What can you do when there are not enough wardrobes in the home? Here's 8 strategies to try
Some of us might go a little crazy buying things when out shopping - others of us, not so much. But no matter what type of shopper you are, it can be an issue finding room at home for all your personal belongings. And when our homes are already "full", there's not much we can do, or is there? In reality, there is always a way to make more room.
Here then, are some ideas that may work for you. Below, provide some space-making (and space-saving) suggestions:
If the problem is piles of clothes and accessories scattered throughout the room (or over the famous chair!), then perhaps it is worth considering whether there is enough space along one wall to put up an open wardrobe on wheels. You can equip it with hanging organizers or various containers for all your stuff.
Did you prefer shelves and open-faced units? Then maybe you should reconsider. They are beautiful, but they take up space without offering many solutions for tidying up. And maybe a nice old-fashioned wardrobe, a big one, can also be attractive.
If then you were lucky enough to live in a house with many rooms, and the problem of storing clothes and accessories is serious, you could convert some space into a wardrobe. There are a thousand ways to do this, from the cheapest to the most expensive. It doesn't take much effort to turn a niche or a recess into a wardrobe, a chest of drawers or a shoe rack!
On the other hand, if the problem is mainly related to storing seasonal accessories, try using wall-mounted hooks. The range of the types of hooks available is vast and suitable hooks can be found to match the decor in all your rooms.
Wasted space, such as the space under the stairs, or under sloping roofs, can be closed off and decked out with DIY wardrobes: ideal for anyone who wants to give some DIYing a try and to exploit every last centimeter of space available.
The wall niches might be too small for clothes, but they could be perfect for storing shoes!
When a large part of a wall is free, you can create an open-faced storage space for your things. Shelves, rails, modular structures made of pipes and other fittings, can transform a blank wall into an open-faced wardrobe that solves your storage problems.
If you have an attic, garage or some other similar area, it can become the place to store your seasonal items. You'll have to make sure you put each item into a suitable container to prevent it from getting ruined whilst in storage, of course.
By combining some of these solutions together you could find the perfect strategy for your home!
