[Adult wardrobe design] How to design the size of the adult wardrobe?
The term "custom wardrobe" refers to a storage unit that can be tailored to meet individual preferences, ensuring a personalized and optimal home experience rather than following mass-market trends. Since different family members have distinct needs—such as children, adults, and the elderly—the design of an adult wardrobe should be carefully considered. So, how do you determine the right size for an adult wardrobe?
**Best Answer**
Wardrobe manufacturers may have varying standard sizes, but there are general guidelines that most follow. However, these dimensions can vary depending on the brand and specific requirements.
1. **Depth of the wardrobe**: Typically ranges from 55 cm to 60 cm. If space allows, going with 60 cm is often better because it offers more comfort when hanging clothes, even though the cost might be similar between 55 cm and 60 cm models.
2. **Door width**: For flat doors, the width usually ranges from 45 cm to 60 cm, while sliding doors tend to be wider, from 60 cm to 80 cm. The hinge mechanism isn’t as smooth as a track system, so the door shouldn't be too wide or heavy.
3. **Height for hanging coats**: A minimum of 140 cm is recommended. Based on personal experience, the longest coat I own is under 140 cm, and suits stored in bags are around 120 cm. It’s better to aim for 140–160 cm to avoid unnecessary wasted space.
4. **Height for hanging tops**: Between 85 cm and 95 cm. In my case, 90 cm works well and maximizes the space without being too tight.
5. **Height for hanging pants**: Around 80 cm to 90 cm is ideal. I used to think about installing a dedicated pant rack, but after advice, I opted for a simple clothes rail instead. This way, I can hang all my pants neatly, and it saves space effectively.
6. **Quilt storage height**: Approximately 30 cm is sufficient. This area is typically located at the top of the wardrobe and is used for seasonal items.
7. **Shoe box height**: Designed based on the height of two shoe boxes, ideally between 25 cm and 30 cm.
8. **Backpack storage height**: More flexible, and should be designed to match the overall layout of the wardrobe. In my case, it's similar to the quilt storage area.
9. **Clothes rail installation**: The rails must be installed according to the interior depth of the wardrobe. There should be a gap of 4–6 cm between the rail and the top panel. Too little space makes it hard to insert hangers, while too much space is a waste of room. High-quality rails are worth investing in, as they should have at least two or three screws on each end for stability.
10. **Rail height**: The clothes rail should be placed at a height equal to the user's height plus 20 cm for ease of access.
Designing a wardrobe is not just about measurements—it's about creating a functional, organized, and comfortable space that fits your lifestyle. Taking the time to plan each section ensures long-term satisfaction and practicality.
