what is the kind of thing you're looking at?
Ikea PAX have a shallower version, but still 38cm - they can use these internal rails to hang stuff front-to-back as opposed to left-to-right that would only fit in the deeper units (58cm).

Cheers, back to front hanging is an option but seems like a lot of space for not hat much.
We'll be getting someone to make them so we're pretty free with what to go for, just trying to work out how to maximise the space. We have a big Pax one in another room and the crooked walls and floor make it look a bit crap.

We're planning on getting some alcove cupboards in our bedroom but trying to work out dimensions/usability.
Looking at this kind of thing
Ideally would like to be able to hang clothes in it but that would mean a 55-60cm depth. Chimney breast is only ~ 25cm so that would leave it protruding a fair bit. Also undecided what to do in the way of drawers, shelves, rails, etc. Pondering a tall section to put the ironing board in but not sure if that would be a bit of a waste of space.
Anyone done similar and have some wisdom to impart?
