Filling the wardrobe

Filling the wardrobe, first of all, depends on its size. Sometimes even in small models it is possible to fit a large package. But because of the huge number of offers on the market, it is very difficult to choose the closet that is suitable for your room or hallway. Sometimes a trivial question: “What and how to place in a closet?” - develops into a huge problem, which requires a large amount of time or the help of professionals to solve.

The range of equipment for interior layout depends on where you want to put the closet: in the hallway, bedroom, children's room, living room or corridor. When choosing the installation location of the wardrobe must take into account the size and shape.

If the wardrobe is located in the hallway or hallway, then keep in mind that it will be mainly street clothes, shoes, and accessories. To do this, it is best to install the bar along the length of the entire cabinet, and below make shelves or drawers. The height of the rod for coats, fur coats and other street clothes is about 130 cm. For the bottom, aluminum mesh parts are suitable. Such models of shelves will allow not to stagnate in the closet an unpleasant smell from shoes. Step away from the bottom of the cabinet 50 cm and make the first bottom shelf for high boots.

For a bedroom or a nursery, models with improved filling will be suitable, since in these rooms, in addition to clothes, you will also keep bed linen, towels and other home accessories. If the apartment is no longer provided cabinets or racks, it is better to make the construction of maximum capacity.

In the closet, you can also install a special compartment where there will be household items: an iron, a vacuum cleaner, etc. For them, special components are sold in stores, when you install them, you will largely save space in the closet.

It is very important to have a wardrobe in the children's room, so that the child from the very beginning of life has separate shelves for things that will not come into contact with adult accessories. Unlike wardrobes for adults, there are three or two compartments in the children's room, one of which will be necessary for bedding and toys.

The closet in the living room can have irregular shapes and be combined with a dressing table or TV. In most cases, such models are removed bedding, seasonal clothing or household items.

Forms of wardrobes are countless: you can choose rectangular, angular, radial cabinets. The latter can be used as whole wardrobes and in small spaces.

The most optimal are cabinets with a length of 2 and 3 meters. They will fit in the hallway and in the bedroom. You can separate them into several parts that will be independent of each other. Thanks to this, outdoor items and bedding can be easily stored in one closet.

Another common cabinet - with dimensions of 1800x2400x600. According to its dimensions, it can fit into the nursery, and in the living room. Its content can also vary depending on the installation site. It is advisable to divide the closet to get a separate place for shelves and drawers, as well as a separate compartment for dresses or coats.

Also, cabinets are distinguished by a depth of 40 cm, 60 cm and 500 mm. Wardrobe with a depth of 40 cm is most often used in small hallways and bedrooms. Such models can be of any length, but because of non-standard depth, instead of the usual bar, a retractable bar is installed, which can be purchased at a special store.

Cabinets with a depth of 50 cm are not the most popular. They also differ in non-standard depth and fittings that are installed inside, therefore, finding the appropriate fittings for them is quite difficult or expensive.

Internal accessories of a sliding wardrobe can be budgetary, and also a premium class. The filling of the wardrobe ranges from 10 to 60% of the entire cabinet. For sliding mechanisms, a cabinet with a depth of 60 to 70 cm will be optimal. It is for such models that various sliding fittings are made, however, to a depth of 40 cm, you can find options for sliding mechanisms, but already in a limited range.

Mobile rods are not the cheapest, they are usually installed in narrow cabinets. If you have the opportunity to install a full-fledged barbell, it is better to use this option. In the traditional version, you will be able to hang more things than on a mobile bar.In addition, all the things when choosing you can consider, and not remove from the hanger, to choose a particular dress. Spiral hanger can also be used in corner cabinets.

One of the most expensive systems is a lift rod or pantograph. This model has a lifting mechanism, which makes it quite expensive for the usual budget option. Most often hangers-elevators are located at the very top of the cabinet. With the help of the mechanism access to things is not limited. You only need to pull the handle and the mechanism will drop.

When choosing baskets or honeycomb elements, you must consider the depth of the cabinet. If for a depth of 40 cm without much labor and high costs you will find a coat hanger, then with baskets everything is much more complicated. The optimum depth of furniture is 60 cm or more. For such models it is possible to find fittings in ordinary mass-markets, without resorting to large financial costs.

Cell shelves are made of metal gratings.Most often they are removable fittings. Such shelves and honeycomb elements are very convenient for storing shoes. Due to the presence of the lattice shoes in the closet will be constantly ventilated. Also, these models are used to store leather goods (bags, belts, gloves, etc.).

At the bottom of the cabinet there are usually drawers, shelves or drawers that are designed for shoes. As a rule, it can be sliding, stationary or mesh shelves. In addition, in the shops you can also find shoemakers or, more simply, ring-shoes — special organizers for shoes. Their installation will greatly facilitate your cleaning shoes.

Holders for trousers and belts are also an indispensable part of the modern wardrobe. There are several mechanisms, including swivel, full-length, full-side attachment and hanger. Tie holders are made in the form of a small rod with hooks or loops. Their main difference from each other is the number of hooks.

The traditional fittings also include retractable sections, which can be made not only from metal, but also from wood, glass and plastic. These systems are useful for storing any things: from neckties and butterflies to bedding and blankets.

In a standard complete set boxes for sliding wardrobes make of the laminated chipboard. The bottom can be made of plywood or also laminated chipboard. One of the most important details when selecting drawers is the selection of handles.

In addition to the usual fittings, you can equip your wardrobe with special for household needs. This number includes: the holder for an ironing board, the vacuum cleaner, the iron, dryers. In addition, you can install an ironing board in the closet. For this you need only a special mechanism.

As we said earlier, there is a huge amount of kits for wardrobes, but if you decide to save money and not order the wardrobe stuffing for yourself, then we suggest using standard kits, which can be easily found in stores. The wardrobe is always divided into three parts: the main, mezzanine and lower part. Below are shoes, clothes - in the main part, and on the mezzanine most often hats and other hats.

The best option is to close the cabinet into three separate zones:

• one part is left completely under the shelves or drawers;
• the second we divide a double bar for short things;
• the third is one bar for long things.

At the same time, there should be a shelf for shoes below, and a mezzanine on top.

For a large family, an excellent option for a large closet, where you will be able to clean not only clothes, but also bedding. If the cabinet means storage only for two people, then it would be advisable to divide it into two equal parts.

Each of the parts obtained must be divided into two equal parts. Top mezzanine to make a little more than the other shelves. Finish two or three shelves in one of the parts of the base, and make a place for trousers at the bottom - to install a special sliding mechanism. In the second part of the cabinet to install the bar for ordinary things, and below make 3-4 boxes.

For the hallway, it is better to divide the wardrobe into two zones - leave the mezzanine and the lower shelf for shoes. The basis is divided into two parts: in one set the bar for long things (fur coats, coats, raincoats, trench coats, etc.), in the other part to make shelves or drawers.

To non-standard options include wardrobes with a TV, computer desk, chest of drawers, workplace, dressing table. When installing a model with a TV, you can use two options: first, you can hide the TV in the closet behind the sliding doors, and, second, install the TV by making one of the parts of the closet open.

Modern technologies make it possible to mount TV on one of the doors. However, in this case, the cost of furniture will be much higher. For children's rooms is very relevant option with the addition of a workplace.

An important issue when installing a closet is the installation of shelves. Depending on which model you choose, you can plan the installation of the shelves.

In the models for the bedroom, nursery and living room should provide closed drawers for underwear. Sections should have a depth of 15 to 30 cm. Open shelves are perfect for storing things that are not wrinkled (sweaters, jeans, etc.) For short things, it is best to provide the bar in two tiers.

It is advisable to allocate a separate place in the closet for storing luggage. This can be a mezzanine, or the lower tier of furniture. The easiest option in deep and large models. Shelves here can be found in regular stores.

The most difficult to find shelves for radial models. If we are talking about concave models, it is better to arrange the shelves on the one hand, and on the other, to install the barbell.Easier to have with convex models. Here you can install full shelves on both sides.

For the design of the corner using several options for mounting hardware. First, in the corner you can mount two adjacent bars for hangers. In this embodiment, the lower part of the corner will be free for suitcases or boxes. Secondly, make the "overlap" of two boxes. As a result, you can remove unwanted clothes in the far corner. Finally, the third option - installing a rotating rack. This model is not suitable for those who have every centimeter counts.

The classic design of the wardrobe involves a wardrobe with sliding doors, as well as internal filling. The model built into the niche is an ideal option for both large rooms and narrow corridors.

Corner wardrobe can hide a whole dressing room. Despite the same area as the usual straight model, its internal volume is much larger.Most often, it is in such models that accessories are installed for household needs - holders of ironing boards, vacuum cleaners, irons, etc.

Recently, the radial wardrobe is also gaining popularity. These models are more complex to install and install, but they fit perfectly into any interior. As for the filling, here the models are in many ways inferior to corner cabinets. Radial wardrobes are often installed in living rooms.

The design of all models defines the facade. It can be made of gloss, matte material, wood, leather and fabric. The most common design is wooden doors. In addition, the design of the facade of furniture can be made of: mirrors, mirrors with sandblasting, stained glass, photo printing, MDF panel. Designers combine glass doors with drawings using sandblasting.

When choosing a wardrobe, first of all, pay attention to the material from which it is made. Also consider the type of door opening - monorail or roller. The latter is more suitable for narrow models, and the monorail system can withstand heavy loads.

Look at the quality of the selected fittings. If you want a quality model, then stop the choice on foreign accessories. Also, when choosing, do not forget about the depth of your cabinet. For example, for models of 40-50 cm, an ordinary bar will not work, as the hangers will not fit. Better use vykatnuyu mechanism.

Also consider the characteristics of your room. It is best to come to the store to have a plan for your apartment, where all the projections, arches and other technical issues that may play an important role in purchasing furniture will be indicated.

Use profile. All models use either steel or aluminum profiles. The latter is best purchased if you have a small closet. If the model is more than two meters, buy a steel profile, as it can withstand heavy loads.

When installing the wardrobe in advance, put the question about the installation of ceilings. If you use stretch ceilings, then ask the master to install mortgages for them. When installing radial furniture, the most practical option is a stretch ceiling or ordinary putty.
