One of the best ways people can instantly make their home more desirable on the market is to add a walk-in wardrobe to their bedroom. Not only are walk-in wardrobes a very useful asset to have when you want to sell your home, but they’re also a great way to make your home more organised, especially your spare room. Having a walk-in wardrobe is fantastic if you want to have an amazing space where you can get ready for the day. Here is the perfect way to organise a walk-in wardrobe, to organise all of your clothes, accessories and other essentials!
Get Rid Of Items That You Don’t Need
One of the best ways you can ensure that your walk-in wardrobe is perfectly organised and neat is to start by decluttering your existing wardrobe. Your new walk-in wardrobe can’t be neat and tidy if it’s overflowing with clothes that you don’t wear. Before you start to create your walk-in wardrobe space, make sure to get rid of clothes that you don’t wear anymore, by donating them to charity shops and selling them online. If they’re beyond donating, why not cut up the spare clothes and use the fabric as spare cleaning rags, to prevent clothes from going to landfill?
Work Out The Hanging Space You Need
When you start organising your walk-in wardrobe space, it’s important that you have an accurate idea of what you will use the space for, and how much space you will need. For example, if you have a lot of clothing items that need to be hung up (such as long coats, pressed trousers and maxi skirts,) you should factor in enough space for these items. Ensure to factor in space that is high enough, so that the edges of your clothes will not drape onto the floor.
Install A Vanity Table
If you want to have a vanity table in your walk-in wardrobe to do your skincare and makeup, you should install it before you start hanging up your clothes and shoes. If you try to add a big vanity table right at the end of organising the perfect walk-in wardrobe, you could find that you don’t have enough space for it. Make sure to add the table right at the beginning to ensure that you have factored in enough room for it. (Add storage for your makeup, hair products and natural skincare products as well, so that you can optimise the use of the space as much as possible.)
Make Space For Shoes
When organising a perfect walk-in wardrobe, many people forget to make space for all of their shoes. Installing shoe racks near the bottom of the walk-in wardrobe is a great way to ensure your shoe collection is organised and neat, so you can find the shoes that you need for any occasion. You might also want to consider investing in shoe bags, so if your shoes are dirty from everyday use, it doesn’t get the rest of your clothes dirty as well. Another innovative idea for storing shoes is to invest in a shoe island, right in the middle of your walk-in wardrobe – if you’re a shoe addict, you should definitely consider this option!
Invest In Hooks
The number one piece of homeware that you should stock up on for organising the perfect walk-in wardrobe has got to be adhesive hooks. One of the best ways you can store a lot of clothing items and accessories very easily is through hanging hooks on the insides and outsides of doors, on walls, and even on the ceiling! If you have a lot of clothes that you need to make neat and tidy, you should definitely be bulk-buying adhesive hooks for the home.
Make Sure To Keep The Floor Clear
When you’re designing and creating your perfect walk-in wardrobe space, you should always make sure that you’re keeping the floor space clear of clutter. A walk-in wardrobe should be exactly that – you should be able to walk around it! When designing the wardrobe cupboards, racks and storage for your walk-in wardrobe, you need to make sure that all of your items have a place. If you end up with all of your clothes on the floor, this could render your walk-in wardrobe effectively useless. Ensure that you’re regularly tidying the walk-in wardrobe and making sure that all of your items have a clear place, to keep it as perfectly organised as when you first designed it!
Invest In Storage Boxes
One of the best ways you can keep your walk-in wardrobe perfectly organised is to invest in lots of storage boxes. It can take up a lot of space to individually hang up your t-shirts, trousers, socks, underwear, especially if these items do not need to be hung up. However, if you get lots of storage boxes for your casual clothes, you can find that you end up being able to store a lot more items using less space. Storage boxes are a very effective way to keep your walk-in wardrobe space very neat and tidy.
Add A Tall Mirror
The perfect walk-in wardrobe space wouldn’t be complete without a tall mirror, so you can look at your outfits and have fun switching around your clothes! When you’re sketching out the blueprints for your walk-in wardrobe, make sure that you factor in enough wall space to add a tall mirror. Take care to make sure the space is well-lit as well, so you can look in the mirror and get a great idea of what your clothes look like!
Consider A Standing Rack
If you find that you’ve got a lot of space in your walk-in wardrobe, you could always consider adding a standing rank (like one you might find in a clothes shop) to the centre of your space. Clothing racks are a very popular homeware item right now, and are a great way to instantly elevate your home interiors. If you’re struggling to find a way to organise your walk-in wardrobe, you should definitely add a standing clothes rack.
Organise Your Clothes Into Categories
If you want a walk-in wardrobe, you should make sure that you organise all of your clothes into categories so you can find your items more easily. For example, you should store all of your gym crop tops with your tracksuit bottoms and leggings so you can find your gym clothes easily when you want to work out! You should also match up your work clothes, loungewear sets, going out dresses and your formalwear so you can easily find great outfits when you need them.
Creating the perfect walk-in wardrobe space is easy once you know where to start – keep all these top tips in mind and create the perfect wardrobe space that you won’t get bored of!
