Come on now. Especially from someone like you, who placed enormous value on interior design in their own house, I expect a nicer wardrobe than in your office...
Besides, in your example, shoes, hats, gloves, scarves, and a place to put keys are still missing. And the OP also mentioned a seating option.
Regarding the clothes rack or the wall hooks in the utility room, you might be right, but there is still not enough space for that. Unless you almost completely forgo other storage options for it.
The lower wall on the plan is probably almost completely occupied by technical installations including the house connections, the upper niche serves for the washing machine/dryer and all the other stuff needed for laundry. Or vice versa.
Great, then there’s the wall to the WC left. Since there’s no room for a shelf behind the door anyway, you could put the wardrobe there. But that’s about it. Where would the shoes go? On a shelf above the washing machine or what? Then the window would be in the way...
I don’t care, I don’t have to live in it, I just wanted to point out that the planned space for a wardrobe will very quickly reach its spatial limits.
On the other hand, to my taste, available space is being handled too generously. Why not make the upper part including office/wardrobe/WC/utility room a bit bigger, and the open-plan living area a bit smaller?
In the guest WC you can’t even open the door properly without having to stand between the toilet and the sink first. With a raw construction size of 1.60 m less plaster and toilet (if there’s no wall concealed installation) about 1 m remains for you and the door.
This has nothing to do with taste, it’s simply impractical and annoying in the long run.
What the OP makes of it is their business, I’m out here. No offense intended.
It wouldn’t be my thing either, but I can definitely understand the idea behind it.
You just have to implement it cleverly and beautifully.
There are builders who don’t care and build according to a "form follows function" principle. Then there’s an Ikea dresser with lots of storage space in the hallway.
Then there are those who focus more on design and hang a wall shelf with nice decoration:
It doesn’t have to be the complete winter and summer wardrobe in the utility room. How many jackets do you actually wear in winter and the transitional period? I personally have a total of 3.
All others are stored away. For that, a big closet in the office also works, you don’t need a large wardrobe room.
A clothes rail like I have at work certainly wouldn’t be an option at home, I just wanted to show how many jackets you can hang there. That’s plenty for everyday needs.
