Adsibob Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Ours has been designed at an internal depth of 550mm. It will just be for coats and outdoor stuff. It is almost 2m wide and full height (with drawers for shoes and boots underneath and too hung cupboards on top. It would be much more convenient for the layout of our hallway if we could reduce the 550mm dimension slightly. How much can we reduce it by before this gets to feel cramped?

JamesP Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 550mm is probably the minimum. Coat hanger width is average 450mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 600 is the norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuff27 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Ours is 600 deep as our kitchen fitter made them out of the same carcasses he used for the kitchen. Our kitchen/dining/living room has a 1.8m wide opening to the hall (no doors) so the storage unit matches the kitchen units & island. Anything less than 600 would be too tight for winter coats.

Blooda Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Assuming you are having a rail - given it it 2m wide can you turn them round. at 400 depth this would give you 800 length of rail but you should have enough head room to have 2 rails each side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramco Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) Check out the IKEA wardrobe systems. They do the same thing for their cabinets that are only about 400 deep. Simon Edited January 11, 2023 by Bramco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adsibob Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yes, I was thinking about that. I have an ikea wardrobe which is 580mm deep internally and it's just big enough for even the biggest outdoor coat i have. So I'm thinking that an alternative is to arrange the wardrobe as being wider but shallower and turning the orientation of the hanging rails. Not as practical though, as you can't see very far behind the first couple of coats at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much what we are doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceverge Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hooks, hooks are the way to go. We're all manically busy people, nobody has the time to fiddle with hangers in the 21st century. Put a few rows on the back and side wall. 300mm depth would do you then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
