Building a wardrobe to fit a space - anyone done it?

[CoolHands]

I want to build a wardrobe to hang clothes in the space below. To fit between the wall and the lightswitch, and go into the corner. I am think perhaps sliding doors? Because of the room layout not shown, there is nowhere else at all to put a wardrobe or any other furniture (other than bed).

I realise the left side will not be accessible where it will sit behind the chest of drawers - does anyone know if there are fancy swing out rails or anything like you can get for kitchen units these days? Does anyone know of / used any decent suppliers of sliding doors, sliders, rail units etc or any other advice. I might pop in to ikea to have a look, I'm not averse to them but obviously I have a limited size to play with (107cm from corner to lightswitch, 48cm from wall to edge of chest of drawers, ceiling 202cm high). I am fairly competent with a saw

cheers

yeah cheers. In that case do (you or) anyone have any ideas about if I got rid of the chest of drawers, what could I do with that space to combine both wardrobe plus some drawers in a more useable format? That is the only space available which is annoying, but nothing I can do. I have constantly had this problem but it's a small flat.

ok cheers. Might go to ikea later for some inspiration. On a Saturday too! Arrgghh

well back from ikea & basically as both walls are quite short (from corner to light switch 107cm, or from corner to err... exterior corner 128cm) it's going to have to be a bog standard two-door 1 meter wide wardrobe. The do quite good drawer units which fit inside the lower portion of the wardrobe so combines all you need really. Cheers all. this sort of thing but might get mirrored doors

just to finish this thread if anyones interested, I ended up using a wardrobe from IKEA that was the right height and 1 metre wide. It ended up being the best solution, inside it has drawers for the lower section. It fitted in either orientation but this one was the best in the end
