Bedrooms Design Dilemma Storage

Master Bedroom Fitted wardrobes

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Hi

I am at a stage where I need to choose a design/layout for the fitted wardrobes (mirrored wardrobes)before having the covings fitted... I am thinking of having wardrobes fitted on the chimney breast wall? and having the bed opposite the wardrobes in the centre of opposite wall? or should I place the Bed opposite the Bay window wall?
Any tips layout examples wardrobe designs will be very appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

This is what I would do if I had this space, from left to right, double hanging space between the bay and the chimney breast shelf above top rail, plinth shelf below, storage is always useful. Depending on the depth of the chimney breast you could incorporate the drawers here in front of it, I see no problem in extending this part of the wardrobe out if this still gives you room to walk around the bed, take this up to approx 1 metre high with a shelf on top, because I am male I would then fit a Tv on the wall above with doors that open out and retract back into the unit so your doors aren’t open into the room while watching the tv. If you do not have room to incorporate drawers here then I would put them in the right hand side of the chimney breast as this is the wider section, if you went for this option then above the drawers I would either continue with shelving above or lower the height of the drawers and put in a hanging rail for shirts or similar in height. I’m guessing if there is a lady present you will need space or hanging long dresses or similar so this could go on the far right leaving a centre space in this section for double hanging items. All doors could be made for example a shaker style with cut mirrors in between the borders. Depending on what you go for you may not need to fit the skirting around that part of the room as it will be hidden behind close doors but will depend on the condition on the walls behind it. Hope this makes sense and give you some ideas.

Can you provide with room dimensions and indicate where is North? If you will I can work something over the weekend.

Hi - looks a good sized space when it’s empty like this .... you ideally will need to give info about the size of bed you require and any other furniture you have that you need to include too.
Sounds like previous poster is going to be very kind and offer you a free design ! So if you let him know the sort of wardrobe space you need too - that will prove useful - ie if you mostly want drawers below and single hanging above - or double hanging - or an area of tall handing ( coats and dresses etc)
Measure the space you use currently - ie 1.3m of shirts to hang
.5m of long dresses . 27 jumpers folded etc !
Looking forward to seeing the design !

Main bedroom dilemma: Bedroom layout, walk in wardrobe(?)

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

Hi Lauren, we're too far away to be of too much help, but the product range we offer most office is theCrown Living / Lifespace range. They have a huge range of door colours/styles (Over 120 at last count!) in matts, gloss, sparkes, painted woods/woodgrains, metalics etc. and a very flexible system. We recently came up against Sharps, and our quote for a similar configuration/style was around half the price of Sharps. If you pick carefully your styles and mix of units, it can be very good value. You could find your local dealer at this link. Alternatively if you struggle to track down a dealer, we could quote for supply only and have delivered direct to you if you have your own fitter lined up, though obviously we are too far away to offer our usual levels of service.

Help ! Is an ensuite going to fit without ruining the master bedroom ?

Hi Just to update I have had a bathrooms designer out today who really knew what he was talking about and has said the architect is wrong and we could have the ensuite in the study, which is where we wanted it all along! There is more wall space in the 2nd bedroom so it would make more sense if we built a door through from that room and made that the main bedroom. It will still entail putting in a new soil pipe on the side wall and digging up part of the drive to put in an inspection chamber ( not sure of the correct word), but the joists run in the correct direction and are deep enough to go from the study to the outside wall. He thought the ensuite in the current bedroom would impact the room. The 2nd designer thought we could put the ensuite in the main bedroom, but have the doorway on a slant so it wouldn't impact so much? I'm going to get a 3rd quote/opinion and go from there, but feeling more positive today. Jonathan - hadn't realised you meant knocking into the other room, sorry. Peggysue67 - another good idea, thank you

If you can extend to 7m its definitely worth extending to maximise the space. A good way to do layouts is cut out little templates of a toilet, sink, shower/tub, king-size bed etc then you will be able to work out how much space you will need to achieve what you are hoping for.

Hi

The Height 8.5ft

Width 11.6ft

Length 16.5ft (into bay)

It would be nice to have a set of drawers incorporated into the wardrobes...we will be buying a new bed/double . Once wardrobes are in place ideally would like some room to walk around bed too.

Thanks
