Features of filling the cabinet

In order for the cabinet to be not just a beautiful box, but a truly functional product, you need to carefully consider its contents. Each cabinet compartment should be used with maximum benefit and convenience. In order to do this, it is necessary to familiarize yourself in advance with all the nuances and possibilities of filling various models of wardrobe.

Before differentiating between chiffonier zones, you should be familiar with the nuances that should be taken into account.

• The size of the cabinet plays a crucial role. The internal space of single-leaf structures differs from multi-fold. Small cabinets are much easier to divide into compartments, because they are not used to store a large number of things.

• Typically, the content is calculated for wardrobes consisting of multiple compartments. It is also important to pay attention to the shape of the product, because there are linear, angular, and embedded structures, each of which has its own specific filler. The type of product affects the space that the compartments will occupy in the extended state.

• It is important to consider the type of items that will be stored in the wardrobe. Shelves for clothes are significantly different from the compartments for shoes. For some items of clothing, retractable sections are needed; for others, horizontal wide sections.

• Before installing a system for placing clothes and other items in the closet, analyze your financial capabilities. Depending on how complex the “filling” is modeled, a certain amount of additional material will be required. Significant costs will be when choosing components from expensive raw materials.

There are three types of wardrobes. They are classified according to the features and shape of the hull.

Linear cabinets - hull structures with sliding doors. They may have two or more wings.For such products, the number of main vertical compartments inside coincides with the number of door leaves.

In turn, the vertical sections can be subdivided into smaller parts. If the chiffonier is high, then it has a special space at the top - a mezzanine, used to store large items.

Almost all cabinets are supplied with sliding sections. Such boxes are used for underwear and hygiene items. To keep the design compactly into the groove and not to obstruct the closing of the cabinet door, its front panel is equipped with a special recess at the top. It serves as an alternative to a bulging handle.

Making interior fittings for corner wardrobes is somewhat more complicated than for linear products. It is necessary to take into account the shape of the product, which can be either trapezoidal or triangular or diagonal.

The size determines the internal area of ​​the cabinet and the number of compartments into which it will be divided. It can be difficult to fill the space in the very corner, so a universal solution is to install weights in this area to accommodate hangers with clothes.

A special kind of coupe designs - built-in wardrobes. They are the most compact, because they save space in the room, but this does not mean that the cabinet components will not move out of its doors during operation.

If you do not like the standard content, then you can create from a similar design a whole dressing room, equipping it with mirrors and electric lights. Some even make the work area in a similar closet, placing there a sliding compartment for a laptop, as well as a seating area, building a TV in the closet.

It is important to remember all the elements that can fill the wardrobe. Only by knowing the features of each detail, you can competently design the product.

The following are the main filling elements.

• Shoe departments;
• Hangers and hooks designed for unwinding clothing;
• Space to accommodate the hangers;
• Pantograph - a descending mechanism equipped with a handle that allows you to use the space located at the top;

• Trouser holders with retractable technology;
• Retractable baskets for small items that can be located at different levels;

• Hangers for small items of clothing, such as men's accessories.
• Wall niche for an iron (sometimes a special compartment for an ironing board is equipped in a wardrobe);

• Linen shelves or special baskets. These compartments come in all sizes and are intended for linen, which can be kept folded.
• Sliding closed compartments for underwear;
• Retractable baskets.

All listed elements are made of various materials.

Sometimes fabric baskets are installed that have a wooden rectangular frame on top. The front parts of the drawers are sometimes made of glass. Glass transparent or matte elements give the design originality and are an accentuating compartment design.

It is important to remember that all compartments can be placed in a cabinet in a different order.

According to an individual scheme, you can make an unusual cabinet layout, butIseiners are advised to adhere to some standard recommendations in the choice of content.

• The bottom of the cabinet is usually occupied by a shoe compartment, if needed. It must be placed in one of the product leaflets. Sometimes it is allowed to have several tiers in the shoe compartment, if it is necessary to store a lot of shoe pairs. This element can be sliding or vykatny.

• Depending on the size of the cabinet, one or two sections are retracted to accommodate outerwear. According to this principle, the space of one casement of the cabinet is divided into two parts - upper and lower, each of which is equipped with a clothes rail on the hangers.
• Usually open shelves located in the upper or middle parts of the sash, bordering the lower drawers. These boxes are used to store small items of clothing.

• The original storage place for useful trifles will be a hanging shelf consisting of several compartments. It can fill the free space by placing the structure on the rod. This compartment is perfect for storing children's clothes.
• To create additional space for a particular item, use plug-in shelves of the required sizes. They should not exceed the width of the shelf to which they are attached.The fastening itself is carried out due to the presence of special grooves for the body of the main shelf.

• Baskets are located mainly in the lower half of the chiffonier. This facilitates their use and allows you to more quickly remove and put the contents in them.
• Often, in the side of the product create a wall compartment for ironing boards, irons and other accessories for the care of clothing.

In order for each compartment of the cabinet to look proportionally with all other parts and be easy to use, it is necessary to calculate the dimensions of each shelf and drawer in advance.

There are a number of tips to help determine the parameters of the wardrobe.

• The standard length of shelves for storing clothes when folded is 0.6 m. To create deep cabinets, the width of the shelves is increased, but it is not recommended to create a depth greater than 0.6 m, otherwise you will have to fold the clothes in 2 rows and it will be inconvenient to take out the necessary things. Shelves with a depth of 90 cm are only relevant in cabinets for large-sized items, textile accessories and various household utensils.

• In cabinets with a height of 3 meters, there are additional compartments for household appliances, the parameters of which are selected for a specific item - a vacuum cleaner, a TV, a stepladder.
