Master Bedroom Wardrobe — Elevation & Cutting List

Corrected layout · dimensions in mm · 20 Aug 2026

Assumptions — confirm before cutting: floor-to-ceiling 3000 mm · each bay 1200 mm wide · internal depth 600 mm. If your ceiling differs, flex the loft height first and the top shelf second — never the hanging rails. See adaptation note at the end.

What changed from your draft — and why

1 · The double hang didn't fit (the blocking fix)

Your draft stacked two short rails inside the same height as unit 1's long hang — about 610 mm per rail. Shirts on hangers need ~1000 mm; folded trousers ~900 mm. Everything would have dragged.

Fix: unit 2's hanging column now runs full height with no drawers beneath it (1050 + 900 = 1950 mm of rail). The drawers moved into the right-hand column under the shelves. Same storage, same footprint — it just needed re-stacking.

2 · The locker — anchoring, not height, is what secures it

Your draft had it shelf-mounted. A safe sitting on a shelf gets levered off with the shelf, and at 14 kg the NX Pro is light enough to carry away whole. I first moved it to the slab — but a safe you avoid because it’s awkward is worse than one at a marginally less secure height.

Fix: locker bay at 900–1320 mm AFF, keypad landing around 1050 mm — straight in the standing reach zone. It is secured by bolting through the back into structural wall, not by sitting low. Done properly that is genuinely strong: the meaningful gap is between anchored and not anchored, not between waist height and floor.

Three conditions the carpenter must meet:

That bay must back onto solid structural wall — RCC or full masonry. If it backs onto a hollow partition, drywall or a service shaft, back-anchoring is worthless and the safe has to go to the slab instead. Check this on the plan before he builds.
Leave the back panel open behind the locker bay, or cut openings at the bolt positions, so the safe fixes to masonry — never to 18 mm ply.
Reinforce the bay floor — 25–30 mm ply, or ply on a steel angle. 14 kg plus contents will bow a standard 18 mm shelf over time.

3 · Shoes demoted

Daily shoes belong at the entry — they carry grit and odour into a clothes cabinet. Kept a vented pull-out for occasional/formal pairs only. It needs vents top and bottom so air actually crosses; a single vent line ventilates nothing.

4 · Added, because they're expensive to retrofit

Laundry hamper pull-out — bottom right of unit 2. Otherwise it lives on the floor.
Interior LED strips + door sensors — needs conduit and a driver point run now.
Shutter ventilation — perforations or louvres top and bottom of each shutter. Indian humidity in a sealed wardrobe means musty clothes and fungus on leather and silk.
Full-length mirror — inside one shutter of unit 1, or a pull-out.
Power point inside unit 1 for the lighting driver and a charging/valet drawer.

Horizontal & depth — confirm with the carpenter

Internal depth ≥ 550 mm, ideally 600 mm. Below 550 a front-to-back rail won't take a shirt on a hanger and you'd need pull-out side-hanging rods instead.
Hanging columns ≥ 600 mm wide. A hanger is ~450 mm; anything narrower and clothes jam. Units 2 and 3 split 600 / 600.
Drawers over ~900 mm wide sag. Full-extension soft-close channels rated for the span, or a centre support.
Rail set ~50 mm below the shelf above it so hangers clear.
Locker bay clear width 450 mm (safe is 400 mm), bay floor at 900 mm AFF — and the shutter must open far enough for the safe door to swing. If these are sliding-door wardrobes, check the locker sits in a section that can be fully exposed.

If your ceiling isn't 3000 mm

Flex in this order, and stop as soon as it fits:

Loft height — 600 down to 450, or up to 750. Absorbs ±150 easily.
Top shelf — 430 down to 300 in bay 1; 350 down to 250 in bay 2.
Drawer heights — 200 down to 180.

Never shorten the rails. 1250 long hang, 1050 upper, 900 lower are floors, not targets. If a 2700 mm ceiling forces a choice, drop the loft in bay 2 entirely rather than shrinking the double hang — that was the original mistake.
