A fitted wardrobe transformation completed in East London, converting unused space into practical built-in storage with a clean, modern finish and improved everyday functionality.
The project required careful planning to maintain access to the flue for future maintenance, ensuring the installation remained fully practical as well as visually seamless. The result is a well-designed storage solution that maximises space while preserving essential access and long-term usability.

Every property presents different challenges, and this London project required a solution that balanced storage, accessibility, and building compliance. The customer wanted a fitted IKEA PAX wardrobe installed within the available space, but an existing chimney flue needed to remain accessible for future inspection and maintenance.
Rather than concealing or boxing in the flue, our team carefully adapted the wardrobe layout to work around it. Detailed planning and precise modifications allowed us to maximise storage while ensuring the flue remained visible and easily accessible when required.
The installation involved custom adjustments to the wardrobe framework, creating a clean fitted appearance without interfering with the existing building services. Particular attention was given to maintaining straight lines, consistent gaps, and a seamless finish despite the structural obstacle.
The completed wardrobe provides practical everyday storage while preserving access for future servicing. This project highlights how professional IKEA PAX adaptations can deliver bespoke-looking results even in rooms with complex architectural features.
From chimney breasts and flues to sloping ceilings and unusual room layouts, we create fitted IKEA wardrobe solutions designed around your home.
