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.
We have solutions for any size bedroom — and small bedrooms are where our 23 years of experience makes the biggest difference. Box rooms, children’s bedrooms, guest rooms, the compact second bedroom in a new-build — the challenge is always the same: how do you get enough storage without the room feeling cramped?
An off-the-shelf wardrobe in a small bedroom is a compromise from the start. It does not use the full height of the room. It wastes the width. And it takes up floor space you cannot afford to lose — leaving gaps on every side where dust collects and space is wasted.
A bespoke fitted wardrobe uses the full height, fills the full width, and can be built at a reduced depth to give you back valuable floor space. But getting that right in a compact room requires precision and experience. The smaller the room, the more every design decision shows. There is no room for error.
We have been doing this for 23 years across thousands of projects, and small bedrooms are some of our most rewarding work.
Don’t try to save money by buying a budget flatpack wardrobe and having someone adapt it to fit a small room. In a large bedroom you might get away with the compromises — filler panels, visible gaps, doors that do not close properly. In a small bedroom, there is nowhere to hide. Every gap shows. Every misalignment is obvious.
If the room is small, the wardrobe needs to be more precise, not less. That is where experience and skill matter most.
Go full height. A standard freestanding wardrobe leaves a dust-collecting gap between the top and your ceiling. A fitted wardrobe runs from floor to ceiling, turning that dead space into storage for suitcases, spare bedding and seasonal items. A pull-down rail makes even the highest sections easily accessible.
Double-height hanging rails. An upper rail and a lower rail stack two rows of short items in the same width — doubling your hanging capacity without needing any extra space.
Build drawers into the wardrobe. Eliminate the chest of drawers from the room entirely. Our drawers use Blum soft-close runners and can be glass-fronted so you see contents at a glance. More floor space, less clutter.
Reduced depth. We regularly build wardrobes at reduced depths — still deep enough for hanging clothes comfortably, but giving you back centimetres of floor space that make the room feel noticeably more open. We work out the right depth for your needs during the design visit.
Use the corners. Most small bedrooms have corners that no standard wardrobe can fill. An L-shaped or corner wardrobe turns that dead space into fully functional storage. → See our corner wardrobes gallery.
Integrated lighting. LED lighting inside the wardrobe means you can find what you need without turning the bedroom light on — especially useful when one person is getting dressed while the other is still sleeping. → See our wardrobe lighting gallery.

We have fitted wardrobes into very compact box rooms where every centimetre was planned carefully. It is surprising how much storage you can create when the wardrobe is designed specifically for the room by people with the right experience.
Both sliding and hinged doors can work — it depends on the specific room. What matters more is the overall design, the internal layout, and working with a company that has the experience to get a small room right. We discuss the best option for your space during the design visit.
Yes. We design around radiators, sockets, light switches and other fixed obstacles. A common solution is a ventilated section at the base with full wardrobe storage above.
Several techniques work together: full-height wardrobes eliminate visual clutter, reduced depth frees up floor space, mirror doors reflect light and visually open the room, and built-in drawers remove the need for a separate chest of drawers. It is the combination that makes the difference.
