I need to build a fitted wardrobe into an alcove adjacent to a chimney
breast. Basically the plan is to fill the space with shelves and
cupboards; it's complicated a bit by the sloped ceiling which comes down
to 1m off the floor.

Right now I'm trying to find some example plans and ideas on t'internet
to help me get started but 30 mins of googling has produced nothing at
all of value (lots about the Chronicles of Narnia and Janet Jackson's
left breast, but that's about it).

Can anyone point me at some useful resources?

Thanks
David

I done the same thing in an alcove in the bedroom,however my slope came
down from the ceiling about 2.5' which I then boxed in to give a straight
vertical section.
I then used a 2x2" framework and put shelves in,the only hard job I had was
finding slat bar style doors.

Only advice I can give is to square off the opening - don't try to make
angled doors. You could do it in stages.

Oh absolutely! The 'triangular' bits will be open shelves, basically.

It also needs to project outward a few inches beyond the chimney breast,
so one front corner will be 'floating' - never having done this before
I'm trying to get my head round the best way of achieving it, without
re-inventing the wheel.
