Transforming an awkward loft space into a dressing room

Claire recently converted their master bedroom and as a result of that, ended up with extra loft space that she wanted to transform into a dressing space. With Sharps, Claire was able to convert an awkwardly shaped room into a beautiful space where she could keep her belongings organised and easily accessible. 

The Manhattan range enhanced the overall look of the room, keeping it contemporary and stylish to match Claire’s taste. 

White Manhattan fitted wardrobes

Claire's Design Expert Says:

“Claire has a beautiful home and we were exceptionally excited to start this project. The whole loft space was filled with awkward angles and sloped ceilings but we were able to convert the space into a beautiful dressing room. 

We added a row of fitted wardrobes so there was plenty of hanging space for their clothes, some drawers for their smaller items - one with a seat pad fitted on top - and also some cupboard space for even more storage. 

Our Sharps Space+ formula was our saviour for this space, and even with all the fitted furniture we added, there was still plenty of room for Claire to get ready. The final look was exactly as we envisioned and more, its contemporary and stylish finish was flawless and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.”

Q&A Claire Says:

How did you come to choose Sharps for your wardrobes?

We chose Sharps because we saw them advertised on TV, and I had previously heard good reports from a colleague who had used them. I have had fitted wardrobes once before but they were already installed so I hadn’t gone through the process of choosing them. 

Why did you decide to get fitted wardrobes in your home?

We had an extension to our upstairs which created a large master bedroom together with a balcony, we felt that freestanding wardrobes wouldn’t do the room justice nor work with the awkward alcove space we had available so a fitted option would benefit us.

Were there any awkward spaces that you needed to fit around?

Yes! The whole project was awkward as it is in a loft space above our bedroom. The fitter worked tirelessly for nearly a week and the finish is great – and now you wouldn’t know that there was an awkward space to start with.

How was your design appointment?

Detailed..! Lots of options, which is always great. We actually had a second design appointment as we wanted to think about everything and not make any incorrect decisions. I really benefitted from seeing real-life designs in different colours and wardrobe styles, as it can be hard to visualise.

How was the fitting and the rest of the process?

It was seamless. The furniture arrived one day, and a few days later the fitter started. He was lovely, worked unbelievably hard, and had the job done on the day it was expected. We did have some slight cracking in the filler around one of the edges which we were warned might happen, and somebody came to resolve that the week after.

Why did you choose the Manhattan range?

We wanted a modern look to compliment our bedroom, but I am also a fan of traditional styles. We initially thought we wanted a Shaker style but because the doors are not full height being in an alcove, we were advised it could look very busy and make the room look smaller.  I think that was the best decision we made.

What interiors did you choose for your wardrobes?

We wanted to maximise hanging space so we have mostly hanging, we also have some shelving, drawers and cupboards. I had a shoe rack installed in one of ‘my’ wardrobes, which is great! The mix of using all the interiors has worked really well. We then chose to have seating on top of one of the cupboards which looks good and is very practical for when you are folding and putting clothes away!
