What an attic wardrobe costs
€800 to €920 for about 1.5 m with plain to painted-glass doors, fitted. A long run under the eaves, a dormer to work around, or a narrow stairs to carry it up all add to the price, so get it measured.
How a wardrobe follows the slope
- Drawers and short hanging along the low knee wall, where the ceiling is lowest.
- Long hanging where the ceiling is highest, near the ridge or in a dormer.
- Angled doors cut to the slope, hinged or sliding.
- Eaves storage behind the knee wall for cases and bedding.
What to measure
The height of the knee wall, the height where the slope meets the flat ceiling, the depth from the knee wall to that point, and the length of the run. Note any Velux window, radiator or socket. The company measures again before it makes anything.
Getting it up the stairs
Attic stairs are often narrow and turn. Fitted attic wardrobes are usually built in the room from panels, which is why they're fitted, not delivered whole.
Insulation
Don't block the vents or squash the insulation behind the knee wall to fit a deeper wardrobe. A cold, damp back wall marks clothes. Leave a gap behind the carcass.
Every kind of fitted wardrobe
Pick the one that suits the room. The company that rings you can price more than one.
