Wardrobes, as an important component of the storage of family space, have always received attention. Given the actual situation of the house type, most owners will choose to customize their wardrobe. A reasonable wardrobe design can not only fully utilize spatial characteristics to improve storage capacity, but also maintain beauty and order, optimize the use experience, and increase the quality of life.
1. Functional requirements of wardrobe
Before making a wardrobe plan, the designer needs to clarify the functional requirements of the owner for the wardrobe. Develop a plan based on the type, quantity, and personal preferences of family members.
2. Location and size of wardrobe
The wardrobe design is likely to be based on the structure and size of the owner’s house, as well as the area and location of the room.
3. Material selection of wardrobe
When selecting a wardrobe material, it is important to consider multiple factors such as durability, environmental protection, price, and room style. The common boards on the market are mostly solid wood, large core board, solid wood particle board, density board, fireproof board, etc.
Solid wood: Solid wood panels have good quality, comfortable feel, natural texture, long service life, and are sturdy and durable. With good moisture absorption and breathability, it is beneficial to human health and does not cause environmental pollution. It is a high-quality board for making high-end furniture and decorating houses. However, the cost is also higher.
Large core board: This kind of board has a flat surface, is not easy to deform, and has excellent stability. Good screw grip, high strength, strong texture, sound absorption, heat insulation, and other characteristics. However, the water content is not high, the processing is simple and widely used. Various thicknesses can be selected as needed. At the same time, the thicker the thickness, the higher the cost.
Solid wood particle board: Solid wood particle board is made in the form of solid wood particles and bonded with a special adhesive. This kind of plate has good quality and high cost performance. And compared to the weight of solid wood, the texture of the particle board will be lighter.
Density board: namely, man-made board, with high strength and uniform structure. The material is fine and dense, resistant to impact, and easy to process. The price is also relatively cheap, but it has weak moisture resistance and is prone to mold. It is not recommended to use in spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Fireproof board: Fireproof board is a fire-resistant building material with excellent heat preservation and insulation performance, good durability, economy and practicality. Widely used in interior decoration, furniture, kitchen cabinets, laboratory countertops, exterior walls, and other fields.
4.Ventilation and lighting of wardrobe
As a family storage space, when designing a wardrobe, it is necessary to consider the ventilation conditions and lighting issues of the wardrobe itself, to avoid excessive humidity and exposure to the sun.
5. Adequate clothes hanging area
When making a wardrobe plan, you should try to reserve enough clothes hanging areas. Compared to the folding method, the clothes hanging area can save storage time, make it clear at a glance, and facilitate handling. At the same time, hanging clothes can eliminate the time required for folding and ironing. If there is enough space, it is recommended to make more clothes hanging areas.
6. Appropriate stacking area
Although the clothes hanging area is more convenient to use, it occupies more space in the wardrobe. A wardrobe with the same area has a larger capacity and stronger storage capacity when stacked than when hung. Therefore, it is important to leave appropriate stacking areas for seasonal or infrequent clothing.
7. Drawer height
The drawer area of the wardrobe is very necessary, mainly for storing smaller clothes such as underwear and socks. When designing the drawer area, it is necessary to consider taking it and try to avoid making the drawer area too low and making it difficult to take it.
8. Open Area
In addition to storing daily clothes, if there is sufficient space, it is also possible to consider designing some open areas. Used to place clothes that need to be worn the next day, or temporarily change clothes that do not need washing. This can also avoid throwing it casually on the window, bed, and other places, resulting in an unsightly visual experience.
9. Opening method of cabinet door
The way the wardrobe is opened directly affects the owner’s experience, so this detail should also be considered. The common ones are swing doors and sliding doors.
Side hung door: The cabinet door of the side hung door is opened outwardly, and during design, it is necessary to ensure that the door opening area is not blocked by furniture, decorations, etc.
Sliding doors: Sliding doors do not need to consider opening the door, but the disadvantage is that they can only open half of the cabinet, with a relatively incomplete view. If you do not pay attention when closing the door, clothes protruding from the guide rail can also be affected when closing the cabinet door. At the same time, the guide rail is easy to get stuck due to its long service life.
