Project: Bespoke Loft Wardrobe & Bookshelf Build – Walthamstow

For this loft project in Walthamstow, we designed and installed a made-to-measure storage solution that works with the sloping roofline. The build combines under-eaves shelving with a run of full-height wardrobes and drawers, creating maximum storage while keeping the room clean and streamlined.

The brief

The client wanted:

• Practical storage that fits the loft angles and awkward spaces
• A combination of hanging space, drawers, and shelving
• A neat, built-in look with uniform doors and modern handles
• A layout that keeps everything accessible without wasting space

What we did

• Built a custom timber/MDF framework to suit the loft’s sloping ceiling and straight wall sections.
• Installed under-eaves book shelving to make use of the low-height area—ideal for books, baskets, and display.
• Fitted full-height wardrobes on the main wall with:
  • Hanging rails for coats and clothing
  • Integrated drawer stacks for folded items and accessories
• Finished with shaker-style doors and black handles, aligned for clean gaps and smooth operation.

Result

A smart loft fit-out that turns unused areas into high-capacity storage—book shelves under the eaves, wardrobes for hanging, and drawers for organisation, all with a tidy built-in finish.
