In small apartments, clothes are everywhereaccumulates: on the floor, on a chair, in the bathroom. There is no way out, because you can’t allocate a separate room for a wardrobe? We’ll let you in on a secret: it’s not about the size of the area, but about the general approach to organizing things. There are a lot of options - simple and original, you just have to look for a Wardrobe with a full-length mirror - it’s just a dream. It seems that if the house were bigger, if you had another room at your disposal - life would change, clothes and shoes would always be in order and getting ready to go out would be simple and pleasant. Believe me, even the owners of huge mansions lack another room, very necessary, but, alas, non-existent. It’s better to accept it and start using the possibilities of the available space. And they definitely exist!
Bedroom: you have a wardrobe
A wardrobe is not the whole of a dressing room, it would be goodprovide a dressing area and a large mirror, but it solves all storage problems. Now all that's left is to find a place for it in a modest-sized apartment - the bedroom seems like the most logical option at first glance - and then find additional space in it: there is several times more of it there than you think now.
Search for a place
Even in a small bedroom there simply must be somethingspace for a wardrobe. Perhaps you have an unoccupied corner? Or the space behind the headboard? If the room is irregularly shaped or there are niches in the walls, a wardrobe will fit perfectly there.
Perfect order
The key to creating a comfortable wardrobe iscool head and sharp mind. We have already written about tricks, and the main one is simple - do not keep unnecessary things. Get rid of everything that no longer pleases you. Throw out the old so that the new can come - you will see how much space will be freed up.
Cunning hangers
Keep up with the progress - bulkyPlastic and especially metal hangers are morally obsolete. For thin, elegant things, there have long been hangers upholstered in soft material. There are separate options for storing trousers and ties. There are even real works of art - hangers that simultaneously store gloves, scarves and clothes. They look very interesting. Our opinion: - Have you tried the double storage method? Two hangers are connected with a tag from soda cans - who would have thought that they could have such an additional function. So, one hanger hangs on the rod, and the second - on the first. Increases the capabilities of the closet exactly twice! Works better with short and light clothes - for example, children's.
Organizational changes
Go to the inner workings of yourwardrobe as a professional manager. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of your clothing collection, identify opportunities for optimization and the main threats to your well-being. Strengthen logistics: let the most frequently used outfits hang closer and higher, and less favorite ones - lower and further away. And color coordination of clothes will help you navigate its diversity more easily.
Augmented Reality
Even a designer wardrobe, made to ordercustom-made, may require additions and alterations as time goes on and needs and lifestyles change. For example, consider adding a hamper for dirty clothes in or near it. This may help prevent those clothes from ending up in other rooms. You can store items from another season in baskets or boxes on or under the closet. Extra shelves or a half-height rail can add storage space for new shoes as your family or wardrobe expands. And it would be nice to have a chair nearby to take a break from work.
Bedroom: you do not have a closet or a place in it is not enough
Sometimes a closet doesn't fit the style or the square footage.And sometimes clothes go beyond its limits, and there is nothing you can do about it. More precisely, you definitely need to do something about it before it starts to dominate your well-thought-out and beautiful interior. There are ways.
Hide from the eyes
Use shelves and hooks for storagewall that can be fenced off. Still, the main advantage of a wardrobe is the closing doors, allowing you to relax without wondering whether you need another blouse. Cover the improvised wardrobe with curtains or a screen. Or allocate a corner for it out of your field of vision.
Under the bed
Don't underestimate the location.You can store things out of season here, and, for example, shoes. It is convenient to use baskets and boxes. But the best option is a tray on wheels, which is easy to roll out.
Suspended state
Hanging storage systems userarely used space under the ceiling. In addition, it is convenient to store bags and shoes under the hangers. The whole interior begins to resemble a designer boutique, but do not overdo it. If you have to push the hangers with clothes aside with your hands to get to the next room, then you have gone too far.
Old chairs
This idea seems a little crazy, butthe result is interesting. Use old chairs as clothes hangers. The seat will thus be a shelf, for example for hats. And the frame of the chair - a rod for hangers. Solving the issue of organizing a wardrobe not by buying new furniture, but by using old - this is an eco-friendly approach to design.
Mobile stand
There is something very stylish and cosmopolitan abouta floor rack-hanger for storing clothes. As if you are a fashion magazine editor preparing a model for a photo shoot (the model is also you), or a fashion designer ready to present his collection on the catwalk. Here you can store the most relevant, favorite and beautiful clothes. If the rack is on wheels, it is easy to move it and arrange a wardrobe analysis, for example, in the living room.

Cloakroom staircase
Use of stairs and stepladders in the interioras storage means - a design trick that is becoming increasingly popular. In the bathroom, towels are conveniently stored on the steps. Next to the bed, a stepladder can replace a bedside table. And two, connected together, are an excellent multifunctional replacement for a mobile hanger rack. There is room for both shoes and jewelry.
Other options
Do you prefer to just sleep in your bedroom?Your right. If the wardrobe is in a different place, the process of getting ready will acquire more solemnity. After all, you will have to not just take clothes out of the closet or from the shelf without waking up, but get up, put on a robe and slippers, take a few steps. During this time, you will have time to become a little aware of reality and you will make decisions that are perhaps more meaningful and correct.
Wardrobe in the hallway
Organize storage of clothes in the hallway -logical. This way you can get dressed without waking up your loved ones who have to get up later. Use the length of the hallway by organizing storage along the wall. The main thing is to leave a passage, preferably at least a meter. Our opinion: - Mirrored cabinet doors are most appropriate here. They will visually enlarge a narrow space and allow you to examine your outfit in full height and in all details.

Wardrobe in the bathroom
Interesting option.Pros: The bathroom is where morning preparations take place, so having a wardrobe at hand saves time. In some layouts, the bathroom includes additional space, the so-called "dressing room", where a wardrobe can be arranged. Cons: humidity and high temperatures do not benefit clothes or wooden and metal structures in the long term.

Wardrobe on the loggia
Very often, this is the very one"extra room". If you insulate it properly, the possibilities of using it are endless. Why not equip a wardrobe here? A good idea is to install a full-length mirror, the lighting here is daylight and natural, ideal for an objective assessment of the appearance. But provide blinds - you should not change clothes in front of your neighbors.

Wardrobe and home office
In modern storage systems, such as,the famous Pax wardrobe from IKEA, perfectly fits the workplaces. Thus, the wardrobe can be combined with a home office. The height of the shelves and their configurations can be easily varied to allocate a work area to your needs. If the workplace is in a walk-through room, the correct location of the wardrobe will create only your space and a feeling of isolation.

Wardrobe-sauna
Probably the most original option of all.Dutch designer Anna van der Lei's version of a sauna looks like a closet and is quite suitable for storing clothes. But just add water and you can take a bath and enjoy spa treatments and the smell of pine, from which the walls are made. Clothes do not suffer - the partitions are waterproof. On the contrary, the steam smoothes them out. A phenomenal idea.
