Storage of things has become a serious criterion when
deciding to buy a home, in modem times. People want each and every room to have
a functional as well as decorative storage space, and the bed room is no exception.
The closet nowadays is no longer just a shelf. As per the widening needs, it
has taken new designs, dimensions, and components.
Before the commencement of planning the closet, one has
to consider the amount of space at disposal and the amount of space possible to
dedicate to the closet or wardrobe. Depending on the need a variety of closets
can be made.Thus, closets could be large, small, narrow, decorative or just
functional. The best aspect about building a closet is that it can be made to fit any shape
and comer.
Wall-to-wall closets are easiest to make because the
ceiling floor and walls provide one with a fixed dimension to work with. The
closet can be made as deep or as narrow as desired, but a 24 inch depth is
usually the norm. These closets enable one to have as many shelves as wanted of
varying heights and allow one to hang the clothes too.
In-corner closets are ideal for smaller rooms. The space
found in between is apt for putting in a bed, desk, or any other furniture. The
whole wall looks unified and continuous while giving a built-in effect.
If one needs a space exclusively for accommodating all
the linen, then the linen closet perfectly fits that requirement. These are
mostly located in the bathroom or hallway and every inch of space should be
utilized to the maximum, as the space available is often not much.The closet
should be divided into three sections -the top shelf to be used for storing
the least used items, the middle shelf for most used and the bottom shelf for
larger items like bedding or cleaning items. A room- dividing closet is another
type that not only gives more storage space but also it enhances the privacy.
Under-eaves closets are made under sloping ceilings that have little headroom.
Since the space in these closets is limited, one can have boxes instead of
shelves to easily store items.
Walk-in closets are quite popular in foreign countries
but these are helpful only if enough space is available for placing them. These
serve not only as a storage space but also act as a dressing room. The great
advantage of walk-in closets is that they allow one to have a variety of
storage spaces in numerous dimensions like drawers, hanging space, shelves,
shoe racks etc., Even the ironing table and window seat could be put in, if one
is there.
After the advent of modular furniture in the modem era,
all aspects of collecting and installing cabinets and closets has become a
simple task. What one has to do is to just choose the color and design from the
innumerable choices from a catalogue and the sought after closet is ready in no
time.
Other Features:
An elementary arrangement normally most miss either to
think or incorporate, is the providing of lighting. Any closet should be
brightly lit and the position of the light is also important. The light should
not be placed at the back of a shelf, for the purpose of the light is to
illuminate the contents. The light should be placed towards the front of the
closet or even under the top shelf, while the switch should be outside the closet. Shelves are the only way to go for closets-one can use baskets, drawers and tie and belt racks also. Nowadays
when the modular furniture is readily available in the market one can quickly
and conveniently configure the closet in a variety of ways.
Closets, to utilize them fully:
So as to make more space in the closet, it should be
reorganized and should possess several levels for hanging clothes. It should be
ensured that the depth of the closet is at least 24 inches. That will have the
width which is more than a hanger, for conveniently hanging the clothes.
