Anchor wardrobe that isn't flush against wall

[NathalieH]

We have a wardrobe that will stand in front of a radiator, about 10 cm from the wall. Do you have any super tips on how I can anchor this wardrobe to the wall?

Difficult to make it look good. Can you anchor it to the floor instead?

White-painted 45x95mm wooden stud lying between the closet and the wall at the top? Alternatively, a standing one from the floor up?

 

[AndersS]

The element should not be used?

 

[andersgrebin]

An angle iron on the top maybe as a quick solution?

Is the back wall "flush against" (without gap) the wall next to the front door? Change it if so. Otherwise, a protruding white-painted board screwed at the back "roof" of the wardrobe with a furniture bracket that is screwed to the wall to the left of the wardrobe.

Difficult to make it look nice. Can you anchor it to the floor instead?

Unfortunately not. Whether it looks nice or not doesn't matter, we will place a trim on the side that covers it. The most important thing is that the son doesn't get the wardrobe over him.

We were also considering a stud from the wardrobe to the wall at the top. How do you attach it best?

Very possible. How do I attach it between the wall and the wardrobe?

Is the back wall "flush" (without gap) against the wall next to the front door? Change that in that case. Otherwise, a protruding white-painted board screwed to the back "ceiling" of the wardrobe with a furniture bracket screwed to the wall to the left of the wardrobe

No, there is nothing for the wardrobe to lean against at all. We would like to avoid placing the wardrobe near the window to still allow some light in.

Please explain more about what you're thinking with the board.

You'll need to try to find an angle bracket that is long enough. But even then, I don't think the wardrobe will be good as Ikea's wardrobes, like many others, need to be fixed stably to the wall so they don’t become wobbly.

Can't you just remove the radiator if you’re not going to use it? That way you’ll also avoid the dust trap behind the wardrobe.

Live in a condominium and don't have permission to remove the radiator.

If we buy screws that are long enough. Wall plugs, screw in there, and washers on the inside of the wardrobe to hold the screw - could that be an option?

Can you take a more comprehensive picture and upload it, then maybe you'll get some better suggestions.
