Our customers invest significantly in their walk-in wardrobes and dressing rooms because they understand the difference quality makes. At Fox Wardrobes, we design, manufacture and install every element from scratch in our Rochester factory.
Alcoves are one of the best opportunities for storage in any bedroom. The recesses either side of a chimney breast are ready-made spaces just waiting to be transformed into something beautiful and functional. At Fox Wardrobes, we create bespoke alcove storage designed to maximise every centimetre — built to fit your alcoves perfectly, no matter the shape, the size, or the height of your ceilings.
No two alcoves are the same — and that is exactly why we custom build every wardrobe individually. Whether your alcoves are different widths, your ceilings are unusually tall, or your walls have their own character, none of that is a concern for us. It is simply what we do, every day.
We measure every surface precisely and manufacture each side independently to its exact dimensions. Where minimal fillers are needed, we keep them as small as possible to preserve your storage space. The result is a wardrobe that looks like it was always part of the house — because everything is built specifically for your room.
Alcove wardrobes offer far more than just storage behind doors. The design possibilities are broader than most people realise.
wardrobes in both alcoves connected across the top of the chimney breast, creating a complete wall of beautifully integrated storage. Our most popular layout.
a surface across the chimney breast between the two wardrobes, with a mirror or shelving above. Works beautifully in period bedrooms and doubles as a home office workspace.
shelving or display niches across the chimney breast, with closed wardrobes in the alcoves.
a built-in TV area across the chimney breast with wardrobes either side. Clean, integrated, clutter-free.
hinged on one alcove, sliding on the other, depending on access and preference. Over 45 styles and 25+ colours, traditional and contemporary.
Every built-in wardrobe starts with a survey. We measure your room precisely — not just the width, but the profile of each wall, the levelness of the floor, and the height at multiple points across the room. In older Kent properties especially, these measurements can vary by several centimetres across a single wall.
18mm MFC carcasses — quality board that holds fixings securely and will not bow.
Blum hinges and runners — for all doors and drawers.
Safety-backed mirror and Lacobel coloured glass — for mirror and glass door options.
Over 45 door styles and 25+ colours — from traditional moulded panels that complement period features to contemporary mirror and glass.

Absolutely. We manufacture each side to its own exact measurements, but we match the door styles, handles and finishes so they read as a beautifully balanced pair — just like the Gillingham project.
