Curved Fitted Wardrobes in a London Villa

The curved brick facade places this residence in its St John's Wood setting. Inside, rounded lines return in the circular hall: slender champagne-toned display frames and glass doors follow the wall rather than ending in a square corner. Sculpted ceiling rings echo the finished cabinet arc.

The dressing rooms vary the solution by room. One places a glass-topped drawer island between wardrobe runs; another uses smoked-glass doors over a herringbone floor. In the attic, white wardrobe fronts turn with the eaves beneath skylights, while a long corridor of fluted-glass doors adds another storage line under the roof.

The house also includes cream kitchen cabinetry, lit glass display, a sage media wall and a double bathroom vanity with a veined stone top. These rooms establish the breadth of the private home, while the fitted curves remain its clearest design reference. Glass display doors, cream fronts and stone surfaces give each room a distinct way to use the wider palette.

The hall and attic ask different things of a curve. In the circular hall, the display cabinets maintain a continuous visual line around a wall that people move past. In the attic, the wardrobe fronts meet a roof that changes height as it turns. One curve is experienced from the room; the other has to respect the low edge under the eaves. Comparing the two makes the project more useful than a single photograph of a curved door.

The dressing rooms show another choice: glass-front storage around a central island. The island gives drawers an accessible position in the middle while hanging and display remain at the perimeter. The attic corridor uses fluted glass instead of the clearer hall display, changing how much of the contents is seen. These are separate responses to circulation, privacy and roof geometry within the same private villa, not one repeatable curved module.

For a buyer considering similar work, a survey should record each radius, the roof slope and the usable opening width at several points, then test door swings and drawer travel in the actual route. The project team also needs to decide how the large curved sections reach the room and where straight units meet them. Those decisions matter especially where the hall turns into dressing storage and where the attic ceiling limits the usable cabinet height.

The London wardrobes use 304 stainless steel cabinet bodies; white attic doors and the corridor’s textured glass doors are distinct components with their own material and finish specifications.
