Fitting a wardrobe in the place after removing a partition wall

[Remake]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and looking for some advice. I’m planning to remove a non-load-bearing partition wall between my bathroom and bedroom to create a storage area without taking up space in the bedroom. The bathroom is dated and spacious enough to lose a bit of room to fit a built-in wardrobe in the newly expanded area. Where to start? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping out!

I don't know what foxhole's on about but do you have any specific questions, your post is a bit vague.

Odours and damp spreading around?

If the bathroom is too big, why don’t you move the wall to accommodate the wardrobe

You still need a wall on the bathroom side, or at least something to put plasterboard on for painting.

I suppose if you are having a wardrobe the whole width you could make the back of the wardrobe out of 2 layers of 18mm plywood, to which you could screw plasterboard

good point about odours and damp. I would defo consider whether is worth it... Actually, the bathroom is not too big, its just about to take 40 cm (including the thickness of the existing wall) to fit a regular Ikea wardrobe of 58cm depth. Thanks

Op wants to replace a partition wall with a wardrobe . Which will quickly get damp in winter and promote a mouldy rear to the wardrobe .

Err well yes that is bonkers, I naively assumed they meant take down the wall and rebuild it further into the bathroom.
