I took note of the substantial base that you built before you positioned the wardrobe. A solution you may not have considered for extra storage at floor level (I've seen this in kitchens exploiting unused space at kick board level) that space could have accommodated kick board drawers (push activation, no handles) shallow enough to accommodate shoes freeing up in-wardrobe storage. So that's 3 drawers you could have inserted sourced from the kitchen range. I'm about to build 2 wardrobes and very attentive to innovative solutions. I appreciate your step by step approach.

I care more about it looking good over hacking the bottom about. I have high skirting boards that I wanted to run flush to match the room. I don’t want them to look like drawers? The wardrobes are heavy when full of clothes. Adding a structure to insert drawers BELOW, is way above what I would attempt. The storage I would have gained would be about 12cm. A good idea if you’re a carpenter. Not something I would attempt. But thanks for the suggestion, I’m sure more skilled diy’ers could have a go. Thanks for the view.

WOW this turned out fab and looks AMAZING ! As an FYI I had the same height issue with my modern build apartment i.e. ceiling height of about 235 so my carpenter took 2cm off the bottom off the bottom of the wardrobes (the plinth) then built them standing up and secured them at the back to the walls. I had 3x 100cm units and the whole process took 2 hrs between carpenter and his mate. Fits perfectly and gives me the extra storage space as I have added shelves at the top of the wardrobe for out of season clothes. 😊

@@kirstygriffiths749 thanks. I wasn’t putting coving up but my ceiling isn’t level the frame piece of MDF for the top isn’t the same width all the way along. It’s 20cm at one end and 19 cm at the other but my wardrobes are level 😂. Thinking get it straight where it meets the wardrobe then the uneven gap near the ceiling can be covered with coving

You could have cut the units down instead and have the larger ones

I couldn’t then add Skirting at the bottom to match the room and then coving around the top? I’d just have wobbly units that look like standard IKEA? Kind of not what I wanted it to look like ( fitted & not IKEA looking) But thanks for the view and comment.

@@kirstygriffiths749 yes with the view of adding skirting and coving to you are right. We are about to buy and install ourselves. Going for seamless floor to ceiling so cutting the bottom plinth part off

Just be careful, IKEA furniture is great when you add to it and make is stronger, cutting it up is not something I’ve tried. I’ve been trolled on insta saying it won’t last despite marking it so much stronger with the frames. Good luck
