Loft Fitted Wardrobe — Lined Shaker family, Basel door

Door Construction

Inside the Lined Shaker family

The Lined Shaker adds one refinement to the classic frame: twin scribed bead lines traced around the panel, the detail Victorian joiners used to finish their best work. The four doors in the family share that anatomy — pressed from a single 18mm E1-grade MDF board and wrapped in one seamless skin — and differ in frame width, from the Carlton’s 20mm to the Auckland’s 105mm. Shown here doing what we most often build it for: an angled-top loft run cut to the slope of the ceiling, with a desk nook worked into the run.

Why this build matters

One board, no joints

Every Lined Shaker profile is routed from a single board and sealed under one skin — the crafted look, permanently stable.

Made for awkward rooms

Fine lining keeps its rhythm even when doors are cut to a slope — which is why this is our first recommendation for loft conversions and rooms under the eaves.

A door that stays flat

The 18mm MDF core resists warping and twist far better than veneered chipboard, so doors still close flush years on.

Safe for indoor air

E1-grade MDF emits well below the formaldehyde threshold set for European homes — safe in bedrooms and children’s rooms.

About This Style

Loft bedrooms have the best light in the house and the worst walls — sloping ceilings, low eaves, and not a single flat run a freestanding wardrobe can use. A loft fitted wardrobe turns exactly that space into storage: every door cut to the slope, every carcass built to the pitch of your roof, down to the last usable centimetre. Shown here on the Basel, our Lined Shaker door, with a study nook worked into the run.

How it works: at the home visit we measure the pitch and every height across the run; carcasses and angled-top doors are then cut in our Wembley workshop to follow the ceiling exactly — no filler triangles, no dead corners. The Lined Shaker family’s scribed-bead detail (routed into an 18mm E1-grade MDF core, wrapped in one seamless skin) keeps its rhythm even on sloped doors, which is why it is our first pick for eaves rooms. Soft-close Blum hinges throughout; low-eaves sections open on lift-up or reduced-height doors as the slope demands.

Make it yours: four frame widths from 20mm to 105mm (tap the door names above), 80+ matt, superior matt and woodgrain finishes, ten interior colours — and the same build handles dormers, chimney breasts and knee walls.

Every loft wardrobe is designed at a free home visit, made to measure in North London, and installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.

Loft Wardrobes London

The best storage in the house is under the roof

A loft conversion adds a bedroom but rarely adds storage — the sloping walls defeat every wardrobe you can buy. Building fitted is the only real answer: the run follows the pitch, the eaves become drawers, and the room gains metres of storage precisely where nothing else could stand. Done well, the sloped run looks intentional — architecture, not compromise.

Every loft project is measured pitch-and-all at a free home visit and built in our Wembley workshop — angled-top doors, dormer returns, knee-wall drawers and desk nooks — in 80+ matt, superior matt and woodgrain finishes with ten interior colours, installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Loft & sloping-ceiling wardrobes: your questions answered

Can you fit wardrobes under a sloping ceiling?

Yes — it is a Metro speciality. Carcasses and doors are cut to your measured pitch, so the wardrobe follows the slope exactly instead of stopping where a flat-pack would. Even the low knee-wall space becomes drawers or shoe storage.

How much does a loft fitted wardrobe cost?

Sloped builds price like straight runs: most complete projects come to £2,400 – £8,500 including delivery and installation. The slope adds cutting time, not drama — your written quote itemises it after the free home visit.

What happens in the lowest part of the eaves?

The last usable half-metre becomes pull-out drawers, shoe trays or lift-lid boxes rather than hinged doors — planned at the design visit so nothing is wasted.

Why the Lined Shaker door for lofts?

Its twin scribed lines run parallel to the door edges, so even angled-top doors keep a calm, ordered rhythm — detail that flatters an irregular room rather than fighting it.

Are Metro wardrobes made in the UK?

Yes — every wardrobe is made in our own Wembley, North London workshop and installed by our own fitters, with a 10-year guarantee.
