IKEA cabinet Wardrobe

Built-in wardrobe, in a 40 cm deep and 190 cm wide slot in a wall.

2 pcs 200×60 cabinets.
1 pc 40×60 cabinet.
3 pcs 40×60 cabinets.
1 acoustic wall panel as a back plate in the sitting ‘cave’.

The right hand low cabinet is a seat. All high cabins – and the seat – have hidden LED lighting. And the left hand door has a full size mirror inside, on the door.

Acoustic wall of slats

Whole wall covered with slat panels.

° Location : entrance, hallway of an apartment.

° Wall area : 10 sq.m.

11 pieces of 300 x 2650 mm slat panels. Panels are mounted onto horizontal wooden bars by 25 mm wood screws. The 3 wooden bars are mounted to gyproc wallboard.

By not gluing the panels to the wall, the wall is not damaged if the panels are removed in the future. And, the panels come down in one piece, undamaged, and can be used again.

Had I been given completely free hands, I would have built this panel wall with about 25 mm thick absorbing material – placed behind the panel – and left a 20 mm air space between absorbant and the wall. The slats would have been slightly larger in profile, and mounted piece-by-piece.
