How to calculate square feet of wardrobe?

I change my wardrobe look and design it in a creative way once every 5 years. I get bored of things very easily, so I prefer to give them a different look every time.  If you want to change your old wardrobe look to a whole new look, you need to decide the design first. When you are done with deciding the design of the wardrobe, start measuring the length and width of the area. You should take accurate measurements of the place where you want to fit the wardrobe. And then you can start fitting your wardrobe as per your requirement. Let’s see how to calculate square feet of wardrobe.

The process to calculate square feet of wardrobe:

Assume you're in front of the wardrobe. If the height of the wardrobe is 8'. Lofts are frequently modified in height dependent on ceiling heights, and 8' is commonly regarded as a standard wardrobe height. Determine the width from right to left after that. It is 7' usually with 8’ height. Multiply the two to get the wardrobe's square feet (sqft). As a result, the wardrobe in this case is 8'X7' = 56 square feet. 1) Snap a picture of the space at which the wardrobe will be installed. 2) Measure the distance between the floor and the ceiling, as well as the distance between the floor and the top. You should measure the height of both right and left sides. 3) You have to combine the measurements of both the first side and opposite side to get the width of the space. 4) Across both corners of the wardrobe, take a measurement from front to backside. 5) You should measure the distance from the rear of the wardrobe to the beginning of the door exterior siding. The curtains, window panels, shutters, and other window coverings should be measured in relation to the wall's depth. 6) The distance between the rear of the wardrobe and the entrance of the manholes should be measured.

Factors that affect square feet rates:

1) The price varies with availability and requirement, and also the area's standard of living. This is also dependent on the architect and labour. 2) If you choose high-quality plywood, the square feet cost will be higher. It varies as per your choice and expectations. 3) The design of the wardrobe is also the main part in affecting the wardrobe’s square feet cost. 4) The laminate and sheet you will choose will also result in square feet rates.

How to Measure Wardrobe in Square Feet

• Measure the dimensions of the room where you want to install the wardrobe and sketch a bird's-eye-view scale drawing of the room using a pencil, paper, and ruler.

• After that, measure the width and height of the space in which you’re planning to keep the wardrobe.

• Draw the planned wardrobe area on your sketch. Write the height and width measurements as well as the corresponding dimensions.

• Multiply these measurements to calculate the square feet. For example, if you have a wall area that is 12 feet wide by 7 feet high, multiply these two numbers to get 84 square feet.

I suggest you go for marine- or commercial-grade plywood for fabricating the basic structure of the wardrobe.

External finish

Use material finishes like veneer, laminate, glass, acrylic, etc. for the wardrobe’s external facade.

External polish

Some popular finishes used on wood veneers are PU (polyurethane) and melamine polish finish.

Internal finish

The wardrobe’s internal surfaces need to be finished in materials like hand polish, internal laminate, or wood paint.

The basic hardware, like handles and hinges, is available at different costs and varieties. Choose as per your budget & taste.
