Customized Solutions For Wardrobe Storage Partitions For People Living Alone And Young Couples

1. Space diagnosis: Don’t rush to buy cabinets first, take a look at your “inventory”

Don’t rush to the home furnishing mall before planning your wardrobe. The first thing a professional organizer does when he or she comes in is always "empty" and "diagnose." All clothes, bedding, and accessories must be taken out of the closet and laid flat on the bed. Although this process seems quite cumbersome, it allows you to directly see the total amount of your clothing and the proportion of categories.

You will find that you originally have so many shirts, but there are actually only a few sweaters in winter. This step can help you determine exactly how much hanging area and stacking area your wardrobe needs. According to the 80/20 rule, 80% of commonly used clothing should be hung to prevent wrinkles; 20% of knitted clothing and T-shirts can be stacked and stored to maximize the use of vertical space. After completing this step, subsequent layout optimization will have a basis to follow.

2. Golden Zone: Tailor-made “efficient movement lines” for different users

The interior design of the wardrobe should not be a cookie-cutter cubicle. It should be tailored to fit the user's living habits.

For people who live alone or are single, saving time and trouble is the core appeal. The ideal layout is to use hanging as the main method and stacking as the auxiliary method. Divide the main area of ​​the wardrobe into an area for long clothes and an area for short clothes. The space under the short clothes area can be equipped with plastic drawer boxes or storage baskets to store underwear, socks or T-shirts, achieving the simplest activity route marking of "one hanging and one stacking". The items on the top that are not often used are the top cabinets. Leave the out-of-season quilts and bedding in the box for storage, so they are neat and can prevent dust.

However, when it comes to the planning of the cloakroom for a young couple, they have to pay attention to the key point of "separating men and women and each getting what they need". Clearly divide the left and right sides of the wardrobe into an area exclusive for the male owner and an area exclusive for the female owner.

The area where the male owner is located has the hanging area as the main component. It is equipped with a suit trouser rack with sufficient width for placing suit trousers and a shirt hanging rod for hanging shirts. This avoids wrinkles in the clothes and allows the male owner to achieve the goal of taking out clothes in one step when going out in the morning, achieving convenient access.

That is called the hostess area, and here is the so-called "storage module" with more complex functions. In addition to the long coat hanging area where coats and long skirts can be placed, it also needs to be equipped with a jewelry tray, which is a small drawer, used to store things like necklaces and watches. In addition, there must be a shelf with a moderately designed size. The purpose of this shelf is to place sports shoes or bags that are often worn, and ultimately achieve a "one-stop wearing" state where everything can be stored.

If the couple prefers casual wear, with T-shirts and sweaters accounting for the majority, then they can use the " stepped hanging + stacking combination ". Arrange the hanging area in steps according to the length of the clothes, and the space below will naturally form a deep stacking area . By using partitions or fabric storage tubes, the clothes can be clearly classified and not easily messed up when taking them out.

3. Pay attention to details: practical steps from "can be installed" to "easy to use"

The theoretical partitions, the specifics of the practical steps, and the selection of tools determine the final effect.

The hanging area needs to be optimized. Use flocked hangers to replace the various hangers sent by dry cleaners. The flocked hangers are very thin and non-slip, which can instantly release 30% of the hanging space. Arrange them according to color or type of clothing, such as shirts as shirts and coats as jackets, from shallow to deep. It will be extremely comfortable visually and you can find clothes faster.

The first is the innovation of the stacking area. Here, clothes cannot be piled up like a pile of books, because once a piece of clothing is removed, the pile will become chaotic. Secondly, you should implement the "standing folding method", fold the T-shirts and sweaters into uniform rectangular blocks, and then put them upright like the spine of a book in a drawer or storage box. Finally, use a honeycomb partition box, so that each piece of clothing will have its own "home", and there will be no interference with each other when taking the clothes, and the sense of order will be very strong.

For the activation of dead space, the side of the wardrobe near the door is often a visual dead space. It can be designed as an open curved cabinet, which can be used as a "secondary cleansing area" or a "frequent changing area". The coats taken off after returning home from get off work can be hung here if they are not washed for a while. The mountains of clothes on the chairs in the bedroom will naturally disappear. At the same time, photo frames or green plants can also be placed here to break the dull feeling caused by the cabinet.

4. Multi-scenario plan: plan the future with a development perspective

Storage must not only solve the current chaos, but also anticipate future changes.

When planning a children's room wardrobe, you must have a sustainable perspective. Children grow extremely fast. When they are three years old, most of their clothes are stacked. However, by the age of ten, school uniforms and coats need to be hung. So, don’t create that rigid and fixed pattern. Install more adjustable movable shelves and more movable hanging rods. Adjust the ratio of the hanging area to the stacking area according to the different age groups of the children. At the same time, the lower area is designed with open compartments or shallow drawers, so that children can take out toys and books by themselves. However, special attention must be paid to never install drawers that are easy to bump into at the height of the child's head.

As for the layout of the wardrobe in the elder's room, it is necessary to follow the principle of "safety and convenience". The elder has a large number of knitted sweaters and sweaters, and the hanging requirements are relatively small, so the proportion of the stacking area in the wardrobe can be increased appropriately. Designing shallow-into-deep shelves helps to clearly pick up and place clothes. Drawers that should be opened frequently should be set in the middle position parallel to the waist and line of sight to prevent the elderly from frequently bending down or tiptoing, thereby reducing potential safety hazards.

First make a diagnosis from the space, then carry out the planning of the movement line, and then let the tools be put on the ground. The area of ​​the wardrobe is not the same as the volume. With reasonable functional design and refined storage management, your wardrobe can not only easily hold all your items, but also become a powerful assistant for your efficient life. On the basis of ensuring that the functions are complete, the family can then choose the cabinet door style they like, and a perfect wardrobe with both beauty and wisdom is born.
