Carried long side first, it needs an opening of 60 × 100 cm. Your doorway is 76 × 198 cm.

Two equal hinged doors are each half the total width.

Why depth matters if you hang clothes

The rail runs from side to side, so each hanger points from the back panel to the doors.

TOP VIEW: Hangers point front to backTOP VIEW

Hangers point front to back

An adult hanger is about 43 cm across and a coat hanger 46–48 cm. On a side-to-side rail, shirts and jackets need at least 50 cm of clear depth and coats 53 cm (21 in), or they press on the doors.

FRONT, DOORS OPEN: A hanging side and a shelf sideFRONT, DOORS OPEN

A hanging side and a shelf side

Doubles are often split down the middle. With a center divider each side is about 47 cm wide. In a 200 cm wardrobe the rail sits about 170–175 cm up, roughly 5 cm (2 in) below the hat shelf.

Questions

What is the standard width of a double wardrobe?

Most freestanding double-door wardrobes are 90–120 cm (35–47 in) wide, 55–60 cm deep and 180–200 cm tall. In the UK and Europe, doubles are often 90–100 cm wide.

Will long coats and dresses fit in a double wardrobe?

On the hanging side, yes. Long dresses and coats need 150–170 cm (59–67 in) of drop, and in a 200 cm double the rail sits about 170–175 cm up.

How much space do the doors need?

Each hinged door swings out by its own width, so on a double wardrobe each door takes about half the total width. With 40–50 cm doors, keep 75–90 cm (30–35 in) of clear floor in front so you can stand at the open door.

How many clothes does a double wardrobe hold?

A rail across a 95 cm double holds about 38 shirts, or 25 shirts and 6 jackets. That is why most people pair a double wardrobe with a chest of drawers for folded clothes.

Is a double wardrobe for hanging or for shelves?

Often both: a double is often split into a hanging side and a shelf side. With a center divider, a 100 cm double has two compartments of about 47 cm each.
