Shaker wardrobes in Chislehurst: hanging space above, drawers below
The brief
A full wall of bedroom storage with hanging space and deep drawers, fitted neatly into the space available.
Designing shaker wardrobes
Three pairs of tall doors sit above two rows of wide drawers. The central wardrobe opens to a lit hanging rail with shelves above.
The drawers have built-in lighting, and long brass bar handles run across the doors and drawers.
We fitted the lighting ourselves too, so the hanging space lights up as soon as the doors open.

- Colour: Farrow & Ball No. 88 Lamp Room Gray

Shaker doors have a simple frame and a recessed panel. The style has been popular for over a century. It works in both period and modern homes.
Painted joinery is usually made from MDF. It stays flat and stable, so the paint goes on smooth and the edges stay sharp. The colour can be matched to the rest of the room.
Brass hardware adds a warm, classic accent. Unlacquered brass slowly develops a soft patina, while brushed brass stays even.
Why choose bespoke fitted wardrobes?
Made-to-measure wardrobes use the full height and width of the wall. You get far more storage than with freestanding furniture. The inside is planned around your clothes, with the right mix of hanging, shelves and drawers.
Made in our South East London workshop
Every piece was designed, made and finished in our own workshop in South East London. We cut each part on our CNC machine for accuracy, then assemble and finish it by hand.
Before production starts, you see the design as a 3D render. You also speak directly with the people making your joinery.

Questions about this fitted wardrobe in Chislehurst
Do you make bespoke fitted wardrobes in Chislehurst?
Yes. This project was designed, made and fitted for a home in Chislehurst, and we regularly travel from our South East London workshop to work across Chislehurst and nearby areas such as Bickley, Bromley, Petts Wood and Sidcup. Every piece is made to measure for the room it goes into. We also work throughout London and across the whole of the UK, so wherever you are, we would be happy to talk about your project.
How long do fitted wardrobes take to make and install?
It depends on what stage your home is at. If everything is ready, design to fitting usually takes around 1 to 2 months, and sometimes we can have it made and fitted in the same month you first come to us. Once we know more about your project, we will talk the dates through with you and agree them together.
Can fitted wardrobes be built around sloping ceilings and alcoves?
Yes. Because each wardrobe is made to measure, we can follow sloping ceilings, fill alcoves and work around windows, radiators and doors so that no space is wasted.
What is the best material for wardrobe interiors?
Wardrobe interiors need to be stable and hard-wearing. Melamine-faced board (such as Egger MFC) is a popular, easy-clean choice, while a timber or timber-effect finish like walnut or oak adds warmth when the doors are open.
Can you add lighting inside wardrobes?
Yes. LED strips can be built into the sides or shelves and set to switch on when the doors open, which makes it much easier to find clothes and gives the interior a high-end feel.
Client tips: planning shaker wardrobes in Chislehurst
- Count your hanging space. Measure how much long and short hanging you really need before the design starts.
- Use the full height. Cupboards up to the ceiling give extra space for cases and spare bedding.
- Add lighting. LED lights inside make it much easier to find clothes.
- Plan early. If the room is ready, design to fitting usually takes 1 to 2 months.
Every home is different, so we always start with a chat about your space. Get in touch to talk through your fitted wardrobe in Chislehurst.
