Hi guys, please help me!!

We have a bonus room that has "A" frame ceilings with no closet. The height of the wall before it starts to angle is 48".
We have 2 girls and lots of hanging clothes. Looking for an option without putting a wardrobe smack in the middle of the rooms where the ceiling is high enough.

I thought about laying a pax frame on it's side and run a rod across for hanging shirts, but then they are open and I'd like doors.

I also thought about cutting the middle support on the odda wardrobe and lay it on it's side too.

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I could make the lack bookcase look ok with the hanging clothes exposed. Anyone know how sturdy it would be without the middle shelves, on it's side?


They have a really contemporary look, I'm trying to avoid black wood, because we have all white...

I did several hanging wardrobes for my ex, based on the 16-inch deep unfinished pine utility storage shelves (my apologies, I cannot remember the real name of the line- we called it "low-rent IVAR" ) - These are inexpensive enough to cut down to fit under the
lower ceiling areas, and can be arranged at differing heights- a "stairstep" effect.

assemble the shelves with 2 shelves at bottom, a small storage area at top and the metal x-brace behind, suspend metal hanging rod from the "bottom-most-upper" shelf for hanging. Sand and finish if desired.

Wrap the sides and back in an appropriate fabric, stapling to the pine.

add a curtain rod across the front, and a curtain "door" and you have attractive hanging wardrobes (for approx. $30 each)

(shirts and jackets can happily hang in a 36-40-inch high wardrobe, - they don't all have to be at eye-level, especially for kids' clothes)

Ikea's unusual curtain rails would make for excellent "doors".

I think you mean GORM?.
