Bedroom Furniture to Fit Sloping Ceilings

Posted on 17/06/2016
White hinged fitted wardrobes for a sloping ceiling

Over the years our installers have carried out fitted furniture installations in thousands of homes and one of the things we have learnt is that no two rooms are ever the same. Whilst there are the obvious dimension differences, each room will contain its own unique features – throwing up new challenges with every project.


One feature that we regularly get asked about by customers is sloping ceilings. Angled ceilings are particularly common in projects where the customer is looking to install a fitted wardrobe in a loft conversion, although it is not uncommon to find them in other types of property. Fortunately, the bespoke nature of our furniture means that we can overcome this problem whilst still maintaining a high standard of finish.


In many instances a small angle can be easily incorporated into the design of your furniture without the need for angled doors. However, for larger angles, there are a few things you may want to consider: 


  • Hinged Door Wardrobes: If you have sloping ceilings, we would nearly always recommend that you opt for a hinged wardrobe design, as we believe they offer fewer limitations than sliding alternatives. From our collection, the Bliss, Premier and Solid Wood ranges can all be adapted to take into account a sloped ceiling. 
  • Sliding Door Wardrobes: For those who have their heart set on a sliding wardrobe, you may want to take a look at our Calgary range. This stylish finish is available with a selection of six frame colours, five patterned glass designs and 22 coloured glass designs – the possibilities are almost limitless!


Bespoke fitted bedroom furniture is the ideal solution if you are looking to overcome sloping ceilings. Unlike traditional stand-alone pieces, the floor to ceiling design of our furniture means that we can help you make full use of the space you have available – with no gaps left in which dust can gather.


If you would like to discover how we can help you overcome the unique characteristics of your home, do not hesitate to pop in and see us at our showroom. We have a wide range of design options available and are confident we can overcome most issues.
