We also recommend that you measure how much room your clothes take up with your current storage area. This will help you decide what you need to dedicate most space to in your new closet. We recommend that you start by making a check list of everything you require storage space for, in order of importance.
Is it for one person or two? What will you require storage for? Dresses? Shoes? Toys? Folded garments? Whatever it is, make sure you consider this before you start designing.
Firstly, think of who is going to be using the closet. Now that you have all of the measurements that you require, it's time to start planning. This will allow you to determine how much space you have either side of the entry way, so that you don't cramp the space, and also whether or not you can fix the ends of shelves here for additional support. We recommend you do the same either side of any doorways. We've measured the space above and below to determine whether or not we can place further items here. In our example, we have placed a window along the rear wall. Measure the dimensions of these obstacles, but more importantly the space around them. Make sure that any obstacles, such as windows/ radiators/ doors/ picture rails etc.
These typically will be adjacent to doorways or at low level so won't get in the way of fixings, but it is important you think about where the cable will be in the wall behind these items so that when you come to install they do not pose a risk. Also note the position of any light switches/ sockets. Measure the height, and width of each wall. This is because it will give you a good overall idea of the space that you will be left with once garments are in place, and it will also help you determine whether or not you can fix shelves at each side onto adjacent walls for support. You'll need to measure each wall in the enclosure, and we recommend that you do this regardless of whether or not you plan to place any shelving/ hanging sections along every wall. All measurements are shown in imperial and metric units to make it easy for you, whichever you feel more comfortable with. Before you start planning your space, you need to ensure you have all the correct measurments. Not ready to give it a go on your own?
