Make Smart Use Of Closet Space, 3 Tips To Get Rid Of Clutter, And Even A Small Closet Can Hold 100 More Items
Every time you open a wardrobe and look at the stuffed clothes but still can't find the item of clothing you want to wear, do you feel particularly irritated? You have indeed spent a lot of money to customize the wardrobe, but it is always difficult to use. Either the grid is too deep and it is troublesome to get things, or the hanging rod is too high to reach. Looking at the pictures of wardrobes on the Internet that are as neat as model rooms, it feels like they are completely different from your own home. In fact, the problem is often not that the wardrobe is not big enough. It's that the internal space has not been scientifically planned and rationally utilized. A truly useful wardrobe does not lie in its huge size, but in its "ability to install" and "ability to install". Today, we will discuss how to get rid of clutter in your wardrobe by optimizing internal dimensions, layout and design, and achieve efficient storage so that you can easily hold the whole family's clothes.
Golden rules for wardrobe interior dimensions
The appropriate size of the wardrobe directly determines the space utilization and convenience of use. Many wardrobes are poorly designed because the size of the internal partitions is not ergonomic and does not meet the size of the clothes. For example, the stacking area is too deep, and the clothes inside are always forgotten. The hanging rod is too high, and every time you take out clothes, it feels like lifting weights. After verification, the following sizing suggestions can help you create a "fitting" wardrobe. It is recommended that the height of the area for hanging shorts should not be lower than 800mm. This way, shirts, T-shirts, and coats will not mop the floor after being hung. The area for hanging long coats should be reserved with a height of no less than 1400mm to ensure that windbreakers and dresses can hang straight down. In the area where drawers are placed, the individual height is preferably between 150mm and 200mm, which is suitable for storing small items such as underwear and socks. The width of the cabinet in the stacking area is controlled at 330-400mm, and its height is no less than 350mm. This size is convenient for clothes to be placed upright and can be seen clearly at a glance. The height of the top space where quilts are stacked shall not be less than 350mm. The specially set up area for hanging pants, the most appropriate height is 700mm to 800mm, which can prevent pants from wrinkles. An important rule to follow is: hang as much as you can. Hanging not only saves you the hassle of folding, it also keeps your clothes straight and makes them easier to find. According to the proportion of your own long clothes, short clothes and trousers, allocate the position and quantity of hanging rods, shelves and drawers, and create a flexible space with adjustable tension for new or reduced clothes in the future.
Scientific zoning: let every piece of clothing have a home
After the size problem was solved, the next question was how to layout it. In view of an efficient wardrobe, clear functional partitions must be done well. If space conditions permit, it can be divided into a bedding area, a long clothing area, a short clothing area, a stacking area, a pants hanging area, and several drawers and storage areas. If bedding and seasonal thick clothing are not used frequently, they can be placed in the bedding area at the top of the wardrobe. Coats and long skirts should be placed specifically in the long clothing area. Sweaters, jeans and other clothes that are not afraid of wrinkles or are suitable for folding are suitable to be placed in the stacking area. The vertical folding method can significantly improve visibility and picking efficiency. Underwear and socks are used every day. They should be designed in a golden area that is parallel to people's eyes and within reach. You can customize drawers or use underwear storage boxes for classification. If you have a small apartment or the wardrobe itself is not large, don’t make too many or too many partitions. The trick is to "leave blank", reduce fixed shelves, and retain large hanging areas and blank spaces. Later, according to actual needs, flexibly add plastic drawers, telescopic partitions and other accessories. This "elastic storage" method is low-cost and can be adjusted at any time. It is extremely practical. Several uniform plastic drawers are placed side by side to store clothing in categories. The appearance is neat and uniform, and the interior is orderly.
A design that fits your habits is a good design
The strategies presented on the Internet are all the same, but the design that best suits you must be derived from your own living situation. Before planning, it is recommended to inventory and classify all the clothing of the season for the whole family, and clearly identify their quantities and categories. This can help you determine the size of each functional area more accurately, and then implement vertical partitioning according to the frequency of daily use. Generally speaking, a wardrobe can be divided into four areas from top to bottom. One is the high area, which is used less frequently and is used to store seasonal bedding and suitcases that are only used every few months. The second is the middle and upper area, which is used at a medium level and is designed as a hanging area to store suits and coats. The third is the middle area, which is used frequently and is used as a prime area. It is used to place underwear that needs to be worn every day, T-shirts and pants that are often worn; finally, there is the bottom area, which has a medium to low frequency of use and can be used to place seasonal clothes or spare bedding. In addition, you have to think about the specific location of the wardrobe in the room. The cabinet door close to the bedside table may be inconvenient to open. Therefore, this corner is suitable for storing items that are not often used. If it is in the middle of the wardrobe, where it can be opened and closed smoothly, it must be reserved for the most frequently worn clothes. A good design must have a reasonable route of movement and conform to the natural behavior of the human body. It will allow you to quickly find what you need and go out calmly even in a busy morning.
Ultimately, an efficient wardrobe storage system is an exquisite fusion of precise dimensions, scientific layout, and personal habits. It does not need to take up a lot of space, but it does require careful thinking and reasonable planning. Instead of envying other people's neatly organized cloakrooms, it is better to start by carefully examining the inside of your own wardrobe, and use these tips that can both "achieve the storage function" and "know how to arrange it cleverly" to stimulate more storage potential. When you open your wardrobe and see clearly classified clothes that can be understood at a glance, the neatness and efficiency bring not only convenience to your life, but also the beginning of a beautiful day. Remember, let the wardrobe serve your life, not your life to fit the wardrobe.
