The Initiative Pro Massivholz (IPM) has a funny way of pointing out the advantages of a closet made of solid wood: "[...] The natural material wood [is] inherently antistatic and therefore does not attract dirt or dust, which means that choosing a solid wood wardrobe plays into the hands of those who don't like to clean," explains Andreas Ruf, Managing Director of IPM. According to IPM, closets made of solid wood also offer other advantages such as stability and durability.
In addition, closets made of solid wood can be tailored to special customer requirements and can be installed precisely in sloping ceilings, for example. If closets are installed, the distance from the wall should be five to six centimetres to allow air to circulate. In addition, a minimum distance of 80 centimetres should be maintained between the bed and the closet in the bedroom. According to IPM, this not only allows the occupants to get out of bed easily, but also to reach the closet easily.
The size of the closet depends on the number of people using it. As a rule of thumb, the IPM recommends one cubic meter of wardrobe volume per person. The visual appearance of a room can be influenced accordingly by choosing an appropriate grain. Vertically grained wardrobe fronts create a visual elongation of the room, whereas horizontally grained wardrobe fronts can make the room appear lower.
