Three Compartments and Two Drawers
The drawer version of the 150cm Cairns is divided differently from the standard model. Rather than a wide compartment and a narrow one, it splits into three equal 50cm sections — 47.5cm of usable width each — with the two drawers built into the centre.
Three narrower columns is a deliberately different approach to storage, and for a lot of people it is the better one. Instead of one large space where everything mixes, you get three defined areas: shirts in one, everyday clothes in another, coats and jackets in the third. Nothing gets buried behind anything else, and every compartment carries two adjustable wooden shelves and a metal hanging rail of its own.
The drawers sit beneath the centre door, built into the carcase rather than added as an afterthought. They take the small folded items that would otherwise be piled on a shelf — underwear, socks, accessories — and for many bedrooms that removes the need for a separate chest of drawers entirely. On a 150cm footprint, that is a meaningful amount of floor space returned to the room.
All three compartments are height-adjustable throughout, so the balance between hanging and folded storage is yours to set section by section.
The Mirror Option
A mirror panel is available on the centre door, inset into the upper section above the drawers rather than running the full height. The placement is deliberate — it sits at the right level for checking an outfit, and the band of colour around it keeps the wardrobe reading as furniture rather than as a mirrored front.
On a 150cm wardrobe that restraint is the right call. A full-height mirror on a three-door front of this width would dominate the piece; a single inset panel gives you a usable mirror and a focal point without the wardrobe becoming reflective wall.
Five Colours, Including Sage Green
Cairns comes in five finishes, and one of them is unusual enough to be the reason people choose this range.
Sage Green is a soft, muted green with grey in it — closer to a heritage paint colour than anything you would normally find on a German wardrobe, where the palette is almost always white, grey or oak. It is a genuinely difficult colour to buy in bedroom furniture at this level, and it works where a neutral would feel flat: alongside natural linen, brass fittings, patterned wallpaper or a period room where white looks too modern.
White is the brightest and most adaptable, and the safest choice for a smaller room. Pebble Grey is a warm mid grey — softer than a cool grey and easier to live with over time. Champagne is a pale, faintly golden neutral, warmer than grey and softer than white. Graphite is a deep near-black, the boldest of the five, best against pale walls and flooring.
The carcase matches the doors on all five, so the wardrobe reads as one finish rather than coloured fronts on a white box.
Cornice or Passepartout – What's the Difference?
Cairns comes with a cornice as standard, and you can swap it for a Passepartout frame instead.
A cornice is a decorative moulded top section fitted above the wardrobe. It finishes the unit off and gives a more traditional, furnished appearance — the same idea as the cornice on a fitted kitchen. The wardrobe still stands freestanding with a gap above and down each side.
A Passepartout frame surrounds the wardrobe across the top and down both sides, closing the gap between the furniture and the room. The result is a built-in appearance: no daylight above, no shadow line at the edges, and no dust shelf forming on top.
The practical difference is the width. With the cornice the wardrobe is 150cm wide and 220cm high. With the Passepartout frame it is 156cm wide and 220cm high — the frame adds 3cm to each side. If you are fitting into an alcove or a measured space, that 6cm matters and needs checking before you choose.
Doors, Drawers and Handles
All three doors have soft-close cushioned hinges and open to 95°, wider than the usual 90° — enough that the door clears the opening completely and you can pull a drawer or a basket straight out without the door edge in the way. On a wardrobe with narrower compartments that extra clearance is worth having.
Handles are horizontal metal bars in a choice of Silver or Slate, used on both the doors and the drawer fronts so the whole front reads consistently. Silver is the quieter option on the paler finishes; Slate is darker and more contemporary, and works particularly well on Sage Green and Graphite.
The Rest of the Cairns Range
Cairns is produced across seven widths, with drawer versions available in several of them.
Matching bedside cabinets, chests of drawers and mirrors are available from the same collection.
Construction and Guarantee
Cairns is built from wood-based panels with a hardboard back, engineered wood shelves and metal rails and hinges. It is Made in Germany, ISO 9001 certified and carries Germany's Golden M quality mark — an independent furniture quality certification rather than a manufacturer's own claim. Wiemann provide a 2-year manufacturer guarantee covering materials and workmanship under normal residential use.
Installation needs 3–5cm of clearance at each side and above, which is considerably less than many German wardrobes require.

FAQs
How is the wardrobe divided inside?
Into three equal compartments of 50cm, with 47.5cm of usable width each. Every compartment has two adjustable wooden shelves and a metal hanging rail, and the two drawers sit in the centre section.
How does that differ from the version without drawers?
The standard 150cm Cairns divides into a 100cm and a 50cm compartment. This one splits into three equal 50cm sections instead, which gives three defined columns rather than one large space and one narrow one — and the drawers are built into the middle.
Where are the drawers?
Beneath the centre door, built into the carcase. They take the small folded items that would otherwise be piled on a shelf, and for many bedrooms remove the need for a separate chest of drawers.
How is the mirror arranged?
A single mirror panel inset into the upper section of the centre door, above the drawers. It sits at the right level for checking an outfit, and the band of colour around it keeps the wardrobe reading as furniture rather than as a mirrored front.
What colours does it come in?
Five: White, Pebble Grey, Champagne, Graphite and Sage Green. The carcase matches the doors on all of them.
What is Sage Green like?
A soft, muted green with grey in it — closer to a heritage paint colour than anything usually found on German bedroom furniture. It suits rooms built around natural linen, brass fittings or period detailing, where a plain neutral would feel flat.
Does the Passepartout frame change the size?
Yes. With the cornice the wardrobe is 150cm wide; with the Passepartout frame it is 156cm, since the frame adds 3cm to each side. Both are 220cm high and 58cm deep. Check the width before choosing if you are fitting into a measured space.
What is the difference between the cornice and the Passepartout frame?
A cornice is a decorative top section fitted above the wardrobe, giving a more traditional finished appearance. A Passepartout frame surrounds the wardrobe across the top and down both sides, closing the gap to the room so the wardrobe looks built in rather than freestanding.
How far do the doors open?
95°, wider than the usual 90° — enough that the door clears the opening completely, which is worth having on a wardrobe with narrower compartments. All three doors have soft-close cushioned hinges.
Which handle should I choose?
Silver is the quieter option on the paler finishes. Slate is darker and more contemporary, and works particularly well on Sage Green and Graphite. The same handle is used on the doors and the drawers.
How much space do I need to install it?
3–5cm of clearance at each side and above, considerably less than many German wardrobes require. Remember to allow the extra 6cm of width if you choose the Passepartout frame.
Is it available in other sizes?
Yes. Cairns runs from a 2 door at 100cm up to an 8 door at 400cm, with drawer versions available in several widths.
What guarantee does it come with?
Wiemann provide a 2-year manufacturer guarantee covering materials and workmanship under normal residential use.
What delivery options are available?
Free delivery is included. Our professional assembly service is available at additional cost, where our fitters build the wardrobe in your chosen room.
How long will it take to arrive?
Dispatch is 8 to 10 weeks. This is a dispatch timeframe rather than a delivery date: the wardrobe is built to your specification in Germany and then shipped to the UK.
Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order by Wiemann to your selected specification, so once the order has been processed it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected options carefully before ordering.
How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
