Bespoke shape · Sloped ceiling

Made-to-measure kitchens under a sloped ceiling

A sloped ceiling is not lost space if the wall units follow the slope instead of fighting it. We measure every edge, build stepped cabinets and CNC fitting pieces, and run the worktop at full depth. The result is storage up to the knee line with no dead corners.

Why standard wall units fail here

A catalogue wall unit has a fixed height. Under a 35-degree slope that leaves either a wide gap or a cabinet cutting through the ceiling. Both waste storage and look improvised. We draw the slope as a line in the design and step the cabinets along it.

Three proven solutions

First: stepped wall units with a level top edge so the joints stay horizontal. Second: open shelving in the low zone where nobody could open a door anyway. Third: a full-depth worktop that makes the slope usable as surface. The knee line decides which mix fits.

What the survey needs

We need the clear height at three points along the slope, the knee line, the wall distance of the eaves and the position of roof windows or vents. Those four readings are enough for a first design. A binding survey follows before production, because old roofs are rarely straight.

Work height and ergonomics

Under a slope you often find the sink or hob because services sit there. Then work height must suit the person, not the slope. We check whether an 86 cm or 90 cm run works in front of the slope and move functions if your head would hit.

Light, colour and material

Slopes swallow light. Light matte fronts and a worktop in a similar tone keep the room open, and indirect lighting under the slope brightens the low zone. For fronts we recommend coated surfaces because they clean more easily in niches than veneer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hang wall units under a sloped ceiling?

Yes if height allows. Below 90 cm clear height above the worktop we plan open shelves or close the zone with a fitting panel.

What does a sloped-ceiling kitchen cost?

Typically 10 to 25 percent above a standard kitchen. The premium comes from stepped cabinets and CNC fitting pieces, not from the worktop.

How is the slope measured?

Clear height at three points, knee line, eaves distance and the position of roof windows. A binding survey follows before production.

Can the worktop run into the slope?

Yes, as a fitting panel or at full depth. We make it from a template so the joint against the slope stays even.
