Fitted bedrooms and wardrobes in Wigton

Wigton is the market town between us and the Solway, and its housing is mostly Georgian and Victorian around the centre with farms and smallholdings spread out across the plain behind it. Farmhouse kitchens out this way tend to be large, cold, awkwardly shaped rooms with a range at one end and a door to the yard at the other, and they need furniture that accepts the shape of the room rather than arguing with it.

Boot rooms matter more here than almost anywhere else we work. A farmhouse back door takes mud, dogs, waterproofs and boots every day of the winter, and a proper boot room with a bench, a drying space and real storage changes how the whole house works. It is one of the jobs we are asked for most and one of the easiest to justify.

We make the carcasses, so the wardrobes finish at the ceiling instead of stopping short of it, the run finishes at the wall instead of stopping short of that, and the sloping ceiling in the back bedroom stops being a reason you cannot have storage there.
