Hi Sarah DIY can be a great option to stay within your budget and find an agreeable solution to your current dilemma. Window furnishings are generally one of the last jobs required after going through the process of building your house, which means the budget is always tight at this point after all the other 'extra expenses' Therefore you are now potentially starting to look at compromising on the quality that you originally wanted to finish your off your house. Window furnishing can have a fairly visual impact, as well as influencing how the room 'feels', on both the inside and outside of you rooms and home. In the first instance we need to define the difference between a DIY 'Ready Made / Ready to Hang Product' which is what you would purchase from somewhere such as Spotlight vs DIY "Custom Made" products. The difference in quality is significant, however the price points don't have to be. At iseekblinds, we offer genuine custom made blinds, made in Australia. If you visit our website, you can get an instant price online - It would be interesting to see the difference between what you have been quoted and what we can offer. We can turn Roller Blinds around within 3 weeks or sooner if requested and deliver nationally. Everything you need to know regarding measure and installation is on our website and we teach and guide you through the process to ensure you get it right. Please see some of our reviews to hear how our other customers have been surprised at just how easy the installation process has been and are over the moon in regards to the product quality they received. Get Your DIY On! I say. And please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance Cheers, Sally

we can't read the writing on your plan so can't be sure of the layout but unless the idea is unsafe, illegal or impossible i think the cabinet maker should be glad to take your money but he may have some practical reasons for his objections..my wiw have internal sliding doors that were installed by the builder or carpenter when the walls were being built not by the cabinetmaker after the walls were finished, i also can't see the point of a pull out pants rack when a nice coat hanger on a simple rod will do the job but that's just personal taste but i would like to see the corner hanging racks in action as the extra corner space should be good for bulky coats and full skirts and dresses and would allow space in the middle of the walls for drawers and shelves but if the cabinetmaker can't convince you and he's not prepared to agree then it may be time to find someone else..good luck

Go to some local op shops or bye swap etc, look for 1 or 2 units of draws that will fit in snug as a bug, paint it up as to what you like, Wack some wheels on it to pull on and out . You can have both, plenty of hand and draws. The Bunnings cube things are ok, but ……. Draws. As for 50cm? Put a hose clamp at the 50 so that will stop you from pushing cloths that far in and just leave the space for air. The other thing maybe take the doors completely off and hang some nice curtains esp while this rain is about.my floor to ceiling curtains. I took the doors off.

I would ask yourself, what are you achieving by a walk in robe?. By your drawing there will be no more storage space than if you have built in robes. The only thing you will have is privacy when walking from ensuite to WIR. BUilt in robes can add interest to a room. If you need privacy then hanging a beautiful curtain in front of wardrobe will give you privacy when required, or can be pulled back if not required.
