If the shoe cabinet is too deep, it is difficult to put shoes in and take them out. If the shoe cabinet is too shallow, the shoes cannot be put in and it is difficult to close the door. Now Xiao Teng will talk to you about the depth of the shoe cabinet.

1. Standard size of shoe cabinet

The standard size of a shoe cabinet is 35cm. I found the size 43 shoes at home and the actual measured size was 28cm.

Taking into account the thickness of the shoe cabinet door panel (18mm) and the back panel (9mm), if the shoe cabinet is reserved to 35cm, it is a more conservative design choice.

▲The so-called depth of a shoe cabinet generally includes the dimensions of the door panels and back panels.

2. The deeper the shoe cabinet, the better

The height of each layer of a shoe cabinet is generally 15-20cm. If it is made too deep, the shoes will be placed too deep and it will be very difficult to take them out.

▲The shoe cabinet is too deep, and you have to reach in to get your shoes.

If you put shoes on the lower shelf, the shoes in the cabinet below will be blocked by the upper shelves because the shoe cabinet is too deep.

▲The shoe cabinet is too deep, and the shoes placed on the lower layer will be blocked by the shelves, making it inconvenient to find.

3. What should I do if the shoe cabinet is shallow?

For smaller apartments, the size of the shoe cabinet in the entrance may not be enough.

① Make the layer board into inclined board

Make the shelves in the shoe cabinet slanted so that the lack of depth will not affect the storage and placement of shoes.

②Put the shoes horizontally

If the shoe cabinet is not deep enough, you can put the shoes in diagonally, so that the depth of the shoe cabinet is only about 10cm.

▲If the shoe cabinet is not deep enough and the shoes are sticking out, you can put them horizontally.

③Tips shoe cabinet

The depth of this shoe cabinet is about 15cm, and the cabinet door adopts a flip-opening method. You don't need to squat when taking shoes, and the inside is clearly visible after the cabinet door is opened.

▲The flip-top shoe cabinet saves space and is easy to use.

The size and depth of a shoe cabinet are often designed based on comprehensive factors such as the layout of the house and the size of the family's shoes. It is generally recommended that the size be sufficient. If it is too deep or too shallow, it may be inconvenient.
