Moved house, just realised there is no bloody storage space for clothes!!!

[loveka]

I have just moved to a much bigger house- I was in a 2 up 2 down before. One reason for moving is we only had room.for a wardrobe each in our bedroom and it drove me mad.

We have just put the furniture into the rooms and due to their shape there is no room for one wardrobe in any of the 3 bedrooms!

I can't believe I missed this...

All the bedrooms have a bed and chest of drawers in, but due to radiator size and having the original fireplaces (which I love) there is no room at all!

We can fit one wardrobe on the landing. But that's it.

Our bedroom has a dressing room. This has sloping ceilings so no room for a wardrobe. It has under eaves storage on both sides, which now has a dressing table and a day bed in front. I could put stuff in there, but its going to be really difficult to access.

I have bought a dress rail today.

I wondered if anyone has overcome this issue? Any bright ideas? I am feeling pretty foolish...

You could try a Zebedee rail on the sloped ceilings;

Personally, I would be getting a built-in wardrobe in the alcove where the chair is. If it's not deep enough for hangers, you can use a rail like this;

There isn't room for 2 normal doors, so I would put in a 3 or 4 fold bi-fold, or sliding doors. You could have shelves underneath the hanging rail with baskets etc.

You could also consider a couple of "gentlemans' wardrobes" for the other rooms, which have hanging rails for jackets and trousers, and drawers underneath or alongside. Used to be very popular, and are around shoulder height. They're not hard to find in second-hand shops etc, and are usually oak or another hardwood. They paint up a treat!

Thanks all!

I can't post a floor plan without tbe rest of the details showing!

I had to do the house quickly for reasons that would totally out me! But I had no choice.

Screenshot and crop it down or edit and write over the info?

We also have sloping ceilings in our bedroom, it can be tricky to decide what's best but we bought two small wardrobes from m and s and lots of drawers of different heights to make the most of the space.

Built in wardrobes can be fitted in sloped ceilings, they really would be best bet to make the most of the space. You can get a carpenter around to see, don't need to go to a big company.

We have sloping ceilings and our built in wardrobe is on the landing outside our bedroom door. It works fine.

What's the wall like where your chest of drawers is?

House I moved into has sloped ceilings in the dressing room and it has a long fitted hanging rail thats tall enough for dresses. Have attached pic.

I've used IKEA Malm 3 draw units to give maximum storage under other sloped bits.

You need built in wardrobes in the alcoves and under eaves.

Day bed etc needs to go.

Agree with wowfudge re: moving rads

Worst case scenario, you could look at removing any chimney breasts tgat dont have fires you want to keep but that would require steels etc. However, you would get a flat wall

Beds look too big

My daughter's bedroom (the master that should be mine!) has a slopped roof dressing room which has a full celling height section at each end. I have a triple Ikea wardrobe one end and a double plus drawers the other. Plus she has a 2 metre full celling height wall that seperstes the ensuite. How she is very lucky as the dressing room is bigger than some kids bedrooms at 2.7m wide and 6m long!

I think I am going to move the radiator, which will be a pain I would imagine. The wall behind it is long and I could get both wardrobes on it as well as the chest.

The rail in the dressing room idea looks great and I will do that too. We know a great carpenter so I will get him to have a look.

The room measures 4 m x 3.2m. The bed looks a bit bigger than real life as the photo is taken with a wide angle lens.

It's not too much of a pain to move the rad. The pipes come up from under the floor

I'll have to take the carpet up though I think.

I should have thought of these things, but we moved 250 miles away so only had 1 viewing. Also had only a month and very limited money to do it up!

I feel sad to get rid of the day bed but there is no other way I think!
