A space to store your clothes. Very little consideration is given to this very personal space that holds our outfits that show the world who we are.
Often the wardrobe is small, and the configuration is a top shelf with hanging and 3 -4 shelves down one side. The result? Lots of dead space.
The good news is over the last 10 years wardrobe shelving and storage has come a long way. Let’s break down what I think you need to look for.

The good news is over the last 10 years wardrobe shelving and storage has come a long way. Let’s break down what I think you need to look for.
Do your wardrobe internals maximise your cupboard space?
You are looking for a system that you can move or add shelves to maximise space.
Accessory options such as clip in hooks, smaller shelves, pegboards, hooks etc. will increase your storage space and make organisation easier.
The right wardrobe internals make organising your wardrobe easy?
The right internals will ensure that everything has a place right down to your selection of sunglasses. When everything has a place it so much easier to stay organised.
How much of your clothes and accessories are visual?
“Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner says that the majority of people wear 20% of their closet 80% of the time.
I believe that when items are tucked away in drawers or hidden from view in boxes, we simply forget about them. Especially if we are in a rush to get dressed.
Storing our clothes in pull out baskets prompts us to remember more of what we have. Pull out shoe racks lets us see in an instant which shoes work best. Clip on hooks allows us to store scarves, belts, jewellery.
Can you easily move or add to the system as fashion and needs change?
The best way to keep your wardrobe organised is to take stock at least once a year and declutter your closet. Once you do this put your garments into piles representing how they will be stored. Long hanging, short hanging, drawers, shelves etc
Then move your wardrobe internals around to suit your specific needs keeping as much as you can visual.
I can personally attest that the more I do this the more organised my wardrobe is. More importantly the better it looks.
What is the longevity of the product?
