Filling the wardrobe - how to properly organize the internal space
The enormous popularity of sliding wardrobes is provided not so much by their stylish and attractive appearance, but primarily by their convenience, ergonomics and the ability to use space rationally. The ability to individually, based on the design features of the room and the needs of the user, select the inner filling of the wardrobe, so that the storage space is convenient, spacious and at the same time hidden from view.
Internal filling of the wardrobe
What determines the layout and how to calculate the filling of the wardrobe
The range of equipment for this type of furniture is very large. In order not to be mistaken with the location of shelves, drawers and sections, it is necessary to consider:
- The original size of the room. The dimensions of the cabinet, its shape and parameters will directly depend on it.
- Location. The filling for wardrobes in the bedroom is not at all suitable for arranging storage places in the hallway or living room.
- For what purposes the cabinet will be used. Before embarking on planning, you need to clearly identify your needs. Decide for how many users the product will be designed for, what exactly and in what quantity will be stored there.

Zoning
The classic model of any sliding wardrobe conditionally consists of three parts:
- mezzanine, the upper area for storing things that are rarely used;
- the central one, which is the heart of the entire structure, where hanging hangers, shelves and drawers for frequently demanded wardrobe items are located;
- bottom compartment for storing shoes
Moreover, this distribution is very conditional and can be easily adjusted to the personal needs of the user.
Depending on the need for certain zones, their size and quantity, the inner filling of the sliding wardrobe is selected. Compartments are organized for the location of a certain kind of things.
Underwear and socks
This type of clothing is best stored in drawers with a depth of 10-15 to 30-35 cm:
- two compartments will be enough for men, separately for underwear and socks:
- it is better for women and children to arrange separate drawers for hosiery, socks and underwear
Things on hangers
A hanger for a wardrobe is an irreplaceable thing. It allows not only to place most of the wardrobe in a very compact way, but also to keep things in perfect order.
Regarding the width and height of the department, there are no standard recommendations. The optimal length of the sections is determined by measuring things to which it is necessary to add a margin of 20-25 cm, and the width - from the volume of the wardrobe.
In this case, it is worthwhile to provide for two options for trempels: for short and long clothes.
For vertical storage, pantographs are also ideal - special rods with a release mechanism, allowing rational use of the upper space of the cabinet.
Wrinkle-free things
It is most convenient to place this part of the wardrobe on open shelves with a height of 34-45 cm with a width of:
- 45-70 cm for men;
- 35-65 cm for women;
- 30-55 cm for children
Trousers will come in handy for people not by hearsay familiar with the dress code or jeans fans.
Retractable storage systems
It is very convenient to place shoes not on ordinary shelves, but on special hanging systems.
Bed linen and towels
Roll-out baskets or wide 55-80 cm shelves with a height of 50-60 cm are ideal for storing such bulky items.
Sliding wardrobe internal filling - size matters
When planning any wardrobe, it is necessary to take into account that it is the fittings that will make up from 15 to 65% of the entire filling of the product. And if you do not plan to install exclusively stationary shelves and drawers, you need to ensure that the depth of the structure is at least 60 cm. This is the optimal width for retractable fittings. Of course, you can find options for mechanisms with a depth of 40 cm, but this will be more costly and problematic, and the range will be significantly limited.
Filling the wardrobe in the hallway
If you are the owner of an apartment with a spacious entrance hall, then the choice of a wardrobe and its internal filling is practically unlimited. But often it is this part of the room in standard houses that cannot boast of a large area and the correct shape. Therefore, it is necessary to try to rationally use the wardrobe inside as much as possible.
Provision should be made for places for:
- a bar on which outerwear will be stored;
- shelves for shoes;
- drawers for accessories, shoe care products, umbrellas, gloves and other little things.
Another important nuance that should not be overlooked is the storage space for seasonal clothing.
To save space and visually expand the space, use mirrored glazing of sliding doors.
Filling the wardrobe in the bedroom
Unlike more compact hallway systems, the design of the bedroom closet should provide as much storage space as possible. The height of the cabinet can be set to the maximum - to the ceiling. This technique will allow not only to rationally use the entire space, but also by installing doors with decorative elements, organically complement the interior of the room.
The optimal option for the interior filling of a wardrobe for a bedroom includes the installation of:
- drawers for linen and accessories;
- open shelves and mesh baskets for storing a wide variety of things;
- stationary and retractable rods, hangers for hangers and pantographs;
- holders for ties, trousers and belts;
- niches and shelves for storing bags, shoes, household items: ironing board, iron ...
Filling the wardrobe in the living room
Installing a wardrobe in the living room makes it possible to combine several functional areas at once. In addition to the roomy storage space equipped with many shelves, drawers, niches, baskets and holders for tremples, it is possible to provide for the placement of a small workplace - a mini-cabinet, TV and other television and radio equipment, a movie projector or a utility compartment.
Features of filling corner wardrobes
With the correct selection of internal fittings and the location of storage space, the corner cabinet will allow you to compactly fit a huge amount of things in the smallest space. To avoid the formation of "dead zones" and use every centimeter, it is necessary to combine stationary surfaces with pull-out systems.
The central area of these cabinets is ideal for installing the rails. Drawers, baskets and shelves are best placed on the sides.
A good solution would be to install a system of mechanical trembles, which will further save space.
Built-in wardrobe inside - how to find the right solution
The main principle of competent filling of the wardrobe is an objective assessment of the distribution of space and ergonomics. Before the final approval of the product drawing or ordering a finished cabinet model, do not be lazy to check in real dimensions how the selected dimensions and storage systems meet your needs and expectations.
The filling of the structure should be located at a height that is comfortable for your height and meet individual needs.
The depth of the shelves should not be too deep, otherwise it will be simply inconvenient to get things. And the dimensions of the cabinet fit exactly into the space of the room and not spoil the interior with their bulkiness.
