How long is your share of the hanging rail in your wardrobe?

[ADefiniteMaybe]

That's it really. I am getting a new wardrobe and have decided that it and one half of the chest of drawers will hold all of my clothes. I want to own less, wear them more in my new improved world :). My DH is also going to fit the base of the wardrobe with two long shelves for extra storage but that will be it.

I have about 4m hanging space. But there's quite a lot of 'give' in that, because it's there so I separate out to make finding things easy. So probably could fit it into about 2.5 at a push.

We share a single wardrobe, about 1m, it has two half hanging rails.

Also have two large and two small drawers.

I always make myself throw out at least one thing when I buy something new to me dh has been trained to do the same.

[ADefiniteMaybe]

This is really great and very inspiring! My new wardrobe has already taken on mythic proportions and is going to change my whole life :). I really believe that by making this 120cm rail and the shelves below the extent of my clothing I will lead a purer, better life! I am also delusional about many other areas of my life

i have the wardrobe and chest of drawers in our room. DH has one (bigger than mine, but has lots of other things stored in there too) in the spare room. i don't know how much hanging space there is tbh but it's perfect for me, I have my shoes/boots/bags in boxes or dust bags in the bottom of the wardrobe and nothing anywhere else in the house.

Spare room and dressing room wardrobes + bedroom wardrobes

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

they must be lucky sods with bloody big bedrooms.

I can understand that. My mm has something similar. But I'm struggling with the fitting in 3-6 separate wardrobes.

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

I've just got one of those sliderobe things running wall to wall floor to ceiling. narrows the room by a couple of feet but no doors to open so less space needed

How do you all have enough space for multiple wardrobes? We've got one wardrobe and a chest of drawers and no more space.

[TheDevilsGherkins]

I have six wardrobes. DH has two. Each about 1m.

[ImTooHecsyForYourParty]

we've got one that runs the full length of one wall and it's a double rail and we've got half each.

[ArbitraryUsername]

I have 1/3 of a 120cm rail. DH has the rest. He has more drawers than me too. And yet he's the one that's always moaning about not having enough clothes.

[MortifiedAdams]

I have the whole rail. DH has the five shelves on the side.

[MarinaIvy]

Oh, don't even get me started about our floordrobe.

In theory, we've each got one Ikea double-door thingumy (and further space in another room) but they're side-by-side to form an alcove, and Guess Who has the one further in? That I can never get to because the alcove is always so full of crap?

We recently had to buy a second wardrobe because of this 'sharing' thing.

My dresses were getting creased as we shared a rail 50/50 (well, 60/40, I have more clothes!) so I took the drastic step of buying another wardrobe for DP.

Much better

[KristyWills]

I have a rail and a chest of drawers which are bursting plus all the space underneath the rail and a shelf on top of the rail. OH has a rail which is half full, and a chest of drawers. We're looking into getting fitted wardrobes to hide everything so i hope we can find one with efficient storage. i also have the storage space under the bed - far too many clothes. Sienna will grow up to be just like her mummy lol! x

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

I have a 5m long wardrobe and probably have about 4m of that plus some more hanging space and a chest of drawers and extra shoe storage DH has 1m of hanging space, some shelves and a chest of drawers.

[scarlet76]

I am also trying to reduce the amount of stuff I have, aiming for quality over quantity.
I have about two thirds of a shared rail - around 80cms. I have a large basket on the shelf above the rail and room for shoes under the rail. I also have 2 large drawers and a small drawer in a chest we share.
I hang seasonal coats / jackets. Those not in season get packed and stored away in the attic. I hang dresses, shirts, skirts and trousers.
I fold all knitwear and keep in the basket above.
I have one large drawer which I fold Ts, vests and also keep running attire in.
In the other drawer I fold jeans, leggings and shorts.
Oh wait, I also have space in the tall boy by my bed which I keep underwear and scarves.

[Hopefully]

I have about half of a 120cm hanging rail, and five drawers in a single wardrobe, and that holds everything - undies, sports clothes etc. only shoes are elsewhere

[FrancesFarmer]

Separate Wardrobes. I absolutely could not share!

[Llareggub]

I have it all to myself. One of the many benefits of being single, although I have rather begrudgingly given over a drawer to my chap who stays over occasionally.

[QuinionsRainbow]

DH and I each have two-door built-in wardrobes for long items, and each have a rail in a third single-door wardrobe for shirts, blouses etc. We each have a small 3-drawer bedside cupboard, and share a 6-drawer chest of drawers.

[emsyj]

We have equal hanging space but I also have some shelves that I use for cosmetics, perfume and gym stuff. We have separate chests of drawers for undies etc. Neither of us has very many clothes tho.

[StatisticallyChallenged]

We have a 4m long wardrobe - it's from Ikea and is also very tall. DH has 1m of it (which gives him a shelf at the top, a hanging rail, another shelf, 2 drawers and a trouser hanger pull out.

The other 3 metres are mine I have built my drawers in to that too so it holds all my underwear, PJs etc as well. Because some of it is double height that basically means I have 4m of hanging rail, 5 large drawers and 5 or 6 small drawers.
