There is nothing more practical and interesting than having your belongings in one place, everything organized and easily accessible. Often portrayed in movies and soap operas, the closet brings the satisfaction of leaving your clothes and accessories organized and arranged beautifully, without clutter.
Available in the most varied sizes and offering several possibilities of organization, these clothes organizers depend on the owner's routine and on the quantity of items to be stored. They can be presented either with more elaborate joinery or with simple shelves and cabinets. Everything depends on the customer's taste and budget.
If in the past this space was the dream of many women, nowadays modern men also desire the practicality and beauty of having their clothes arranged in a closet. A functional and versatile environment, it has everything to stop being a space only desired and to conquer space in Brazilian homes as well.
How to build a closet at home
When it is time to build a closet, there are a few items that must be taken into consideration. The space available is one of them. If there is an unoccupied room in your home, this can be a great option to build a fancy closet in that space. If there isn't, there is no problem either. You can take advantage of an old closet or even add some clothes racks in that special corner of your room. To do thisit is worth understanding the difference between these options and finding out which cabinet is right for you.

As for the minimum space, Ana Adriano, interior designer, reveals some measurements: "it depends on the type of closet you are putting, closets with sliding doors have a depth between 65 and 70cm, with swing doors, 60cm, and only the closet box, without doors, 50cm. This is a rule because a hanger needs a 60cm deep gap, otherwise the shirts will get wrinkled".
The professional also explains that the smallest comfortable measure of circulation is 1m, and if there is a space that allows a larger measure of use, you can consider using doors, otherwise it is better if there is only the main door: "The ideal is that closets with reduced spaces do not have doors".

In relation to the organization and arrangement of the pieces, the designer clarifies that this depends a lot on the client, so when thinking about the distribution of spaces in a closet, one must take into account the client's height, his or her dressing routine and preferences when folding the clothes: "A client who works out every day must have these pieces at hand, as well as men who wear suits at work,In short, this organization depends on the user's routine, that's why a closet project is also a personalized project", she emphasizes.
Ambient lighting and ventilation
Another very important item: the lamp used must have a good definition of colors so that there is no confusion in the real colors of the pieces. For this, the professional suggests the use of chandeliers and directional spots. "The ventilation of the closet will prevent mold on clothes. We can use natural ventilation, coming from a window, or devices that do mechanical ventilation. They help a lot!
Use of mirrors and stool
Another item that helps a lot, but is only valid if there is room for it, is the stool.
Cabinetry measurements
Although this item varies according to the space available for its assembly, the interior designer suggests some measures so that the closet can perform its functions with mastery. Check it out:
- The drawers usually vary in size according to their function. For jewelry or lingerie, drawers between 10 and 15 cm high are sufficient, for shirts, shorts and bermudas, drawers between 17 and 20 cm. For heavier clothes, such as coats and woollens, drawers with 35 cm or more are ideal.
- Hangers should be about 60 cm deep, so the sleeves of shirts and jackets will not get massed. The heights vary from 80 to 140 cm, to separate pants, shirts and dresses, both short and long.
- As for the shelves, the ideal is that they should be between 20 and 45 cm high, depending on their function.
Closet with or without doors?
I personally prefer closets with doors, some glass doors and at least one mirror door", reveals the professional. According to her, open closets mean exposed clothes, so the ones that stay on the shelves and hangers should be keptbagged or with shoulder protectors so that dust does not accumulate.
Recommended Materials for Closet Assembly
The designer reveals that the most commonly used materials are wood, MDF or MDP for the cabinet's boxes, drawers, and shelves, while the doors, in addition to these materials, can be made of glass, be covered in mirrors, or even wallpaper.
There are some companies that specialize in producing this type of special furniture. Among them are Closet & Cia, Mr. Closet, and Super Closets.
