Speaking of wardrobes, I believe many people have the problem of "the wardrobe is too small and there is not enough room for clothes".
Your wardrobe may be like this, with layers upon layers, and finding a piece of clothing is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Forgive me for being blunt, but most of the reasons for this situation may be your own problems.
Put away your 50-meter sword first, and ask yourself with conscience:
1. Do you know your clothes?
2. Do you know what type of clothes you wear the most?
The correct internal planning logic of the wardrobe should be: plan the internal layout of the wardrobe according to your own types of clothes.
But the internal layout of most people's wardrobes has become as follows:
In terms of the internal division of the wardrobe, we must plan based on the principle of meticulousness: where to put the long Where to put clothes, where to put short clothes, where to put accessories...you have to know everything.
According to the height of different clothes, the wardrobe is arranged in a design where both the upper and lower areas can be hung. In addition, compartments and pull-out areas are added.
This kind of design can circle all the clothes in a specific space to avoid the situation of randomly placing clothes and not being able to find clothes.

"Throw" and "divide" clothes
The first step in wardrobe organization is to learn how to "throw" and "divide" clothes .
1. How to “throw away” clothes
We will buy different clothes at different age groups. Due to changes in the social circle of life, some clothes are no longer suitable for wearing, thus becoming the "last item" in the wardrobe.
So, we must first get rid of the clothes that are no longer suitable for wearing and the clothes that do not fit the size to make enough space in the wardrobe.
2. How to "divide" clothes
To partition the clothes inside the wardrobe, you can follow the following principles:
1. Organize the wardrobe into tops and bottoms Make visual partitions.
2. In-season clothes are on the outside, and non-season clothes are on the inside.
3. Put light clothes on the upper layer and heavier clothes on the lower layer.
02
Plan the wardrobe according to the length of the clothes
Only by understanding the length and width of the clothes can we better plan the wardrobe.

Take a swing-door wardrobe as an example. The thickness of the cabinet door is roughly 2cm, and the depth of the cabinet is usually 55 to 60cm.
If it is a sliding door wardrobe, the internal track groove needs to occupy about 8cm of cabinet depth, so the entire cabinet depth needs to be 65 to 70cm.

Wardrobe internal partitions
1. Suspension area: long clothes area and short clothes area can be distinguished
The hanging storage method can You can see the clothes intuitively, making it easy to find and retrieve them, and it is not easy to break the clothes.
Short clothes area: 90cm~110cm, used for hanging shirts, jackets and other short clothes.
Long clothes area: 120cm~160cm, used for hanging long coats, dresses and other long clothes.
Extra-long clothing area: >160cm, used to hang long coats, etc., and suitcases, drawer storage boxes, etc. can also be placed underneath.
2. Upper storage area
Upper storage area: 40cm~55cm, which can store bedding or infrequently used large items.
3. Stacking area & drawers
The stacking area is usually used in conjunction with storage boxes. After the clothes are folded, they are stored in a vertical manner, which is easy to access and saves space.
The distance between the layers in the stacking area is controlled at 40cm~60cm.
Drawer: The height is generally between 15cm and 20cm, and the width is generally between 40cm and 80cm. You can place a treasure box in the drawer to store small items such as scarves and headbands.
Note that the treasure boxes here are placed separately and can be taken out flexibly; do not make partitions directly in the drawer, as this takes up a lot of space! It takes up a lot of space! It takes up a lot of space!
4. Pants hanging area (optional)
Many people will choose this kind of pull-out trouser rack, but to be honest, they really don’t fold their pants and put them on top of each other. Well come.
Or you can roll up the pants and place them, which can also save a lot of space.
