In today’s furniture industry, there is a focus on minimalism, with a simple exterior and a powerful storage capacity inside. The embedded wardrobe can also rescue unique room layouts, transforming the original flaws of the wall into something extraordinary.
How can we create an embedded wardrobe in the bedroom? Friends, find a good corner, and this will instantly double the size of your bedroom!
1. Utilize the “defects” of the layout design
Some layouts have inherent “protruding” walls due to design issues, which cannot be removed and are troublesome to utilize. In this case, a built-in wardrobe is a good solution.
For “concave” walls, as long as the depth and dimensions are appropriate, it is very easy to utilize the three walls of the “concave” shape to create a built-in wardrobe.
2. Irregular dead corners in the bedroom
Some irregular spaces in the bedroom can actually be utilized to create a custom wardrobe. Adding glass sliding doors instantly elevates the sophistication of the entire corner!
Corner wardrobes generally have small diagonal spaces, so it is recommended to use sliding doors, which save more space and make it easier to access the cabinet doors.
3. Glass wardrobes provide a sense of transparency
As minimalist styles become increasingly popular, transparent and simple wardrobes are more favored. They make the bedroom appear more open and visually enlarge the space.
4. Wardrobe dimensions should be detailed
When designing a built-in wardrobe, the dimensions should consider not only the size of the space but also the utilization of the top space, as well as the space required for hinged and sliding doors.
The depth of the wardrobe: the optimal depth should be 60cm, mainly based on the shoulder width and arm length of Eastern people. 60cm is slightly larger than the 55cm shoulder width of Eastern men, making it most suitable for reaching clothes.
The length of the wardrobe: the length of the built-in wardrobe can refer to the wall length, with a slight reduction of about 10-20cm for the best effect, ensuring efficient space utilization and a more unified appearance of the wall.
5. Optimize the internal layout to double the storage
A good wardrobe design must have a scientifically reasonable internal layout. First, we need to find the “golden area.” The golden area is the eye-level area, which is the first area we see. Next is the area below that does not require bending down or stretching to reach; finally, the top and bottom areas that are harder to access.
Generally, the middle layer is for hanging commonly used clothes; a sliding drawer is designed at one-third of the height from the ground for storing underwear or socks; the top and bottom are for storing infrequently used items.
To increase storage capacity, it is recommended to design more shelves and sliding baskets inside the cabinet, which will enhance space utilization.
Tips for Built-in Wardrobes:
1. Minimize the space for hanging long clothes. Long clothes take up a lot of space, so we can leave a small area for hanging long clothes. Alternatively, set up a top cabinet to neatly stack long clothes inside.
2. Consider future life changes. It is important to consider future changes, such as reserving space for marriage or children, to avoid inconvenience later on.3. Use storage boxes or bins. To maximize the wardrobe’s storage capacity, we recommend using storage boxes or bins to categorize clothes and fully utilize storage space.
4. The top cabinet space should be larger. The design of the top cabinet space should be larger to store larger, lighter, and moisture-proof items, such as quilts. Heavier items are best placed in the bottom cabinet for safety and convenience when retrieving items.
