Wardrobe solutions

Start by making the most of the wardrobe you already have

Are you standing and looking at a wardrobe that is packed to the brim, but where you still can never find what you are looking for? You are not the only one. The feeling that the wardrobe is too small is rarely about a lack of space. More often, it is about the space not being utilized. The air above the hanging rail, the bottom of the wardrobe, the deep drawers, and the space under the bed often go unused, while the clothes pile up on the same few shelves.

Wardrobe solutions here at élé living are about giving every part of the wardrobe a fixed function. When everything has its place, you get an overview, and everyday life becomes easier. You do not need to tear down the wardrobe and build a new one. You also do not need to overhaul the entire bedroom at once. Start with one area, such as the hanging rail or the bottom shelf, and build on from there.

Build upwards with hanging storage

Most of a wardrobe is air. From the hanging rail up to the shelf, there is often half a meter or more where no clothes are hanging. You can make use of that space with hanging modules that click onto the rail and divide the height into compartments.

In the shelves, you place the clothes that take up space and do not need to hang. Sweaters, knitwear, T-shirts, and sweatshirts lie neatly in stacks you can see down into, instead of being squeezed together on hangers. This gives both an overview and a calm, uniform look every time you open the wardrobe.

• Wide hanging storage - beige accommodates more shelves for folded clothes and suits a wardrobe with good width.
• Wide hanging storage - light grey provides the same function in a light grey shade.
• Narrow hanging storage - Beige is for the narrower wardrobe or to supplement the wide one, so you utilize the corners.

Get trousers, belts, and accessories in order on the hangers

Trousers that lie in a pile become wrinkled, and you end up taking the same two pairs because the rest is buried. A hanger that holds several pairs at once gathers them in a little space and gives you an overview of the entire selection with a single glance.

Trousers hanger / multi-hanger wood hangs several pairs of trousers one below the other, so they take up height instead of width. If you prefer a light and uniform look, the same function is available in Trousers hanger / multi-hanger white. You will find them both under multi-hanger.

Belts are the kind of accessory that always ends up in a drawer in a tangled clump. A Belt hanger chrome hangs them individually on the rail, so you see them all and can take the right one without rummaging. If you want to read more about how to organize them, check out the guide to belt hanger.

Drawers that are divided keep order by themselves

A deep drawer without dividers quickly becomes a common pile of underwear, socks, sportswear, and everything else that does not have a fixed place. If you divide the drawer into compartments, each type gets its own section, and then it becomes easy to put things back in the right place.

Drawer storage with dividers - beige divides the drawer into smaller compartments that suit underwear, socks, and small accessories. For the slightly larger items in the drawer, you use a Drawer organizer small - beige or the spacious Drawer organizer large - beige, depending on how much space you have to distribute.

If you want more ideas on how the drawers can be set up, find inspiration under wardrobe drawers and in the guide smart clothing storage.

Utilize the space under the bed and on the top shelves

The clothes you do not use right now do not need to take up space in the daily wardrobe. Move them over to soft fabric that protects against dust, and place them where there is already extra space.

Under the bed often hides a good half meter of unused space. A Storage bag under the bed - beige slides under the frame and keeps extra bed linen or clothes you do not use daily clean and together. On the top shelves, where you cannot reach daily, a Storage box in fabric - beige works well, and for the clothes that need to be accessible from both sides, the Storage bag in fabric - double opening - beige is practical.

If you have suits, dresses, or other clothes that need to hang flat and be shielded, a Suit bag - beige keeps it dust-free on the rail. More solutions for this kind of thing you find under storage bags.

Shoes that are stacked give calm at the bottom of the wardrobe

Shoes that lie in a pile at the bottom of the wardrobe or float in the entryway are one of the things that most quickly create a feeling of clutter. Stackable boxes gather them in pairs, so they stand protected and visible, and you can build them up in height, so they take up a little floor space.

Stackable shoe box - small suits most everyday shoes, while Stackable shoe box - large is for boots and the larger pairs. If you want to get started with more at once, the Package solution - 4 pcs. stackable shoe boxes - Small contains four boxes in one purchase.

You will find the entire selection under shoe storage, and in the guide shoe organization we go in depth on how you create calm in both the wardrobe and entryway.

How to tackle an entire wardrobe without losing your breath

Many are surprised by how little is actually needed to create an organized wardrobe. You do not need to do it all in one afternoon. Take it in order, so you can always see that it is moving forward.

1. Empty one section at a time. Start with the hanging rail, a single shelf, or the underwear drawer. Lay everything out, so you can see what you have.
2. Sort out. The clothes you have not used for a long time, and which are just gathering dust, you set aside. What is to stay, you divide into groups.
3. Give each group a fixed place. Folded clothes in the hanging shelves, trousers and belts on the hangers, underwear and socks in the divided drawer, shoes in stacked boxes.
4. Move the rare away from the daily. Seasonal clothes and what you do not use right now, go under the bed or on the top shelves in fabric.

Once the system is created, it almost takes care of itself, because things have a place to come back to.
