Core service Fitted wardrobes in St johns Wood

Fitted Wardrobes

The most common job we do in NW8. Six door collections across hinged, sliding and walk-in builds. Every unit is cut to the room's actual dimensions and delivered in sections small enough for a narrow staircase. Where original cornicing exists, the wardrobe stops below it with a clean shadow gap.

Whole-home commissions Fitted kitchens in St johns Wood

Fitted Kitchens & Utilities

We started as a wardrobe specialist. Kitchens followed naturally. A big share of our NW8 kitchen work is in period houses: galley kitchens being opened into the dining room, side-return extensions, and cabinetry that has to slot in around the original chimney breast and services. We build the cabinetry. You choose worktops, appliances and splashbacks.

London manufacturing · NW8 design

What St johns Wood homes demand of a fitted-furniture maker.

St John's Wood property is tall, ornate and built to impress. These are the three constraints that come up on almost every NW8 project, and how our workshop handles them.

Tall ceilings St johns Wood design constraint · 01

Deep cornices and 3-metre ceilings change how a wardrobe is built.

The St johns Wood problem

A St John's Wood villa bedroom often runs to a 3.1m ceiling under a deep ornate cornice. A standard 2.4m wardrobe leaves a metre of dead wall above it, and run to full height it would crash straight through the cornice plaster.

Metro's design answer

We build the run wall-to-wall and floor-to-cornice, measuring to the underside of the moulding so the carcase stops below it with a clean shadow gap. The cornice stays unbroken and the full height of the room becomes usable storage.

Reception rooms St johns Wood design constraint · 02

Double drawing rooms need joinery that reads as architecture.

The St johns Wood problem

The first-floor reception in a mansion flat is wide, with a marble chimney breast and alcoves either side. A freestanding media unit looks lost in it, and shallow shelving wastes the alcove depth.

Metro's design answer

We fit a wall-to-wall media and library wall around the chimney breast: alcove cabinets to either side, a recessed TV bay, open shelving above, cable management hidden behind. Hand-painted to lift the room, built in as if it had always been there.

Mansion flats St johns Wood design constraint · 03

Mansion-block box rooms make better dressing rooms than bedrooms.

The St johns Wood problem

Most mansion flats have a small third room that is too tight for a comfortable bedroom but perfect for a dressing room. Off-the-shelf units leave gaps at every wall and waste the corners.

Metro's manufacturing answer

We work every wall floor-to-ceiling: hanging on two runs, a shallow shelved wall, and a central island of drawers. The box room becomes a full walk-in with nothing freestanding and no dead space.

How St johns Wood homes actually use Metro

Four common St johns Wood wardrobe scenarios.

Most NW8 enquiries fall into one of four property situations. Below is what each typically looks like.

Scenario 01

Stucco villa master bedroom under a deep cornice

The situation: Owners of a Hamilton Terrace villa with a 3.1m ceiling and an ornate cornice they wanted untouched. A chain quote proposed 2.4m units that left a metre of bare wall above.

What they got: A wall-to-wall Heritage Painted run, floor-to-cornice, hand-painted in a heritage colour. Internal drawers and pull-down rails reached the full height. Cornice left fully exposed with an 8mm shadow gap.

Range: Heritage Painted Project size: ~£7,800

Scenario 02

Mansion-flat third bedroom turned dressing room

The situation: A couple in a Grove End Road mansion flat wanted the small third room as a dressing room. National units left gaps at every wall.

What they got: Every wall worked floor-to-ceiling: two hanging runs, a shelved wall, central island of drawers, mirror and perimeter LED. A full walk-in with nothing freestanding.

Range: Walk-In Project size: ~£8,600

Scenario 03

First-floor reception media and library wall

The situation: A wide drawing room with a marble chimney breast and a TV on a freestanding stand that looked stranded.

What they got: A wall-to-wall Opulence media-and-library wall around the chimney breast: alcove cabinets, recessed TV bay, open shelving, hidden cables. Hand-painted deep green.

Range: Opulence Project size: ~£9,200

Scenario 04

Guest bedroom full-height sliding wardrobe

The situation: A tall, narrow guest room where hinged doors would have fouled the bed and wasted the height.

What they got: Floor-to-cornice fluted-glass sliders with internal shelving and a mirror panel that doubled the light. Built tight between both side walls.

Range: Sliding Door Project size: ~£5,600

“I just love love love our alcove wardrobes. I had some specific design requests because the alcoves are a slightly different size and I wanted the wardrobes to be the same. The designer Luci was flexible to my requests and got it to exactly how I wanted it. Their price is amazing… best out of the several quotes I received. Plus they were so quick and efficient everything including installation done in two weeks. Installation was done swiftly in one day and they left the room spotless. Total gem of a company, I highly recommend. I will be wanting to work with them for other projects for sure.”

St johns Wood: common questions

A few things NW8 clients tend to ask.

Can you build a wardrobe to a 3-metre ceiling without covering the cornice?

Yes. We measure to the underside of the cornice and build the run floor-to-cornice with a clean shadow gap, so the moulding stays fully visible. Internal pull-down rails and upper drawers make the extra height usable rather than wasted.

Can you fit a media and library wall in a mansion-flat reception room?

Yes. We build wall-to-wall around the chimney breast: alcove cabinets either side, a recessed TV bay, open shelving above and concealed cable runs. It reads as joinery that was always part of the room, not a freestanding unit.

My mansion flat has a small box room. Is it worth a walk-in?

Almost always. We work every wall floor-to-ceiling with hanging, shelving and a central island, so a room too tight for a bed becomes a proper dressing room with no wasted corners.

Do mansion-block rules affect the work?

Internal fitted furniture inside your own flat is normally unaffected by block rules, but we keep fixings to studwork and battens and avoid any structural alteration. If your lease or block has specific requirements we will work to them.

How much does a fitted wardrobe in St John's Wood cost?

Most NW8 projects fall between £4,200 and £9,500, depending on size, range, finish and internal fit-out. Taller corniced rooms and walk-ins sit at the upper end. Every quote is fixed and itemised before you sign.

How long does a St John's Wood project take?

Your 3D design and itemised quotation arrive within two to three days of the home visit. Once you approve it, the wardrobe is made in our Wembley workshop and fitted within 21 days, usually one to two days on site for a single wardrobe and a little longer for a full bedroom suite. You get a confirmed fitting date when you sign off the design, not a window.

What's the difference between Metro and a national chain?

We make in London, six miles away in Wembley, not a Midlands factory. Every piece is cut for your exact room, and the team that designs, builds and fits is all ours, with no subcontractors.
