Built in Alcove Wardrobes
The perfect way to reclaim unused bedroom alcove space is to create beautifully Built in alcove wardrobes that provide ample storage and enhance your living space appeal.
Built in alcove wardrobes come in all shapes and sizes, some are floor to ceiling while others leave storage space above them.
One thing all bedroom alcove wardrobes have in common is that they look great and are extremely functional, enabling you to make use of the spaces in alcoves that often get burdened with mismatched freestanding furniture.
We can fit your alcove with a wardrobe, cabinet, or shelving that makes the most of the space. Each piece is carefully made to fit perfectly, whether you need storage for clothes and accessories or a custom unit to show off your favourite items.
















Built in Alcove Wardrobe Design
Another big advantage of installing fitted wardrobes is that you can fully customise the appearance and functionality of them.
From simple, modern hinge door wardrobes to more ornate and elegant designs, you have the freedom to create any style of fitted wardrobe for your alcoves.
Internally you can leave the space dedicated for hanging clothes such as dresses or suits or you can incorporate drawers and cubby holes for additional storage space for folded clothing.
Fitted Alcove Wardrobes (Finishes)
Use painted warm woods for a more comfortable and homelier atmosphere, ideal for rustic or rural properties or finish your wardrobe in lighter woods or paint finishes to get a vibrant and modern aesthetic.
Our expertise means that whatever design preference you have, we will be able to bring your ideas to life and create something memorable, long-lasting and visually appealing. We pride ourselves on creating fitted alcove wardrobes that are fully customisable and bespoke to your lifestyle.
Common Questions about our Fitted Alcove Wardrobes
What Are Fitted Alcove Wardrobes?
Fitted alcove wardrobes are bespoke storage solutions designed to fit perfectly into recessed wall spaces, typically found on either side of a chimney breast or other architectural feature.
Unlike stand alone furniture, these wardrobes are crafted to the exact width, height, and depth of your alcove, making use of every inch of space and creating a seamless, built-in look.
You can personalize the interior with hanging rails, drawers, shelves, or even integrated lighting.
Because they align precisely with the room’s existing structure, fitted alcove wardrobes offer a practical, clutter-free storage solution that enhances the overall appearance of the space.
How Much Do Fitted Alcove Wardrobes Cost ?
Prices for fitted alcove wardrobes start at £1,800.
Most standard-sized designs fall between £2,500 and £4,500.
The final cost depends on the alcove’s width and height, your choice of doors and materials, and any added internal features such as drawers, shelving, or lighting.
If both alcoves in a room are being fitted with matching units, we can often offer a combined package.
Because every alcove is unique in size and depth, a tailored quote is provided following the initial design consultation.
Can You Fit Wardrobes Into Uneven or Irregular Alcoves?
Bespoke alcove wardrobes are perfect for uneven walls, sloping ceilings, or irregular recesses.
We take accurate on-site measurements to ensure the wardrobe is crafted to match every angle and contour of the space.
This includes working around coving, skirting boards, sloped ceilings, and variations in flooring to achieve a seamless finish.
Since mass-produced wardrobes rarely fit these areas properly, a made-to-measure wardrobe is the best solution for a clean, practical result.
Can I Choose the Interior Layout?
The internal layout of your alcove wardrobe can be fully tailored to match your storage requirements.
Whether you need double hanging space for clothes, adjustable shelving, built-in drawers, or dedicated shoe storage, we’ll arrange the interior around your specific needs.
Additional features such as soft-close runners, pull-out rails, and integrated lighting can also be included to enhance everyday functionality.
Because what’s inside matters just as much as the exterior finish, we design both to fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
Can the Design Match My Existing Room Style?
We can tailor your alcove wardrobes to match the style and finish of your room.
Whether you prefer minimalist slab doors, classic shaker panels, high-gloss finishes, or painted woodgrain, we’ll adapt the design to suit your décor.
Handles, hinges, and colour finishes are all selected to work harmoniously with existing elements such as skirting boards, fireplaces, or nearby cabinetry.
Since visual continuity greatly improves the overall feel of a room, this is one of the most crucial aspects of the design process.
Are Fitted Alcove Wardrobes Suitable for Living Rooms or Hallways?
Although alcove wardrobes are most commonly used in bedrooms, we also create them for living rooms, hallways, and home offices.
In living areas, alcove units can be designed with open shelving, cupboards, or recesses for a TV.
In hallways, they offer excellent space for coats or shoes without encroaching on the circulation area. Every unit is measured and built to suit the room’s specific proportions.
Since these spaces often call for discreet, functional storage, a custom alcove solution is both practical and visually appealing.
Can You Design Alcove Wardrobes With Open Shelving?
Open shelving can be integrated into your fitted alcove wardrobes for both decorative and functional purposes.
Many clients choose to have open shelves placed above or alongside cupboards to display books, ornaments, or media equipment.
Shelving can be arranged symmetrically on either side of a chimney breast or used to balance storage with easy access.
These elements are crafted from the same materials and finishes as the rest of the unit to ensure a consistent look.
Because open shelving offers both practicality and visual appeal, it’s a highly popular feature in alcove storage solutions.
Is it possible to use one alcove for a wardrobe and the other for shelving?
We can create asymmetrical alcove storage tailored to how you want to use each side of the room.
For instance, you might opt for a full-height wardrobe on one side and lower cabinets with shelving on the other.
This approach is common in living rooms or bedrooms where both balance and functionality need careful consideration.
Each side of the alcove is designed to serve its specific purpose while maintaining visual harmony overall.
Because flexibility is a key benefit of bespoke furniture, mixed layouts are fully achievable.
