The Corner Problem, Solved
Every bedroom has a corner that does nothing. A standard wardrobe against one wall leaves the return wall unusable; two wardrobes meeting at right angles leave a dead void where they join, and one of them blocks the other. Lema is built for exactly that space, and it turns the least useful part of the room into roughly 3.6 cubic metres of storage.
What makes it work is the way the doors open. All four slide from the centre outwards, so the corner itself opens up rather than being hidden behind a door — a panoramic opening that gives you sight of the whole interior at once. On a conventional corner unit the corner is where things go to be forgotten; here it is the part you can actually see into.
Because the doors slide, no floor space is lost in front of them. In a corner — where two walls already limit how you move around the room — that matters more than it would along a single wall.
Oak and Mirror
The two outer doors are oak; the two inner doors, meeting at the corner, are mirrored. It is the right arrangement for a corner wardrobe, and not simply for the look.
A corner is the darkest part of any room. Two mirrored doors set into that corner throw light back into the space and open up the angle visually, so a piece of furniture that could easily feel heavy in a tight corner instead makes the room feel larger. The oak on the outer doors keeps the whole thing warm and stops it reading as a mirrored box.
Artisan Oak is the more characterful of the two finishes — a mid-toned oak effect with pronounced grain and knot detail, warm and textural. Sonoma Oak is lighter and more uniform, a paler oak with a subtler grain that suits a brighter, more contemporary room.
Each door carries four horizontal panels, following the Rauch Quadra design, with fine lines running across both the oak and the mirrored doors so the front reads as one composition rather than two materials side by side.
Handles
Aluminium handles are the standard option — a clean brushed metal that sits quietly against both oak finishes. Carcase-colour handles, finished to match the wardrobe itself, are available at additional cost and give the more premium result: the handles disappear into the door, leaving the oak grain and the mirror as the only elements on the front. On a wardrobe where the doors are the whole design, that restraint is worth the difference.
Inside
The interior divides into four compartments: 65.6cm, 115.8cm, 110.4cm and 65.6cm.
The two 65.6cm sections at the outer ends are conventional hanging compartments, each with two storage shelves and a clothes rail — one at the end of each wing.
The two large corner sections are fitted with four corner shelves, shaped to use the angle itself rather than wasting it. This is the part most corner wardrobes get wrong: a square shelf in a corner leaves an unreachable triangle behind it. These are made for the shape.
The full standard specification is two clothes rails, four storage shelves, four corner shelves, four sliding door dampers, and an integrated levelling feature — useful on an older floor, since a corner unit sits across two walls and any slope shows up immediately in the door alignment.
An interior drawer unit is available as an optional extra: three drawers in a 43 × 57 × 45cm unit, which can be fitted into either of the 65.6cm sections. It is worth considering, since a corner wardrobe otherwise offers only hanging and shelving.
Measuring Up
The two wings are not the same length: one measures 187cm and the other 182cm, both at 54cm deep. When you order you choose which wall takes the longer wing, so measure both walls out from the corner before deciding.
Two heights are available — 210cm for a standard modern ceiling, or 229cm where you have the height and want the extra storage above.
The base plinth is always supplied in Silk Grey. Beneath an oak door that is visible at floor level — a deliberate design decision by Rauch rather than an omission.
We would recommend adding the assembly service on this model. A corner wardrobe is considerably more involved to build than a straight one: two carcases have to meet squarely at the corner, the sliding tracks must align across both wings, and the levelling has to be set before the doors are hung. It is not a difficult build for a professional fitter, but it is not a straightforward flat-pack either.
Extending the Wardrobe
Lema is designed to be built on. A Lema sliding wardrobe can be added to either wing, or a hinged model alongside, to run storage further along one or both walls. If you are planning a full wall of storage around a corner, contact us and we will work out the combination with you.
Other Finishes
The same corner wardrobe is produced in oak without mirrors, and in décor and glass finishes: décor with mirror or décor in White, Champagne, Silk Grey and Metallic Grey, and glass with mirror or glass in White, Champagne, Silk Grey and Basalt.
Lema is 100% Made in Germany and carries both the Blue Angel and the Golden M — Blue Angel being an independently verified low-emission certification, which is worth having on a large piece of furniture in a room you sleep in. It is backed by a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.

FAQs
How much space do I need?
One wing is 187cm long and the other 182cm, both 54cm deep. You choose which wall takes the longer wing when you order, so measure both walls out from the corner before deciding.
Which doors are mirrored?
The two inner doors, meeting at the corner. The two outer doors are oak. Mirrors in the corner throw light back into what is usually the darkest part of the room and open up the angle visually.
How do the doors open?
All four slide from the centre outwards, giving a panoramic opening across the corner rather than hiding it behind a door. Nothing swings into the room, so no floor space is lost.
What is inside?
Four compartments of 65.6cm, 115.8cm, 110.4cm and 65.6cm. The two 65.6cm end sections each have two storage shelves and a clothes rail; the two large corner sections are fitted with four corner shelves shaped to use the angle. Four sliding door dampers and a levelling feature are included as standard.
Can I add drawers?
Yes. An interior drawer unit with three drawers (43 × 57 × 45cm) is available as an optional extra and can be fitted into either 65.6cm section. Worth considering, as the wardrobe otherwise offers only hanging and shelving.
Which handle should I choose?
Aluminium is the standard option, a clean brushed metal that sits quietly against oak. Carcase-colour handles cost more but give the more premium result – they disappear into the door, leaving the oak grain and the mirror as the only elements on the front.
What is the difference between Artisan Oak and Sonoma Oak?
Artisan Oak is the more characterful – a mid-toned oak effect with pronounced grain and knot detail. Sonoma Oak is lighter and more uniform, with a subtler grain that suits a brighter, more contemporary room.
Which height should I choose?
210cm suits a standard modern ceiling. 229cm gives noticeably more storage above but needs the ceiling height to take it – measure before choosing, and allow room to raise the carcase into position during assembly.
Should I book the assembly service?
We would recommend it on this model. Two carcases have to meet squarely at the corner, the sliding tracks must align across both wings, and the levelling has to be set before the doors are hung – considerably more involved than a straight wardrobe.
What colour is the base plinth?
Silk Grey, on every finish. Beneath an oak door it is visible at floor level. It is a design feature of the range rather than a fault or a variation.
Can it be extended?
Yes. Lema sliding or hinged wardrobes can be added to either wing to run storage further along the wall. Contact us and we will work out the combination with you.
Is it available without mirrors?
Yes. The same wardrobe is produced in oak with all four doors in décor, and in décor and glass finishes in a range of colours.
What guarantee does it come with?
Rauch provide a 10-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, subject to their warranty terms.
How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
