Sliding wardrobe in the hallway: internal filling with dimensions, photos of interesting examples

A wardrobe or a hanger in the hallway is a necessary element for storing clothes. However, ordinary wardrobes are not so convenient due to swing doors, and hangers filled with clothes do not look very aesthetically pleasing. That is why the best choice would be to use a wardrobe.

The filling of the closet in the hallway must be carefully thought out taking into account the characteristics of your wardrobe.

Features of the internal filling of the wardrobe in the hallway

Rational and thoughtful filling of the wardrobe in the hallway is able to combine aesthetics, style and functionality. With a competent approach to organizing space, you can significantly increase the capacity of even a small model, make every nook and cranny easily accessible and convenient, as well as provide the contents with the correct storage conditions with good ventilation.

The sliding wardrobe can be purchased in the configuration offered by the manufacturer, or you can think over and fill the system with shelves and hangers that are most convenient for you

The interior design takes into account the following factors:

• dimensions and layout of the cabinet;
• the purpose of the room;
• the estimated number of things to store and their variety.

For a wardrobe located in the hallway, such horizontal zoning is optimal:

• the upper, mezzanine part is reserved for seasonal, non-permanently used things, hats in special containers with a mannequin stand, suitcases, boxes with temporarily unused shoes, as well as skates, skis and other inventory;
• in the middle part, actual outerwear, boxes, tool kits and other things that are most in demand at a given time are placed;
• the lower part is used for storing shoes and shoe care products.

In this case, the sizes of each zone are set based on the volume of the intended content.

Make a list of the compartments and accessories you need to fill the cabinet

Also, the interior design is adjusted to the dimensions of the cabinet and, therefore, the dimensions of the doors. This will allow you to have access to all things in the open compartment at once. It is optimal to put a door leaf with a width of no more than one meter. That is, if a large structure is needed, then three or four doors are made for it, which facilitates operation.

In addition, for the convenience of finding things, the top panel of the wardrobe is often equipped with built-in lamps. They are especially important in radius and corner models, where they can be in the form of spots with the ability to adjust the direction of light or LED strips.

For built-in lighting of shelves and hangers, it is better to use LED lamps.

Mandatory elements for filling the wardrobe

The following elements must be present in the cabinet:

• shelves in large quantities and with variable distances used to store folded wardrobe items;
• small boxes for various little things or linen;
• a bar on which hangers with outerwear are placed;
• pull-out baskets for storing small items or umbrellas;
• a narrow compartment at the bottom for storing shoes and often with a net for storing wet shoes.

The budget option for filling the cabinet implies a minimum of pull-out elements and a maximum of stationary shelves

To make the most of the available cabinet space, it is often equipped with hat holders, hooks and corner shelves.

Cabinet filling options depending on the storage of items

Since the wardrobe is located in the hallway, most of the space in it is allocated for shoes and outerwear. Moreover, the compartments for each type of items have their own characteristics.

To store the vacuum cleaner in the closet, you need a sufficiently wide and deep compartment

Storage compartments

For long outerwear, it is necessary to equip a compartment in which hangers can be placed. In the case when the width of the cabinet exceeds 60 cm, a crossbar is installed at shoulder level, on which the hangers cling. If the width of the cabinet is less than 45 cm, then it is optimal to use sliding structures in the form of transverse rods attached to the shelf, on which the hangers are placed parallel to the door. At the same time, it is more convenient to place them above the level of the head.

A separate compartment must be provided for outerwear.

The height of this section depends on the type of items you plan to store. So, 130-150 cm will be optimal for coats and raincoats, and 90-120 cm for jackets and jackets. Of course, the growth of the host plays a significant role.

The height of the fastening of the bar for hangers is selected depending on what kind of clothes will be placed in the compartment

If the height of the wardrobe exceeds 220 cm, then in one compartment you can place two storage spaces in the form of crossbars with hangers. For this, a pantograph is installed in the upper part of the section instead of a bar, that is, a crossbar with a lifting mechanism.

Shoe storage

For shoes, the lower section of the cabinet is allocated, in which it is best to install mesh shelves. They have the following advantages:

• better overview of stored pairs;
• protection of shoes from dirt and dust;
• comfortable placement of models with heels.

Shoes are usually stored at the bottom of the closet.

It is rational to use pull-out systems for shoe racks, in which you can place several narrow mesh shelves attached to the side or back wall. It is better to place them at a slight forward inclination. The height of this compartment is very variable and depends on the number of shoes to be stored.

It is important to think carefully about the storage of various shoes

Drawers and shelves for storing accessories

In the upper part of the cabinet there is a fairly large section reserved for storing large, infrequently used things. The height of this section is usually about 60 cm, but may vary depending on specific requests.

You can store things in purchased boxes with lids or in shoe packaging

The rest of the cabinet space is freely and arbitrarily filled with shelves, pull-out wire baskets or drawers. They are designed to store hats, scarves, gloves, bags and other accessories. Also, a place is often allocated for placing umbrellas, which is especially important for models of the "cane" type.

Retractable elements can be installed both on budget roller mechanisms with high noise and not very large strength, and on more expensive, but also more reliable and durable telescopic guides on ball bearings.

Standard boxes are made of chipboard with fiberboard bottom. In this case, the texture of the front part must correspond to the front of the cabinet.

Storage of household appliances

With the proper dimensions, the wardrobe can also be used as a place to store a vacuum cleaner, ironing board or a baby carriage, since usually these devices are located in the apartment difficulties. For them, it is necessary to take out sections that are suitable in size, while not the largest, since when assembled these things are quite compact in size. You can also integrate the ironing board into the wardrobe itself, providing it with a special attachment for ironing sleeves.

Cabinet fillers

For the most compact arrangement of things, various devices are used for storing and organizing space, called cabinet fittings. The simplest option is a hook block designed for crease-free clothing. You can see how the wardrobe looks in the hallway with different filling in the photo.

Barbells

The bars, or crossbars, on which the hangers cling, can be located both parallel and perpendicular to the cabinet doors. The first option is more convenient, as it gives a complete overview of the items placed. However, it is only possible for relatively large cabinets, the depth of which exceeds 60 cm, since the hangers take up just that much space.

For a deep cabinet, it is better to choose pull-out rails.

If the cabinet is less deep, 40-45 cm, then the bar will be located perpendicular to the door. In this case, only the thing hanging in front will be viewed, which is not very convenient. This problem is solved by using retractable systems.

Ladies

These devices for compact storage of trousers are pull-out slats of 7-9 crossbars or tubular slats on which pants folded in two hang. A big plus of the trouser holders is that the trousers do not wrinkle on them. Usually they are placed at waist level, less often at shoulder level.

Baskets

For a quick selection of wardrobe items, pull-out mesh baskets from several tiers are used. The principle of their work is exactly the same as that of the boxes.

Baskets come in a variety of sizes and can be used to store a wide variety of wardrobe items

Belt and tie storage device

It is a hanger-like hanger with a more compact size and is usually placed on the side wall of the section for outerwear. It can also be used to store scarves, mufflers and similar accessories.

Choosing the size of the wardrobe for the hallway

Modern wardrobes are usually made to order, taking into account the wishes of the customer in terms of size and content. However, there are generally accepted standards that the vast majority of models comply with. The general criteria for calculating dimensions include the following:

1. Height corresponding to a person's height. The standard height is 2.1 m, but there are also models up to 2.5 m.
2. The depth of the cabinet is about 60 cm, the shelves are 50 cm.
3. The width of the shelves is from 40 cm to 1 m. It is not recommended to make them wider, as they can bend under the weight of the clothes.
4. The length of the bar is from 80 cm to 1 m. For longer lengths there is a risk that it will bend during use.
5. The height of the bar for short clothes is 80 cm, and for long clothes - 160 cm.
6. The height of the boxes is 10-30 cm, the width is 40-80 cm.

These dimensions are due not only to practical convenience, but also to the reference to the standard dimensions of the materials used.

60 cm - this depth of the closet is enough to hang outerwear on a hanger

A rather interesting and functional option is a cabinet with variable depth. Different sections of this design have different depths, which allows you to save more space. Such models will be especially relevant for small hallways.

Perhaps the fundamental factor in choosing the size of the cabinet is the area of ​​the hallway. Depending on it, the cabinet configuration is also selected, which can be:

• corner, characterized by special spaciousness and allowing the most practical use of the available space;
• radius, with curved lines, allowing to emphasize the original approach to the design of the entrance area;
• straight, best suited for narrow spaces.

It is also worth considering the design of the hallway and corridor, so that the wardrobe is not only functional, but harmoniously combined with the overall design.
