Description by Flatma:
This custom triangular wardrobe design offers a modern solution for maximizing storage in awkward under-stair or sloped-ceiling spaces. The built-in closet concept blends concealed cabinetry with central open shelving, creating a functional piece that complements contemporary interior design. The sloping top panel and triangular footprint demonstrate how to build a wardrobe that fits perfectly into challenging architectural corners, providing both hidden storage and display areas.
Construction Details: Wardrobe Plans with Dimensions
The wardrobe blueprint specifies a width of 2750mm (9 ft) and a height of 2550mm (8.4 ft), forming a large triangular shape to accommodate an angled wall. This design addresses standard wardrobe dimensions for built-in units, with a mix of closed compartments and open central shelving. The primary structure relies on a cabinet carcass built to fit the specific sloping space, ensuring every inch of available area becomes usable storage. These built-in closet blueprints provide a detailed starting point for a custom fit.
Materials and Hardware
Construction utilizes 18mm and 10mm laminated particle board (melamine board) in woodgrain finish H1122_22 and white finish W1000_9. The project requires three full sheets of H1122_22 in 18x1830x2750mm, plus additional sheets for specific components. A 5mm glass panel measuring 1605x2550mm adds a design element. All exposed edges receive 1 x 19mm H1122_22 edge banding, with a total application length of 37.728 meters. The material layout achieves a 29.1% utilization factor from the supplied sheets.
Assembly Process
Assembling this DIY closet involves careful cutting and joining of the melamine board panels, with a total cut length of 119.426 meters. The process includes applying the extensive edge banding to achieve a finished look. While no specific hardware is detailed in the blueprint, standard cabinet assembly techniques using confirmat screws or dowels would be applicable for constructing the cabinet box and attaching doors.
Adaptation Options
These wardrobe plans serve as a reference material, allowing for significant customization. The triangular dimensions may require adjustment to fit specific site conditions, especially the slope of the ceiling. Blueprints are available for preview before downloading to assess their suitability as a starting point for your project, not as a final specification. The design can be scaled or the material colors swapped to match different decors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I adjust these plans for a space with different ceiling angles?
A: The triangular design is adaptable. Focus on maintaining the core cabinet carcass depth and storage compartment layout while redrawing the sloping top panel and side to match your specific wall angle. The blueprint's 29.1% material utilization factor suggests efficient panel layout for custom cuts.
Q: What specific materials and quantities are needed to build this?
A: The project uses laminated particle board (MDF). You will need multiple sheets, primarily in the woodgrain finish H1122_22, including three sheets of 18x1830x2750mm. One sheet of white W1000_9 and a 5mm glass panel measuring 1605x2550mm are also specified, with 37.728 meters of matching edge banding.
Q: How complex is the assembly process for a DIY builder?
A: The assembly involves managing many custom cuts, with a total cut length of 119.426 meters, and applying edge banding to all exposed edges. Experience with panel materials and precise joinery is beneficial for ensuring the triangular sections fit together squarely against the wall.
Q: How do I download and use these blueprints for my project?
A: Blueprints are available for preview before downloading. Use them as a detailed reference for dimensions and layout, but verify all measurements against your actual space, as the 2750mm width and 2550mm height may require scaling for a perfect fit.
