Bedrooms Design Dilemma Storage

Master Bedroom Fitted wardrobes

5 years ago

last modified: 5 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.

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 !

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

Thank you both for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately funds don't allow us to knock the understairs storage through and we also use that to its full capacity as it it. A project for the future perhaps! What we really need is hanging space and storage space that we can access everyday for our clothes. I do love the ideas of storage under the bed and wonder whether something like this in the third picture down would work? https://bloesem.blogs.com/bloesem/2013/04/studio-oink.html

I would do an "open" bathroom (shower/bath + sink, no toilet because the room is too small to have a closed space) in the wall where the box room is, with a wardrobe opposite the bed. I would not do a partition wall between the bathroom and the room because it would make the space so small, but I would build a Crittal screen-looking separation! This would make your room very wow like you want ;) But bear in mind it would still make the room smaller, and the bathroom wouldn't be huge either, but I love these open ensuite :D Feel free to message me if you want more info, I am an interior designer and I can help you with 3D to imagine the space!

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
