If you have a lot of clothes (&shoes&scarves&bags) how do you store them?

[Umlauf]

Although I NEVER have anything to wear somehow I have a lot of clothes, scarves, shoes, coats etc.

We're having a baby and moving to a 2-bed flat with built in wardrobes, no space in bedroom for extra wardrobes and I suppose the baby will have to use at least some of the wardrobe in his room!!

Just wondering what other people in similar situations do about storage? Are there any amazing tips or awesome furniture secrets you can share with me?!

Get a wrought iron style bed (with space underneath) and buy some of those roll out under bed plastic tubs. They are brilliant for storing underwear, scarves, accessories, etc.

Also under bed tubs used here - for shoes. I have a loft and keep summer or winter clothes up there in big storage bags and do a big wardrobe 'swap' twice a year.

Yes to the underbed storage. I have 4 suitcases and a big underbed storage zip-up bag under mine.

Clothes are an issue for me. I have a wardrobe, two chests of drawers and an ottoman in my bedroom, all full, and that's with all my winter clothing currently in the afore-mentioned underbed storage, and with a certain amount of clothing waiting to be washed / in the wash / hanging up to dry. DD has a chest of drawers that is full and inadequate for all of her clothes. DS has a wardrobe that is downstairs due to lack of space in the DCs' bedroom, and that is also full.

Shoes: most-used shoes line up under the dining-room cabinet. Less-used shoes go in a chest in the hallway.

Bags: have a dedicated shelf on a unit in the hallway, as do wellies.

Scarves: generally draped over the dining-room door.

Coats and jackets: have four hooks in the hallway and an over-door hook unit in the dining room, and it's not enough (I have a coat problem ). Out-of-season coats get tossed into the coat closet of doom along with anything else that doesn't have a home.

Get an IKEA scarf hanger - they have freed up so much space in my wardrobe. They are basically a whole lot of loops joined together & you tie the scarves onto it. I hang mine on the back of the spare room door.

I have my scarves hung on a wooden hanger, the ones with the bar for trousers on it, with loads of shower curtain rings looped onto it.fits loads.
shoes I have in plastic lidded boxes.

I put hooks on the inside of my wardrobe doors and hang scarves up in there. Shoes are in a hanging thing inside the wardrobe and on the floor of the wardrobe too.

Do you wear all this stuff though OP? Maybe a bit of streamlining might be in order? I used to hang onto loads of clothes I never wore on the off chance I might fancy wearing them - it never happened Now I get rid and once they are gone I never give them a second thought.

I have the same problem. Have also two kids and keep buying for them as well. Live in 3 bed house, still not enough space to keep everything regardless the number of wardrobes in the house. Tried to sell some clothes and shoes that I have worn once or twice and ended up with a feeling that I have lost something ...Have plenty of dresses that have not worn so far and think to buy a new one for my daughter's birthday. I know, I have an issue! Solution for me is a walk in! Sorry, I am not helping ...

I use those "storage baskets" for things like bags, scarves, chunky jumpers and a big transparent storage crate that I literally cram all the shoes I own but wear the least often.

This keeps everything in reach but ordered, accessible and quite tidy looking (less cluttered). The shoe crate is concealed under the hanging part of the wardrobe and the baskets sit on a shelf above the hanging items so do not look too messy.....

Keep extra coats in a wardrobe in spare bedroom.

Wish i had space under the bed as well though!
