How to calculate office wardrobe capacity?
Focus on the day of maximum attendance during the cold season and take guests into account. Thick jackets take up more space than suits, so the number of hangers cannot be equated to usable capacity.
For a hybrid office, the wardrobe can be shared, but it is better to separate personal items into lockers.
What should be inside the closet?
You need a bar of suitable height, a shelf for hats, a place for long clothes and, if necessary, shoes. Hooks are convenient for a short visit, but do not replace hangers for a full day of work.
Internal dimensions are checked using actual hangers and clothing, not just the external width of the closet.
How to solve the issue of ventilation and wet clothes?
The closed cabinet must be ventilated according to the manufacturer's design. A separate area is useful for wet clothes so that moisture does not get to dry things and documents.
Do not place the wardrobe close to the ventilation grilles and do not block engineering access.
Where should the wardrobe be located?
The best location is along the route from the entrance to the work areas, but outside the narrow lobby. Systems are presented in PoMo storage categories.
