A fireplace in a bedroom is a stunning period feature, however it also can be such wasted space if you are using freestanding wardrobes.
Free-standing wardrobes that leave lots of wasted space on the top, sides and back that could be used for extra hanging space, deeper shelves or even a small dressing table.
Sharps will help you to create your perfect fitted wardrobes, working around your fireplace and into the exact contours of your alcoves, maximising every last millimetre, so you can get the most out of your space.
Then choose from our clever storage solutions and wardrobe interiors and make your space beautifully organised.
