Wardrobe Storage Solutions

One thing we all have in common is clothing. We all need it, we all wear it. Some may have more than others and some may have greater disposable income to spend on its acquisition. However, in general, most people will run into a similar wardrobe issue at one time or another - storage.

A common complaint in a lot of homes is that there is simply not enough storage space. Shoes may wind up in a cluttered pile on a closet floor, dressers and wardrobes may be crammed to overflowing while storing all seasons of clothing in the same place, bulky items may make it nearly impossible to find things efficiently. The end result of having a lack of wardrobe storage is that clothing can become a tangled mess and even the most expensive pieces will no longer look their best.

For those with adequate-sized closets in their homes, a good starting point would be to seek out fitted wardrobe storage solutions that will meet their needs. Visit any home improvement store, such as Lowes or Home Depot, and there are many built-in closet options. Prepackaged kits come with shelving, rods (adjustable and/or double hanging) and other pieces to help create a usable space. ClosetMaid, for example, available at Home Depot, offers their Selectives White Custom Closet Organizers. They feature a shelving tower (16 inches wide in the T3 model, 25 inches wide in the T4 model) and expandable rods.

If the home or apartment simply does not have enough closet space, a freestanding storage unit or building is a valuable investment. Fortunately, wardrobes and cabinets are available in many price ranges and some are very affordable. Consider a Sauder wardrobe storage cabinet. Sauder offers a two-door, two-drawer storage cabinet that includes a hanging rod inside the larger door. Alternately, one might choose their two-door hanging wardrobe storage unit. Sauder furniture is assemble it yourself style and available in an oak finish that is an easy fit with many home decor finishes.

Some people have more than enough closet space - they simply don't know how to organize. Any department store will offer options to get things ship shape. Walmart, for one, offers a great selection. Space Bag wardrobe storage bags, available in combo sets, are vacuum seal bags that are excellent for storing off-season, bulky items like sweaters (up to ten in a large Space Bag) or bedding (two queen sized bedding sets and four pillows in an XL Space Bag). Compressing these items to a fraction of their size immediately increases available storage space - and contributes the added benefits of protecting the contents from mildew, bugs and more. Add some cardboard wardrobe storage boxes and a shoe organizer (hanging, cabinet or open shelf style) and wardrobe storage becomes a more pleasing task.
