Standard stuffing set
Regardless of the location and size, there is a basic set of internal filling of the wardrobe, it includes:
- A pantograph is a bar for clothes on hangers, but not a simple one, but with a downward mechanism. A pen will help you get to the right thing. Due to this technique, it is possible to make the most of the space at the top;
- mesh baskets or shelves. You can store anything in them, from bed linen to shirts. Their material is plastic or metal. Key advantage: things are ventilated, and it is easy to find what you need, because there is a complete overview of the contents from all sides;
- a regular bar, for clothes on a coat hanger;
- Hangers for clothes that don’t wrinkle. These are designed for outerwear that is hung on a hook;
- Pants holders. They have a retractable mechanism;
- baskets for storing small items on rails. They are located one above the other in several levels;
- regular and/or pull-out shelves.
With such a basic set, ready-made cabinets are completed, but if there are special requirements for placing things inside, it is worth ordering the internal filling of the wardrobe individually.
Planning the wardrobe space
When ordering filling on an individual basis, you should know that the cabinet is conditionally divided into 3 zones:
- Lower. It stores shoes.
- The middle one contains the main part of the wardrobe, there are pantographs, rods, and shelves with drawers.
- Top. It is recommended to use it for storing things that are rarely used.
The layout of the closet depends on the number of doors, because each storage must be easily accessible. So, if there are 2 doors, then there should be the same number of sections.
Advice! Doors wider than 1 meter will be inconvenient, and for such doors you need to add several compartments.
The bar for clothes can be different, but 90 cm is considered the most convenient solution. At the shelves, this parameter is 60 cm. At the same time, the convenience of removing clothes is important. For clothes, the dimensions of the shelf opening should be within 35 … 40 cm. Short clothes on hangers will require an opening 0.8-1m high, if you plan to hang outerwear, coats, for example, then at least 1.5-1.6m
Advice! An accurate calculation of the opening can be made by adding 20 cm to the length of the clothes.
More planning tips:
- The upper tier should be made up to 60 cm high.
- It is not recommended to make shelves more than 60 cm deep, because then the folded things will need to be placed in 2 rows, and when you remove the right one from the second row, everything in front of it will fall down. This can be avoided by using voluminous mesh boxes.
- A drawer is suitable for underwear and socks.
- When choosing any retractable system, you need to consider that it should not interfere with the closing of the doors. To do this, the handles on them must be recessed or cut out on the pediment.
- The rails on drawers and shelves are essential. Cheaper roller ones can only be opened halfway, which means that it will not be possible to have access to the entire usable volume. The best solution is guides with closers – they have a smooth ride, quietly slide out and fall into place on their own.
Filling corner, built-in and radius cabinets
It is easier to fill a sliding wardrobe, which stands in one line, with internal shelves, rods and drawers. But with corner, built-in and radius, things are a little different.
The shape of such cabinets can be triangular, trapezoidal or diagonal. With their help, you can use the space in the corner, and conveniently. After all, no other furniture will go there.
The specifics of its content is that it is more difficult to provide access to all corners. Options for the internal filling of the corner wardrobe:
- in the middle you can place clothes hangers or hanger bars;
- The sides are equipped with shelves or drawers. The left and right parts can be the same in content or different. It depends on the type of clothes that will be stored in the closet;
- corner cabinets also have mezzanines at the very top, and the bottom space is filled with mesh shelves (for shoes) or space is left for storing overall items.
Radius is drawn by analogy with the corner. Since it is most often located also in the corner of the room. Its peculiarity is that the doors have non-standard concave or even wavy shapes.
A built-in wardrobe is as easy to fill as a cabinet one. It has no walls, ceiling or floor. All compartments are assembled like a designer and invested in a niche. It is better to plan ordinary rods in this, because they will create an additional stiffener, which the design may lack. When arranging shelves and drawers on rails, you need to take into account that fastening to the wall and the wall of the compartment can be problematic, because the walls are most often brick, and the cabinet material is fiberboard.
Output
When choosing the internal content of a wardrobe, you need to take into account a number of factors: its size, the number of doors, the type of things that will be stored in it. It is more convenient to plan the filling of a two- and three-door cabinet. In pursuit of spaciousness, one should not forget about convenience. A closet that is too deep (more than 60 cm) will not be fully used, because there will be no normal access to things.
