Sizes of the wardrobe

The tendency to order furniture for your home has been popular for many years. Nowadays, ready-made furniture of a certain type is rarely bought, especially in wardrobes.

These products, like no other, require an individual approach. The customer himself selects the color and content of the wardrobe, as well as its configuration, so that it fits perfectly into the interior design. The contractor at the same time need to know exactly the size of such furniture and the ability to "fit" it in a certain place.

The wardrobe is in great demand due to its practicality, functionality and attractive appearance.Today, many prefer the author's design, but, nevertheless, each model must conform to generally accepted standards, although it is possible to deviate a little from them.

General criteria when calculating the size of the cabinet:

• The height of the furniture usually corresponds to the height of the person. The standard cabinet height is 2.1 m. Some models reach a height of 2.4 to 2.5 m.
• Depth is about 60 centimeters.
• The width of the shelves can vary from 40 centimeters to 1 m. They cannot be made wider, since they can bend under the weight of the clothes.
• Rod under the hanger usually has a length of 80 cm to one meter. If you make it longer, it will bend during operation.
• The depth of the shelves according to general standards should be 50 cm
• The bar for short clothes should be located at a distance of 80 cm, and for long ones - 160 cm.
• Boxes should be 10–30 cm high and 40–80 cm wide.

To functionally use the area of ​​the room, you should order a wardrobe individually for special sizes. This approach will allow to hide a blind corner, free space around the doorway, a niche with uneven corners, and to decorate the interior.

Built-in models are very popular because they occupy a small space in the room. Radius and corner wardrobes look beautiful and impressive.

If you contact the designer to design your future furniture, you can choose the internal filling of the cabinet to suit your personal requirements, as well as choose the exterior design of the model. You will be able to provide places for the location of non-standard items.

The design of the wardrobe can be varied. It all depends on the designer's imagination and your preferences.

In order to competently use the working space of the room, many designers offer to opt for the design of the cabinet with variable depth.

This model is divided into zones. Part of the wardrobe is deep enough to conveniently arrange clothing. The next section can be used for books or dishes, so there is no need to make it deep. This way you can leave more free space.

In order to correctly calculate the dimensions of the wardrobe, you should first decide what material it will be made of.. The usual building materials are standard sizes.

Chipboard sheets are available in the following sizes: 2750 x 1830 mm, 2800 x 2700 mm and 2440 x 1830 mm. The part may have a maximum height or width of no more than 2740 mm. The choice of material affects solely the width of the model, but the depth does not depend on the materials used at all.

Masters use a variety of options for connecting small parts. You can use several cabinets, which will be combined with a common sliding system.

The conventional depth of the cabinet is considered to be 60 centimeters. When designing, several factors should be taken into account that directly affect the depth of the furniture:

• With a standard depth model is guaranteed excellent capacity and ease of use.
• The large depth, which can reach 90 cm, is characterized by inconvenience, since the things near the wall will be hard enough.
• A narrow 30-centimeter cupboard is not roomy, since such a depth does not allow to place a lot of things. Such models are poorly resistant, especially high, so they additionally need to be attached to the wall. Experts advise to make the minimum depth of 40-50 cm.

It is also worth considering the accessories when calculating the depth of the cabinet. Its depth is always 10 cm less than the overall dimensions of the product - this place is occupied by a sliding facade system.

The height of the wardrobe may be different. But, if we talk about the standard size, then with a ceiling height of 2500 to 2700 mm, the furniture usually reaches a height of 2000 to 2500 mm. You can order a model of standard height or higher versions of 2,700 mm and practically touch the ceiling.

The maximum height of the wardrobe can be no more than 2,780 mm, since a regular chipboard sheet has such a size.. If you want the product to be from 3 to 3.5 m, then you have to do mezzanine.

The width of the wardrobe has a direct dependence on the size of the profile. The standard parameters are the depth of 60 cm, and the width is from 0.9 to 2.4 m. Although there is no established standard, and each manufacturer offers its own version.

For the bedroom, a wardrobe with a width of 2200 mm will be an ideal choice, since this option will allow you to correctly position the entire wardrobe, as well as other items. For a family that includes three people, you can use a closet with a width of 2 m. Comfort and convenience are guaranteed to all family members.

In the nursery or hallway, a closet-compartment is ideal, the width of which can vary from 140 to 160 cm. The compact model does not take up much space and will allow you to arrange all items and wardrobe elements neatly and in an organized way.

For small rooms, designers offer models whose width is 110 cm. Such a cabinet is divided into two parts inside, and usually has two doors. The most compact is a cabinet with a width of 80 cm. It takes up very little space, so you can put it in a small hallway or on the balcony.

The minimum width can be one meter, then the cabinet has only two doors. Narrow doors are characterized by instability, which will lead to the loss of facades from the lower rails, so they must be at least 45 cm wide. If the dimensions of the cabinet do not allow using such parameters, then you have to abandon the sliding system and use hinged doors.

The maximum height of the cabinet can be no more than 278 cm, since such is the size of a chipboard. If it is necessary to create a wide model, then the cabinet is assembled from two modules, between which a partition is placed.

To correctly calculate the number of doors, one should measure the opening. The door is only 4 cm less than the height of the opening. But the width of the door depends on their number. Remember that the doors are arranged in such a way as to cover each other a little. Given this fact, you should add 2 cm for each place of overlap.

For example, if you decide to use only two doors, then their width is calculated as follows: the width of the opening of the cabinet plus 2 cm and divided into two. If you use three doors, then the calculation will look like this: the width of the opening plus 2 cm and divide by three.

Door guides can have a maximum size of 5 m. They are made from aluminum. This width allows you to use from 4 to 7 doors. So that the doors are not too heavy, their width should not exceed one meter.

The sliding wardrobe usually contains bars, regiments and boxes. You can individually select the number of vertical sections. They can be of various widths. The standard choice is the option when there is a separate compartment behind each door.

It is very important to take into account the thickness of the material, since it plays an important role when calculating the filling of the cabinet. DSP can have a thickness of from 16 to 18 mm. If you create multiple partitions, the product immediately loses about 5 cm. There may appear so-called “dead” zones inside, if the furniture consists of two or three doors. In such places it is worth avoiding the use of sliding mechanisms.

When calculating the depth of filling, it is very important to consider the size of the mechanism for doors, as well as hinges and handles. For example, if the cabinet has a standard depth of 60 cm, then only a 45 cm guide is suitable for the drawer, since the front loop and the handle are also used.

The bar should have a length of at least 55 cm. The height of its location may be different. It depends on the growth of family members, so it can vary from 1.5 to 1.8 m. With the help of a pantograph, the bar can be raised to a great height.

Often inside the closet is a chest of drawers. It must be no more than one meter in height. Its depth depends on the overall depth, and do not forget to take away the width of the handle. Usually leave 25 cm for a standard drawer handle. To increase the depth of the boxes, you can use the mortise handles, because they do not protrude beyond the front panel.

Proper location directly affects usability. It is recommended to maintain the distance between the shelves from 25 to 35 cm. But you can deviate from these dimensions in order to achieve the best result. For example, for convenient use of deep shelves it is necessary that the distance between them is more than 35 cm.

Although many prefer the presence of several small "strips" than one roomy. In this case, it will be much easier to arrange things, you will always know what and where is located.

When choosing a wardrobe is very important to pay attention to what materials this furniture is made, as well as its appearance.. From the choice of raw materials depends on the durability and strength of the product. Many models are made of chipboard and MDF.

Innovative technologies used in the manufacture of these materials are the guarantor of excellent quality. The furniture is not afraid of exposure to moisture and mechanical damage, as well as excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations.

Still need to take 5 cm on each side because of the irregularities of the walls. If the cabinet is located behind the doorway, then the location of the door handle must be taken into account. It is necessary to choose the correct width of the product so that the handle does not touch the cabinet door.

Placing a closet near electrical wiring is strictly forbidden. When calculating the depth of the product, it is necessary to retreat 5 cm from the switch, door opening.

After making all the above calculations, you can correctly determine the dimensions of the product. It is necessary to calculate the depth, height and width of the cabinet, as well as the dimensions of the cover, bottom and base. Be sure to determine how many doors will be and their width.
