Rods and shelves in your home are often debated about their height. Many people have differing opinions about this subject, and no one is right or wrong. However, you can be sure of one thing: you should be the one who decides what is best for your space! The best arrangement depends on finding the right balance between practicality and personal preference. Here are some tips you can follow to get those pesky things just the way you want them!

Step 1: Measure the space first

It is crucial to understand what you are working with before selecting the rods and shelves you will be installing. In this way, both the rods and the shelves can be ordered with the correct accessories and lengths.

The Second Tip is to Plan the Design of Your Closet

Your home can have two different types of closets. The closets can be either walk-ins or reach-ins. Your choice will depend on the space you have to spare for the wardrobe. In the walk-in closet, you could store half your bedroom’s belongings, while in the reach-in closet, you can squeeze yourself into one corner.

It is now evident that a walk-in closet is actually a combination of many reach-in closets, some with doors and some without. As this section is primarily about height, the ideal height would be from the floor to the ceiling. It’s usually around 8 feet wide. Furthermore, placing the rods too high won’t be practical. Instead, use shelves to partition your closet and place the rods at a level you can reach. Say 5 above ground.

Choose the dimensions of the closet type you want

Because each walk-in closet is unique, there are no standard sizes. It doesn’t matter what builders do, they all follow the same general guidelines. Reach-in closets are combined with walk-in closets. Fitted Dressing Rooms may consider these dimensions:

Long rectangles measuring 48-inches wide

6 feet long

24 inches deep

80-inch high door
