Whether you are buying a new wardrobe or simply bringing an old one back into order, these basic rules will help.
First, empty the old closet. When clothes are no longer sorted properly, it becomes difficult to organize the closet. Only when you know exactly what you like to wear can you judge what kind of storage you need. More T-shirts and jeans mean more shelves and drawers. Many skirts and dresses require a long hanging rail, or two rods at different heights. It is also important to leave a little room for new clothes.
Organize your closet – tips with a big effect
Many different organization systems are available. If you have enough free space, you can organize a walk-in closet. Dressing areas with sliding doors create a seamless connection to the room and can be divided into zones for winter and summer clothes. An adjustable shelving system with drawers at different heights is especially practical. Metal racks can be rebuilt easily, and you can always add new details. If you want to build a closet yourself, allow at least 35 cm between shelves. The hanging rod should be fixed at a height of about 90-130 cm from the floor.
Small room, big challenge – space-saving alternatives
A small bedroom can benefit from a cabinet system that reaches from floor to ceiling. Good planning is especially important: clothes worn often should always be within easy reach. Practical combinations include hooks above, shelves and drawers below, and storage for underwear and accessories. Drawer dividers and small baskets maximize the available space so you can keep track of everything and organize the wardrobe easily. Open storage is convenient, but it gathers more dust.
Closet organization – accessories
Other elements help keep the wardrobe well organized. Clothes lifts make the best use of vertical space and let you switch quickly between winter and summer clothing. Trouser racks and extras such as shoe shelves, belt clips and even integrated ironing boards can be added later. It is worth thinking about LED lighting early, since retrofitting it can require more work. With careful planning, professionals can also help; Zalf, part of Gruppo Euromobil, offers high-quality storage systems for the whole room.
