Before you commit
- Count the longer garments before splitting the hanging rails.
- Mock up the depth of drawers with handles and doors installed.
- Ask how adjacent wall finishes and floor skirting affect fitting and future access.
Hinged doorsWhere you have room for a full opening and want to see the whole bay.
Check the widest door against bedside tables, room doors and handles.
Sliding doorsWhere a projecting door would block the path beside the bed.
Check how much of the inside stays hidden when the doors overlap and whether every drawer can open.
Open or walk-in storageWhere there is a separate dressing zone and frequently used clothes can stay visible.
Check dust exposure, lighting, mirror position and the route between dressing and laundry.
Tall unit with loftWhere seasonal storage can sit above daily-use drawers and rails.
Set daily reach first and make sure bulky items can be lifted in without hitting a fitting.
