Built in wardrobe
Comments (1)The hinged door would depend on what the doors open out into it. Standard cupboard doors are 50cm - for planning sake why not go onto the IKEA australia website where you can download their PAX wardrobe system. This will allow you to see the impact of how many doors, sliding or not...http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/categories/departments/bedroom/tools/planner_pax/...See MoreBuild-in wardrobe with high ceilings
Comments (21)Hi Bec. I have a Federation home with high ceilings and I just installed a built-in robe in my master bedroom. The door swing lands within the wall-to-wall run. My solution was to install a 2200mm high robe and run a decorative capping all the way round to top edge. Behind the door, I stepped the robe back and installed a wide stack of drawers and open shelves. It neatly fits in behind the swing of the door without needing expensive structural modifications. I don't recommend going all the way to the ceiling where you have the luxury of height. It will shorten the room and you'll never get up there. In my case, the capping provides a lip which helps to conceal things I store up there that I don't use often like suitcases and bedspreads....See MoreWardrobes - to carpet in or build in bottom??
Comments (6)Our current 80's house has a walk in robe in the master and all other bedrooms have the natural timber slatted doors in all situations flooring continues into the robes. In our previous house to save cost we used sliding doors the internals were fitted out with tall shelving units spaced to suit with hanging rails between these. The shelving uints were fixed to the wall and had a panel of matching material attached across the top forming a long shelf. The sliders were installed across these units....See MoreHelp with a wardrobe and shelving
Comments (7)The problem is you've got freestanding furniture where a built-in solution would have been better. It's always going to look like free standing furniture. To improve the look the cabinet in front of the fireplace needs to go entirely. You can then build shelves onto the chimney brest to meet the front of the wardrobes but those shelves aren't going to be anything more than picture rails. Doesn't matter what wood you use because you'll paint it the same colour as the wardrobes. It's an awkward solution. It would have been more cost effective to have the wardrobes built in either side of the chimney brest, full height to meet the ceiling with mouldings that matched the rest of the room. You could have then decorated the chimney with a large mirror and it would have looked 100% better. As it is I would just have the two wardrobes there, get rid of the third and leave it at that....See Morebigreader
