Walk in wardrobe interior

[Nevercan]

We have a small space that is 1.5m by 1.20 metres off our bedroom that we want to make into our wardrobe. Can anyone recommend a good wardrobe/interior company for small spaces? I keep look at walk-in-wardrobes but they all seem a lot larger and grander than I need :-)

Lurking as I have a similar sized space.

I've currently put a double wardrobe in one side but its not a good use of space and opening the doors is a pita. Other side is built in shelves.

But I want something to make better use of the space.

I have looked at slide robes and sharps but they all look like I need a design visit

Ours was exactly that size and we got a fairly reasonable quote from Draks.

We didn't get sliding doors but rather fitted units that are fully open within the walk-in wardrobe. I love it. We got the Oxford Range.

Actually ours is wider thinking about it but I think Draks wardrobes would work well in your space.

I have something like this, but smaller and more lie your size.
There are loads of American websites. with great ideas. They'll give you the dimensions you need e.g. how high to place hanging rails and what width they require.

If you decide what you want then a decent handyperson or joiner could do a great job. I have hanging rails, shelves above and used an old storage unit along the back wall. (I don't have the chests of drawers idea across the side walls, just hanging space.) It was really cheap as I had someone to fit the hanging rails, and the shelves above. You'll probably get much better use of the space with a joiner or handyperson than if trying to fit off-the-shelf units inside.

you could just go to screw fix and buy some rails and end brackets - have a mix of double hanging and single hanging. don't overthink it ! just whack em up and fill it !!!

It's about 2 day's work to build the interior and then stud wall for front and panel it, I used a folding solid wood door and using some wood from a double wardrobe for the interior . Salvaged the rails bought a strip light. As well as being a nice sized walk in wardrobe it's a really good storage area too. I think the doors and the wood cost about £180 including architrave round door and a bit of new skirting to replace a bit that got damaged .

You need to take into account whats under the floor when building a stud wall upstairs , as central heating pipes need avoiding .So a stud detector

The bedroom is warmer now as there is less volume to heat

I finished of the front in the same color (summer daze as a feature wall}
with white paintwork sounds awful, but looks a nice summery glow to it

For anyone with only basic skills , stud walls are easy to put in . I would suggest facing it with some tongue and groove boards you can get some that are machined to look like small panels . Or you could use plasterboard or ply. Fit door sliding rail before finishing stud work . That way you wont go wrong. I took photos at intervals of my build in case any friend wanted to do the same. You need to take into account space either side of door hanging with folding door, The top rail of the stud work that goes to the ceiling just got a heavy dose of no nails as I didn't want to screw through any wiring. Using wood glue and screws a few nails it's solid as a rock.
