How do I make this wardrobe useful?

Oh wise Mumsnetters, Lockdown has given me the gift of a bedroom revamp, I've mastered wallpapering, done a bit of plastering and painted. Got everything in the Laura Ashley closing down sale and looks high quality but managed under £100 and have a small budget (£100 max) left to invest. I have a built in mirrored wardrobe that hides a double depth wardrobe on one side and 12 cubby holes on the other. I'm clearing the middle to create a dressing table, something I have dreamed of for a while! There will also be a EBay declutter!
How, just how do I store clothes in these cubby holes without them becoming a terrible mess as things are dragged out etc? I have searched for storage boxes but the cubby dimensions are 60 x 30 x 25. So not standard.
Knowing no self respecting MN can pose this without a pic, see attached for the current muddle I live with, bonus if you can guess which side is DHGrin

I’m not expert on wardrobe but I think you should find transparent storage box (search Amazon maybe for the special size) and fold all your clothes vertically as Mary Kondo style.

Is the depth 60? Just wondering if 2 30x30x25 clear boxes would fit on one self?

Great ideas, I would love to find boxes the right size!, it's quite a deep space! Two boxes is interesting though!

Closest size I could find on ikea site. Great for rolling clothes for vertical storing.
