In the alcoves OR go right over he chimney breast with a uniform "wall of doors" you will have a reduce depth in front of the chimney breast but this would be ideas for shoe storage.
Alternatively go for an open "walk-in wardrobe" that is our specialisation.
Building "boxes" (wardrobes) into the alcove will spoil the lines of the room but this is almost unavoidable
