1. Start with the right layout

Start with three zones: hanging, folding and accessories. This will give you an immediate idea of how much space you need. The right wardrobe layout is personal. Do you hang a lot of clothes? Then make more space for your hanging clothes. Do you prefer to fold everything neatly? Make more space for your folded clothes.

Hanging clothes saves a surprising amount of space. Hanging clothes also prevents creases. Shirts and jackets are best hung on a clothes rail or wardrobe lift. Do you have a lot of long dresses? Use our module for long items of clothing so that nothing drags on the floor! Do you have a lot of trousers? A trouser hanger keeps everything crease-free and organised.

Clothes that you fold can be placed on shelves or in drawers. Small items such as belts and underwear can be stored in separate compartments. This allows you to design your customised wardrobe with a layout that works perfectly for your daily habits.

2. Sort by category (and stick to it!)

Sort your clothes by type and stick to it consistently. T-shirts with T-shirts, jumpers with jumpers, trousers with trousers. If everything has a fixed place, your wardrobe will stay tidy. You can see what you have more quickly and you don't waste time searching. The busy morning rush will become a little less stressful now. 😉

3. Think in terms of daily flow

Sort your clothes based on how often you use them. A logical layout makes your wardrobe much more pleasant to use on a daily basis. Keep clothes you wear often within easy reach. Items you only need once a season, such as your brightly coloured ski trousers, can be stored a little higher up.

This will not only keep your wardrobe tidy, but also make it super convenient to use. Do you use drawers? Then socks, lingerie and accessories will stay neatly organised and easily accessible.

4. Small helpers make a big difference

Think of:

  • clothes hangers that keep your outfits looking good
  • a trouser hanger that keeps everything neat and wrinkle-free
  • extra storage compartments or trays for small items
  • a set of tools to adjust or screw something in place later

With the right details, your wardrobe will not only stay tidy, but also stylish. Make it easy on yourself with these little helpers!

5. Make it personal (and fun!)

Does a splash of colour in your wardrobe make you happy? Then hangers in fun shades are ideal for coordinating everything beautifully. Do you prefer a more subdued look? Then choose clothes hangers that match the colours of your wardrobe. Do you like to work with a clear structure? Combine drawers, shelves and hanging sections so that everything automatically has a logical place.

A beautiful wardrobe motivates you to keep it tidy, and that's exactly what makes organising like a pro so much fun!
