Ideas to Organise the inside of your Fitted Wardrobes
What's the perfect Clothes Rail Height?
You may need a section for long hanging, but more for shorter hanging like shirts and T shirts.
Here is some quick heights that you should be aiming for
For single hanging such as Shirts and T shits, suite jackets, then allowing 1 meter is sufficient in most cases, however in cases of smaller people, then 80 centimetres will be sufficient, allowing for better use of the remaining space.
Also hanging Trousers will only require the same, that’s around 80 centimetres
However for dresses and other long hanging items, such as winter coats, then you will require around 1.5 metres perhaps a little more allowing 1.6 metres to be in the safe side.
Shelves in your Wardrobe - Adjustable are best
Shelves are so useful inside fitted wardrobes after Clothes hanging rails. You actually get more storage on shelves than on hanging rails.
Top shelf in your Wardrobe
The top shelf of a built in wardrobe works best for things you only reach for occasionally, such as bedding or towels. This area is great for holding travel bags, spare linens, off-season outfits, and storage containers.
Most Bespoke Fitted wardrobes have this space reserved for larger or less frequently needed items, helping to keep the wardrobe area tidy and uncluttered.
Drawers inside Wardrobes
For small items like clothes that easily wrinkle, built in wardrobe drawers are a smart choice—they boost vertical storage, enhance tidiness, and prevent creases.
In contrast to Fixed open shelving, which often wastes space and invites mess (insisted on adjustable shelving for flexibility).
Drawers make full use of the wardrobe’s depth, stack neatly, and contribute to a nice clean and uncluttered look.
Consider when you require Accessory Drawers, Shallow Drawers, or Deep Drawers
Shoe racks
We can make dedicated shoe shelving to wonderfully display your wonderful and perhaps extensive shoe collection, making styling your outfits all the much easier.
The best shoe storage for a in built wardrobe is perhaps angled shelving, these are the most effective, creating a clutter free aesthetic. The main advantage for angled shelves is that they keep pairs of shoes or footwear in place, and make it easy to see all your shoes easily.
Pull-out racks make it easy to reach shoes stored at the bottom of the wardrobe without having to rummage around.
Shallow shelves are perfect for tight or narrow spaces, keeping every pair visible and easy to grab, so nothing gets lost or forgotten.
Mirrors in or on your Wardrobe
- Mirrored doors can be created by replacing solid panel with a mirror.
- Hang a mirror on the back of doors for a handy place for mirrors.
This small upgrade enhances how well your built-in wardrobe works while making it feel both airier and more illuminated.
Add Lighting for Luxury
Here’s another smart idea for your fitted wardrobe — light up the inside.
A bit of lighting can instantly make the space feel bigger, brighter, and way more practical. No more fumbling around in the shadows just to find your favourite jumper.
LED Clothes Hanging rail
Think about adding an LED rail that comes with motion sensors. As soon as you open the wardrobe, the lights turn on by themselves, and they shut off when you close the door.
It’s a simple way to keep everything visible and neatly organized without any extra effort.

On the upper floor, often the first floor, the ceilings are between 2.4 metres to 2.8 metres. With the larger properties situated mainly in North Oxford, along the Woodstock Road and most of the side streets, such as St Margret’s Rd & Bevington Rd. Then on the Banbury Road and the side streets adjoining, these are houses are built in a Victorian Gothic style.
These homes with high ceilings with their ornate traditional detailing. ogee base skirting boards, double astragal dado rail and high picture rails, with high ceilings lend perfectly to our Victorian Style Fitted Wardrobes.
Built-in wardrobes represent an ideal storage solution for today’s compact living environments. In studios and very small flats—where furniture must serve clear purposes and fulfil multiple functions—a fitted wardrobe offers the most effective space-saving storage solution currently available.
Oxford Neighbourhoods Served
We make Fitted wardrobes for all of Oxfords home, in all areas, Cowley, Headington, Iffley Summertown, North Oxford, Jericho, Marston and Cumnor Hill to name a few.
Oxford’s housing market offers everything from charming thatched cottages to spacious modern homes. In North Oxford, particularly Summertown and Jericho, Victorian and Edwardian properties are common.
Period homes typically feature alcoves beside their fireplaces—perfect spots for bespoke built in alcove wardrobes or built in Cupboards. The same alcove design appears in many Victorian houses across Cowley and Iffley, which also date mainly from the Edwardian or Victorian era.
There, too, we can install custom fitted wardrobes. Additionally, Oxford has a significant number of 1930s houses, especially in the greater Headington area. These, too, include alcove spaces ideal for alcove cupboards. In bedrooms, those same alcoves work beautifully for fitted wardrobes.

Why a made to measure Fitted Wardrobe Solution is the only choice in Oxford
Unlike modern homes, which are all built from a standard blueprint, most properties in Oxford are far more varied.
In Oxford you’ll find older 1930s semis, post-modern designs from the 80s, period Victorian and Edwardian houses, and even Georgian homes on the streets opposite the Oxford Playhouse – all built by different construction crews.
This means that even in a row of houses that appear identical from the outside, the internal walls and dimensions will almost certainly differ.
As a result, wardrobe with standard-sized units simply won’t fit properly.
The only answer is to install bespoke, made-to-measure Fitted Wardrobes in Oxford.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fitted Wardrobes in Oxford
Are you a local Oxford company making fitted wardrobes?
Yes. We are based in Long Hanborough, between Eynsham and Woodstock — just outside Oxford. We have been making fitted wardrobes for Oxford homes for over 20 years, working across Summertown, Jericho, North Oxford, Headington, Cowley, Marston, and Cumnor Hill.
What wardrobe styles work best in Oxford period homes?
Victorian and Edwardian homes in North Oxford, particularly along the Woodstock Road, Banbury Road, and surrounding streets, suit our Victorian style fitted wardrobes with detailed cornicing, ogee skirting, panel doors, and period mouldings. 1930s homes in Headington suit Shaker style. Modern properties and new builds work well with contemporary handleless designs.
Can you fit wardrobes in rooms with high ceilings?
Yes — and Oxford’s Victorian and Edwardian properties are particularly well suited to floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes. Ground floor ceilings in North Oxford period homes are often 2.5 to 3 metres. First floor ceilings typically run from 2.4 to 2.8 metres. We build floor to ceiling as standard, eliminating the dust-collecting gap above a standard-height wardrobe.
Can you fit wardrobes into bedroom alcoves in Oxford homes?
Yes. Alcove wardrobes are one of our most popular requests for Oxford bedroom projects. Victorian and Edwardian homes in Jericho, Summertown, Cowley, and Iffley almost universally have chimney breast alcoves in bedrooms — perfectly proportioned for fitted wardrobes.
