We work closely with interior designers, architects and developers to specify our products for commercial use in a whole range of spaces.

Our rolling and hook over library ladders have become increasingly popular as a practical solution for reaching high shelving whilst adding a unique style feature at the same time. 

They can be seen in restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, brasseries, hairdressers, distilleries, wine merchants, interiors showrooms and much more. We supplied a record length of rails that wrapped around all four walls in a large library in London!

Adding character and period features to a new build property could be the best of both worlds. You’ll benefit from the efficiency of a modern property whilst potentially increasing the value and definitely adding style by incorporating decorative interior and exterior mouldings. 

We are delighted to introduce our new Mezzanine Ladders, specifically designed with both style and function in mind. There’s no need to compromise on style when you need a practical and safe way to access a loft area or mezzanine conversion, in fact, ladders present a unique style feature and are a great investment.

Our rolling library ladder features in a scheme designed by Will Mundy Carpentry in the June issue of 'These Three Rooms' the Kitchens, Bedrooms & Bathrooms online magazine. 

Focusing on the very real need for home offices post-pandemic this feature highlights the demand for working spaces - from 8% to 27% to be exact - and everything surrounding this phenomenon including extensions, home tech, extra storage and garage conversions. 

‘Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful’ William Morris. Library ladders are more popular than ever as they combine practicality with style. They burst back into our interiors consciousness around four years ago, becoming an instant hit. But far from being a fleeting trend, savvy homeowners are realising their value in almost every room in the house. 

After all the excesses of the festive season you’ll be more than ready to de-clutter and get organised for the year ahead. Clever storage solutions shouldn’t be overlooked – every room in the house could be improved with stylish storage, helping you to function better in daily life.

Here are some ideas for clever storage that you might not have thought of!

We are delighted to be featured in the January issue of Living Etc ~ ‘Design Dossier: Storage.’

What an honour for The Library Ladder Company to be mentioned in the September 2020 addition of Ideal Home Magazine. 

The segment entitled 'Make it work for you; A separate dressing room', focuses on tips and advice for organising, designing, and utilising a space in your home to become dedicated for dressing and clothing. 

The classic rolling library ladder often evokes images of majestic libraries, full of epic bookshelves, and maybe Belle sing-songing about escaping her provincial life. But they can be used for a great variety of purposes – from straight utilitarian practicality, or adding a unique sense of design and room architecture.
