Where do you store all your clothes??

[Delara]

Especially if you live with a partner in a house without any built-ins? Whenever I look at houses on Rightmove I think where on earth are people storing their clothes!

I am moving to a house with this floorplan for the master bedroom. The alcoves are 90cm and 110cm so won't fit double wardrobes, and the 90cm alcove won't be very useable as the bedside tables will be blocking it. I have a small wardrobe that can fit in the 110cm alcove, but this wouldn't even fit all my clothes, and I could put a double or triple wardrobe to the left of the room, but it would block the window.

Maybe I'm just being very unimaginative? My partner is moving in and I'm used to living alone, he has more clothes than most men do so I'm not too sure what to do. Maybe if you share what you do I may get some ideas?

We looked at a pax hack but the alcoves are such awkward sizes we didn't think it will work. We haven't thought about running them on the left side though, that's a good idea! Thanks

Yes this is a good idea, someone else suggested the bed on that wall and I think changing the door around would be helpful for either option! Thank you

Rails are a good idea for awkward alcoves, I tend to want my clothes stored away but it may be a good option until we get built ins! Thanks

Thanks we are hoping to eventually get built ins, this helps me visualise things!

I'm quite ruthless with decluttering, I actually think I'm more worried about my partner's clothes as he has loads of very bulky coats and jackets! A small wardrobe and chest of drawers would probably do me fine, but he has more clothes than I do (and he has office/ formal occasion wear which I don't have). I've asked him to declutter before he moves in 😂

Thank you, moving the hinges is a great idea and really opens up options in the room!

Futon Co. is good for small spaces - I've got their clothes rails in my alcoves & several of their woven/cloth baskets with clothes squirreled away inside them. Muji also good

I'd put a double wardrobe floor to ceiling here, with sliding doors. Little gap at end to let light in from window and allow curtain to hang.

Ottoman bed

As @CeramicRoses says, "Shelving with sliding doors in each of the alcoves by the fireplace. A wardrobe on the wall behind the door. " - shelves in the alcoves because you will not have enough depth for a wardrobe with rails to hang clothes (it's usually 60 cm, minimum 55 cm) if you say the bedside table will block one alcove. Shelves that are 30-40 cm are perfect for folded clothes and you can also have drawers in the bottom half; this depth is fine for underwear, socks etc. A run of normal depth wardrobes on the wall behind the door, not all the way up to the window, for hanging clothes. Make it go all the way up to the ceiling and store things on shelves at the top above the rails. I would also change the radiator to smaller or have two under each window, and put a narrow wardrobe, or a chect of drawers, in the space between the windows, if there is enough of clearance to the end of the bed. Bed with storage for seasonal items/extra bedding (Ikea for example).
