Smart & Stylish Wardrobe Storage Ideas

As you shift through your cluttered wardrobe searching for that T-shirt you last saw a year ago, the one that’s just perfect for today’s outfit, you might be wishing there was a better way to organize your clothing. Great news—there is! Effective wardrobe storage isn’t a mysterious dark art. Simply follow these tips on how to organize your wardrobe, and you’ll never lose track of your clothes in the clutter again!

Let’s get started

To start, begin with a thorough decluttering! You likely have many clothes you no longer wear. By streamlining your wardrobe, it will be much easier to keep it organized and quickly coordinate stylish outfits. As you assess your clothing, create three piles: one for items to keep, one for donations, and one for those that are beyond repair and should be thrown away.

Out of season – Out of sight

While organizing your “keep, donate, and toss” piles, prioritize your current season’s wardrobe—the items you’re wearing right now. Afterward, you can sort the remaining clothes by upcoming seasons. Why? If you’re short on space or prefer to keep your wardrobe streamlined, storing clothes you won’t need for a few months out of sight can be helpful.

If space in your bedroom is limited, consider using another underutilized area in your home for these garments. For example, if you have an unused room, such as an extra bedroom or a home office, you could clear out unnecessary items, as you’ve done with your wardrobe, and convert the space into a walk-in closet!

Customize your wardrobe solutions

Now that you’ve narrowed down your wardrobe to the essentials, it’s time to get organized! A convenient and space-effective solution for storing foldable clothing is a drawer storage unit. If you already have a chest of drawers and have space for it, that works well. Alternatively, you might consider modular units, such as the Eden Range, which come in various sizes and can fit below or alongside hanging rails. If you’re starting from scratch, a fully modular wardrobe is a worthwhile investment!

Movable hanging rails offer a flexible and cost-effective way to organize your hanging clothes, including jackets, dresses, and long trousers. Modular wardrobe solutions can help maximize your space and tailor it to your needs. Consider using two levels of hanging rails to make the most of vertical space. A step stool or small mobile ladder can help you access higher items. Additionally, hanging shelves are a great option for storing clothes.

Achieve the look and convenience of built-in wardrobes without the expense of major home renovations. To maximize the space within your home wardrobe, consider the wardrobe inserts, including hanging rails, drawers, and shelving units.

How to get it all organised?

Spend some time carefully reorganizing your cupboard—consider using dividers and separators to categorize items by type. For example, you can store underwear and socks together in one section, while vests and shorts have their own designated area. Ensure that frequently-used items are easily accessible. Shoes can also take up a lot of space and often end up as disorganized clutter at the bottom of your cupboard or in a corner. To bring order to your footwear, try using a shoe cabinet. The Eden 6 Shelf Wardrobe with Sliding Shelves is a great option, as it keeps your shoes neatly arranged and easily accessible on the lower level. This solution will get your shoes off the ground and free up space for other uses. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your newly organized wardrobe!
