Can I remove the built in wardrobe above the stairs?

Above our stairs is a built in wardrobe within an alcove in one of the bedrooms. Years ago a previous owner installed the wardrobe into what had been an empty alcove. It has its own window. I ideally would like to knock the wardrobe out, plasterboard it up, reducing the bedroom but giving us a double height stairway/hall as the hall is so small (and cannot be extended). Is this even possible!?

Comments (3)Hi , easiest and most cost effective will be to simply remove existing doors and fit floor to ceiling sliding doors in front. Ideally remove whole of the front wall with the doors, leave interior only if you are happy with the layout. We can do supply only if you are far from us. Ideal solution would be to remove completely and replace with stunning bespoke new wardrobe....See MoreReplacement built in wardrobe doors
Comments (9)Hi @Patrina 👋 got a new car and I’ve been messing with it, Im in the process or redecorating our back room and painted some ‘non contemporary‘ furniture we had in there, really isn’t my thing as my wife picked it but have to say it came out really well! I’ll put some pics up when I get it all sorted, still a makeup area and pictures to get but it will be just a cheap makeover until I get new fitted robes and bed ( which I still plan on making myself) ps I’m inspro pic? Cover pic is that? Had it a good few months now, see you changed yours too, with an addition in the background :-)...See MoreWhat to do with ugly built in wardrobe
Comments (13)Invest in an random orbital sander and a whole bunch of sandpaper. Like Katie suggested you could change handles. I would get some sturdier shelving as the ones there appear to already be bowing - 18mm MDF or plywood would work well. Rip out the ugly carpet and get some stick on vinyl tiles or wood planks. Cheap and easy and will last as you won’t be walking on them. Doors seam fine enough, maybe replace the hinges if you can’t salvage the old ones. Then you could match hinge and handle colour. I would paint the entire outside of the wardrobe in a dark colour to hide any imperfections. Paint the interiors in a pale neutral colour or maybe even paper the inner walls....See More
