Bedroom wardrobe design

James 007

All, looking for ideas for our main bedroom wardrobe design. Currently either side of a chimneybreast I have an existing wardrobe measuring wall to wall 1420mm in width and the right hand side wardrobe measuring 780mm in width. The depth to both is only 440mm. The floor to ceiling height is 2780mm which is quite high.

I am looking to give a rustic look to wooden doors & storage boxes with a mix of storage baskets.

Can anyone recommend suitable design so that you dont have to reach storage even on top of a chair. As it is, using a chair its still hard to reach the top storage area.

For larger wardrobe:
I am thinking along the lines of Hafele, link below to reach the high area & have a lower bottom fixed rail, with the rail width of 1m, giving floor to ceiling side storage with a width of 400mm.

For smaller wardrobe:
Same as above but no side storage.

Any thoughts welcome:rolleyes:

Parents bedroom also had 2 wardrobes built either side of chimney breast and quite wide which has 2 storage shelves above as could store bed linen up there. Lower shelf had many things on it and had a clothes rail on left side for suits. Right hand side was shelves for shirts , jumpers , socks and underwear.

I like your idea of a pull down clothes rail at the top and moves the wasted space to useful space which is a good idea.
How much stuff do you need to hang and as you said maybe a lower rail.

I presume when you meant rustic old wooden look that would need new baskets. Must be a few companies doing internals ?
New doors can be expensive but could get them painted like what kitchen restorers do and might save some money

I have no problems making the doors out of what I have already. I have done it before, brown loovered doors coverted as shown. I would like to narrow the doors to 0.5m each to cover the clothes rail part only & expose the storage baskets & boxes on the vertical side & a double row at floor level.

The doors I would like to put them on rollers so they slide. The attached link below is what I have in mind. The room is not that big & to open the current doors which are close to 680mm wide take up clearance space that I dont really have.

Does anyone know a good company where you can actually physically see wardrobe designs, I am based in Dublin but can travel further to boundary counties, thanks
