Notes: Volumes computed as width×height×depth×quantity ÷ 1000. Used volume multiplies by category fill factor. Reserve void reduces total usable volume.

Formulas Used
  • Total Volume (L) = Width × Height × Depth ÷ 1000, adjusted by reserve void.
  • Section Volume (L) = w × h × d × qty ÷ 1000.
  • Used Volume (L) = Section Volume × Fill Factor.
  • Utilization (%) = 100 × Σ(Used Volume) ÷ Usable Volume.
  • Short-hang capacity (items)Rod Length (cm) ÷ spacing.
  • Folded capacity (items)Shelf stack height ÷ folded item height, times stacks.
Units: centimeters for dimensions; liters for volumes. One liter equals 1000 cubic centimeters.
Reference Data: Typical Dimensions & Clearances
ElementRecommended RangeNotes
Short-hang rod height100–110 cmShirts, blouses, jackets; allow hangers clearance.
Long-hang rod height150–170 cmDresses, coats; avoid hem drag above floor.
Double-hang vertical spacing95–105 cmBetween upper and lower rods.
Usable shelf spacing28–35 cmSweaters, jeans; add dividers for tall stacks.
Drawer internal height12–25 cm12–18 cm socks/underwear; 18–25 cm sweaters.
Shoe shelf depth30–35 cmMost pairs fit sideways at 30–32 cm.
Clear interior depth≥ 55 cmEnsure clearance behind doors and hardware.
Guidelines vary by hanger size, garment length, and hardware tolerances.

FAQs

It represents how much of a section’s volume is realistically used once you consider hangers, gaps, hardware, and access. Typical values range from 0.6–0.8.

Use the “Double Hang 60” module which adds two short-hang rows sized for stacked rods.

Yes. If sliding tracks or hinges intrude, reduce the depth input to the clear interior depth behind the doors.

Yes. Treat each bay or module as a section row with its specific dimensions and category, or add modules repeatedly.

Aim for 70–85%. Leaving some free volume makes daily access smoother and allows seasonal variation.

They use your spacing assumptions for rods, folded stack height for shelves, and shoe depth for pairs. Adjust assumptions to match your garments.
