Wardrobe as the strongest presence in the bedroom furniture, its storage space is really the most important in the home design. Once it is not planned rationally, it will affect the beauty, but also a waste of bedroom space.

When many people customize their wardrobe, they don't know how the wardrobe should be laid out. If the layout is unreasonable, the inside of the wardrobe will become very messy. When they look for clothes, they may cannot find it. So here is Axcellent to summarize the best layout plan for your wardrobe, we believe it will be helpful to you.

The Overall Layout of the Wardrobe

The most basic layout of a perfect closet needs to have: bedding area, hanging area, stacking area, trouser hanging area, drawer area and flexible area. For the wardrobe, the two most important points are the regional division and flexible space. Only a reasonably partitioned wardrobe can better meet everyone's storage needs. And the flexible space is actually to be able to better store bags, ties, accessories and other trivial items to reduce the waste of space.

The Skills of Internal Layout of the Wardrobe

1. Bedding Area

Generally we will make a row of partitions at the top of the wardrobe, due to the high position, this place is used to place bedding and infrequently used clothing, etc., which is conducive to moisture control. According to the usual height of quilts, this area is usually 400-500mm high and 900mm wide.

2. Hanging Area

Hanging area is mainly used to store the frequently worn clothes, and some of the more expensive clothes. About the seasonal clothing, the frequency of access is relatively high, if stacked, it is not convenient. It is very easy to take if hanging.

3. Blouse Area

This area can be used to hang suits, shirts, jackets and other blouses that are easy to wrinkle. According to the normal length of the clothes, this area should be 1000-1200mm high. In order to make the clothes not dragged to the bottom of the panel, the distance between the hanging rod and the bottom panel should be more than 900mm.

4. Long Clothes Area

Generally the family will need the long clothes area. Long clothes area mainly put trench coats, dresses and other long clothes. In general, the space of the long clothes area does not need to be very large. However, if there are more long clothes, it still needs to be expanded according to the actual situation. The general height of this area is 1400-1500mm, no less than 1300mm.

5. Stacking area

This area can be designed as an adjustable movable panel layer, mainly for stacking sweaters, T-shirts, casual pants and other clothing. It can also be changed in height or to other areas according to demand.

The most suitable height is between the waist and eyes, because it will be more convenient to pick up clothes in this space range. In general, the recommended size is between 330~400mm in width, 350mm in height and above, and the distance between the upper and lower partitions is between 400~600mm, which is convenient.

6. Trouser Hanging Area

Trouser rack is specially used for hanging pants, and it can store a lot of pants, which do not need to fold up. With trouser rack, pants will not be easy to wrinkle. Also it’s very convenient to take it.

The height of the trouser hanging area does not need to be too high, generally 800-900cm high, 400-500cm wide.

7. Drawer Cabinet

Drawers can be designed in different sizes and styles to store items such as underwear, socks and ties, as well as bags, jewelry, glasses and other decorative items. In this way, the storage capacity will be greatly enhanced.

8. Flexible Space

The so-called flexible space is actually the temporary role of space, which can be paired with storage boxes to store trivial items. And it is more convenient and can be adjusted according to your daily needs.

Zoning Recommendations According to the User's Living Habits

1. The space above 1.85m belongs to the low frequency storage area which is not easy to get, so it is recommended to design the area for seasonal bedding.

2. Between 0.65-1.85m, it belongs to the area where users can easily place clothes without bending down, and it is a high-frequency use area, so we can design the hanging area and stacking area to place seasonal clothes.

3. The space below 0.65m can be designed with drawers to place underwear and socks.

4. With the space of height of about 0.9-1m, the trouser draw area can be designed.

5. The overall depth of the wardrobe is recommended to be designed at about 0.55-0.6m.

The design of the wardrobe partition is still recommended to be adjusted with the owner's living habits and family situation.

Wardrobe Internal Planning Recommendations 

Tips 1: Do not design too many partitions, because too many partitions will limit the wardrobe space. This is not only inconvenient to store, but also wastes a lot of space. We can design the partition to put bags and hats, and other small items can be put in drawers or pull-out boxes.

Tips 2: More drawers can be designed according to your needs. It is recommended that instead of using completely fixed drawers, we can use removable organizers instead. This can store intimate clothing, socks and silk scarves and other small items, which is flexible and convenient!

Tips 3: The hanging rod design of hanging area should be reasonable, and the distance between hanging rod the top of the cabinet should be greater than 60mm, so that it is convenient to pick up the hanger. And, the distance from the hanging rod to the ground should be less than 1800mm, because it’s inconvenient to pick up clothes if less than this height.
