Marina We were in exactly the same situation when we moved into our current house - with two bedrooms having had previous DIY wardrobes installed!! An inexpensive way to a solution, would be to choose doors you like and buy them and then get the fittings from a company called ironmongerydirect.co.uk. They have every fitting you can think of - I have used them for a spare bedroom. I attach a photo- although you may want to go more modern!

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.

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

Changing the handles (middle of door) and a bit of paint will improve them a lot. Would wait with decorative trim, can always add later. (scrolling pulls and knobs is fun)
