Why use the corner
A corner wardrobe turns dead space into storage and often adds a lot of hanging length. It suits bedrooms where one wall is not long enough for a full wardrobe, and where the corner is out of the way of doors and windows.
Layouts
- L-shaped wardrobe. Units along two walls meeting at the corner.
- Diagonal corner unit. An angled door cuts across the corner.
- Corner walk-in. A small walk-in nook behind a door in the corner.
- Corner with carousel. A rotating rail or shelf in the corner.
Dealing with the corner itself
The blind corner is hard to use. Use a corner carousel rail, a pull-out shelf or fixed shelves for rarely used items, or leave the corner for storage that does not need daily access. A diagonal unit gives easier access but loses some space.
Doors
Sliding doors on one arm save space and hinged doors on the other give full access. Check that doors do not collide at the corner. Mirrored doors add light. Soft-close hardware protects fingers and reduces noise.

Lighting and ventilation
Corners are dark, so add LED strips inside and a switch or sensor. Add vents to prevent smell. See wardrobe lights. A licensed electrician should handle mains wiring.
Sizes
Each arm should be at least 4 to 5 feet long for a useful wardrobe, with a depth of 22 to 24 inches. Allow 3 feet of clear floor in front of hinged doors. In small rooms, reduce depth to 18 inches for the arm that faces the bed.
Mistakes to avoid
Avoid blocking a window or radiator, placing doors that clash at the corner and ignoring access to the blind corner. Do not forget the thickness of door panels in the measurements, and take measurements after plastering. Make sure the room still feels balanced after the wardrobe is built: leave the window wall light, keep the bed away from a tall unit that could loom over it and choose a colour close to the wall so that the corner does not feel heavy. Share the drawing with all users, and note any left-handed users who may prefer different door hinges.
Before you decide
Mark both arms on the floor with tape and open an imaginary door to check swings. Decide how to use the blind corner, and ask your maker for a drawing with internal layout. A corner wardrobe can double your hanging space in the same room.
