Wardrobes are 600 mm deep for hanging, 2,100–2,400 mm high, with a long hanging rail at 1,700–1,800 mm and shelves every 300–400 mm. Depth is the dimension that decides whether a coat hangs straight; height decides whether the top shelf is usable. A walk-in needs a 900 mm aisle to work.
600 mm depth for hanging; 550 mm is the practical minimum.
Wardrobe height is 2,100–2,400 mm.
Long hanging rail at 1,700–1,800 mm; double hanging at about 1,000 and 1,800.
Shelves every 300–400 mm.
Walk-in aisle of 900–1,000 mm, 600 mm minimum.
1. Profondeur
| Utilisez le | Profondeur | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Vêtements suspendus | 600 mm | Standard, door included |
| Hanging, tight | 550 mm | Coats may angle |
| Shelves only | 400 – 500 mm | Linen, shoes |
| Porte coulissante | 650 – 700 mm | Track needs depth |
Sliding doors need extra depth for the track, usually 50–100 mm more than a hinged wardrobe. That is the hidden cost of a sliding system in a tight room.
2. Hauteur
Wardrobes run 2,100–2,400 mm. Full height to the ceiling looks built-in but needs a scribe at the top and careful measurement. A 2,100 mm wardrobe leaves a gap above that collects dust and looks unfinished unless a bulkhead closes it.
3. Hanging and shelving
| Adrénaline | Hauteur | Utilisez le |
|---|---|---|
| Longue suspension | 1,700 – 1,800 mm | Coats, dresses |
| Double hanging top | 1,800 mm | Chemises, vestes |
| Double hanging bottom | 1,000 mm | Pantalons, jupes |
| Étagères | 300 – 400 mm | Folded, linen |
| Guide d'ajustement | 150 – 250 mm | Accessoires |
Double hanging doubles capacity in the same footprint. It suits shirts and trousers but not coats, so most wardrobes mix both.
4. Hinged versus sliding
Hinged doors need swing clearance in front, usually 600 mm. Sliding doors need no swing but need track depth and a clear run. In a small bedroom, sliding buys the swing space; in a large one, hinged is simpler and cheaper. The wardrobe internals guide covers the fitting options.
5. Walk-in clearances
A walk-in aisle should be 900–1,000 mm, with 600 mm the absolute minimum for one user. Below 600 mm the doors cannot open fully and the space becomes storage rather than a room. Allow extra where two people pass.
6. Système métrique et système impérial
| Produit | Métrique | Imperial |
|---|---|---|
| Profondeur | 600 mm | 24 " |
| Hauteur | 2,400 mm | 94 " |
| Long rail | 1,750 mm | 69 " |
| Rayon | 900 mm | 36 " |
Pick one system for the drawing and note the other for reference.
7. Specifying a wardrobe
State depth, height, rail heights, shelf spacing, door type and internal fittings. A wardrobe that is right in depth but wrong in rail height wastes the top third of the space. The guide de toilette et de lessive covers the adjacent wet areas.
8. Checking the fit
Check the door swing, the rail height, the top shelf reach and the aisle together. A wardrobe can be the right size and still be uncomfortable because the top shelf is above eye level or the door hits the bed.
9. Une liste de vérification avant de s'engager
Avant de signer, veuillez confirmer six points : la qualité du circuit imprimé, le modèle de matériel, le système de finition, les normes d’emballage, le périmètre d’inspection et les modalités de paiement. Chaque point doit être confirmé par écrit, et non par téléphone. La liste de vérification du devis permet de synthétiser ces six éléments en un tableau comparatif d’une seule page.
10. Erreurs courantes
L'erreur la plus fréquente consiste à comparer le prix d'usine avec le coût final. La deuxième est d'omettre l'inspection du budget. La troisième est de payer le solde avant la validation de l'inspection. Chacune de ces erreurs est évitable grâce à un cahier des charges écrit et une inspection avant expédition.
11. Comment mesurer la pièce
Mesurez chaque mur en trois points : en haut, au milieu et en bas, et retenez la plus petite mesure. Les murs sont rarement d'équerre, et une courbure de 10 mm sur trois mètres modifie le remplissage. Mesurez le plafond à chaque angle et repérez les prises électriques, les radiateurs et les canalisations d'évacuation avant de dessiner. Un relevé précis est plus rapide qu'un dessin, et le guide de mesure est fourni avec une fiche imprimable.
Foire aux questions
What is the standard wardrobe depth?
600 mm for hanging clothes, 550 mm minimum. Below 550 mm, coats sit at an angle and the door catches the shoulder.
How high should a wardrobe be?
2,100–2,400 mm. Full height to the ceiling looks built-in but needs a scribe at the top; 2,100 mm leaves a gap that collects dust.
What height should the hanging rail be?
1,700–1,800 mm for long hanging. For double hanging, two rails at about 1,000 mm and 1,800 mm.
How much space between shelves?
300–400 mm for folded clothes, 400 mm for linen. Adjustable shelves are worth the small extra cost.
How wide should a walk-in aisle be?
900–1,000 mm preferred, 600 mm absolute minimum for a single user. Below 600 mm the doors cannot open fully.
What is the maximum width for a sliding door panel?
600–900 mm per panel. Wider panels are heavier and the track wears faster.
