Building wardrobe/closet into vaulted ceilings…

(BTW..that’s a wooden duck on the desk!!)

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t believe that for one minute….

You’re OH is a sex therapist and I claim my £5!

We have live in the loft and have the same issue. We fitted sliding doors across and split the space into three with clothes rails into and we put Ikea draws in the three dead spaces. Its OK but I’m just now wacthing the missus crawling on her hand and knees through her clothes to get to the draws. I don’t keep anything in the drawers I need to access regularly

Why is “drawer” such a problematic word for so many people?

We’ve got a similar ish situation. I just have a long low Ikea Kallax (2×4) at the back. If the wardrobe back is open, you can access the boxes through the clothes. Use it for stuff you only need occasionally. It’s a bit annoying but waaaaaay easier to implement than the admittedly very cool draws* that Kayak posted.

*Yes, that one’s for you 😘.

Remember that it’s unlikely that kids will need a full height hanging rail, so turning it sideways and lowering it gives you some more options.

Tru dat…

I guess the key decider is “how low a hanging height can i get away with?”
the lower the height, the further back i can have the hanging space..

So the net says “106cm…” for hanging, but i reckon 60cm would suffice for kids stuff

Is that another Ikea shelving unit?

It is the magazine rack with a false front to hide the specialist magazine covers

IIRC their feet shouldn’t be able to touch the ground….

I agree with @footflaps first post on this page and also claim £5.

If you zoom in 800% you can clearly see that it is a wooden duck

However DrP really is a genuine Dr and ‘duck’ is the medical slang for an anal probe

Have a pair of angled hanging rails with pins/stops/loops on it (like some clothes shops) mounted to the ceiling, either with a gap in the middle to access the clothes, or back to back and accessed from either side.

Tall stuff at the front, short stuff at the back.

Probably all sorts of stuff you could use as rail, 21mm uni-strut slotted channel, tensioned chain, just saw you can pay £60 for an angled hanging rail with a spring stretched over it to hold your hangers too.

Obviously you’d need to check the hangers will hook on and off nicely without jamming them under the ceiling!

You could also put a low rail across the back and hang those box organiser things that are designed for t-shirts and shoes…and they will hide entrance to the secret room 🙂

Yeah but kids have this habit of growing taller and needing bigger clothes. So unless you want to be doing all this again a few years (which will go by faster than you think) I’d aim it at adult size clothes.
I fitted a new rail in a built in wardrobe for my 12yr old at the weekend. Measured the height by getting one of my suit jackets (as the longest thing I have hanging up) and using that. No idea how high it actually measures though.
