What Wardrobe Storage is Right for You?

The different storage inside a sliding wardrobe will often be referred to as a wardrobe interior or a wardrobe insert - but how do you know what storage to choose?

If you are working on a sliding wardrobe without interior storage, you have a clean-slate to work with and therefore have more flexibility with what you can do. If your sliding wardrobe doors have recently been installed, chances are you will be wondering what storage you should put inside.

Before you start purchasing random boxes and drawers to put inside, you might want to consider the different options available that will help you to build the perfect wardrobe.

Wardrobe Interiors

Usually consisting of shelving, hanging poles and drawers, these are the structural foundations that allow you to store things efficiently in different compartments. Without these elements, you’d only be able to put stuff on the floor, which is practical for… well… nobody. All you would have is an empty space inside that is hard to keep neat and tidy due to the lack of internal storage!

Wardrobe interiors play an important part of any sliding wardrobe, providing you with a way to store your clothing and other belongings in an organised fashion.

Rather than buying random storage and hoping it ‘just works’, we have compiled a few short steps that you should consider to help you make the right decision.

1. Think about what you need to store first!

Assess the situation before you do anything by taking the time to look at your belongings. This will help you to figure out what needs to go inside you wardrobe and how it can be categorised.

the trick to a tidy wardrobe is keeping things off the floor. If you’re someone with lots of clothes and shoes, you might want to consider rail and shelving combo’s to keep things off the floor.

If you have a lot of accessories, like hats, scarves and belts, you might be better suited to drawers. You don’t need to restrict yourself. think about where your things can live and this will help you to effectively plan your wardrobe interior.

2. Think about size - it DOES matter!

You don’t want to cram too much storage into your wardrobe so that it looks cluttered. At the same time, you want to put enough inside to make storing things easy, in a neat and organised fashion.

Think about the space you have to work with as this will help you to effectively plan your storage. By using our wardrobe design tool, you can play with different interiors to find what fits. This will give you an accurate idea of what your wardrobe will look like when it is finished, allowing you to purchase your doors and interior storage at the same time to build your dream wardrobe.

3. Think about the quality of the wardrobe interior

Don’t just look for the cheapest option when choosing your wardrobe interior storage. Look for quality storage that will last you for a long time. After all, your wardrobe isn’t something you will change every 2 years, like your mobile phone.
