The width of the wardrobe depends on the size of the room.

Such a thing should be purchased for specific measurements, otherwise it will be impossible to install it correctly.

  • Ideally, the minimum width of the wardrobe will be 80 centimeters. This is the most correct indicator, which takes into account the minimum door size for such furniture - 40 cm.

But for practical use, they are produced with a width of no more than 6 meters. This is directly related to the specifics of the premises in which the purchased goods are going to be located.

Depending on how deep the wardrobe should be, it is worth measuring the dimensions of the future installation site and writing a list with data, according to which it will be much easier to create a custom-made wardrobe.

measurements of the room for the cabinet
Before purchasing a cabinet, you should measure the room in which it will stand.

It is worth paying attention to the presence of sockets, heating equipment, switches, etc. at the installation site. What will be the contents of the shelves, how many shelves are needed for it, a small or large distance from the door, a mirrored or ordinary door.

cabinet selection options
It is necessary to take into account many parameters that can affect the usability of the cabinet.

Example: If you are purchasing furniture for a children's bedroom, make sure that the upper shelves are accessible for the child.
