My new house has an attic room with a fairly steeply sloping ceiling down
one side of the room. It's far enough into the room for the floor area
underneath it to not be much use as is. My thinking is that the best bet
would be to put in a rail and use the area as a wardrobe. The problem is
that a) the wall / ceiling will most likely be some sort of plasterboard.

Rather than a fxed rail, have you thought of getting a couple of 'shop
type' clothes rails on casters. This can be pushed close up to the wall
when not in use, but pulled towards the centre of the room (where there's
more headroom) when you are using it.

The roof slopes way too much for that. I'll measure up tomorrow when I go up
there.
