Corner Wardrobe Dimensions: Every Limit, Explained

We have already written a general guide to the corner wardrobe and a comparison with the classic wardrobe. The question that keeps coming back since then is a very concrete one: what dimensions can the corner unit and its doors actually have? This article lays out the exact numbers the corner configurator works with — so you enter it already knowing what fits your room.

The corner unit's anatomy, briefly

The Téchne corner unit has two elements at the front: the fixed part (the lesene) — a fixed panel made of the same material as the fronts, sitting on the wall side — and the movable door, which opens and hinges off the lesene. You choose the version with the fixed part on the left or on the right, depending on how the wardrobe meets your corner, and continue with regular wardrobe modules along each side.

The key width figures

• The corner unit's total width goes up to 115 cm — including in Beginner mode;
• The fixed part (lesene) adjusts between 22 and 80 cm. The 80 cm cap is a panel transport limit, applied automatically by the configurator; the default value offered is 56 cm;
• The movable door is the difference between the total width and the lesene, and needs at least 22 cm. The configurator couples the two values automatically: as you widen the unit, the door and the lesene adjust themselves so everything stays valid.

The simple rule to remember: a wider lesene means a narrower door at the same total width.

The limits that depend on the front type

Not every front can be manufactured at every size, and on the corner unit these rules apply to the movable door:

• Melamine board: movable door up to 58 cm wide and 275 cm tall;
• Routed MDF: width up to 50 cm, height up to 275 cm;
• Aluminium frame: width between 30 and 58 cm, height up to 220 cm;
• Mirror: width up to 58 cm, height up to 200 cm.

The good news: you do not need to memorise any of this. The configurator checks every rule up front and disables the options that cannot be manufactured at your chosen dimensions, showing the limit right next to the option. If you dream of a mirrored corner door on a 240 cm wardrobe, you will see directly in the list that mirror stops at 200 cm — and you can decide with full information: either lower the height or pick another front type.

Turning the numbers into good decisions

• Measure the short wall first. The lesene sits on the wall side, so its width is your main lever: in a tight corner, a lesene near the minimum leaves room for a generous door;
• Do not shrink the door below real needs. 22 cm is the technical minimum, not the practical recommendation — the corner door is how you reach the clothes on the rail inside, so every extra centimetre is felt daily;
• Go as high as the front allows. With melamine or routed MDF fronts you can rise to 275 cm and use the top zone for seasonal storage;
• Keep the standard depth of roughly 60 cm on both sides, so hangers can rotate freely through the corner zone.

Inside, the corner unit has its own dedicated equipment: standard clothes rails — chrome or black — which can be stacked vertically, a pull-out rail in the door zone, and repositionable shelves across the full height.

Check everything in your own room

Once the corner is configured at the right dimensions, move it into the Room Planner: set up the room at its real size, place the wardrobe in the corner, and instantly see whether the movable door can swing open next to the window, radiator or room door. The price recalculates with every change, and the limits above work quietly in the background, so that any configuration reaching the cart is one that can actually be manufactured — and delivered. As always, configurable furniture comes with a 5-year commercial warranty.
