Boston Wardrobes Walk-in Wardrobe Owner’s Manual
Walk-in Wardrobe
Whether adding a wardrobe as part of a renovation or including one in your new
home, it’s important to ensure that your wardrobe will provide for your unique
storage needs.
This guide has been created to give you the information you need when planning
your walk in wardrobes for a renovation or new home.
Boston Wardrobes is a NZ owned company with more than 35 years experience designing and installing wardrobes, giving you peace of mind that your project will be completed to the highest standard. We are proud of producing quality, durable products that improve your life and elevate your space.
The Space
**How much space sould you allow?
**
The most critical part of planning your new walk-in is knowing how big it will need to be to work effectively. We all vary in how many things we need to store and therefore how much space we need but some simple ground rules can go a long way towards having a successful outcome.
We recommend at least 2400mm of wall space per person.
We recommend 600mm internal depth.
Suit jackets and coats require 600mm of internal depth.
We recommend 400mm as the minimum shelf depth and width.
Folded garments are typically 350 mm wide/deep.
The Space Ensuring optimal access
Running hanger rails into the corners of your wardrobe is much more
practical and less costly than fitting corner shelving.
Hanging clothing can protrude as much as 600mm into the room. We recommend
allowing an additional 100mm for easy viewing and access when planning units
either side
Windows & skylights?
Natural or strong artificial light tends to accelerate colour fading of
clothing. As a general rule we don’t recommend windows or skylights
particularly if direct sunlight will come through them. If there is no option
then consider adding a UV blocker to help reduce the harshness of the light.
Soft artificial lighting is the best for most situations
Walk-in Wardrobe Fundamentals
Hanging
The most common type of hanging is double hanging. Double hanging allows you
to maximize the amount of clothes you can store by having one hanger rail
above another, so long as an overall height of at least 2.1 metres is
available. To store longer items such as dresses and coats, long hanging and ¾
hanging are also important. These can be set at custom heights depending on
your requirements
Shelving
Shelving is important as some garments, such as woolen jumpers, are best kept
on an open shelf. We recommend a shelving depth of 400mm.
Drawers
Drawers serve several purposes in a wardrobe. You need them for storing under-
garments, socks, t-shirts, sports gear and nightwear. It’s not uncommon to
also desire a nick-knacks drawer or jeweler drawer.
All drawers come with soft close runners and are offered in different depths.
Shoes
There are many different options available for the storage of shoes. When
considering which solution will be best for you, keep in mind that women’s
shoes typically require a shelf width of 180- 200mm per pair and men’s dress
shoes typically require a shelf width of 230- 250mm per pair.
Standard depth for shoe shelves is typically 300mm
