From the user's perspective, the width of a walk-in closet directly affects the daily use experience. Although a 4-foot-wide closet can meet basic storage needs, it may face the following problems in actual operation: space pressure, inconvenient dressing process, lighting and ventilation problems.

If you like your clothes to be well-organized and don't like to take care of them frequently, a closed wardrobe is undoubtedly a better choice. If you love simple style, like to take and put clothes at will and are happy to show your fashion taste, an open wardrobe may be more suitable for you.

But from the actual effect, the built-in wardrobe will not only not make the room area appear smaller, but may make the room appear more spacious by optimizing the space layout.

Compared to closed wardrobes, open wardrobes have no doors to block dust. Therefore, when the air is full of dust, the clothes in the open wardrobe will naturally be covered with dust more easily than those in the closed wardrobe.

For small families, a wardrobe depth of 18 to 20 inches is very common, especially in smaller bedrooms or compact corridors. Although this depth does not provide as much hanging space as a standard 24-inch wardrobe, it can still store thin clothes such as T-shirts and shirts well.

If conditions permit, some ventilation holes can be designed on the back panel of the wardrobe. These ventilation holes can promote air circulation and reduce moisture accumulation inside the wardrobe. Especially in the humid rainy season in the south, such a design is particularly important.

Unfixed wardrobes are not supported by walls, especially taller wardrobes, and the center of gravity is easily unstable. They may fall down when subjected to external force or impact, increasing potential safety hazards.

According to general design specifications, the minimum width of the walk-in closet aisle is recommended to be no less than 24 inches (about 60 cm). This width can accommodate a person of normal size to pass alone.

The floor area of ​​the wardrobe should account for about 10-20% of the total area of ​​the room, which ensures that the wardrobe is neither too large nor too small. For example, in a bedroom with an area of ​​15 square meters, the floor area of ​​the wardrobe should be between 1.5-3 square meters.

As the name suggests, a shaker style wardrobe is a wardrobe that can produce slight shaking or swaying during use. This design is not intended to increase instability during use, but to solve specific storage needs or environmental challenges.
