Rejig Bulkhead cupboard

I have a bulkhead cupboard in a bedroom used as a wardrobe. Its about 1m by 1m. Its a massive space so want to see if it can be rejigged without having to knock it down.
Essentially I want to know if its possible to cut a hole out of the side of the cupboard and insert shelving accessible from the outside.

"its possible, but without any pictures it is hard to say weather it can be done in situe or weather it needs to be dismantled."

"You can have shelves installed without cutting holes in the side with the door and walls of the cupboard being unaltered.

Ask a handy man or joiner to quote for you.

Hope this helps"

"Agree with BT carpentry, it is possible to install shelves without cutting a hole, but a picture would provide more clarity and allow better understanding of the requirements.

I assume you would like to access it from the side for convenience?"
