Hello!
While my partner has reached a stage in the attic renovation where I'm mostly in the way, I thought I might try to organize a space on the ground floor for a wardrobe.
The space is 110cm deep and 177cm wide.
It feels like a waste of space to just have a wardrobe straight in, so I've been thinking about whether I could make a narrower track system to place in front
like they did in a program on Äntligen Hemma.

In the wardrobe, I thought of having space for the vacuum cleaner, which is currently always out, as well as all other cleaning materials. Ideally, some form of clothing storage for winter jackets, hats, gloves, and space for my too many shoes
Is this something a half-inept person could manage? And how do you think I should go about it?
I can use a saw and a screwdriver.
The only step I'm clear about is that I plan to build a new floor at the bottom and then hang an IKEA sliding door on it so you don't have to trip over a frame and instead, the entire wardrobe is a step up.
The article on Äntligen Hemma doesn't help me much, so I don't know how to build the shelves on tracks at all :/

excuse the poor drawing which is anything but to scale but here I have two options I am considering
one where I have an entire wall with storage and a shoe storage in front on a railing
and the other where I have narrow shelves on two walls on the left side.
I imagine it is easier to find things then.

I might make it easy for myself and put this http://m.ikea.com/se/sv/search/?query=stolmen&_=1358099865022#/se/sv/catalog/products/spr/99875629/ on the right side but the narrower one that is 55 cm wide. Then I'll have two drawers at the bottom and maybe hang heights.
On the left, maybe build up a wooden wall to mount shelves in? Everything is brick and the last time I drilled holes to put up shelves in the kitchen, I left just as many even bigger holes in the room next door
It might be possible that Ikea has a basic Pax wardrobe that you can put on a rail in front perhaps?
Just want something here at home that is "my project" Something that I can be proud of.

Sounds like an excellent "own" project...get started and tear everything out...take lots of photos and post them here so you'll see that many will guide you through this...
I don't need to tear anything down before I start, there's just a bed in the space right now. I just have to plan a good solution to move the front shelf sideways.
And how I should start without my partner strangling me

Make it clear to your partner from the start that this is your project and that you don't want him to get involved...preferably in writing...
Haha. However, I have to ask him to patch up the holes in the walls.
I'll draw the best sketch I can tomorrow and drive to my dad to discuss it with him. He's a sjukpensionär and I work shifts, so it can be nice to have his help when needed... Especially for driving and shopping at the sawmill.

Well then,
When I write that there's only a bed in the opening, I tried to ignore the fact that the bed has to go somewhere.
Last night I started clearing up all the junk that was everywhere in our current bedroom before heading to work.
Today I continued by dismantling an Ikea dresser that was broken and a CD shelf.
Most of it is cleared away, and our basement is now impassable.
I've lifted the floor in the space we intend to use, and when the old wooden floor was revealed, I think the room smells old, like an old dusty carpet :/
I've talked a bit with my dad about what to do with the wardrobe on rails since Ikea's doesn't reach all the way to the ceiling, and I'm considering if it can be placed on a cart that locks into two rails on the floor.
Actually, both my partner and I think we need to redo the entire current bedroom, but the bed is in there, and the house doesn't have that many more rooms.

Pictures....
Okay!
Here was the bed
And it was supposed to go here
But now it's in place
And the gap is empty
Here is my hammer that I used for molding and flooring today
I mean, the walls must be repainted.
And where the pipe is hanging out.
I tore down the whole wall there to set up the AC last summer, so it might be just as well to take down the masonite and re-drywall the room, so you learn that too.

And today I haven't gotten out of bed. Headache and sore throat. Hope I feel better before work tonight.

Otherwise, perhaps standing shelves on wheels that can be pulled straight out?
Hello!
How do you mean then?
How do you mean then?
I've pulled a bit on the outer wall now.
It's wind barrier and then Tretex.
The question is what the heck to do if you pull off the Tretex.
The wall is two half bricks (is that what it's called when you build up two walls next to each other?) with an air gap, then wind barrier and Tretex.
The only thing I can think of is to put a 10-15 mm foam plastic and mesh it.
The idea is to put foam plastic on the entire outside of the house when we remodel the facade, but that might be 10 years from now, and until then I’d like to keep the house warm... and a gypsum board doesn't insulate very much.

I pulled a bit on the wall yesterday. And you can have pictures of it.
Still feeling bad, so nothing got done today and no work tonight either.
Renoveringsgips maybe?
