When we moved to our cottage with bedrooms in the eaves, we found ourselves in possession of a space-robbing wardrobe made from nailed together bits of timber and copper piping for the hanging rails. The doors didn't fit, because of the sloping floor and the timber surround was unfathomable! We hired a carpenter to replace with a bespoke solution which would make good use of the eaves space whilst allowing some usable hanging areas (not full length), and shelving in the awkward spaces. What we now have is at least 3 m2 more floor space and a well organised range of drawers, shelves and hanging space. Thanks to Lee Stockley (LS Carpentry, Hastings) who did the excellent work with the mdf and the Birch Ply. Drawers are from the Pax range at Ikea and the leather handles are from a lovely little company in Lampeter called (surprisingly) the Leather Handle Company.

Hi, love what you've done so far, lovely restful colour. I think it just needs accessories now. I'd go for white or ivory things to balance the the existing colour. Some great suggestions already, crisp white bedding, mirror, more lighting, texture.... I was thinking a dressing table on the blank wall and maybe an occasional chair in the corner by the window. Nice large piece of artwork between the wardrobes, smaller artwork above the bed, maybe a soft shaggy rug as well. Also some roman blinds that sit outside of the recess, even if you don't use them I think it will help to dress the windows better. Some inspiration pics: dressing table- Sweet pea and Willow. Art from Westelm, chair-Madison's du monde, and blind from Dunelm.

The door was opening on the other side and I hated it. The corner was too closed so we had him come back to make this change. He was supposed to do it in a better way so we can have the knobs still but he chose the easy way again. I’m not happy with the shelves either. The top shelf is way too big and the hanging space is lower because of this so we could only fit a few baskets underneath. Very annoying and lesson learned The only knob that we can put on all doors including the corner ones is something like this wangjian& Tatami Hidden Door Handles Zinc Alloy Recessed Flush Pull Cover Floor ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FFSDY4V/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_FWdREbE7H3FNZ We might still go for push open and flat plates or flush pull handles. At least for this there are solutions unlike the shelves that were nailed and glued :( Thanks all for your help

The wardrobes look like they have integral handles on the door edges? If so I’d be tempted not to have extra handles at all, and to paint the doors the same colour as your walls (very smart, by the way!). Then wardrobes would almost disappear.
