Wardrobe Storage: How to Design an Organised Space

Plan your wardrobe storage around your needs

Planning your wardrobe design before choosing products is important to ensure its best suited to your items and storage requirements. Deciding what space is needed for hanging clothes will help determine the number and size of hanging rails that are required. The amount of space needed for folded clothes, shoes, and accessories will also influence how many shelves, baskets, and other storage solutions will need to be installed.

Create hanging space with wardrobe rails and brackets

Installing wardrobe rail kits, rails, and brackets helps to utilise hanging space and keep clothing items such as dresses, tops, and jumpers easily accessible and organised. Decide whether single or double rails are the right choice, depending on your wall space and number of clothes. Choosing the right rail position is also important to ensure clothes are at a reachable height, while using sturdy rail brackets ensures that the rail is suitable for heavier clothing.

Improve accessibility with pull down clothes rails

Pull down clothes rails are great for making use of high wardrobes, keeping items easily accessible and improving organisation. Installing these saves time and space, maximising vertical storage for additional items. Fitted wardrobes also benefit from pull down clothes rails, providing easier access without wasting overhead space.

Maximise storage with shelves and baskets

Installing shelves and adding baskets is a great way to create effective wardrobe clothes storage for folded clothing, knitwear, and accessories. This helps to reduce clutter and is great for belts, bags, hats, and other accessories. Shelves keep items visible, making them easy to find, and baskets help to store items out of sight, contributing to a more organised environment.

Build a flexible wardrobe storage system

Building a flexible wardrobe storage system allows for flexibility and easy reconfiguration if you're moving or in need of a change in storage. Utilising wall bars and top tracks helps to create adjustable layouts and allows for future flexibility.

Keep shoes and accessories organised

Keeping shoes and accessories organised by investing in shoe racks and gliding racks is important for reducing clutter caused by leaving shoes scattered around bedrooms. These bedroom wardrobe storage solutions keep footwear tidy and ensure shoes are easy to find. By saving space and improving accessibility, these solutions make better use of lower wardrobe space.
