Materials For Luxury Bespoke Fitted Furniture
In Surrey & West Sussex Homes

Many residents in Surrey, Sussex and London are seeking to increase storage capacity in their homes by making more effective use of vertical space. This is leading to a demand for bespoke tall built-in cabinets, fitted with rolling ladders – features once found in grand libraries. A rolling ladder provides access to the uppermost shelves and cupboards, bringing the highest areas of the cabinets within easy reach.

Floor to ceiling fitted storage cupboards, bookcases and cabinets are ideal for many settings, including home offices, libraries and studies, walk-in wardrobes and dressing rooms, pantries, kitchens, boot rooms, wine cellars and more.

When purpose-built, tall, fitted cabinets can be customised with pull-out shelves, drawers, and other features, so that items can be stored and organised at different heights. In kitchens and living rooms, the highest cabinets are sometimes glazed to safely display attractive glassware, porcelain or other valuable pieces.

In open-plan and high-ceilinged rooms, tall cabinetry enhances the sense of height spaciousness. In smaller kitchens or bedrooms, floor to ceiling solutions extend the amount of available storage without taking up valuable floor space.

Of course, reaching the top shelves of ceiling-height cabinets can be a challenge. This is where the design and craft skills of bespoke cabinetmakers like Acorn come into play. We understand how to make highly functional furniture that’s beautiful to look at and easy to use.

In the world of bespoke storage cabinetmaking, functionality and style go hand in hand.

Tall built in wall storage with a rolling or sliding ladder system is particularly suited to rooms with high ceilings. While maximising the vertical space to provide abundant storage, the ladder itself adds elegance and visual interest.

For rooms with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, incorporating a ladder, ideally with a ladder rail, is the perfect way to access the hard-to-reach top shelves and overhead cupboards.

The sliding ladder: a modern trend with traditional charm

Sliding ladders, also called rolling ladders and library ladders, are an ingenious addition to built-in high shelves or hard-to-reach cupboards. These types of ladders bring a sense of craftsmanship, tradition, and vertical drama to a room.

A sliding ladder is designed to move horizontally along a track or rail on wheels and high-quality rolling hardware is essential to ensure smooth running and durability.

The ladder and rail system can be customised to suit any cabinet dimension and can be made in wood or metal, and straight or curved to match the layout of the cabinetry. The ladder can also be painted and colour matched to the cabinetry, stained to match the wood tone or lacquered for a smooth, hardwearing finish.

Ladder safety features

Non-slip treads, secure locking wheels, sturdy brackets and a properly installed rail are important safety features to prevent the ladder slipping and ensure stability when in use.

Space-efficient design

A rolling ladder can be stowed elegantly, hung flat against the cabinetry or wall when not in use keeping the area clear and clutter-free.
