The filling in the hallway should be thought out taking into account all the features of your wardrobe. This storage system accommodates not only outerwear, but also often serves as a place for permanent maintenance of a vacuum cleaner, ironing board, iron, or even tableware for the festive table. It is especially important to think over every detail of the closet if you live in a small apartment.

What departments should be in an ideal storage system?

Today you can buy a ready-made sliding wardrobe, with the content provided by the manufacturer, or you can think over and fill the storage system with those types and rods that will be convenient for you, based on your lifestyle. Another factor influencing the internal layout of the wardrobe is the area of ​​​​the corridor. If there is enough space in your apartment to put a spacious storage system, then there is nothing to worry about, but if the hallway is not large enough, then you can create additional storage space by choosing a corner wardrobe or supplementing a standard wardrobe with mezzanines.

Before you sit down and start drawing the layout of your ideal closet, you need to think about what compartments in it will be necessary for you.

Compartment for household appliances

This compartment is usually made in the middle of the cabinet. It should be deep and wide enough to fit a model of your vacuum cleaner or any other household appliance that you are used to using all the time, but it is not intended for the eyes of strangers.

Mezzanine for storing overall blankets and pillows

Usually it is placed above the compartment for household appliances. These beddings are tucked away on the top shelves of the closet before the onset of the cold season or the arrival of guests, and they will not need to be taken out often. The width and capacity of the compartment for household appliances will be harmoniously continued on the upper tier of the cabinet and will solve the problem of storing bulky textiles.

Storage compartment for ironing board

Many often face such a problem as ironing board storage. They try to store it on the balcony (where it can be quite dusty), under the bed (which complicates the cleaning process), in the bathroom (not always the size of the bathroom allows it). If the depth of your closet is sufficient to fit a board in it, then make a small compartment of a suitable size next to the compartment for household appliances. And above it you can make a small shelf for the iron.

Storing suitcases, backpacks and travel bags

This compartment can be placed at the bottom if the overall size of the compartment allows you such luxury, but often such things are stored on the uppermost, long, roomy shelves.

Outerwear compartment

It is desirable that in addition to the wardrobe in your hallway there are also open hangers for outerwear. In the cold season, the weather is changeable, often the bright sun is replaced by heavy rain or snowfall can catch you outside. It is better not to hang wet clothes in a closed wardrobe, so as not to stain other things and not to spoil the furniture. Depending on how long the outerwear you wear, the height of the bar will be selected. If the cabinet is deep enough, then it is better to choose retractable rods. Thus, you will save space, increase storage functionality and create additional conveniences for yourself.

Compartment for bags, wallets, sports bag and purse

Depending on how many different bags you have for daily use, you should consider where to store them. It will be convenient if the bags and shoes are located in the same compartment, but the shoes are at the bottom, and the bags are at the top. For storing bags, deep shelves, pull-out baskets, a bar with hooks can be suitable, where you can hang all the bags.

Housekeeper

As a rule, the first thing that each of us does when entering his apartment is to put his bag back in place and put the keys. Then he takes off his shoes and only after that takes off his outer clothing. Therefore, it is recommended that the first compartment of the cabinet, located from the door, be made for storing bags, shoes, and place the key compartment there. When the keys have their place, then forgetting them at home, just choosing a different bag, will no longer work.

Shoe storage

Shoes are usually stored on the bottom tier of the closet. For this, sliding shelves, metal baskets, closed shoe racks are suitable. Which option is right for you depends on the number and variety of your shoes. If the dimensions of the closet allow, then you can make a compartment in the form of a honeycomb, where each cell will be designed for a specific pair of shoes.

Compartment for everyday clothes

It is not always possible to get a wardrobe or dressing room in the bedroom, so the main part of your wardrobe can be placed in the hallway. The filling of this compartment should be carefully chosen to create maximum convenience and comfort for yourself. For example, to accommodate belts, you can build in a retractable hanger designed specifically for this wardrobe item. For the convenience of choosing a suitable tie, there is an additional element - a tie. To keep your trousers from wrinkling, place them on the trouser rack. Make sure your scarves and hats find their rightful place too.

Laundry storage

For storage of linen, retractable closed shelves with distributors inside are suitable.

Storage box for miscellaneous items

Such a drawer can store shoe polish, a cleaning brush, spare hangers and other little things that are important for everyday use, but they are so difficult to keep in order.

You can store various little things in a purchased box with a lid or in a shoe box

Types of wardrobes. Pros and cons of each type

In order to decide on the choice of a sliding wardrobe suitable for your hallway, it is worth remembering all the existing types of this furniture, as well as thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

Table. Types of wardrobes.

Variety	Advantages	disadvantages
built-in	Fits perfectly in any suitable space. Embodies any design intent. Possibility to make your own.	Cannot be moved to another location.
semi-embedded	Attaches securely to the wall. Fills free niches in space.	Cannot be moved.
Corpus	Can be used to divide space into zones. Easy to disassemble, assemble and move from place to place.	Lots of free space that cannot be filled with things. Suitable for people who have few things.
Angular	The use of corners, the expansion of the useful area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe wardrobe.	Often you have to make to order, which is more expensive than other options.
Straight	Versatility and simplicity.	Suitable only for the simplest set of things. You may find that the standard design for your wardrobe is inconvenient.
Radius	Exceptional. It will fit into any interior and become its decoration.	Expensive and not always practical.
Modular	It is convenient to compose and supplement the storage system with various modules and options.	The wardrobe will be limited to those modules that are in the manufacturer's collection.

Filling straight closets

The filling of the closet depends on what exactly you are going to fill it with, how many shelves and rods you need to keep all your things in order. The traditional filling of such cabinets is one compartment with a high bar and one compartment with shelves. In this case, you will have the opportunity to hang your coat on a hanger and put your bag on a shelf.

It is desirable that the closet has not only open shelves, but also closed drawers. It will be convenient to store various small things in them and those things that it is undesirable to gather dust.

Examples of filling 3-section cabinets

Having the ability to put a storage system with three compartments in the hallway, you can distinguish between them based on what items you have more in your wardrobe. If you have a large collection of different pairs of shoes, then you can allocate the entire first compartment for storing them, adapt the second compartment for outerwear, and place your bags in the third. The three-section wardrobe allows space for a vacuum cleaner or ironing board.

If you do not have a lot of outerwear, then only one compartment can be allocated for its storage and it will be more convenient to make it in the middle compartment.

An example of a three-section wardrobe with two compartments for clothes

Such filling for the storage system in the hallway will be convenient for the family. For example, the husband's outerwear will hang in the right compartment, and the wife's outerwear will hang in the left compartment. Or in one compartment the clothes of both spouses fit, and the other compartment is allocated for storing children's clothes.

Having the opportunity to install a four-door wardrobe, you do not have to make four different compartments inside it. Due to the free space inside the cabinet, you can make the central section more spacious by combining the second and third compartments. Or vice versa, make a narrow compartment in the middle, but increase the size of the side compartments.

Filling corner wardrobes

Corner storage systems benefit from the fact that thanks to them the maximum space in the room is filled, including the corner area.

If you make a corner cabinet deep, then it turns into a mini dressing room. It is convenient to place not only a clothes rail, but also open shelves, closed drawers, shoe baskets and long upper shelves for storing suitcases or hats.

Inside the corner cabinet you can store an ironing board or a vacuum cleaner

Master Class. How to assemble and install wardrobe doors

Let's see how the process of installing compartment doors for a built-in wardrobe type takes place. In this case, the interior of the furniture is already assembled and installed, in order to use it, it is only necessary to install the doors.

Step 1. The first step is to buy or rent all the tools. In this case, you will need a screwdriver, an aluminum saw (a miter saw will be used here), a puncher equipped with a drill. Scissors and tape measure, drills and hexagons, etc. can come in handy.

Step 2 First of all, you will need to install the upper rail of the compartment system on the ceiling. To do this, you first need to measure the width of the opening (for example, from wall to wall).

Step 4 Now you need to drill holes in the profile to mount it on the ceiling. There are three pairs in total, at the beginning of the profile, in the middle and at the end. But there may be more.

Step 5 Together with an assistant, you need to lift the profile and align it along the end of the cabinet, and then fasten it with self-tapping screws. Without the help of another person, this will not be easy.

Step 6 Now you can proceed to the installation of the bottom rail for the doors. In the same way as in the case of the top rail, you first need to take measurements.

Step 7 Again, you need to mark the desired size of the rail on the metal profile, and then saw off the segment with a saw.

Step 8 Next, in the place where the rail will be mounted, you need to lay the prepared section of the profile until it is fixed. At this stage, it is required to insert compartment doors into it and make marks on the lower rail in the places where the stoppers will be installed.

Step 9 Then, after fitting, you need to install stoppers on the rail in the right places and then screw the bottom rail to the floor or the bottom of the cabinet. The bottom rail can be fixed with double-sided tape. Then, before sticking, you must first degrease the surface, and only after that glue the adhesive tape itself.

Step 10 After that, you can install the doors in place. The wheels on the bottom of the doors should fit into the corresponding grooves.

In this case, the wheels are already installed on the doors themselves. But how to fix them correctly if they were separate? There is nothing complicated here either.

Step 1. The cabinet must have special fittings. If the cabinet is made by hand, then such accessories can be bought separately in the store. It is a metal element of various types - with and without a wheel. Those that do not have wheels are mounted at the top of the door at a short distance from its side edge, but flush with the top end. You need to fasten the fittings with self-tapping screws.

Step 2 The second type of fittings, which has wheels, must be fixed at the bottom of the door so that the height is optimal. Each type of element must be fixed two pieces on each sash.

Step 4 First, the sash must be brought into the far upper rail, and then, gently lifting the door, install the wheels on the lower rail. The rest of the doors are installed similarly, but on the near rail, etc.

Attention! Depending on the type of construction, the wheels on the doors can be located both at the bottom and at the top of the cabinet.

Step 2 Take measurements of the depth and width of the space with a tape measure.

Step 3 Purchase the appropriate material from the store (wooden boards, plywood, MDF, chipboard) and fastening (furniture corner or euro screw).

Step 4 Using a jigsaw, cut the shelf to the appropriate size.

Step 5 Using a screwdriver, attach the mount on one side to the shelf, on the other side to the cabinet.

Step number 1. We are looking for the root of all troubles

Sometimes, it would seem, a capacious closet is completely inconvenient to use: there is not enough space, clothes are wrinkled, and you cannot find the right thing. Search takes a lot of time and effort! If you are faced with a similar problem, it's time to change something. Experience tells us that the first step is to get rid of everything superfluous. If after that the capacity is still not enough, it's time to take more drastic measures. There is no need to send the closet to the scrap, it is enough to work out and implement a new internal content!
Although, if the composition of the family has increased and, accordingly, the number of things, then ordering a new storage system will be the way out.
In both cases, it is necessary to first determine a number of significant factors:

• The main purpose. A closet can be created specifically for storing books, dishes, wardrobe, equipment, children's toys, linen, or something else. Although in practice, people often prefer fairly versatile options. It is obvious at the same time that the library cannot be used as a wardrobe, and vice versa.
• Wardrobe composition. Not everyone has gorgeous floor-length evening dresses or expensive fur coats that take up a good half of the closet. If you have such things, be sure to take this into account in advance.
• The number of family members. Often we want to get such a spacious closet, where the entire family wardrobe can easily fit, as well as shoes, hats, bed linen and skis. This, of course, is possible, but you will have to work on structuring the space!
• Technological opportunity. As we know, the available space can only be expanded visually. Therefore, one must be realistic and understand that if there is a niche 1 meter long and 0.5 meters deep, it cannot be turned into something that exceeds these dimensions by several times. Although this area can and should be used to the maximum!

Step number 2. We carry out an inventory

• How many shoe compartments do you need, and how will they be stored: in boxes, on wire racks or on shelves?
• How many closed and open drawers for underwear, socks and tights will be needed?
• How many sections do you need for things stored without hangers?
• How many rods do you need, taking into account long and short clothes that require the use of "hangers"?
• Do I need mezzanines for large and rarely used items?
• Should you get a pantograph to keep part of your seasonal wardrobe in the upper space?
• How many compartments do you need to store bed linen, towels, bedding?
• Do you have suitcases, backpacks, bags that you would like to keep upstairs?
• Will you store household appliances and household items (vacuum cleaner, iron, ironing board) in the closet?
• Do you dream of a built-in chest of drawers, a necktie and a trouser rack?
• What else are you going to hide in the closet?

There are many questions, but even the most talented designer or technologist will not answer them for you. Although it can suggest the best way out after the "inventory". If you have enough finances and space in the house to order a wardrobe for the hostess, a closet in the hallway for outerwear, a storage system for children's things from toys to textbooks, a separate container for household items, a library and a personal closet for the head of the family, this is wonderful! Otherwise, do the math. This will help in the development of the package.

Step number 3. Decide on the dimensions

Do you know that the width of standard "hangers" is 55 cm? So, it is this size that is the classic useful depth of the cabinet. For a summer wardrobe, 50 cm is enough, and a winter wardrobe will require at least 65 cm.
Also keep in mind that if you want a wardrobe, then you need to provide an additional 10 cm for the free use of the sliding mechanism of its doors.
If the area or configuration of the room does not allow you to install a wardrobe with the maximum possible depth, this does not mean that there will be no place to store coats, down jackets and sheepskin coats! For them, you can install a special bar and place them at a right angle. In this sense, angular structures are advantageous: their central part is much deeper than the end.

It is important to dispose of the width of the internal filling correctly. The designer can easily cope with the calculations, in addition, removable shelves or sections can be provided, the width of which is determined by the depth and purpose of the compartment.
Keep in mind that the racks can be not only horizontal, but also vertical, the bars can be end and longitudinal. At the same time, the end ones are considered less comfortable, you can hang less clothes on them than on the longitudinal ones. And the latter, in turn, can only be used if the depth of the cabinet is more than 50 cm.
Regarding the height, we note that it is limited by the parameters of the room and the entire design of the cabinet. The height should provide a comfortable placement of things, so that their lower parts do not crumple and do not lie on the floor. But even for storing long clothes, you should not take more than 2 m if a pantograph is not used.

Step number 4. Calculate the dimensions of shelves and drawers

The usual shelf length is considered to be in the range of 80-120 cm. The choice of this parameter depends on the bulkiness of the things that you plan to keep on these shelves. Accordingly, even if we are talking about large-sized things, the maximum usually reaches 120 cm.
The distance between the shelves is also calculated taking into account the size of the storage items. The minimum is 40 cm, but when storing suitcases, bags and other large accessories, the parameter is increased to 85 cm.
Do not forget about the boxes, but they are different:

• retractable;
• open and closed;
• on snap-offs;
• with recesses instead of volumetric fittings;
• with transparent walls and even backlit.

On average, the height of the box is 25 cm, and the maximum width is 100 cm. If they are arranged in a U-shape in the wardrobe, then think about leaving a distance of 60-100 cm for free passage.

Step number 5. We realize the dream of a closet with perfect content

Now you have already appreciated the complexity of the task of planning the filling of the cabinet. To make it easier for you to cope with this matter, we have provided for you the opportunity to design the internal configuration of the storage system with your own hands. Go to the "Constructor" section and experiment!
Please note that you can always take advantage of a free consultation of our designers. With the help of professionals, you will definitely become the owner of an ideal wardrobe that will be comfortable to use, roomy, practical and compact at the same time.

And, of course, with a closet from the Senator company, everything you need will always be at hand!

Proper filling of the wardrobe and the distribution of internal compartments guarantees the absence of inconvenience or discomfort during its operation. Depending on the location of the cabinet, the layout of the compartments may vary. So, nets with interchangeable shoes in large quantities will become out of place in the closet located in the nursery. And retractable glove boxes are of little use in the closet located in the bedroom.

There are no specific standards and rules for internal filling, the number of shelves, the presence of mezzanines or drawers. The project of the internal space of the closet is filled depending on the number and type of clothes, as well as on the preferences of the owner of the room.

It is important to remember that the design of the internal layout of the filling of a wardrobe for any purpose should be based on clearly calibrated measurements.

Self-assembly according to your own drawings often contributes to the practical distribution of space. The owner always knows better than to fill an empty niche, whether to create an additional empty module for installing a television monitor, or hide it with shutters.

Depending on the location, there are several templates with easily reconfigurable modules. Some tips for planning the interior fittings of built-in wardrobes:

• the quantitative number of doors, as a rule, is equal to the number of compartments, with the exception of wide doors, behind which two sections can be placed;
• the module of the wardrobe module with a bar is made wider than the compartment with shelves;
• the opening of the section for storing linen in height is no more than 40 cm, which is the most convenient option, while from 25 to 35 cm is allocated for books, depending on the printed edition;
• for the wardrobe department, the best option is to create two compartments - for a short one, with a module height from the lower partition to a bar of 100 cm, and long clothes, with a module height of 160 cm;
• mezzanines intended for large-sized things are made at least half a meter in height;
• the total depth of the cabinet, equipped with longitudinal bars, should be planned at least 65 cm, for a module with transverse bars - at least 50 cm due to the door mechanism;
• in the projects of drawers in which underwear will be stored, the dead zone must be taken into account - the frame of the compartment door mechanism so that the drawers can be pulled out freely
• the depth of the drawers is designed taking into account the presence of hinged handles, if any, the height of the front panels of the drawer should be at least 25 cm;
• to pull out the drawers, it is desirable to use a ball bearing mechanism that allows you to pull them out completely;
• shelves over 90 cm must be provided with a partition so that it does not bend;
• hanger bars, over 120 cm long, should have a design with an additional bar resting on the floor with its lower end and tied to the opposite upper shelf;
• to install baskets, shoe racks, trousers or neckties, you need to know their dimensions in advance in order to avoid falling into the internal parameters of the compartment intended for them;
• the internal lighting of the cabinet, if this does not apply to the dressing room, it is advisable to bring it to the top panel, equipping it with 12 W halogen lamps;
• for a large mezzanine, it is not advisable to make separate doors, it will fit perfectly behind the common doors;
• wardrobe compartments with rods should not be located in the outer compartments, since over time the outer modules, overloaded with things and not connected by shelves, may fall apart.

It is important to know that the filling of built-in wardrobes depends on the intended purpose of the structure, which differ in the internal composition of the sections.

Filling the closet in the bedroom

The predominance of large space in wardrobe projects for the bedroom, which determines the constant storage of bed linen and bedding. Clothes compartments, as a rule, are equipped with a pantograph - a retractable hanger bar equipped with a downward device, and a standard bar option. The pantograph allows you to maximize the use of the upper volume of the wardrobe block.

Also, the filling of the wardrobe in the bedroom consists of the following blocks, compartments and modules:

• compartment where mesh baskets are attached;
• block with the inclusion of an end or ordinary hanger;
• a panel equipped with hinged hooks for changeable and non-wrinkling clothes;
• trouser-hangers and neckties with a retractable mechanism;
• retractable multi-level drawers that store small items - cufflinks, belts, handkerchiefs;
• on one of the walls it is desirable to determine the place where the iron and folding ironing board will be hung;
• compartments for lower shoe blocks, as well as a compartment for slippers.

Filling the closet in the hallway

The specificity of some cabinet projects in the hallway lies in their non-standard dimensions. The optimal width of the built-in furniture of this plan corresponds to only 0.4 meters with standard parameters of 0.6 m. For such narrow wardrobes, mounting of transverse bars for hanging hangers is provided.

The correct filling project for such a cabinet will allow you to place the maximum number of things in the cabinet. It is very important to have a modular unit in the hallway that allows you to store seasonal clothes, as well as a separate overall section in the lower location of the shoe cabinet.

Shouldn't be forgotten that the excessive workload of the closet in the hallway with irrational design of sections leads to a loss of functionality of the object.

Shoes for daily use are stored on mesh shelves, which are fixed at an angle for better ventilation. Seasonal shoes are stored on the mezzanine or placed on regular shelves, packed in boxes.

It is necessary to provide for all the little things, including the presence of small drawers - glove boxes, in which many necessary things are stored, located only in the hallway. These are shoe products and cleaning creams, shoe and clothes brushes, auxiliary shoe horns, keys.

It is desirable to include sections for long-term storage of seasonal items and clothes, as well as modules for additional shelves or voluminous drawers in the internal design of the cabinet.

Filling the closet in the nursery

To ensure the safety of the child and teach him order, the filling of the closet in the nursery is selected most carefully.

The upper zone is temporarily reserved for the needs of adults. The lower compartments are designed in such a way that the child has access to his personal belongings. The modules are created in such a way that as they grow up, the child can independently use the entire closet.

Lifting and sliding mechanisms are selected from simple but reliable systems that are inaccessible for disassembly by children's hands. Discomfort in using retractable drawers for a small person should be completely absent so that the child can easily pull them out repeatedly, without fear that one of the mechanisms will break.

Filling the wardrobe photo of the internal layout

Built-in furniture is created for a comfortable existence and rational use of the entire area of ​​the room. The main criterion for planning the filling of the closet is its location in the home. We present a series of photos of the interior layout and design of cabinets for various purposes.

Wardrobe: the location of the shelves inside

The capacity of the cabinet depends on the layout of the interior space. On correctly installed shelves, 60-70% of the contents are placed. Consider the rules for arranging the cabinet.

Rational use of space

The sliding wardrobe is popular due to its spaciousness and the ability to combine internal modules. The distribution of the filling depends on the purpose / location of the furniture. Before buying, you need to know what will be stored on the shelves and correctly plan the internal contents of the cabinet.

It is important to understand the principle of distribution of internal space - this will facilitate the layout. Any cabinet is divided into three zones: upper, middle, lower. Based on this, the layout of the internal parts takes place.

There are no specific standards for the location of accessories inside the cabinet. The design of the filling depends on a combination of factors: the number of family members, location, purpose, as well as on the lifestyle, habits and height of the owners.

A photo	Description
	Top space distribution The upper part is called the mezzanine. It can start at the level of 180 cm and end under the ceiling of the room, it is 220 cm or more up to 320. Considerable height creates difficulties in using this space. Rarely used items are stored in the mezzanine compartment. The top of the cabinet is usually 40–60 cm high. Large items are placed here: suitcases, bags with seasonal clothes, blankets, etc. There are no shelves in the mezzanine, but if it is planned to store boxes and non-voluminous things, then one shelf or pull-out baskets for small items can be made.
	Middle section distribution The most user-friendly is the middle. It occupies about 50% of the entire space, everything is in front of your eyes and accessible. In the middle part they make niches for hangers and shelves.
	Distribution of the bottom The height of the lower compartment ranges from 40 to 70 cm. The filling can be different: shelves, pull-out mesh baskets and drawers. The main purpose is shoes, small things.

Choosing fillers and accessories

Effective use of the internal volume of the closet helps fixtures and their correct location. Accessories for the organization are selected according to the size of the wardrobe, the number of sections and things.

The standard wardrobe has pull-out shelves, a compartment for hangers, drawers. Depending on the availability of space, additional sections are created in the form of shelves-slats. They are classified according to their purpose:

• skirts,
• shirts,
• belts,
• trousers,
• ties,
• hats.

Such departments can be stationary or mobile. Mechanical devices make things more accessible, help to rationally use space.

Shelves, hanger rods, drawers, mechanical devices are called cabinet fittings. Let's consider the most necessary.

Hangers and crossbars

Wrinkled clothes are usually stored on hangers. In the wardrobe, separate sections with crossbars for hangers are allocated for this, they are placed horizontally in two ways: along the length of the cabinet or perpendicularly.

• The first option is possible with a cabinet depth of 60 cm. The crossbar located along the cabinet saves space, helps to accommodate more clothes and allows you to see all the contents at once.
• Perpendicular placement or end, used in shallow cabinets 40–45 cm. This is a less convenient option, in which only the first hanger is visible. A retractable mechanism is often used for the end bracket.

Crossbars / brackets are usually arranged in the middle part. An unconventional arrangement is also possible - a pantograph. This bar lowering device allows you to use the top of the cabinet for hangers.

The mechanism has a handle with which the bar with hangers is extended and lowered to a comfortable level.

The pantograph is mounted during assembly, if you want to install it in an existing wardrobe, then you need to buy a device according to the size of the section or adjust the internal partitions to fit the mechanism.

Shelves and drawers

There are no cabinets without shelves and drawers - this is a necessary filling attribute. Their sizes depend on what you are going to store, so they are located in different ways. The minimum gap between the shelves is 30 cm. The width and depth depend on the section in which they are located.

Drawers can be solid solid wood, laminated chipboard or breathable metal/plastic mesh. Mesh options allow you to see the contents and provide air access to things.

Compact storage devices

Modern sliding wardrobes are capacious and as comfortable as possible, as mechanisms are mounted in them. Before buying or ordering a cabinet, you need to have an idea about the most necessary and rational storage devices:

A photo	Description

Bags are stacked on shelves or hung on brackets/hooks. Tights, socks, underwear are rolled up and placed in a box with cells.

Dresses, jackets, raincoats, fur coats and other things that require a delicate attitude are hung on hangers. Organizer boxes or honeycomb sections are ideal for jewelry, small items.
