Sibu Master Bedroom: A Wardrobe Wall That Keeps the Room Calm
Master bedroom concept: wardrobe wall, floor and curtains
The Challenge
A common master bedroom brief: a bed, a window and a full wardrobe wall in one room, where the door type decides how much floor stays clear and how the room feels.
The Approach
The concept plans the wardrobe wall first: sliding doors, so the floor in front stays clear, with the interior fitted behind them. The floor, the curtains and the lighting are then chosen around the wall and the bed. Nothing here is measured, specified or quoted.
Proposed resolution
Designed so the wardrobe door type, the interior and the floor in front of it can be decided together on paper, before the carcass is built. It is a concept for the reader to react to, not a built result, a quotation or an approval.
Key Lessons
- →Choose the wardrobe door type from the floor space in front of it
- →Decide the interior fittings and the door type together
- →Curtains, tracks and wardrobe doors need clearance from one another
- →Judge the wall, the floor and the bedding together, in the actual room
See it, understand it, specify it
One master bedroom, taken in the order a decision is made. It is a concept study: not a built project, a quotation or an approval.
Overall view
One master bedroom drawn as a whole: a bed beside a window, a wardrobe wall with two sliding panels and one open bay, a bedside lamp and a framed picture.
Palette board
What each surface looks like in the concept. These are appearance directions read from the render: no sample, product or code is matched or approved.
- Ceiling
- Plain flat white.
- Wall
- Plain warm white.
- Floor
- Light timber-look planks, with a woven rug beside the bed.
- Cabinet
- Flat off-white sliding doors, with a timber-toned interior fitted with hanging rails and shelves.
- Countertop
- Not drawn in this view, so it stays blank here.
- Backsplash
- Not drawn in this view, so it stays blank here.
- Metal
- Matte black on the window frame.
- Fabric
- Cream bedding with a grey throw and cushions, sheer curtains, and a woven rug.
Check physical samples together, under the intended lighting, before approving or buying anything.
Compare one decision at a time
This bedroom's own comparison is being prepared. No render of it has a twin that changes one decision, so none is drawn. These renders are needed:
- This view with the wardrobe doors as sliding, swing and open, drawn at one wardrobe width.
- This view with the floor in light timber-look planks and in a darker timber look.
- This view with the curtains as sheers only and as sheers with a blackout lining.
Detail view
The junction at the bedroom door: where the bedroom floor meets the floor beside it.
Floor transition: a flat join or a proper step, not a small in-between
Where one floor meets another, between old extensions or between two floor materials, a small unplanned level change trips people and traps water at the join.
Decide the transition before the floors are laid: keep one flat level and let the change of material mark the zone, or make the level change a proper step of 150 mm or more, or plan a ramp or a detailed threshold. The profile that finishes the join, its dimensions and how it is fixed are confirmed before the flooring is specified.
Read the full detailWhy this combination
Off-white sliding doors, a light timber-look floor and plain warm walls give the room one quiet palette with a single dark accent at the window, so the bed and the bedding carry the colour. ELS leans to this combination in a master bedroom where the floor in front of the wardrobe should stay clear, since sliding doors do not swing into it.
An alternative suits better when the floor in front of the wardrobe is wide enough for swing doors; when the household wants the wardrobe to read as furniture, where timber-grain fronts can help; or when the client keeps an existing bed or floor, in which case the wall and the doors are chosen around what stays.
These are preferences, not rules. Judge the combination in the actual room, with the samples, under its own lighting.
Procurement status
Nothing here is specified. ALUMAX binds the exact product, price and lead time; ELS names only the family, and the tier is confirmed with the quotation.
| Item | ALUMAX family | Tier | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe wall | Wardrobes | To be confirmed | Quotation required |
| Bed, bedside lamp and picture | No product matched yet; no brand or code is named | Not set | Not matched yet |
- Floor finish: ELS Source (materials) · ELS+ (installation)
- Curtains, sheers and tracks: ELS Source (materials) · installation as named in your quotation
ELS Source is a related specialist supply service. Suitable alternatives may be used if they meet the specification. Supply is subject to suitability and quotation. Nothing is sent from this page.
An ELS+ proposal states what it supplies, and can include the material, sourced internally through ELS Source, under one accountable lead. To buy the material on its own, ask ELS Source directly.
Budget summary
This lists what is in scope, what is still to be measured and what ALUMAX's quotation will price. It shows no ringgit amount and no total.
Evidence status: concept only. Nothing is built, measured or quoted.
Scope
- A wardrobe wall with sliding doors and a fitted interior.
- A floor finish and the curtains, if the concept is taken forward.
Quantities
- Wardrobe wall, width and height: To be measured on site
- Sliding panels, count and width: To be measured on site
- Interior fittings: rails, shelves and drawers, count: To be measured on site
- Floor area: To be measured on site
- Curtain track length: To be measured on site
Assumptions
- A concept with no site: the layout is the concept render's, and nothing is measured.
- The bed, the bedside lamp and the picture are shown for scale and are not part of the scope.
