Wardrobe Selections
In spite of dwelling in a spacious home
with all the necessary accessories, we at times face embarrassing moments,
unable to find enough storage space. The discomfort arises either due to the
storage space at home falling way short of requirements or failing to meet the
required parameters. The wardrobes should be organized and structured in such a
way so as to suit specific needs of the household.In earlier times, wardrobes
were more similar to stacks of shelves covered with wooden shutters, such a
scene has now been drastically changed. There are enormous designs and options
available, each customized to suit individual likes and requirements.
They range from simple structures with
hanging provisions along with a set of drawers to ultramodern walk-in wardrobes
entirely with display platforms and a lounge, in a space large enough to serve
as a room. These walk-in wardrobes offer a lot of space for storage. Here, only
one door is placed and everything else is open. There are no shutters which
might be crowding out the available space.Walk-in wardrobes are most convenient
and suitable, when a small section has been separately earmarked for storage.
In these types, instead of going in for the traditional wardrobes with
individual shutters, the entire section is assigned one access door.
Inside the walk-in closet, there should be
plenty of hanging space defined at different heights, complemented by open
shelves. The bottom level can sport deep drawers to store extra linen and
things.For storing of items like undergarments and others that cannot be hung,
a separate set of drawers could be arranged. Footwear need not be clubbed along
with the cloth items, which is also not hygienic.
The bottom section of a wardrobe can be
used for the provision of a locker. It would be better to fabricate a locker in
the bottom shelf and this locker should be anchored to the floor so that it
becomes immobile. Even it could be concealed with a loose piece of wood if need
arises. Usually the loft is used for storing suitcases and other large items
that would not fit into the lower shelves of the wardrobe. Most often and
unfortunately the loft and its contents are not easily accessible. This could
be solved by having wardrobes that have large shelves so that these pieces
could be accommodated.
This exercise could be done only in houses
which can afford extra storing space. But space becoming the rarest of the
commodities, nowadays, we have to resort to loft spaces for such storage. For
such eventualities, it would be better to go in for a large dumping unit in the
loft.If wardrobes are situated in a not so much illuminated place, then
lighting can be arranged inside them controlled by a toggle switch. A separate
section could be kept for hanging clothes that have been used once, but will be
worn again before washing. It will be sensible to have shutters in this section
that will breathe. Even the storage unit for footwear should possess similar
shutters.
In market plenty of wardrobes are available
off the shelf to suit variable requirements. These come with adjustable shelves
and in combinations of drawers, shelves and hanging space.With all these
apparent advantages like attractiveness, good designs and quick availability,
the major requisite is the durability of the wardrobe. Most of the users are
appreciative of a traditional wardrobe made from standard and solid wood and
typically lasting 25 to 40 years. Being
not customized they lack the personal touch. They are mostly standardized. They
are not long lasting because they are essentially made from particleboard.While
acquiring a wardrobe it should be seen that its structure would have to be
designed, keeping in mind the nature of
the user and the quantum of storage space required. Also the available space for accommodating it
should be taken into consideration.
