Clothes help build character, which is why having a wardrobe that one can be proud of is important. However, you don’t have to rush things or spend thousands of pounds in one go.

Wardrobes are extremely versatile and can be manufactured according to any configuration. One chooses the make and model that best matches the aesthetic and space requirements.

Here are the standard measurements for the different wardrobe models.

The Hinged Wardrobes

  • The hinged wardrobes are still popular to this day.
  • They have their front doors fixed with hinges for easy access.
  • For hinged wardrobes, it is important to measure the width, depth, and size of the door.
  • Although the average depth is 60cm for a hinged wardrobe, some manufacturers offer depth options ranging from 50cm to 70cm.
  • The lintel level of the doors is determined by the height of the wardrobe, which is approximately 210-220cm.
  • Or one can also choose a full-height wardrobe – from the floor to the ceiling.
  • Moreover, this is a modular wardrobe; the measurements are as follows:
  • Two doors wardrobe dimensions are 90-120 cm
  • Three doors wardrobe dimensions are 130-180 cm

The Sliding Door Wardrobe

  • The sliding door wardrobes are ideal for smaller rooms and can be seen in modern bedrooms with a contemporary style.
  • The average depth of a sliding wardrobe is 64 cm, with an additional 4 cm so sliding panels can move freely.
  • Furthermore, each panel’s width must be 120 cm; otherwise, the doors would be too heavy to glide.

What is The Standard Size of Men’s, Women’s and Children’s Wardrobe?

Men’s Wardrobe

  • Compared to women, men do not need much hanging space for their clothes.
  • However, the average height for the hanging section must be 100 cm.
  • One should leave at least 7cm between the top and rail to add and remove the hangers easily.
  • As men also have bulky coats in their wardrobes, the depth must be 70-76cm.

Women’s wardrobe

  • Women have full-length gowns and dresses to hang; therefore, the hanger section should be at least 165-182 cm.
  • The measurements may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
  • For smaller sections, the height must be 100 cm which is used to hang tops, blouses, folded pants or skirts.

Children

Though kids’ clothes do not require much space, investing in a large wardrobe would be well-used in adulthood.

For children’s wardrobes,

  • Poles can be used to hang smaller-sized clothes, and as the children grow, you can remove the poles accordingly.
  • And for the drawers, the measurement ranges from 15 to 35cm.
