Storage for every bedroom in the house
Gosforth sits north of Newcastle city centre in NE3, between the Town Moor and Gosforth Park. Its core is made up of Edwardian terraces and semis and larger inter-war houses, many with bay windows and chimney breasts. Further north are the post-war streets of Brunton Park and the newer homes at Great Park.
A family home usually needs storage in several rooms at once. The main bedroom might suit a full wall of built-in wardrobes, with long and double hanging, drawers and shoe shelves. A child’s room needs something simpler that can change as they grow.
Many houses here have had the loft converted, adding a top-floor bedroom under a sloping roof. That room often gains the most from fitted furniture, because a standard wardrobe will not fit under the slope.
Homes we design for
Edwardian, 1930s and newer family homes
These are the homes we plan for most often across NE3, and how we usually approach them.
Bay-fronted semis and detached houses
Bedrooms are square and well proportioned, with a bay on the front wall. The wall facing the bay can usually take a full run of wardrobes.

Brunton Park and Great Park
Layouts are practical, with standard ceiling heights and smaller third bedrooms. Some rooms have a stair bulkhead to build around.

Covering Gosforth and the rest of NE3
We fit wardrobes across Gosforth, including the streets off the High Street, Coxlodge, Fawdon and Kenton. We also cover Brunton Park and Great Park to the north. It is close to our Newcastle base, so finding a visit time that suits you is easy.
Many homes have a driveway, but some terraces near the High Street rely on busy street parking. We check parking and the route into each room at the design visit. We also fit wardrobes in nearby Jesmond.

Can a child’s wardrobe grow with them?
Yes. We use adjustable shelves and hanging rails that can move up as children get taller. The same wardrobe can hold toys and small clothes now, and a teenager’s things later.
Can you fit storage under the eaves of our loft conversion?
Yes, it is a common request in Gosforth. Sloping ceiling wardrobes follow the roofline, with hanging where the ceiling is tall and drawers under the low side.
Is it worth turning a box room into a walk-in wardrobe?
In a larger house it often is, especially if the box room is next to the main bedroom. Open shelves, rails and drawers give you a proper dressing room. It also leaves the main bedroom free of wardrobes.
Do you fit wardrobes in new builds at Great Park?
Yes. Newer homes there often have compact second and third bedrooms. A made-to-measure wardrobe uses the full wall, which leaves more floor space for a bed and a desk.
How long does the work take?
As a rough guide, allow a few weeks between signing off the design and fitting. Each bedroom wall usually takes one to two days. If you are doing several rooms, we can fit them one after another.
How do I get an idea of cost?
Our fitted wardrobe costs page explains what affects the price, such as size, doors and finish. After a free visit to your Gosforth home, we send a clear, itemised quote.
