The Smart Way For Fitted Wardrobes In London Homes
Bespoke Craftsmanship, True Value, London Style
Whether you are renovating a tall Victorian terrace in Islington or a compact modern apartment in Canary Wharf, the London property market presents a unique set of storage challenges. Most homeowners assume they have two choices: overpriced high-street showrooms or flimsy flat-pack “stop-gaps.”
At Simply Fitted Wardrobes, we offer a third way. By manufacturing everything in our Essex studio and factory, we provide Londoners with an “Artisan Life Hack.” You get the exact same premium materials and precision fitting as a Chelsea boutique but because we don’t pay Marylebone rents, those savings stay in your pocket.
The “Middleman” Myth: Why London Showrooms Cost More
When you walk into a glitzy London showroom, you aren’t just paying for wood and labor. You are paying for:
-
Astronomical Rents: A shopfront in West or North London can cost six figures a year just to keep the lights on.
-
Sales Commissions: Many national firms use high-pressure salespeople who take a cut of your project total.
-
The Sub-Contractor Lottery: Large firms often outsource the fitting to whoever is available that day.
The Simply Fitted Difference: We are the manufactures. We design your project, we manufacture the fitted wardrobes in our own Essex workshop and our own team carries out the installation. Accountability is our greatest luxury. Find out all you need to know about how we make our fitted wardrobes and more in our Fitted Wardrobes Guide.
Solving the London Damp Crisis
One of the most common issues in London’s older brickwork. Especially in areas such as Hackney and Walthamstow, is condensation and mould growth behind fitted furniture.
Our Solution
Most “big brand” wardrobes are pressed tight against cold external walls. We engineer our wardrobes with a 20mm “Breather Gap” as well as discreet ventilation ports. This ensures airflow behind the unit, protecting your clothes and your home’s structural health.
Mastering London Properties With A Scribe
London homes are famous for “wonky” architecture. Chimney breasts, sloping ceilings and out of level floors are the standard.
-
Period Homes: Our Rockingham Shaker Collection is a favorite for heritage properties near Highbury Fields, where we scribe every panel to the exact profile of your 100-year-old walls.
-
Modern Spaces: For the sleek aesthetic of Docklands or Southbank, our Blyton Range offers handleless, minimalist perfection that maximises every inch of height.
-
Loft Conversions: As London’s premier loft wardrobe specialists, we thrive on the complex angles of eaves storage that modular units simply can’t handle.
A Featured London Project: Scandinavian Simplicity “Working alongside a leading London interior designer, we recently executed a crisp, Mallory-style installation in a North London master suite. Featuring a Norwegian Oak exterior and Grey Linen interiors. This project showcased our technical precision—coordinating ceiling spotlight plans to ensure perfect illumination. The result was a seamless wall-to-wall run complemented by a matching bespoke headboard and bedside units.”
We Speak London
We know that a London installation requires more than just a screwdriver. It requires a logistics plan.
-
Parking & Permits: From Red Routes to tricky parking zones, we handle the logistics.
-
Direct-to-Room Delivery: We don’t “drop-ship” boxes to your hallway. Our team manages the entire delivery and installation process, ensuring your home is respected from the start to finish of each project.
