Loft Storage in Holland Park
Walls in older London homes are rarely straight, so we scribe the furniture to follow them. We make loft storage for homes in Holland Park, each designed at a visit to your home.
- Unused space in a dormer
- Ready-made wardrobes too big for the stairs
- Low eaves that nobody can use
Need loft storage in Holland Park?
Why bespoke in Holland Park?
A standalone wardrobe can go with you when you move. Fitted storage stays put, and it makes far more of the loft. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay. Tall standalone furniture needs fixing back to the wall so it cannot tip, and in an older house that can mean fixing into brick or lath and plaster. With fitted pieces, the fixings are planned for the wall from the start.
The finish affects the cost: spray painting happens in the workshop, and hand painting can be done in your home. The written quote reflects your choice, along with the size and fittings.
Why us?
- A design visit, then a quote in writing

Loft storage in Holland Park: what you get
Many loft rooms are bedrooms, and storage for clothes is the first need. Wardrobes under the slope, drawers in the knee wall and shelves in the dormer can all work together. Designed as one, they give the room calm, consistent lines. For a home in Holland Park, it is planned around your things. We make eaves cupboards from birch plywood and moisture-resistant MDF with a spray-painted or hand-painted finish, and the things people most often want solved are boxes and suitcases with no home and no wardrobe that fits under the slope.
Older homes like many around Holland Park have floors and ceilings that slope, and a large share of the homes around Holland Park date from then. Each piece is scribed and levelled on site so it looks straight in a room that isn’t. Picture rails, skirting and cornices are worked around rather than removed, and the paint colour is agreed with you.
The furniture is made in our workshop after you’ve had the quote and decided to go ahead. The quote sets out the agreed design, materials and finish, so every detail can be checked first.

Other services in Holland Park
Before and after fitting day
People planning loft storage often ask about these. They’re worth knowing before and after fitting:
- Think about hanging space for a loft bedroom
- Bring paint colours you like to the design visit
- Consider drawers for the deep, low spaces
- Empty the eaves so we can see what’s behind
A soft, damp cloth is the best way to keep the storage clean. Dry them afterwards, and avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents. Handles and drawer edges pick up marks first.
Leave room for air to move behind the storage. Insulation pressed flat doesn’t do its job. If you notice damp or condensation behind the eaves, ask whoever converted the loft.
Your questions about loft storage in Holland Park
How do you fit loft storage in a flat in Holland Park?
We measure the route in as well as the room: the stairs, landings, lift and doors. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. If your building has rules on lift booking or working hours, or your lease needs consent for alterations, it is worth checking those early.
Do you cover homes near Kensington Olympia station?
Yes, homes across Kensington and Chelsea and the rest of London are within the area we cover. You can get in touch through our contact form to arrange a design visit, and tell us about parking and access at the same time.
Can you add sockets inside the units?
No. Any new wiring, sockets or lights need an electrician, and some electrical work in homes is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. We’ll design around them.
What do eaves cupboards cost?
Prices are quoted for your room, once we’ve measured and talked through the design. The mix of cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and the finish, all play a part. Everything is set out in a written quote after the visit.
Do I choose the paint colour?
You choose it. Spray and hand-painted finishes both use the colour you’ve chosen.
My walls aren’t straight. Is that a problem?
Walls and floors that aren’t true are part of the job in older homes. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
Holland Park homes and loft storage
The biggest shares of homes in the neighbourhood around Holland Park were built before 1919 (about 69%) and between 1945 and 1972 (about 11%), according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). That matters for eaves cupboards, as the build era decides whether a wall is solid brick, lath and plaster, block or plasterboard. Within a mile of the centre of Holland Park, 20 conservation areas are recorded by Historic England. Historic England says England has around 10,000, and the controls mainly cover the outside of buildings. All of London, Kensington and Chelsea included, is inside the ULEZ. It applies to the vans that deliver and fit furniture in Holland Park, as it does anywhere else in London. Parking and access are planned at the measuring visit.
The wider area includes historic houses such as Leighton House, about 0.4 miles south. For a period home anywhere nearby, the knee walls of a converted loft can take drawers as well as cupboards. For a family home near Holland Park School, a place for each person’s coat and shoes stops the hallway filling up. If you live in a period home close to Church of St George, eaves cupboards in a converted loft are scribed to slopes that are rarely even.
Holland Park is within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, about 1 mile south of Kensington. Wherever you are in Holland Park, the process is the same: we visit and measure, send a written quote, make the furniture in our workshop and fit it. We list Holland Park among 13 places we cover in Kensington and Chelsea.
Every address in W8, W11 and W14 is covered for loft storage, from the main roads to the quieter streets. If your home is on a street like Dukes Lane, Milson Road and Elsham Road, or close by, we can visit to measure up for loft storage. The A402 and A4204 run close to Holland Park, so if your home is on a main road, mention it when you contact us. Neighbouring places we cover for loft storage include Kensington (1 mile south), Notting Hill (1 mile north), Shepherd's Bush (1 mile west), Notting Dale (1 mile north) and White City (1 mile north-west). Across the rest of Kensington and Chelsea, our area takes in Brompton (2 miles east), Chelsea (2 miles south-east), World's End (2 miles south-east), North Kensington (2 miles north-west) and Little Chelsea (2 miles south-east).

Well-known places in the area include St Mary Abbot's Hospital (0.7 miles south-east) and Kensington Arcade (0.6 miles east). Green spaces nearby include The Long Water and Campden Hill.
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
It’s worth being honest about cost: flat-pack is typically cheaper to buy. Bespoke earns its place where the room is awkward, space is tight or you want the furniture to look part of the house.
Shop-bought shelves can sag over a long span. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. We design shelves with that in mind.
Flats, conversions and leaseholders
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. The materials are the same as for any home: moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, with a spray or hand-painted finish.
Leaseholders should check the lease before anything is fixed to the walls. Some leases need the building owner’s consent for alterations. We can’t give advice on leases, so check it yourself or ask your managing agent.
What happens on fitting day
The last stage of the day is the finish. With a spray finish from the workshop, there’s normally only filling and touching up to do in the room; hand painting, if that’s what you chose, can be done in place once everything is fitted. Either way, the finish is the one set out in your quote. On fitting day in an older house, the main job is scribing to walls and levelling on floors that slope, so each piece is trimmed and adjusted on site. Floors are protected, and dust is kept down as far as possible. Parking can be tight on terraced streets, so let us know about permits and bays during the design visit.
- You tell us about your converted or boarded loft.
- We measure the eaves, the slopes and the stairs up to the loft, as everything has to get up there.
- We agree the cupboards, drawers and wardrobes, and send a written quote, with the finish set out.
- Every part is made in our workshop, ready for a spray-painted or hand-painted finish. It’s made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood.
- We carry it up, fit it and check every door and drawer with you. Any hand painting is done in the loft.
Getting ready for fitting day
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Empty the space we will be working in

How to get a quote
It’s useful to see the room before we come. Pictures of the whole wall, the corners and the ceiling line give us a good feel for the space, particularly with rough sizes. To share them, use our contact form, and we will suggest a time for a design visit.
