We have the attached room and would like to build it into a walk-in linen closet / storage room.
Unfortunately we're struggling to figure out how to build it out given the awkward window positioning about 1.4m from the ground.
Grateful for any ideas anyone has on using this space for that purpose most efficiently.
The door which is not shown on the plan is in the 0.89m entryway at the bottom-left of the plan.

What is on the outside of the window? Do you want to be able to see your towels from outside? I would blank the window from the inside irrespective of how you lay the room out - otherwise you are (in my opinion) compromising both the view in and the room layout. I would put 450mm wide shelves on top and bottom wall, and out to 600 on the RHS wall. Walkway width would be ~750mm which could be ok. You are limited by what you can fit through the door and get around the corner so my initial thought is 750mm would be fine. If 750mm isn't enough, I'd put 600 deep shelves on top and RHS wall, then have hanging or wall mounted on the bottom wall. Electrical just got back to me and said the most they can provide is a single power point on the Bedroom 1 side of that wall.
