Hello,
My partner (32) and I (31) are moving into a semi-detached house this summer. The semi-detached house was inherited.
We are now considering how to arrange the bedroom. I took a photo of the floor plan along with our current ideas. We think that a corner wardrobe solution would be best to maximize the available space in this room. For the wardrobe system, we want to use Sinfonie Plus with sliding doors from Staud – maybe someone here has experience with that? The floor is beech laminate, which we plan to keep for now.
The bed is a solid wood bed in white, with a country style. There are pine trim boards at both the foot and head ends in natural pine. We have two white bedside tables from Ikea’s Hemnes series, also made of real wood, and a Hemnes dresser which currently doesn’t have a place yet (W 57cm (22 inches), D 39cm (15 inches), H 130cm (51 inches)). My partner would ideally like to have the two dressers I currently have placed in the hallway moved into the bedroom, but I don’t think that will be possible.
Does anyone have ideas on how we could arrange the room cleverly?

Martin84Bln2 Feb 2016 22:39Can you also say something about the quality differences between Nolte, Staud, or Rauch, or perhaps someone else? How can you tell the differences compared to Pax? Thanks for the tips about Roller and Poco. Otherwise, I would have completely avoided those stores.

Martin84Bln3 Feb 2016 11:50I found Mondo furniture, but unfortunately, it’s only available in Berlin at Porta Möbel. Does anyone know this brand? I find it difficult to figure out all the differences. Staud seems to offer only the standard 2-year warranty, MONDO offers 5 years, and Nolte even provides 10 years.
However, I couldn’t find any information about the wall thickness or load capacity of the shelves for Staud. There’s also nothing on Mondo, while Nolte specifies using 22 mm (7/8 inch) thick cabinet shelves and a clothes rail that can support up to 60 kg/m (40 lbs/ft). I have no idea if that’s good or bad.

Martin84Bln17 Feb 2016 12:40Hello, I would like to ask for your help again. My girlfriend and I have calculated how much wardrobe space each of us needs. To fit everything comfortably in my wardrobe, I need 2 meters (6.6 feet). My girlfriend alone has hanging rods with a total length of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), as she hangs a lot of clothes. In addition, there are various shelves for the rest of our clothing and sportswear—we both do road cycling, jogging, and occasionally skiing, so that adds up.
My girlfriend now thinks that the corner wardrobe option is too small for us. As an alternative, she would like to use the other room as the bedroom, since more wardrobe space would fit there. I don’t find that ideal, because the bed would then be in front of the window, and the window wouldn’t fully open since the back of my bed is 95 cm (37 inches) high and the window starts at 90 cm (35 inches). Visually, I also find it less appealing.
What do you think? What options do we have to create more wardrobe space?

What do you think? What options do we have to create more wardrobe space?
I know that sportswear takes up space, but when we’re talking about 2 meters / 2.5 meters (6.6 feet / 8.2 feet), I would start by decluttering. This is not meant ironically.
Even though many people think a bedroom is just for sleeping... Sorry, but you also want to feel comfortable there, and that doesn’t include sleeping surrounded by piles of clothing. The proposed options don’t exactly inspire a restful sleep for me. With that said, good night.

Martin84Bln18 Feb 2016 07:23Hello, to help me visualize this better: How much closet space do you have for two people? Please roughly convert small dressers into closet meters. This way, we can have a reference point for what is considered normal, especially since "normal" clothing storage is very subjective. Some people only need 1 meter (3 feet) of closet space, while others require 3 meters (10 feet) because they need to look professional every day for work.
I think 3 to 3.5 meters (10 to 11.5 feet) of wardrobe space per person for everything is not unusual. This includes bed linens, seasonal clothing, such as summer jackets that I don’t need in winter, and so on.
I hang all my clothes; only underwear, socks, sweaters, and bed linens are stored folded.
So, I have a 310 cm (10 ft) wardrobe with a depth of 60 cm (24 inches) (Pax system) and a 60 cm (24 inches) shelf for bed linens, sportswear, etc.
Each is 238 cm (7 ft 10 inches) high.
