Expert Tips On How To Create Perfectly Organised Wardrobes - By: Tina M

Pefectly organised wardrobes are a joy to use, & creating a well organised bedroom wardrobe is a simple matter of following a few rules, which once done will potentially save you hours each day.

1 Have a seasonal clear out. If it’s not in season store it away, maybe in a vacuam packed bag under the bed or in a box on top of the wardrobe if you have room.

2 Don’t have anything in your wardrobe that needs cleaning or repairing. Bite the bullet & take it off to be cleaned & repaired before hanging it up again. Wardrobes full of clothing you cant wear are just a waste of time.

3 After your clear out make sure you have a clear view of everything. Ensure you can see all your clothing by hanging everything on hooks or clothes hangers with enough space, & put anything boxed in clear boxes. Out of sight is out of mind & there is no point spending money on beautiful clothing, shoes etc if you don’t wear them.

4 Devise a system, either put similar colours together, or similar items together grouped into function, eg work, weekend, going out. This might seem overly organised but will pay dividends. Generally speaking put tops above skirts & trousers if you can so you can see things together. Wardrobes with two hanging rails, one above the other, are ideal for this.

5 Make the most of the wardrobe height. You will probably have room for two hanging rails, one above the other, & maybe even a shelf to store out of season clothing etc at the very top of your wardrobe. Since very little of your wardrobe needs full length hanging space this is a wasted area you can easily & cheaply make the most of, & enables you to hang tops above skirts/trousers as per the previous rule.

6 Consider getting purpose built shoe storage. Rotating shoe racks & pull out shoes racks are both useful, or if you have a lot of shoes a separate shoe cupboard might be useful. Some wardrobes have better shoe storage than others, which might be something to think about if you are buying a new one.

7 Don’t forget accessories. Shoving ties, scarves, belts etc away in drawers means you aren’t looking at the whole picture when you open your wardrobe door. Put tie racks, hooks etc on the inside of your doors to hold small items so you can always see them.

8 If you don’t wear it don’t keep it. An easy way to do this is to turn your hangers around the wrong way, turning them around as you wear everything. At the end of the year see which items are still hanging the wrong way around & either put them on ebay or give them to family, friends or charity. Be ruthless as too many pieces you don’t wear will ruin your attempts to have an organised wardrobe.

9 And last but not least keep a box in your wardrobe with the bits you will need for basic repairs so that you can do them as they crop up. Pre thread needles, & keep any spare buttons that came with the clothing in the box (in their original bag so you know what they are). Some iron on webbing is useful for repairs on hems, & some clear nail polish great for ladders in stockings.
