Bespoke Fitted Wardrobes in Harpenden: Angled Fitted Wardrobes in Hertfordshire
Precision made fitted wardrobes in Hertfordshire for sloped, angled ceilings in Harpenden
Harpenden is renowned for its diverse architecture, from traditional period homes with exposed beams to modern conversions. At Simply Fitted Wardrobes, we specialise in these not so standard spaces.
This featured project in Harpenden showcases our Blyton Range of fitted wardrobes in Indigo Blue, proving that modern flat slab design can seamlessly integrate with rustic architectural features like oak beams and timber window frames.
The design challenge for these fitted wardrobe in Harpenden: Maximising the Slope
The primary goal for this Harpenden homeowner was to utilise every single millimetre of a gentle ceiling slope without the unsightly filler panels used by modular retailers. These large filler panels result in lots of wasted space, crucial to avoid with complex angled ceilings.
-
Material Harmony: We specified warm Lancaster oak for the internal carcasses to perfectly match the property’s original oak beams and window frames, creating a cohesive, built-in feel.
-
Engineering the Angled Ceiling: For sloped, angled ceilings, door functionality is critical. These fitted wardrobes feature single doors hinged from the right-hand edge. This allows each door to open away from the ceiling angle. The only technical way to ensure full clearance and accessibility in an angled build.
The Technical Layout for these bespoke wardrobes: From the lowest point to the peak
A truly bespoke build allows for a graduated internal configuration that follows the roofline. This project features a strategic storage progression:
-
The Low Point: Adjustable shelving to maximise the shallowest part of the slope.
-
The Mid-Section: Transitions into full length long hanging for gowns, dresses and coats.
-
The Peak: Double hanging wardrobes as well as integrated internal drawers, utilising the maximum height of the room.
-
Our Standard: As with all our Hertfordshire fitted wardrobe projects, this project features 18mm rigid built carcasses with solid back and top panels.
Simply Fitted Wardrobes vs. The Alternatives
Homeowners in Harpenden often find that standard fitted wardrobes leave large gaps or require massive facia boards to deal with the slope.
