Hello,

I will be moving into new house shortly and it has a closet space in the bedroom, that is 89cm deep, as far as I can tell most "big" wardrobes are usually about 60cm deep

What can I do to maximise this space and not waste the extra 30cm depth.
All I have come up with so far is to design a normal 60cm usage of the depth, then hang stuff on the back of the doors to use up the remaining space, this doesn't seem very efficient to me though.

I have no problem having bits sliding out if it helps use the space better.

dims are

internal
H - 241
D - 89
W - 160

Door opening
H - 198
W -134

I was going to put a central column of shelves in the middle and rails either side.

Cheers
 
Is the door centralised so that the walls of the closet are of equal distance away from the doorway?

You could have a set of cubbyholes for storing dress shoes or misc. items. So the front of the wardrobe is of a normal depth but the 31cm is a combination of cubbyholes and shelves. You could have little pull out plastic storage containers on the shelves/cubbyholes.
 
it has a double door opening which is the whole width of the space hence the door opening being only 14cm different to the actual width of the space :)
 
I designed my own wardrobe using beech effect conti board from B&Q, pretty sure you can get the boards over a M deep.

Mine was built in a corner I have in the corner of my room due to having a chimney breast coming up through my room.

Grab a piece of paper and just design some ideas of how you could use the space and how you could divide it into sections to store your stuff.

Use conti board and batons to build plan.

Job done.
