Walk in Robes & Build in Robes

In the master bedroom, the is a lot of wardrobe space. However in the second bedroom the wardrobe space is tiny. So I have two conflicting if only cancelling dilemmas, how to include wardrobe space in the second bedroom and how to use the space in the master bedroom.

In the second bedroom, I have a double door wardrobe. To increase the hanging space, I want to add a second rod to one half of the wardrobe and in the other half I want to add a four drawer (2 level stack) unit. The top of the drawer unit will also act as shelf for the wardrobe.
Measurements:
Total Cabinet: 148cm Width, 47cm Depth, height 158cm (only hanging space)
Rod length: 74 cm to be hung at a height of 78cm from ground
Drawer units: 74cm width, 47 deep and 50cm height (Ikea Malm 2 drawer unit x 2 $99 x 2) Kullen drawer unit $35 x 2

In the Master Bedroom
BIR:
The same solution as the second bedroom but with different dimensions.
Dimensions
Rod length: 88-90 cm to be hung at a height of 78cm from ground (Ikea Complement add on clothes rail $15-$30)
Drawer units: 80cm width, 47 deep and 57cm height (Ikea Malm 2 drawer unit x 2 $99 x 2)

In the Walk in robes:
I would like to keep the drawers but paint them white and add a black trim border as per the inspiration


Would have also like to add trim to the wall and add bevelled mirrors; however this will not maximize the space in the WIR. I would like to use the WIR like a dressing room, for all accessories and hanging second day clothes.

On the right wall to install a wall to top shelf shoe rack, on the right to keep the drawer unit; on top of it to now have a bag display shelf. To shorten the rod on the end wall to end at the start of the drawers. And under that to place like a trunk.

Measurements:
Shoe rack will be 94cm wide , 30cm deep and 197cm high
height for boots 40cm
height for shoes 20cm
height for sandles 15cm
7-8 shelf (2 boots, 5 shoes 1 sandle)

Bag rack will be 147cm wide, 30cm deep and 74cm high
height for each bag maybe 30cm

Ikea to buy premade besta shelfs 1 x $169 + 1 x $69 = $220
Ikby Shelfs 119cm about $25 $175-$200
Ikby $11 shelf 75cm
