What is the optimal spacing for wardrobe rails in a closet?

The optimal spacing for closet rods in a wardrobe depends both on the length of the clothing you want to hang and on the available space in the closet. Here are some general guidelines:

• For long dresses, coats, or trousers that should hang fully extended, the distance from the closet rod to the bottom of the closet should be at least 170 cm. This allows your clothing to hang freely and helps prevent wrinkles.
• For shirts, blouses, or other short items, a distance of 100 cm is usually sufficient.
• If you plan to install two closet rods one above the other, the upper closet rod should be mounted at around 170 cm and the lower one at around 85 cm. This provides enough space to hang shirts and trousers on the lower rod and coats and dresses on the upper rod.

Please note that these figures are general guidelines and may vary depending on the specific clothing and the exact dimensions of your closet. For smaller closets, it may be helpful to leave less space between the rods and instead offset them sideways.
