday use easy.
With so many options available on the market, it’s important to understand the differences in materials and choose a shaker-style design that you’ll love for years to come. Taking the time to select the right finish, panel detail, and overall look will ensure your wardrobe not only suits your space but also stands the test of time.
When people contact us or visit our showroom to discuss a new walk-in wardrobe or dressing room, the first thing we usually ask is what style they prefer. Do they want an open design or fitted with doors? Would they like LED lighting included? Is there enough space for an island unit? We also ask about practical needs — approximately how many drawers they require, whether they need shoe storage, and what kind of hanging space is needed (long, short, or both).
All of these details affect the overall design and cost, so getting a clear idea from the start helps us tailor the perfect solution.
To help you with your own planning, we’ve put together an article featuring 10 of the most popular walk-in wardrobe styles we’ve created for Urban customers — full of inspiration and real-life examples.
As a manufacturer of lacquered furniture fronts in London, our customers understand the importance of a lacquered finish—it allows you to choose the exact colour and shade you want, or to match any existing colour in your house, rather than being limited to the pre-selected options that laminated or foil-wrapped doors offer. Choosing a lacquered finish for your built-in cupboards means selecting from an almost unlimited palette of colours and colour combinations. This is because using the lacquered MDF we can create any shape of the door in any colour. Please find below the most trending colours for furniture fronts in 2025
Urban Wardrobes specialises in lacquered finish exteriors, and most of our bespoke wardrobe ranges are based on this sprayed finish. We work with either MDF or oak veneer panels, which allows us to create various door shapes—including handleless, integrated handle designs, shaker style, doors with mirrors, fabric inserts, and many more. This flexibility makes our furniture designer-oriented, with almost no limitations in terms of door shape, design, colour, or finish.
With so many companies now offering bespoke fitted furniture, it can be genuinely difficult to tell the difference between one product and another. Most people don’t have the time to visit multiple showrooms or inspect the quality up close. And let’s be honest—some companies rely on pushy sales tactics, throwing around “50% off” deals that come with pressure and tight deadlines. The result? Many people end up choosing something they don’t fully understand or truly want.

Excellent service by Urban Wardrobes in the design and installation of bespoke fitted wardrobes in a tricky space in our loft room.

Excellent quality and service!
We chose urban wardrobes after a recommendation from a friend who had fitted wardrobes in their new build flat. We had two alcove wardrobes in our bedroom in December - we live in a Victorian terrace where none of the walls are straight and we were amazed with the quality of the finish! The service from start to finish was excellent and I would definitely recommend.
