The pros of having wardrobes that go all the way to the ceiling

1. Storage Space

Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes allow for plenty of storage space. The average person needs at least 8 feet worth of space for their wardrobe. Having shelves that go all the way to the ceiling means you can maximise your space instead of sacrificing that little bit of unused space that you see on top of a freestanding wardrobe. 

We are fanatical about luxury fitted wardrobe design.

2. Vertical Space

Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes allow you to use vertical space well. You can store smaller items on the narrow top shelves and larger items on wider bottom shelves. It's a win-win situation: more space for clothes and shoes and nd less clutter on the floor.

3. Aesthetics

Finally, wardrobes that go all the way to the ceiling create an elegant look for your bedroom. They blend seamlessly into your space and look less obtrusive. For design inspiration and ideas on how to design your floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, take a look at our interior design project portfolio where we have designed custom cabinets for many happy clients. 

4. Built To Fit Your Space

A wardrobe that goes all the way to the ceiling is built to fit perfectly in your space. No matter the size or shape of your room, it can be installed in a way that complements your interior. With freestanding wardrobes, you run the risk of having to put your closet in an awkward place and create dead space in corners. 

The cons of having wardrobes that go all the way to the ceiling

One of the most common problems with wardrobes that go all the way to the ceiling is that they can be difficult to clean. Dust and dirt can collect in the upper corners as well as on top of your wardrobe, which is not easily accessible.

It also takes some time to install floor-to-ceiling wardrobes as they are custom-made. You'll have to wait longer than if you purchased a ready-to-use, freestanding wardrobe from a supplier. Bespoke luxury wardrobes are also more expensive because of the time taken to customise them as well as the high-quality materials used. 

How to make sure your floor-to-ceiling wardrobe is functional and looks fabulous 

If you’re thinking about investing in a custom floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, we’d love to get you started on your journey.  We’ve been designing luxury wardrobes for almost 40 years and we know how to create high-quality pieces that look incredible and will stand the test of time. We've put together a few tips to make sure you'll get what you want out of your custom wardrobe.

• Make sure you have enough storage space for all of your clothes - measure the area you have available for the wardrobe and make sure to use every inch of space. 
• Think about what your ideal closet would look like. Do you need special shelves for shoes or do you prefer them kept in boxes? Are there any unique features, such as small drawers, hooks and racks for apparel like scarves, ties and jewellery that would make life easier for you?

These are some of the questions to think about when planning your own custom floor-to-ceiling wardrobes.

How your floor-to-ceiling wardrobe could look

We've designed residential and commercial spaces all over the world, from London to the US and Africa to the Middle East—and we'd love to design yours too.

The height of your wardrobe is one of the most important factors in your planning. If you have a large space and want to make it feel even more expansive, then a tall wardrobe can be just the thing.

It's not merely about aesthetics though: tall wardrobes give you way more storage space. When considering the type of wardrobe design that will work best for you, you should think first about the size followed by the style that you prefer. 

Here are some examples of our floor-to-ceiling wardrobes:

• Wardrobe Design # 31 by Logo is perfect if you have a slope in your ceiling. The design will match seamlessly through the corners.
