Three things that change in a small room
Doors slide instead of hinge. Tall wardrobes reach the ceiling. Interiors get shallower and smarter.
- Sliding mirror or glass doors free up 60 cm of floor space
- Full-height carcasses use the dead space above conventional wardrobes
- Shallow 45–50 cm depth interiors with side-hung rails for tight rooms
- Mirror fronts visually double the room's footprint
Small bedroom layouts that work
A single sliding wardrobe across the wall opposite the bed. An over-bed bridge that wraps the headboard. Alcove cupboards either side of a chimney breast. We've done all three in London box rooms and single bedrooms — see the installs page for examples.
Frequently asked questions
- How tall can a 'tall wardrobe' actually be?
- We routinely build to 2.6 m and have gone to 2.9 m where the ceiling allows. Higher cabinets use top-flap doors for rarely-used storage.
- Will sliding doors look bulky in a small room?
- Mirrored sliding doors are usually the opposite — they bounce light around and make the room feel larger.
