Bespoke Built-In Eaves Storage Cupboard

This cupboard fits into the low wall beneath a sloping ceiling. Its simple two-door front keeps the storage compact and leaves the surrounding floor area open.

The pale finish sits quietly against the light walls, with small vertical handles providing access. The overall photograph shows the relationship between the cupboard, skirting and roof slope.

The cupboard occupies the low wall beneath the roof slope, using an area that would not suit a full-height wardrobe. Two pale framed doors sit within a simple surrounding opening, with small metallic handles at the centre. The finish relates to the light walls and carpet, allowing the storage to remain discreet in the bedroom. Its low proportions make use of the eaves wall while keeping the main floor area open.

Eaves storage starts with a measured section through the roof space. Useful depth, headroom and the size of the access opening can vary considerably. The internal arrangement should be designed around the objects to be stored and any services requiring access, while the visible doors can remain aligned with the finished room wall.
