Guest bedroom and office layout dilemma
Comments (10)Hi Katie, can you move your office somewhere else while your guests are staying? Maybe put the bedhead under the window and push it hard against the left hand wall, that will give you about 67cm between the bed and the door, room to sneak in a small bedside table (if queen bed is 153cm wide and room is 220). Not ideal as the person closest to the wall would have to shuffle down off the end of the bed but it's a very tight space for a queen size bed. You could maybe then put a small chair or two and table against the wall between the end of the bed and the wardrobe for a sitting area for your guests. if your desk needs to stay would it fit along the wall where the bed head is currently? Assuming you don't want to swap the bed out to a double....See MoreWalk in wardrobe - entranceway and Ikea vs custom built units
Comments (13)There are a number of challenges here that arise frequently, namely: The space is tight, and budget seems an issue. Door options: 1 sliding cavity door into robe- problem: people rarely bother to close them so often a pointless result 2 Hinged doors on the cabinetry-problem the galley you have is only 2000mm wide or even 2200mm. This will make it very tight if you plan to have hinged doors with both sides at 600mm carcass depth leaving either 800mm or 1000mm aisle. This will mean you don't have clearance for you and a door swing, assuming a door width of 500-600mm . You will find it very claustrophobic, and impossible with two people using it. 3 Sliding doors-these will limit your access to the interior and most people dislike them, however probably a workable solution- if you go this way, put the door track at 660mm not 600mm to clear suit jackets. 4 Enclose only one side of the wardrobe with doors and have the other for hanging which tend to be neater than the shelf items.(choose the side that is most visible from the front door. Depending on your ratio requirement of hanging to shelving/drawers, you might fit all hanging on one side then you can have drawers all along the lower section with shelving above with upper doors only. That way, the swing of the doors is easier as you don't need to clear your feet, only your upper body. Then gain bonus space in the area by making the enclosed cabinets only 400mm deep externally. Folded clothing folds to 360-380mm so don't waste the space with 600mm depth. Any additional hanging required on the enclosed wall is positioned distant to the entry and will be mainly out of view. This will save on doors, space and look tidy. It requires a custom build, the cost of this walk in robe in gloss melamine was around $7500.00 including design. Best of luck. The walk in below is 2000mm across, the first section on the left is 400mm deep for his shoes and drawers, the section on the right is 620mm deep. The distant section on the left is 600m providing space for hanging. That way the aisle in the first part is more generous and this tight space feels generouson the left we have his shoes behind doors and drawers below-at 400mm deep this makes the aisle more generous to cope with doors the photo below shows with door near the entry to conceal the"mess"from the walk way(see the appearance from the doorway in top photo), the hanging at the end is not visible at the entry we made the most of the full depth for shoes in our custom drawers...See Morehinged wardrobe questions for internal drawer size
Comments (0)Hello. I'm doing renovation whole apartment and also built in wardrobe (hinged door) for two room. We had argue about the internal drawer size for each wardrobe. One wardrobe cabinet internal size is w 1117 x d 600 and second is w 1063 x 510 The builder brought the internal drawers way too smaller than actual size of cabinet. he says that it is how usually doing for hinged door wardrobe. so actual internal size of wardrobe is w 1117 x d 600. the drawer size is 900 x 300. Another wardrobe is w 1063 x 510 and brought 850 x 330 drawers. ( this is all bottom drawers) The problem is that the inside drawer is too small and has a big handle like kitchen drawer. The wardrobe drawer should have no handle as it is inside of wardrobe and need to bigger and fit into actual space of cabinet. The depth of drawer is only half way of actual size of cabinet depth. the width size also about 5 to 12 cm is empty gab between actual wardrobe panels. It is nearly half of actual cabinet space is just empty. Finally the builder admit that the depth size made wrongly as there is about 30 cm empty gab but not the width size so they want to make a deeper drawer but keep width between panel about 5 to 10 cm. The builder says rest space will cover up by the panel and also keep arguing that the drawer is small because they need to give a space for door hinge because this one need to install next to drawers. Door hinge is only 2 cm wide and 2cm depth. I do understand door hinge but still too many space is empty. Therefore, I have asked him to make a drawer for right size of cabinet (make drawer size wider and deeper) and put the door hinge between drawer. But the builder refuse to make new one as they need to make whole new drawers and says that it is standard to keep space between 5 to 10 cm between door, panel and drawer all around and cannot compare with other brand such as ikea or freedom. Simply they said they cannot do it. Also, he argues that I should request make drawer to be back to back size before making. I request standard drawers and sent him the pictures before making like https://www.instagram.com/p/B-MRD7XlUfi/. Total 16 drawers was made wrong size. every drawer has different size gabs. My question is that is true to have gab between 5 to 10 cm between drawers and actual size of cabinet due to door hinge? This should be the custom built in wardrobe....See MoreMirror wardrobe doors - dilemma
Comments (8)Hi, suggestions - you could add panelling to make then look like french/ hamptons style mirror. you could install some ikea curtains and use as a back drop (block colour at back, sheer at front , must be very long.) . You could install barn style hinged doors. You could make it open shelving. You could remove altogether. You could add a nice wallpaper print to the doors, such as hamptons style blue and white or gold geometric and white. and match these colours to your cushions. I would only wall paper opposite wall if you keep the mirror. add a nice tall lamp to make the room bright and inviting and a throw on the couch. replace wall art. maybe paint the wall agreeable grey, reverve pewter or white. goodluck :-)...See MoreOsh Knowlski
