Highgate Fitted Wardrobes

This Highgate bedroom uses fitted wardrobes on both sides of the fireplace, turning the wall into a balanced storage composition while keeping the chimney breast and fireplace visually clear.

The simple full-height fronts keep the wardrobes quiet within the room and allow the existing architectural features to remain prominent.

Working on opposite sides of a fireplace makes symmetry and proportion especially visible. The wardrobes need to align in height, projection and door spacing while responding to the actual dimensions of each alcove.

The closed elevation therefore depends on careful setting out rather than decorative detail.

The open photographs show a combination of hanging space, upper shelving and lower drawers. This gives the wardrobe practical everyday storage while keeping the external appearance restrained.

The internal arrangement uses the full available height so the fitted furniture makes effective use of the bedroom alcoves.

The grey finish relates closely to the wall colour and fireplace surround, helping the wardrobes feel integrated rather than added as separate pieces.

Because the front design is intentionally simple, door alignment, margins and the relationship with the cornice become important parts of the finished result.

The completed wardrobes provide substantial concealed storage while preserving a calm, balanced bedroom elevation around the fireplace.

For similar fitted wardrobes and made-to-measure bedroom storage, Form & Frame can coordinate survey, technical development, specialist manufacture where appropriate, installation and final adjustment.
