When coming home in winter, there are two things that are most headache-inducing. First, there is nowhere to put the clothes taken off, and at this time, one misses the semi-clean clothes area extremely. Second, it is found that the wardrobe at home is really difficult to use. The hanging area is too short. For longer windbreakers and cardigans, the bottoms are piled up in a mess. Sweaters are soft and not easy to stack, and when hung up, they will form “right-angled shoulders”.
The layout design is unreasonable, and socks, scarves, and hats are stuffed everywhere in every nook and cranny. Every time this happens, I just pull out all the clothes in one go and then curse while organizing: The money spent on the wardrobe at that time was just like water in my head. When trying to find good storage methods online, it is found that everyone is complaining: Nine out of ten wardrobes have a useless layout! With great expectations for making a wardrobe, but end up disappointed. Whether it is a finished wardrobe or a customized wardrobe, the internal structure is actually very simple, just stacking grids + hanging areas + drawers.The design of stacking grids is a very magical existence. Since humans started using wardrobes, it has been the foundation. I don’t know what the usage experience of our ancestors was like, but anyway, in the homes of the post-80s and post-90s, it has been constantly criticized but never phased out. “Pull one hair and move the whole body” is the best description of the storage of stacking grids. After spending several hours carefully folding clothes and putting them in, it only takes 3 minutes before going out in the morning. After rummaging through, they return to a messy state. Good clothes will even “disappear without a trace”. When you buy the same style to replenish, one day it suddenly pops out of the cabinet, giving you a pleasant surprise.

All clothes are only hung and not folded, saving a lot of repeated organizing processes. It is clear at a glance when looking for clothes. However, this design is very demanding on size control. If it is made too low, there is not enough space to hang long clothes. If it is made too high, the space will be wasted. For small-sized apartments with insufficient storage space, the fully hanging wardrobe is not very friendly either. In the same size of space, the storage capacity of hanging is much less than that of stacking, and the clothes hanging rod cannot reach the top, otherwise it will be out of reach of the hanger. Source: Xiaohongshu As for the drawers of the wardrobe, they have always been in a dispensable state. I personally think they are quite useful. It is very convenient to store small items such as underwear, socks, scarves, and belts. However, its disadvantages are also obvious. The space utilization rate is very small, and the internal height is at least halved. If it is too shallow, not much can be placed. If it is too thick, it is similar to the storage of stacking grids. Making drawers and handles requires extra money, and they are also prone to hiding dirt. If things are placed too full, they will fall from the inside.

We can take a page from the post-2000s generation, whose wardrobes are designed with a growth mindset. Traditional wardrobe layouts often fall short, as they are based on static thinking. Custom wardrobes are typically completed before moving into a new home, with few people taking the time to catalog their family’s clothing items, recording dimensions and quantities, and planning space accordingly. Even for those who are meticulous, there are too many variables to consider, as our storage needs for wardrobes change over time. At least twice a year, we need to reorganize our wardrobes, bringing out seasonal clothing and storing away the off-season items. The storage solutions needed for thin spring and summer clothes differ from those for thick autumn and winter garments, and the planning for space should also differ accordingly. Clothes are consumables, and as we acquire new clothes and discard old ones each year, the quantity, length, and thickness of clothes in our wardrobes change, making it difficult to design the perfect proportions at the beginning of the renovation. This has led to a phenomenon in many homes: controlling the turnover of clothes based on the wardrobe layout, with people conforming to the wardrobe rather than the wardrobe serving people. Is this the right approach? Everyone has an answer in their hearts, but they are at a loss for solutions. A truly reasonable wardrobe layout requires a growing storage space, which is where the ‘metal wardrobe’ comes into play. 1.21 Zhufanx & Bona Metal Wardrobes – Scan the code below to add our group buying assistant. If you haven’t been introduced to it before, the name might be misleading, suggesting a wardrobe made of metal, similar to a metal cabinet. In reality, metal wardrobes are not a material branch of traditional wardrobes like metal cabinets, solid wood cabinets, or particleboard cabinets. Instead, they represent a new type of storage method that overturns traditional wardrobes. Removable rods, shelves, baskets, and trouser racks replace fixed hanging areas, offering endless possibilities like wall-mounted LEGO, with less limitation on planning area and higher utilization of nooks and crannies, almost no internal space is wasted. Even after installation and occupancy, the height and length of the components are not fixed and can be flexibly adjusted according to the quantity of clothes. In addition, metal wardrobes have many advantages – low cost, short construction time,-free, and easy to clean since there is no base, making it convenient for routine cleaning with a vacuum cleaner.
