How to Organise Your Wardrobe

A well-organised wardrobe can make a huge difference in your daily routine, saving you time and reducing stress. But how do you achieve this? The key lies in designing and installing a wardrobe that meets your specific needs. At A1 Shower Screens, we specialise in custom shelving, draw towers, storage areas, and mirrors that help keep your wardrobe neat and accessible. Let’s explore how you can organise your wardrobe to maximise space and functionality.

Assessing Your Current Wardrobe Setup

Before diving into organising your wardrobe, take a good look at your current setup. Identify the main problem areas: Are there not enough shelves? Is hanging space limited? Are your shoes cluttering the floor?

Consider your clothing and accessory collection:

  • How many hanging items do you have (dresses, suits, shirts)?
  • How many foldable items (jumpers, t-shirts)?
  • Do you have a significant number of shoes, bags, or accessories?

Understanding these details helps you plan a wardrobe design that suits your needs. A1 Shower Screens can assist you in creating a custom solution that optimises your space.

Sliding Doors 

Sliding doors are a practical addition to any home, especially when space is at a premium. Unlike traditional hinged doors that swing outwards and require clearance, sliding doors move smoothly along a track, allowing you to utilise every centimetre of your room.

This design not only frees up valuable floor space but also contributes to a cleaner, more streamlined look in your home. Whether you're aiming for a modern aesthetic or simply looking for a space-saving solution, sliding doors offer the perfect blend of functionality and style.

Maximising Hanging Space

Hanging space is crucial for items that wrinkle easily or need to stay in pristine condition, like dresses, suits, and shirts. Here’s how you can maximise it:

Double Hanging Rods: Install two rods, one above the other, to double your hanging space. Use the top rod for shorter items like shirts and jackets, and the bottom rod for skirts and trousers.

Extendable Rods: These are perfect for creating additional hanging space temporarily or adjusting the height for longer garments.

Pull-Down Hanging Rods: Ideal for high wardrobes, pull-down rods make it easy to access clothes stored at the top.

Incorporating Shoe and Accessory Storage

Shoes and accessories can easily clutter a wardrobe if not stored properly. Custom solutions from A1 Shower Screens can help keep these items organised and accessible.

Shoe Racks and Shelves: Dedicated shoe racks or shelves keep your footwear tidy and easy to find. Consider adjustable shelves to accommodate different shoe sizes and styles.

Accessory Drawers: Specialised drawers with compartments for belts, ties, jewellery, and watches ensure these items don’t get lost or tangled.

Hooks and Hangers: Use wall-mounted hooks or over-the-door hangers for items like scarves, hats, and bags. This keeps them off the floor and within easy reach.

Adding Mirrors and Lighting

Mirrors and lighting play a crucial role in creating a functional and pleasant wardrobe space. Here’s how to incorporate them effectively:

Mirrors: Full-length mirrors are a must-have for trying on outfits. Consider mirrored wardrobe doors to save space. Internal mirrors inside draw towers are also a great option for smaller spaces.

Lighting: Proper lighting ensures you can see all your items clearly. LED strip lights inside wardrobes provide excellent illumination without taking up space. Motion sensor lights are convenient, turning on automatically when you open the wardrobe door.

Maintaining Your Organised Wardrobe

Keeping your wardrobe organised is an ongoing process. Here are some tips to maintain order:

Regular Tidying: Schedule regular times for tidying up, whether it’s weekly or monthly. Consistently putting clothes back in their designated places after use is key.

Seasonal Rotation: Rotate your clothes seasonally to free up space. Store off-season items in bins or boxes on higher shelves or under the bed.

Decluttering: Periodically reassess your wardrobe. If you haven’t worn something in a year, consider donating or selling it.

Cleaning: Keep your wardrobe clean by dusting shelves, vacuuming the floor, and wiping down mirrors and doors.
