Topboxes and over cupboards

Our fitted wardrobes can offer greater storage accommodation than many other fitted bedroom furniture companies, because our fitted furniture collection also includes topboxes and over cupboards. This additional built-in storage above the fitted wardrobe, can provide an essential storage area for items such as suitcases and hat boxes for properties with high ceilings, such as  period properties, particularly when floor space is at a premium.

Not just sliding doors but gliding doors

Each sliding wardrobe door is height adjustable with soft close action as standard. Being bespoke, our sliding wardrobe doors are available to suit every need, in fact the larger the wardrobe door – the smoother they glide. Sliding doors can even cater for sloping ceilings.

With the choice of single, three or four section sliding door options available in combinations of real wood or wood effect finishes with coloured glass or mirrors, the design options with Strachan’s gliding wardrobe doors are limited only by your imagination.

Behind every sliding wardrobe door is a wardrobe design to meet your every need, available with all the accessories found in our fitted wardrobe range. Bespoke furniture requirements such as sloping ceilings, chimney breasts, stair wells or similar obstructions can easily be accomodated by customising the wardrobe, as every fitted wardrobe is made to measure and can maximise the space available.

Ten things to consider when designing your home office furniture

Working from home is becoming increasingly popular. But creating a dedicated home office space within your living environment is something that needs careful consideration, not to mention an expert approach.

Before you start, take a look through Strachan’s ‘Ten Things to Think About’ – as experts in the bespoke home study furniture market, we are perfectly placed to help you get it just right:

1. Natural light – situate your desk near a window to make the most of daylight.
2. Your seating position – do you want to look out into the room or facing a wall?
3. Comfort – consider the position of radiators or windows.
4. Professional ambience – do you want a simple, functional space or an office designed  to impress?
5. Technology – designate a practical place for your printer, scanner and desktop computer.
6. Filing and storage solutions – built in cupboard space or cabinets can help keep your office tidy.
7. The look and feel – do you want a family friendly study or a traditional boardroom feel?
8. Hot desking – is your home office going to be shared?
9. Traditional or contemporary – think about the style you want and the colour, character and finish of the wood.
10. Part of your home – do you want a study that blends into the style of your home or    stands out with a personality of its own?

So if you’ve got an idea of how you envisage your home office, or would like some input from our expert design team, request a call back and look forward to working from home in style.
