Revamped walk-in robe

Revamped walk-in robe

We had a very dysfunctional space as our walk in robe. Nothing fit into hang space, shelving was built in weird sizes, lacked a lot of practical space.

so we pushed back into garage to steal a garage cupboard, and pushed slightly out into entryway to steal another small cupboard. And the end result is pleasing.

Materials

*We had to re plasster walls and then repaint. (Used Dulux wash n wear paint in natural white.)

*we laid hybrid flooring from Bunnings

ikea pax was only wardrobe that would fit space.

 

*led lighting and directional lights purchased from Bunnings)

Re: Revamped walk-in robe

What a sensational result you've achieved there, @Christie78. I trust you're thrilled with the finished project, as it looks amazing and so much more functional. I love how you've made the best use of a less than optimal layout.

 

Well done, and many thanks for sharing.
