Fitted Glass Door Wardrobes in London
A fitted glass door wardrobe puts your storage behind glass instead of a solid timber front, so a small or north-facing bedroom keeps its light rather than losing a wall to it. We design and build fitted glass door wardrobes to measure at our Chesham workshop, then our own fitters install them against your walls, floor and ceiling with no filler panels or standard-carcass gaps. Stunning Kitchen & Wardrobes has been fitting them across London since 2009, so alcoves, chimney breasts and sloping loft ceilings are familiar ground.
Why glass doors, and where they work best
Glass earns its place in a few specific rooms:
- Dark or narrow bedrooms, where a solid run of doors closes the space in and glass lets light pass through it
- Basement and north-facing rooms that need to borrow every bit of daylight
- Dressing areas you want on show, using clear glass, or clutter you’d rather hide, using frosted
- Any wardrobe where you’d rather see the shelf before you open the door
Glass does show fingerprints more than a painted door, which is worth knowing before you pick clear over frosted. There’s more on cleaning below.
Glass finishes we offer
Each finish changes how much you see and how the room reads.
| Finish | What you see | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Clear | Everything behind the door | A tidy dressing area you want on display |
| Frosted | Soft shapes, no detail | Privacy while keeping the light |
| Smoked (grey) | Darkened, partial view | A warmer, low-contrast look |
| Tinted | A colour wash over the contents | Adding depth without a solid colour |
| Mirrored | A full-length mirror, contents hidden | Small rooms that need a mirror anyway |
| Coloured / lacquered | A solid painted glass panel | Matching a specific room scheme |
Doors run in aluminium, timber or lacquered frames, or frameless for a flatter face. You can have them hinged or on sliding tracks. Sliding suits tight rooms where a swing door would catch the bed; for that layout, see our sliding door wardrobes.
Made to measure for awkward London spaces
Older London homes rarely hand you a square wall to work with. We measure and build to the room you have: into the alcoves either side of a chimney breast, up under a sloping loft ceiling, or floor to ceiling and wall to wall so there’s no dust gap on top. The same doors work on a walk-in layout when you’re turning a box room into a dressing room. For those, see our walk-in wardrobes and loft wardrobes.
Inside the wardrobe
The glass is the front; the fit-out is yours to set:
- Single and double hanging rails at the heights you actually use
- Adjustable shelves and drawers on soft-close runners
- Pull-out baskets and dedicated shoe racks
- His and hers splits, or a full-length section for coats and dresses
- LED strips on the rails or shelves, wired in during the fit

What a glass door wardrobe costs
Price comes down to four things: the size of the run, the glass finish, the internal fit-out, and the frame. A wall of mirrored sliding doors with a simple rail-and-shelf interior sits at the lower end; full-height lacquered glass with drawers, lighting and pull-outs costs more. Fitted glass door wardrobes start from around £ 800 per linear metre / a typical London bedroom runs £1,200 to £1,800. You get the exact number at the design visit, fixed in writing before we build.
Common Questions
Is the glass safe in a family home?
Yes. The doors use toughened safety glass, the same standard (BS EN 12150) used for glass shower screens and internal doors. If it ever breaks it crumbles into blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.
Can I still keep things private?
Frosted, smoked and tinted finishes hide the contents while keeping the light. Clear glass shows everything, so people who want a display finish usually pair it with a tidy interior.
Are glass doors heavier, and do they stay put?
Glass adds weight, so the doors run on rated hinges or sliding gear sized for it. Fitted properly, they open and close the same in five years as on day one.
Can they go floor to ceiling?
Yes. Building to the ceiling closes the dust gap on top and gives you a top shelf for the things you rarely reach.
Do glass doors show fingerprints?
Clear glass shows marks more than a painted door. A microfibre cloth and standard glass cleaner handles it, and frosted or smoked finishes hide day-to-day marks better if that bothers you.
Which areas do you cover, and how long does it take?
We cover Greater London and surrounding areas. From design visit to fitted wardrobe is usually 3 to 4 weeks.
