Three Metres, Three Equal Compartments
At 300cm this is the largest wardrobe in the Cairns range, and the interior divides into three equal compartments of 100cm rather than a handful of narrow sections. Each has two adjustable wooden shelves and a metal hanging rail of its own.
Three compartments of that width is a genuinely generous arrangement. Two people sharing can take one each with the third given over to bedding, luggage or out-of-season clothing, and none of the three is a compromise — every section is a full 100cm with proper hanging space and shelving above.
Two shelves per compartment is more than most wardrobes offer, and because they adjust, the balance between hanging and folded storage is yours to set section by section. Further interior options are available if you want to build it out: extra shelves, drawers, pull-out rails and LED lighting.
Five Colours, Including Sage Green
Cairns comes in five finishes, and at three metres the choice matters more than at any smaller width — a wardrobe this wide sets the tone of the room whether you intend it to or not.
White is the finish that lets you have this much storage without the room paying for it. Three metres of white reads as wall rather than furniture, and the eye passes over it.
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. At this width it becomes the defining element of the bedroom, and because it remains fundamentally a soft neutral rather than a strong colour, that works where a bolder shade would overwhelm.
Pebble Grey is a warm mid grey — softer than a cool grey, and the safest of the five at this size. Champagne is a pale, faintly golden neutral that fills the wall while keeping the space warm. Graphite is a deep near-black and the boldest by some distance; across three metres it defines the room entirely, so it needs white or off-white walls, pale flooring and light to spare.
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. On a wardrobe this size the choice is more consequential than on any smaller model.
A cornice is a decorative moulded top section fitted above the wardrobe. It finishes the unit off, adds 4cm to the height and gives a more traditional, furnished appearance. 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. At three metres this is the difference between a fitted wall of storage and a very large piece of furniture standing against a wall — and on a unit that occupies most of a bedroom wall, that distinction is the whole impression the room gives.
The practical difference is the width. With the cornice the wardrobe is 300cm wide and 220cm high. With the Passepartout frame it is 306cm wide and 220cm high — the frame adds 3cm to each side. At this size the wall is rarely generous, so measure the full run carefully before choosing, including skirting boards, radiators and any point where the wall is not perfectly square.
The Mirror Option
Mirror panels are available on the doors, positioned deliberately: sections at the top and bottom of the door rather than one continuous panel. The lower mirror sits at the right height for shoes and hems, the upper for checking an outfit from the waist up, and the band of colour between them breaks up the reflection.
That restraint matters most at this width. Three metres of continuous mirror would be overwhelming in a bedroom; split panels give you the light and the function without the wardrobe becoming a mirrored wall. On the darker finishes the panels also catch light against the door and give a very large front real definition.
Doors and Handles
All six doors have soft-close cushioned hinges and open to 95°, which is 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. Across six doors in daily use, soft-close is a meaningful difference rather than a specification line.
Handles are horizontal metal bars in a choice of Silver or Slate. Silver is the quieter option on the paler finishes; Slate is darker and more contemporary, and works particularly well on Sage Green and Graphite. Across six doors those horizontal lines give three metres of front a regular rhythm rather than leaving it as a flat expanse.
The Rest of the Cairns Range
Cairns is produced in five widths, and in most of them you can choose a version with drawers built in beneath the centre doors — useful if you would rather not have a separate chest of drawers in the room.
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 — considerably less than many German wardrobes require, and on a three-metre unit that makes a real difference to whether it fits at all.

FAQs
How is the wardrobe divided inside?
Into three equal compartments of 100cm, each with two adjustable wooden shelves and a metal hanging rail. Two people sharing can take one each with the third for bedding, luggage or out-of-season clothing — and none of the three is a compromise.
Is a wardrobe this large right for my room?
At 300cm it needs a substantial run of clear wall, but at 58cm deep the footprint is no greater than a smaller wardrobe — only the width changes. In White or Pebble Grey it carries far less visual weight than Graphite would at this size.
What colours does it come in?
Five: White, Pebble Grey, Champagne, Graphite and Sage Green. The carcase matches the doors on all of them, so the wardrobe reads as one finish rather than coloured fronts on a white box.
Which colour works best at this width?
White is the finish that lets you have three metres of storage without the room feeling smaller. Pebble Grey and Champagne are the safest mid choices. Sage Green becomes the defining colour of the room, though it stays soft enough to work. Graphite is the boldest and needs pale walls, pale flooring and good natural light.
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 is a genuinely difficult colour to buy in a wardrobe of this size.
What is the difference between the cornice and the Passepartout frame?
A cornice is a decorative top section fitted above the wardrobe, adding 4cm to the height. A Passepartout frame surrounds the wardrobe across the top and down both sides, closing the gap to the room. At three metres that is the difference between a fitted wall of storage and a very large piece of furniture standing against a wall.
Does the Passepartout frame change the size?
Yes, and at this width it matters most. With the cornice the wardrobe is 300cm; with the Passepartout frame it is 306cm, since the frame adds 3cm to each side. Both are 220cm high. Measure the full run of wall carefully before choosing.
How is the mirror arranged?
Mirror panels at the top and bottom of the door rather than one continuous panel. At three metres that restraint matters — continuous mirror across this width would be overwhelming, whereas split panels give the light and the function without the wardrobe becoming a mirrored wall.
How far do the doors open?
95°, wider than the usual 90° — enough that the door clears the opening completely and a drawer or basket can be pulled straight out without the door edge in the way. All six 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.
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 — which on a three-metre unit makes a real difference to whether it fits. Remember to allow the extra 6cm of width if you choose the Passepartout frame.
Is there a version with drawers?
Yes, in two configurations at this width: 2 drawers or 4 drawers built in beneath the centre doors.
Is it available in other sizes?
Yes. Cairns is produced as a 3 door at 150cm, a 4 door at 200cm and a 5 door at 250cm.
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. On a wardrobe of this size it is worth considering.
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.
