How to calculate the size
It is important to perform calculations of the size of the dressing room at the design stage. In the future, this will facilitate the arrangement of this room and help to do it right.
To correctly calculate the size of the wardrobe room, it is worth dividing all the work into several stages:
- determines the type and number of things to store;
- zoning - here you need to determine the level of depth and calculate the size of the width.
Determining the type and number of things to store
Many often in the apartment there is a constant accumulation of things that can occupy most of the premises. So that they are close, but do not take up much space, you need to remove them in the dressing room. However, the wardrobe is not always provided for standard apartments, so it often has to be equipped on its own. Be sure to evaluate the number and type of things to store.
What things should be stored in this room:
- upper things - coats, jackets, down jackets, windcheaters. Be sure to evaluate the size, volume and severity of this type of clothing;
- in the wardrobe, you can remove warm sweaters, cardigans, sweaters. Especially in the warm season;
- various pants, trousers, dresses, skirts. Usually these things should be hung on a coat hanger;
- In the dressing room, a place must be provided for storing various shoes of the winter, spring, autumn and summer look.
It is worth evaluating the total number of things that you plan to put in the dressing room. The size of the wardrobe room, as well as the number of lockers and drawers for storing clothes will depend on this condition.
Zoning
The ergonomics of the dressing room should provide a convenient location for all areas in which many things can be accommodated. But at the same time, this room should not be cluttered.
All things are different, they need to be removed to the upper shelves, hung on the shoulders, and placed in the lower shelves. For this reason, it is important that the dressing room is divided into zones. Usually it is divided into several zones:
- upper zone - this segment is located at a level of 200-250 cm from the floor. These are mezzanines that are designed for folding off-season or rarely used clothes.The height of this area should be about 50 cm;
- middle zone - this part is located at a height of 60 to 170 cm from the floor surface. Usually this area has to be used often. Here it is recommended to hang things on the shoulders and roof rails, you can also install open shelves of sweaters. Behind closed facades and dressers you need to store bedding, towels, accessories;
- lower zone - an area that is 70 cm from the floor surface. This area is the most ideal place to store shoes, heavy items, various bags. This area is not used as often.
Depth determination
Before proceeding with the calculations, it is worthwhile to find out the configuration features of the wardrobe room. The type of configuration should be determined depending on the filling of the internal space of the sections. If a rod with a longitudinal structure will be placed parallel to the wall in this room, then the depth of the dressing room should be at least 65 cm.
If hangers are placed around the perimeter of the dressing room, then for a suitable arrangement of shoes, you will need to install a special shoe cabinet below the hangers. The depth of the shoe cabinet must be at least 35 cm.
The optimal size of the wardrobes, namely their depth, must be calculated according to the following scheme:
- it is necessary to add the size of the depth of the shelves, the size of the width of the door and the passage;
- if the room involves the placement of drawers, then the depth is also calculated;
- if the wardrobe closets have doors with a sliding structure, then the width of this room will be equal to the dimensions of the width of the cabinet and the passage;
- The most ideal size for the depth of the dressing room is 100 cm.
Width calculation
It is advisable to make a drawing in advance, on which it will be possible to mark the parameters of this corner. This will greatly facilitate the task of properly arranging the room.
During the installation of furniture along the wall surface, the width of the dressing room should be considered according to the scheme:
- to the size of the depth of the cabinet is added the size of the width of its door and the size of the passage. A suitable option would be a room with a width of 1 m;
- if wardrobes are installed in the wardrobe without doors, but with sliding drawers, then the width size is calculated as follows - the size of the passage area is added to the two depths of the cabinet. Usually the width is also 1 meter;
- if the doors have a sliding system, and instead of drawers there are shelves, then the width should be calculated as follows - the size of the passage area is added to the size of the cabinet depth.
If the furniture is installed along the opposite wall, then the width size is calculated as follows:
- you need to add two depths of the cabinet, as well as two sizes of the width of the open doors of the cabinets and the width of the passageway at least 30 cm. If you perform all the calculations correctly, the doors will open freely and people can easily dress in the room;
- if the cabinet has no doors, then the size of the passageway is added to two depths. The width in the calculations should be 1 meter;
- if there is a cabinet in the dressing room without doors, but with drawers, then you need to add 4 depths to the cabinet.
Storage space sizes
An important criterion for arranging a wardrobe room is the correct calculation of places for storing things. It is important that the systems do not occupy a large area, but at the same time contain a lot of clothes. Every thing should be in its place and be at hand.
For clothes on a coat hanger
