Why are the sizes of wardrobes different
Sliding wardrobes are very spacious and functional. Thanks to them, you can get rid of the clutter and put a lot of things and shoes in one place. At the same time, the dimensions of such interior items can differ significantly depending on the area of the place where they will be placed.
Many people order such furniture for a specific room, others buy ready-made furniture. The main thing when purchasing such furniture is to know what dimensions are right for you, in the hallway or in the room.
What is the depth of the closet for clothes (what is the minimum and maximum)
It is worth first of all thinking about the optimal roominess.
The depth of the wardrobe may be standard, it is calculated on the basis of some indicators, since the filling of the stored things will depend on this.
The criteria for making a choice:
- Location in various rooms: wardrobe, hallway, bedroom, study, etc.
- The number of items stored: clothes, bedding, shoes, papers, etc.
If we start from the fact that the average length of a human hand is 60 centimeters, then the maximum depth should be no more than 80 centimeters.
Please note: it is impractical to go deeper only 40 centimeters, 10 of them will be used by the guides for the doors.
Hallways are usually equipped with standard furniture, no more than 50 centimeters deep. Moreover, if this is a wardrobe, and the placement of clothes is provided on a hanger, the ideal depth will be 60 cm.
For storage of bedding and things, it is worth choosing from 60 to 70 cm. But if this is a nursery, fifty will be enough.
Its standard dimensions (depth, width, door dimensions)
There is no standard defined by legislation or manufacturers. But you can build on the average size:
- width - from 90 to 240 cm;
- height - 220-240 cm;
- depth - from 45 to 65 cm;
- sliding doors - from 45 to 100 cm.
But everything is very individual. Thanks to new architectural projects that are offered on the housing market, you can order a wardrobe with unique parameters, just for your home.
Distance between shelves in the cabinet
The optimal distance between the shelves will be from 35 to 40 cm. But, of course, it can be changed if desired.
The shelf should serve for convenient filling with things, depending on what items or clothes are stored there, considering options for their parameters and distances between them. Therefore, what will be the distance between the shelves in your closet, it's up to you.
Advice. When purchasing such furniture, the future user should understand how harmoniously it will fit into the interior of the room. As easy as it is, it will be difficult to embed it. To do this, you need to correctly calculate the width, because the "compartment" is large enough and is not suitable for every room.
Sliding wardrobe width
If it is necessary to determine the width of future furniture, it does not matter if it is a small cabinet or a large cabinet.
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.
- The future owner should calculate the maximum width, because in theory it can be done by anyone. Due to the fact that such an item can be assembled from separate sections. 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.
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.
Example: If you are purchasing furniture for a children's bedroom, make sure that the upper shelves are accessible for the child.
In recent years, comfortable, and most importantly, very practical "coupes" have become a real salvation for buyers. Especially if there are a lot of things in the apartment and you want space, the wardrobe will be an excellent solution to put everything on the shelves and free up the area of the room. And an individual order and many professionals who are engaged in the manufacture of such furniture will help you purchase exactly what will be appropriate for the present interior.
