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?

Martin84Bln22 Feb 2016 08:24My girlfriend thinks the space will be sufficient. The 336 cm (11 feet) wide wardrobe is divided into three sections, each 110 cm (43 inches) wide. Each section has one shelf and one clothing rail. The other wardrobe, exactly 225 cm (7 feet 5 inches) wide, has two sections, also 110 cm (43 inches) wide each. So, we have a total of five shelves and five clothing rails available from the start.
In two of the 110 cm (43 inches) sections of the wardrobe against the wall, we would install two clothing rails per section. We are both tall and can easily reach the upper rail, while the lower rail, which doesn’t require as much height, would be used to hang pants on hangers. In the third 110 cm (43 inches) section against the wall, my girlfriend wants a T-division because she has a few long dresses, plus four drawers.
The narrow wardrobe will only have shelves, where we will store T-shirts, sweaters, towels, sports gear, and bedding. Since my girlfriend prefers not to stack items two rows deep, no space will be wasted there. She assured me this will be enough since shoes will be stored in the basement or the hallway closet, and winter coats will have a separate wardrobe in the basement.
Regarding the wardrobe that serves as a room divider, would it be better to use hinged doors instead of two sliding doors? While it would look different visually, would hinged doors make the wardrobe more stable? The wardrobe would be stabilized by the wooden back panel, which can also be screwed to the wall for additional stability.

In my opinion, with two clothes rods in a wardrobe that is 221 cm (87 inches) tall and also has a small base area, there is no room left for a shelf.
I have Pax wardrobes that are 236 cm (93 inches) high and I also use two rods per wardrobe. I’m quite tall, so some of my tops are longer. In my case, two rods fit one above the other, so everything hangs without touching the lower items, but there’s no space left for a shelf. You should check how much space is needed from the rod plus about 5 cm (2 inches) to allow the hanger hook to fit over the rod to the bottom edge of the hanging clothes.
I also hang a lot of T-shirts and similar items.
For trousers, I installed the special pull-out trouser rack from the Pax series.
I would rather install drawers in a shallower wardrobe. I use drawers for underwear, socks, and similar items.
Sweaters I store in the special pull-out plastic trays with lids (small ventilation slots) from the Pax series.

yes, we are aware of the two clothes rails and shelves; they have been included from the start. Unfortunately, the pants hanger from Ikea is only 96cm (38 inches) wide, while our wardrobe (it would be the Sinfonie Plus from Staud) is 110cm (43 inches) wide each. There is a pants holder available for it as well, but unfortunately only in 44cm (17 inches) width x 47.5cm (19 inches) depth, and it costs a hefty 120€..... :-((
