New bedroom/wardrobe design

8 years ago

As you can see from the picture, this space has odd slope ceiling..I can't alter the shape because behind the wall is a staircase. I was thinking of using it as a wardrobe space but it looks weird from the picture. Any suggestions? I'm up for anything.

Get a carpenter to fit doors to the space then add a hanging rail and set of drawers inside.

We had this problem in our last house - it was a modern, one off house in village with a third floor master bedroom in eaves. Unfortunately their was no wall without sloping angles or any straight edges against which to stand a wardrobe, but there was a smallish recess a bit like yours. We got a carpenter in and he put in a hanging rail and shelf, plus shaped a normal white paneled door to fit the sloping space. I thought that would look a bit odd, but in fact he did it so well that it was wonderful afterwards. It took about a day and he changed the skirting boards etc to fit around, was a very careful, old school, fully qualified carpenter and it cost about £150.00 about 7 yrs ago, but that was Oxford-shire prices! If you can find a really good guy, usually by word of mouth, this is by far the best solution and will help when you sell the house on too.

Hi there The best person to help you is a trained designer who can stand with you in the loft and go through your requirements point by point. In order to design well it's important to have a good understanding of the space. What is the Available headroom and slope? How the light comes in? What is your budget? What's going on in the rest of the house? Does the space as designed flow? How tall are you? How physically fit are you? Do you have young children? Where will the ironing board be? Do you like ironing? etc The person who knows the answers to the questions above will come up with a better design than the person who does not know. When you are spending a lot to get it built its best to have it designed well so that you can enjoy the finished product. Hope it makes sense IT

Just a thought, what about putting the bed against the wall of the walk in wardrobe and you can still have your headboard, no need to change or move a radiator and the wife's side of the bed would be next to the wardrobe entrance. It's all a bit cramped by the looks of things and while you'll have your ensuite and your walkin wardrobe you'll still be walking into a box room. Another thought I had to to lose the bedside cabinets and increase the appearance of space would be in to have the bed side lights on the partition wall and the storage built into the stud wall with pull out shelves for those breakfast in bed moments and cups of tea. Change the door to open onto your landing as well!!! Good luck

They look fab. Just designing my own wardrobes at the moment. The only thing I'd have added to yours is some cornice along the front and side to join up with the existing one
