Completing the top of the cabinet

The upper part of the cabinet, located under the ceiling, is called mezzanine. It allows you to maximize the use of space against the wall, which is especially important for small or narrow and long hallways. Another advantage of the mezzanine is the absence of a surface for the accumulation of dust between the cabinet and the ceiling. Depending on the needs of the owners, the space of the mezzanine can be used in different ways. Photo wardrobe in the hallway inside can be seen below.

Usually mezzanines are shelves that store clothes and shoes in boxes out of season, as well as suitcases, equipment for sports and recreation. Another option to use the top of the cabinet is to install hangers with a special lift. This design is called the pantograph. It is made in the shape of the letter "P". The system of descent and ascent can be mechanical or electrically driven.

Filling the bottom of the cabinet

The bottom of the cabinet is usually taken away under the shoes. It is placed on wooden or metal shelves, in special metal baskets. Shoe shelves are usually set at an angle.

On one shoe shelf fits 2-3 pairs of shoes. So in a large family, the bottom of the closet will be occupied only by seasonal shoes, the rest will be stored on the mezzanine. It is necessary to think in advance about the height of the shoe so that it fits in shoes with high tops. In addition to shoes, drawers for small items can be placed in the lower part of the cabinet: shoe polish, clothes brushes, etc. Qualitatively made drawers completely roll out of the closet, but do not fall out of it. Well, when the drawers are equipped with automatic closers that quietly and smoothly push them into place.

At the bottom of the cabinet, you can leave free space for a bicycle or large-sized equipment, for example, a vacuum cleaner.
