Wardrobe organisation tips: maximise storage and keep your space tidy.
Sometimes, choosing what to wear can be hard enough without having to rifle through an unorganised wardrobe to try and find that one item you're looking for. A well-organised wardrobe will make your bedroom look tidy and save you time and effort daily. Read below as we highlight the very best wardrobe organisation tips to keep your closets well-planned out and clutter-free, plus how we can help you create the wardrobe of your dreams.
The Hanger Trick
This tip is incredibly easy because instead of having to devote a massive amount of time to declutter and organise, you do a little bit each time you get dressed. The hanger trick starts with you placing all of your hanging items backwards (with the open loop of the hanger facing you). Then, for the next twelve months, whenever you wear an item and put it back, place the hanger back the right way (loop facing away from you). At the end of the year, you can easily see what items you haven't worn as the hanger will be facing forward. This trick is the perfect way to see what clothes you don't wear and should donate to a new home. If you want to expand your hanging space, Kitchens U Build can create a fully customisable space with a hanging area to suit you. We also offer pull out hanging rails to double your hanging space.
Utilise shelf accessories, and storage baskets
The Kitchens U Build team can help you design and deliver a custom solution if you prefer a mostly shelving and drawer wardrobe. For wardrobes with a lot of shelving space, you want to get the most out of every single self. For smaller items like socks, underwear, and hosiery, consider adding small baskets; you can add a few baskets per shelf, and they will make sorting and finding items easier and make the shelves look tidier. For precious items like jewellery, why not include a Jewellery tray for your drawers? Kitchen U Build has two colour options, and they come in a luxurious felt to keep your valuables safe.
For other drawer accessories, Kitchen U Build can include lower cabinet pullouts. Available in multiple finishes, lower cabinet pull-outs make it easier to access folded items and can store anything from towels and clothes to specialty versions made for hanging pants and storing shoes.
Maximise wardrobe space with accessories
You can find extra space on the inside of your wardrobe doors, so it's a great idea to make the most of it by adding additional storage or accessories. An over-the-door shoe rack is an excellent option because it doesn’t take up much room and can be easily installed using over-the-door hooks—no tools required. To make ironing less of a chore, consider a pull-out swivel or pop-out ironing board. For final wardrobe adjustments, Kitchen U Build can install a pull-out mirror in matte black or chrome, featuring a soft-closing mechanism and a size that allows for a full view of your outfit. Check out our wardrobe catalogue to explore all the accessories available to maximise your space.
Organise by season and declutter
Even if you have lots of space for a walk-in robe, decluttering is the key to keeping it tidy. Once summer has ended and the days start to get a bit too nippy, it's a great time to reorganise your wardrobe for winter and declutter. Put all your summer things into boxes and store them under the bed or out of your way. The seasonal change also gives you a great chance to go through your clothes for the upcoming season and see if there is anything you want to get rid of. (if you haven't worn it in a year, it might be time to say goodbye.) For the ultimate clutter-free walk-in robe, Kitchens U Build can design and create a solution to fit any space; you also have the option to install the wardrobe yourself and maximise your budget or have our experienced team install it for you.
Having a well-organised wardrobe in your bedroom makes your life easier and keeps your bedroom sanctuary neat and tidy.
