Organising Your Belongings In A Small Walk-In Wardrobe: Strategies For Efficiency

Many people struggle to keep their clothing and accessories organised, especially if their walk-in closet is small. However, designing walk-in wardrobes can make all the difference in maximising your storage space and creating a functional and efficient wardrobe. With strategic planning and a few helpful tips, you can turn your small walk-in wardrobe into an efficient space.

This blog post will discuss strategies for organising your belongings in a small walk-in wardrobe. Our tips can help you transform your closet into a well-organised and stress-free space.

Maximising storage space

You might believe that making the most of the storage space in your walk-in closet can be difficult. It's not necessary to be! Here are some tips to help make the most of your room and keep your clothes organised:

1. Utilising shelves and cubbies

Instead of hanging your things on hangers, you can utilise shelves and cubbies. It allows you to store twice as much in the same quantity of space. You can use stackable drawers to give you even more room for storage.

2. Hanging clothes strategically

The secret to maximising your storage space is hanging clothes strategically. It's all about making the most of the vertical space you have. Consider using slimline hangers that take up less space than traditional hangers. Also, you can use hangers that let you hang several things, such as cascading or hangers with clips.

3. Keep similar items together

Group similar items together to make it easier to find what you need. For example, hang all of your pants together, all of your dresses together, and all of your jackets together. Keeping the same items together will also help reduce clutter in your closet.

Take accurate measurements of your space

Measuring your area is vital before building a custom walk-in closet. By doing this, you can ensure that your new wardrobe will fit in the available space and not occupy excessive space. This will help you narrow down your options and ensure that you choose a wardrobe that fits perfectly. Follow our guide to measure your space:

• Using a measuring tape, measure the length and width of the room where you want to install the walk-in wardrobe. Measure the longest and widest points to get an accurate measurement.
• Measure the ceiling height at several points around the room. Write down the highest measurement.
• Calculate the distance from any room obstructions, such as a window, radiator, or door, to the walk-in closet's door. This will help you determine the best location for the wardrobe.

Determine your budget

It's crucial to decide on your budget before designing a walk-in closet and to plan accordingly. The cost of walk-in wardrobes varies greatly depending on different factors. Consider budgeting for the storage solutions you need and any other features you want.

For example, the Venice Walk-In Wardrobe by Emmebi is a versatile design. You can choose from infinite door styles, colours, and finishes to suit your tastes. You can even add a centre island that caters to your jewellery and watch collection if that’s what you fancy.

To help you determine the cost of your walk-in wardrobe, FCI offers a cost calculator to give you a quote. You can input the dimensions of your room, your preferred material, and the specific features and accessories.

Choose the proper storage solution for your space

If you're trying to decide what kind of storage solution is best for your space, we've got some tips to help you out:

• Plan your layout: Once you've assessed your storage needs, plan the layout of your walk-in wardrobe. Think about where you want to place your hanging rods, shelves, and drawers and how much space you need for each item.
• Choose high-quality materials: Quality materials will ensure that your storage solutions last a long time and withstand daily wear and tear. When choosing storage solutions, seek durable materials like metal and solid wood.
• Consider lighting: Good lighting is essential in a walk-in wardrobe. Consider installing overhead lighting or a chandelier to add glamour to your space. My Suite Walk In Wardrobe by Porada features interior lighting to showcase your belongings.
