The depth of the wardrobe should also be to up to 650 milimetres to ensure that wide clothes do not get caught in the doors. Also, check that the hanging rods do not sag with the clothes on them.

Hinged doors are not expected to open onto hanging light fittings, other furniture and the doorways. Keeping the doors off the doorways will help to avoid collision. It is also necessary to keep it clear from the windows.

Where cornices are used, the wardrobe should not be as high as the cornice to prevent interference with the beauty of the plasterwork.
