10 things you must know about bespoke wardrobe design
A good wardrobe design will make use of every inch of space available for frequently worn clothing, shoes, bags, bedding, etc., as well as out-of-season clothing that needs to be stored away. As well as out-of-season clothes that need to be stored away, they all need to be divided up well so they don’t go to waste. Sometimes it takes a long time to find a suitable piece of clothing when you open the wardrobe, and this is where the wardrobe is not designed properly.
The design of a wardrobe should take into account the following points.
①Wardrobe size
In a house, wardrobe can do as much as possible to store a lot of clothes to make the home clean and tidy, but there are also houses with a relatively small area, which requires reasonable planning. It is particularly important to know the size and parameters of the wardrobe before planning.
There are four types of wardrobe openers.
The first is a flat door, flat door wardrobe depth can be done 500-600mm, at the same time we have to take into account the open door put type is to open the radius, so the bedroom spacing has certain requirements, put down the bed to consider whether the cabinet door can be opened, at the same time to pay attention to the width of the cabinet door in 450-600mm for the best, the door is too wide too heavy on the hinges of the damage is also relatively large.
The second is the sliding door, wardrobe to do sliding door case to consider the double door to do track to take up part of the space, so the minimum width to do 600mm. door width in 600-800mm for the best. Sliding door because there is no open radius, so for small size of the bedroom is relatively space-saving.
The third is the folding door, folding doors only need a single track so the depth of the cabinet can be done 550-600mm, more space-saving, while folding doors can be designed into the bifold, the door opening radius requirements are relatively small, so can also be used in the small space bedroom. However, it is important to note that the hinges of the folding door slide rail and other hardware as good as possible. The advantage of folding doors is that they take up little space, and the doors open up a lot of space.
The fourth is open wardrobe, open wardrobe also called doorless wardrobe is generally used in the wardrobe room, luxury atmosphere to become part of the decoration, but there is a disadvantage is easy to dust, doorless wardrobe size can be done 450-600mm, is also relatively space-saving.

②Hanging area
Suits, stiff shirts, jackets, coats and other large pieces of clothing, material stiff clothing to choose to hang, this material of clothing if folded up storage is not good, but will take up more space, while clothing will have creases. The general height of the upper clothing area is 1000-1200mm. the height of the long clothing area is 1400-1700mm, used to hang coats, trench coats, etc.. (Hanging clothes with the hem about 8cm from the bottom is best)
③ Trouser rack
The height of the trouser drawer is 80-100mm and the height of the hanging space should not be less than 600mm. Try not to choose a vertical trouser rack, as this will hang too few trousers and up to a dozen or so in a compartment, which is too much space wasted. Try to choose a horizontal retractable trouser rack, you can hang more than two rows in one compartment, so that the number of trousers can be doubled, in addition, we recommend a super useful retractable multi-functional multi-layer trouser rack, this trouser rack can be unfolded to hang flat or folded up five trousers to hang a rack, so that a compartment can be hung to more than 60 trousers, very good, saving a lot of space, so that the trousers You don’t have to fold them up and have creases.
④Stacking area
The height spacing of the stacking area should not be too high, the spacing between the layers should be controlled at a height of 350-500mm. The partitions should not be fixed, but should be set up as removable panels to increase the flexibility of storage. It is also recommended that some good storage compartments can be put in place, with each folded piece of clothing separated separately to make it easy to pick up and at the same time neatly store clothes. Otherwise, taking a piece of clothing from underneath a stack will mess up your wardrobe.
⑤ Bedding area
The bedding area is not often used and is a space for storing out-of-season bedding, so it is generally placed at the top of the wardrobe for storage.
6) Drawers
Generally speaking, drawers are not easy to place too low, especially in wardrobe design for the elderly, it is not convenient to bend down to get the items in the drawers.
(vii) Grid drawer
For storing ties, belts, underwear, socks and other small items. The height of the single compartment is 80-100mm.
(8) Mirror
If you want to look beautiful in the mirror after getting dressed, you can put a folding mirror in the wardrobe and pull it out when you need to use it. This way you no longer have to run to the bathroom accessories to look in the mirror when changing clothes, which is practical.
⑨ Recommended small items
A drawer organiser, which is cheap to buy online, is a convenient and practical way to store your underwear, socks and other intimate clothing, separate from the rest of your clothes and keep them clean and tidy.
⑩The interior of the wardrobe is rather dark
Even if you turn on the bedroom light, it’s hard to see clearly when you’re looking for clothes in the wardrobe. Make a sensor light strip underneath the wardrobe interior partition, which will automatically light up when you open the door. This can see clearly the items in the wardrobe, while increasing the class.
