A wardrobe is useful for hanging clothes such as coats, jackets, shirts, dresses, and even skirts to avoid wrinkling. This storage accessory comes in different models that vary by their material and shape to meet all needs.
Fabric wardrobes have some characteristics to know:
- they are available in different colors for a harmonious decoration;
- they are intended to accommodate bulky clothes or made from fabrics that easily wrinkle;
- their coating made of nylon or non-woven fabric is not afraid of moisture (washable);
- their strength is due to their steel structure;
- closed models are equipped with velcro strips or zippers;
- some versions are mounted on wheels to facilitate their movement when necessary;
- certain models are fitted with shelves to accommodate other clothing.
Clothes stands are also available to hang clothes:
- they can be made of wood (especially bamboo) or metal;
- they are open;
- some models are equipped with wheels;
- others are foldable, allowing for optimal space saving in the room when not in use;
- some versions are adjustable in height to fit the clothes;
- double models have two clothing racks.
Clothes rails can be installed in unused spaces. They have characteristics to know:
- they are made of steel to ensure their durability;
- they have a round or oval shape;
- they come with fixing kits made of steel or zamak;
- some fixing kits are open to make it easy to remove the rail if needed.
Some criteria should be kept in mind when choosing a wardrobe.
- The height depends on the clothes to be hung. The bar must be situated 90 cm or 1 m from the floor or from the bottom shelf for shirts, at 110 cm for jackets, at 120 cm for trousers, and at 160 cm for dresses or coats.
- The load capacity varies from one model to another but can reach up to 20 kg for the strongest ones.
Thus, the choice of a wardrobe essentially depends on the available space (to install bars or a cabinet) and the needs of the user (types of clothes to hang).
