The other materials with shoes are socks, shoe polish, brushes.
Mirror for dressing.
Place for keeping cosmetics and perfumes.
Place for keeping daily use clothes like salwar suits(10 ), jeans, t-shirts in hanging position
(approximately 50 clothes).
Place for keeping woolen clothes(8 cardigans).
Place for keeping party wear or special occasion clothes.
Place for keeping lingerie.
4. Space Required For Stocking Those Requirements.
1. Area needed for hanging salwar suits (10)
Space needed for hanging one salwar suit = L x B
= 48” x 1 ½”
= 72 sq. inch
2. Area needed for hanging daily wear t-shirts
Space needed for keeping one t-shirt = L x B
= 1’6” x 1”
= 18 sq. inch
Length of the rod is 1’5”.
From both the sides of the rod ½” has to be left. According to the standards one salwar suit requires 1 ½” of rod this means on
the rod of 1’4” client can hang her 10 salwar suits and after that she will be left with 1”.
Length of the rod is 1’5”.
From both the sides of the rod 1/2” has to be left. One cloth requires 1” of the rod for hanging. According to this client can hang 12
daily wear clothes. Still 2” space is left on rod.
5. Space Required For Stocking Those Requirements.
3. Area needed for keeping woolen clothes
Space needed for keeping one cardigan = L x B
= 1’ x 2’’
= 24 sq. inch
4. Area needed for keeping shoes ( 6 pairs of flat shoes)
Area needed for keeping one pair of shoe = L x B
= 9” X 10”
= 90 sq. inch
One cardigan requires 1’ x 10” area and has 2” height when folded. If kept upon other client can keep 4 to 5 cardigans in one rack and two racks 8
of her cardigans can be kept easily.
One pair of footwear requires 0.55 sq. ft. According to this client can keep 6 pair of foot wears in that drawer , she can keep her socks
and i shoe polish and brush in other partition.
6. Space Required For Stocking Those Requirements.
5. Area needed for keeping soft shirts
Space needed for keeping one soft shirt = L x B
= 2’ x 10 ”
= 240 sq. inch
6. Area needed for hanging trousers (8 trousers)
Space needed for keeping one trouser = L x B
= 2’ x 2”
= 48 sq. inch
Length of the rod is 1’5”.
From both the sides of the rod 1/2” has to be left. One trouser requires 2” of the rod for hanging. According to this client can hang 8

One folded shirt requires 1” height , height of the rack is 1’. According to this client can keep her 10 soft shirts.
7. Space Required For Stocking Those Requirements.
7. Area needed for hanging party wear
Space needed for keeping one part wear = L x B
= 43” x 2”
= 86 sq. inch
8. Area needed for keeping socks
Space needed for keeping one socks = L x B
= 4” x 2.5”
= 10 sq. inch
Length of the rod is 1’5”.
From both the sides of the rod ½” has to be left. One party wear requires 1 ½ ”- 2” of the rod for hanging. According to this client can hang 8 party wear
clothes.
Partition for keeping socks is of 11.5” x 6” , client can keep her 8 pair of socks in 4 rows i.e. two pair of socks in each.
8. Space available for space planning:-
• Linear space available-
L x B = 6’ x 2’ = 12 sq.ft.
• Inner space (volume) available-
L x B x H = 6’ x 2’ x 6’ = 72 cu.ft.
9.
10. To create any design I need to focus on the principles of elements of
design. For the space planning over here I mainly focused on balance
in a design with the basic elements shape which is very rightly said
“Form Follows Function”.
In the subsequent slides you will come across the space planning
created by me for my client.
11. For any adult user for a wardrobe the standard size required is 5
linear feet. Keeping into mind the requirement of my client and
space provided I created an elevation for my design.
In my design I have utilized 6 linear feet on floor.

22. As an Interior Designer this project on space planning has made me aware that a
space of 6’ x 2’x 6’ (L x B x H) has been made more functional by creating more space
from the space provided to us.
I have created 63 cu. ft. in this space.
Estimated No. Of Boards Required In The Making Of Closet :
Area Of Closet / Area Of One Board = No. Of Boards Required
199.3 / 32 = 6.22 Boards (i.e. 6 Boards)
One Extra Board
