Preston · Fitted Wardrobes
Preston bedrooms come in all shapes — bay-fronted Victorian terraces in Frenchwood, generous semis in Fulwood, compact new-build rooms in the developments off Cottam. The one thing they all share is that off-the-shelf wardrobes rarely make the most of the space. Fitted, designed properly, will give you a third more storage in the same footprint.
We start with what you own. How many long-hang garments? How many short? Drawers or shelves for knitwear? Where do the shoes live? A fitted wardrobe should feel obvious to use the moment you open the doors — and that comes from designing the inside first, not the outside.
Sloping ceilings, chimney breasts, bay windows and boxed-in stair bulkheads are all standard fare in Preston bedrooms. We build the carcass to follow the room, scribe to coving and skirting, and use the awkward corners for shoe stacks or pull-out tie rails rather than leaving them as dead space.
From plain Shaker doors through to handleless push-to-open fronts and full-height mirrored panels, we'll show samples and finishes in your own room light before any decisions are locked in. Painted finishes are sprayed for a flawless look, or hand-applied where a softer brushed finish is preferred.
We can integrate LED lighting on motion sensors, soft-close hinges and drawer runners, and tie the cabinetry into the bedroom's wider decorating scheme so it reads as part of the architecture rather than a separate piece of furniture.
