They offer many benefits over freestanding closets, including:

• More space: Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes allow you to build storage right to the top of the ceiling, meaning you won't waste the dead space that is often found on top of freestanding wardrobes. This additional space allows you to store more clothes in less floor space than a regular wardrobe.
• Less clutter: The extra height of floor-to-ceiling closets means that you can fit more things inside. This makes it easy to keep your apparel organised by type, colour or other criteria so that when you go looking for something specific, it's not buried under piles of clothes or other items.
• Greater flexibility: All of our luxury wardrobes can be customised to fit your needs perfectly. You can have shelves installed at any height of your choosing. You can add special features such as scarf hooks and pull-out shoe racks.  Whatever you need to perfectly organise your clothes and accessories, we can do it - and we'll make sure every inch of available space is used.

How do you measure the space for a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe installation?

If you're planning to install a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, there are a few things you need to know about measuring the space.

The first step is to measure the length and width of your room, including any obstructions like doors or windows. Next, measure along the walls to get the exact distance between two opposite corners. Finally, measure up from the floor to the ceiling to determine how high your wardrobe needs to be. 

What types of materials are used in the construction of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes?

At FCI London, we've been designing luxury wardrobes since 1985 and we are experts at selecting the best materials and finishes for each type of closet. The most common materials used in the construction of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes include:

1. Wood

Wood is one of the most commonly used materials for our floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. Wood not only provides natural warmth and a welcome connection to nature, but it is also long-lasting and extremely durable. We use a variety of woods in a range of natural shades that will add character to any room. They offer a sturdy, attractive look that many of our customers prefer over other materials. Wood can be stained or painted to match any decorating style and it will last for years with proper maintenance.

2. Particle Board

Particle board is made from wood residue that has been flattened into smooth sheets. It is an affordable and environmentally friendly material. The even surface takes paint extremely well, so it's a great option if you'd like to decorate your wardrobe in a style that complements existing bedroom decor.

3. Glass

Glass is frequently used in luxury wardrobes to create the open, airy feeling of a walk-in wardrobe Glass provides more light than other materials, which can make your space feel more inviting and spacious. It also offers an elegant look and style while being especially functional and practical - you can see the contents of your entire wardrobe at a mere glance.
