Converting Sloped Ceilings to Storage Haven
With 3 children Shell needed all the space she could get in her Cornwall home.
Her sloped ceilings needed to be maximised with a clever storage solution that worked around the beams and vaulted ceilings.
She also needed a style to perfectly match her Scandi, modern and rustic barn conversion and Shaker style in Stone did just that.

Shell's Design Expert Says:
"Shell’s loft conversion full of sloping ceilings and beams could have been a challenge for other companies but it was no match for the unique Sharps Space+ formula.
Beams are a stunning feature of any barn conversion so we wanted to accentuate these but also give her the storage space that she needs.
Shell loved her barn features and didn’t want to change the look and feel of the room.
The Shaker style in Stone blended seamlessly into the room to give that rustic but modern style of the house."

Q&A Shell Says:
How did you find Sharps?
We can’t rate our experience with Sharps more highly. From the initial home Design Visit right through to fitting and aftercare, the service has been faultless.
Why did you choose Sharps?
We looked around at different options and other fitted wardrobe companies but had been recommended Sharps and loved the products we saw on their website and social media so decided that they were the right company to go for.
Since we’ve heard from so many people that have had Sharps storage solutions too and all have said the same about how happy they are.
Tell us about your design visit.
Graham was very thorough as it was difficult due to building work at our barn conversion still being in progress.
He went through all our options and it was great to see visuals on his computer so I could get a better idea how it would look in the room.
What was the main issue that you were trying to solve with Sharps fitted furniture?
We live in a barn conversion and our bedroom is up in the eaves so with beams and vaulted ceilings no standard wardrobe would fit the space. We have lots of clothes and shoes so needed something that would look in keeping with the room and character property but solve our storage issue and Sharps ticked all the boxes for us.
Were there any awkward spaces in your room?
Yes, it’s a room in the eaves with beams and different angles so Sharps really found the perfect solution to maximise the space available.
Tell us about your fitting experience?
The fitter was fantastic, I can’t rate him more highly. It took around 3 days of which we moved out of our room into the spare room. The work didn’t interrupt me working from home and he was very tidy.
The room was cleaned well when he’d finished and we were very impressed with the delivery of the product ahead of the installation and collection of the rubbish after.
Also have to mention the customer service team called to keep me updated and check all was going well a number of times which was great.
How would you describe your interior style and how does your finished design reflect this?
As the barn is very old but has been converted into a modern family home with a Scandinavian, modern, rustic style we needed something that would look in keeping and so the Shaker style in colour: Stone was the perfect option.
My husband and I were worried it may change the feel and look of the room and impose on the space but we have both said along with family and friends who have seen the finished wardrobes who we can’t get over that they look like they’ve always been there! They look so stylish and I’m so pleased with the finish.
What do you love most about your Sharps furniture?
It’s amazing to have somewhere for all our clothes and shoes to finally go! I’ve even bought all new wooden hangers so it’s all organised and tidy which has such an impact on your well-being too! When you have a tidy organised wardrobe it makes you feel happier in yourself and I find I’m wearing things I’ve not worn for years.
What is your favourite part of your fitted furniture?
How organised we are because of it! It’s actually exciting opening the doors to decide what to wear these days! They look so perfect in our bedroom we couldn’t be happier! The designer has really made the best use of the space available.
What are you most looking forward to making beautifully organised? E.g. your books, toys, shoes, clothes, dressing area etc.
I couldn’t wait to organise all our clothes and shoes. As mentioned we now have all matching wooden hangers no mix of old plastic ones anymore! I’m now looking at what other spaces we can use Sharps to make more storage solutions for our awkward spaces at the barn!
What furniture interiors did you choose and why?
We chose the Shaker style in the colour Stone with brushed brass handles which compliment the brushed brass fixtures in our en-suite.
Our barn has a Scandi modern rustic style so this style fits perfectly.
Why would you recommend Sharps?
The whole service from start to finish was excellent. The product is such high quality and there is so much choice there is something for everyone and a solution for every space!
We also are so impressed with the aftercare and the guarantee gives us peace of mind.
