Only an ergonomically designed walk in shoe closet can create the best user experience. According to human behavior and practical comfort and convenience research by Casa Custom, the walk in shoe closet height is divided into five areas.
Under 300mm shoe closets
1、Under 300mm
This area is generally used for storing commonly used shoes, and the cabinet is designed to be open so that you can quickly change your shoes when you go out.
2、Between 300-1000mm
This area is lower than the human sight, generally access to commonly used items. Including seasonal shoes, bags, and keys.
The position below 650mm is suitable for storage of short boots, boots, and other needs due to bending down or squatting to access.
800-1000 area set up drawers, easy to take and put keys and other small items.
Between 1000-1500 shoe drawers
3、1000-1500mm
This area is convenient to access items, high frequency of use, generally used to store seasonal shoes with walk in closet shoe shelves.
Where a 1000-1200mm high location is suitable to set the dressing top, can be placed in common bags.
4、1500-1850mm
This area is parallel or slightly higher than the human line of sight, and access to items is convenient, and generally used for storing seasonal shoes.
If this shoe cabinet is set with a dressing top, it is recommended to store shoe boxes in this area; if you store shoes, when you take shoes, there is a possibility of falling ash onto the countertop.
5、1850mm or above
The human arm is stretched upwards above the fingertip range, this area is inconvenient to store items, the frequency of use is not high, generally stores uncommon items, such as seasonal shoes.
The core function of the shoe closet is to store shoes, the design should first meet the necessary amount of shoe storage, and then consider adding other items to the storage needs and additional functions of the shoe cabinet.
With dressing top, shoe stool, hanging rack, or other functional design will significantly weaken the shoe storage capacity of shoe cabinets. So Casa Custom recommends taking the most suitable design for the best shoe storage for walk in closet by your home.
