The problem

The bedroom had high ceilings (2.9m) and one usable wardrobe wall, but the brief involved two adults with very different storage habits — one a hanging-everything, one a shelves-and-folded-everything — plus the practical need to hide an ironing board and steamer without dedicating a whole cupboard to them.

The solution

A four-bay wardrobe with each pair of bays configured for one of the adults — bays 1+2 are hanging-and-shoes, bays 3+4 are shelves-and-folded. A narrow fifth pull-out at one end holds the ironing board vertically and the steamer on a clip. Doors are uniform across all bays so the configuration doesn't read on the outside.

Materials & finish

18mm Egger MFC carcass; MDF shaker doors painted Farrow & Ball Wevet (No. 273); Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges; Blum TANDEM drawer runners; folding ironing-board bracket from Häfele; Romo cotton fabric on the ironing-board cover.

Outcome

Two storage profiles in one wardrobe, ironing kit out of sight, and a wall that reads as a single piece of joinery from any angle in the room.

A painted shaker wardrobe split into two storage profiles — one for hanging-everything, one for folded — with a hidden ironing-board bay at one end. Uniform doors so the configuration doesn’t show.
